If the tone of the press counts for
much, the brand of socialism which
has sprung up in official Washington
is not spreading fast. The people are
not ready to “reach out, take and di-
vide”—not just yet anyway.

a wave of unprecedented prosperity

From San Antonio comes the news
that the women are paying their poll
taxes very slowly and manifesting no
interest whatever in politics. Texas
and Southern women should manifest
an interest in politics, but not to the
extent of going to the polls and cast-
ing a ballot. It is to be hoped that
this same laudable lack of interest
will prevail all over the State. Home
is the real foundation of good govern-
ment and when the woman has made
that what it ought to be she will have
done more to “make the world safe
for democracy” than she can do with
ten thousand ballots.

ownership of railroads. In other
words there were no socialists pres-
ent. The conference recommended
that the roads be turned back to their
proper owners at once. This very
praiseworthy cry is being sent to
Washington from all parts of the
Union and, it is safe to say, it will
bear good fruit. While the peace con-
ference is at work in France there
are other important conferences being
held at home, that our own coun-

not popular with either of the old par-

Neither or old parties wants
government ownership oi ^«vthin-i'.
None of the great business- men of the
nation want it. The National Cham-
ber of Commerce is against it. All
manufacturing and industrial enter-
prises, through the N. C. of C., have
gone on record against it. Then, in
view of all this, where is the ground
for ,any agitation in favor of it? The
only outspoken champion government
ownership has is the socialist party.
Every platform this party has pro-
mulgated for years gives special at-
tention to the idea. This being true,
is it not peculiar, therefore, that those
high in authority in democratic ranks
should declare for government own-
ership when the only party champion-
