People generally dread new and un tried experiments, lelleving it is bet ter to bear the Ills we have than fly to those we know out of; but I consider It most esscntinl to insist as a pre liminary upon a clear recognition of the truth that change will come whether we like it or not. It is Imp03 isblo to hold the existing conditions unchanged. Tho United States is not the government It was one hundred years ago. States are no longer sov ' erelgn, slavery has been abolished, ' colonial dependencies acquired. Elec tion of senalois and of the president , by popular vote is foreshadowed. Tho worm is not me worm it was ouu year's ago. In religion, politics and economics it Is different. let us as sume, therefore, that our institutions are not eternal, but will change. The next innuirv is what instittl- ' tlons seem most the object of assault and most subject to change.

The facts bear out this theory. The Sources of Wealth. We And the asaults to come direct ly or indirectly from the laboring masses, or in their behalf, and that they are directed against the sources of wealth railroads, trusts, mines, landownersbip, etc. We And an In cieasinb number who, while not actu ally starved in one day, yet live short ened lives because of the wretcneu economic environment Into which they are born. And we also find a stupendously Increasing wealth in tho hands of a very few; a wealth which is so great it convinces us it cannot be the just rewards of brain or ef fort, because no brains or no effort could in a few years amass such wealth were there net some special privileges which directed the labor or the gains of the many Into the channels leading to the few. There is a more or less blind feeling among the people that there is something wrong in the economic institutions wnicn make it possible for tho wealth of the whole people to be In the hands of a very few far beyond the Just reward for the greatest possible human amu ty.

Schmidt ft Co., druggUU Rockefeller, Mr. Morgan or Mr. Car negie. More Intelligent and Jusc minds see that the individual is rather to bo commended for his use of exist ing Institutions and it is the insti tution which is to be blamed. Stones are to be hurled, If nt all, at tho wrongful institution, not at the man who has profited by It, I olinll nacnnin at this IlOlllt that everyone recognizes that human Insti tutions hnvo been changing since the creation just as the world, the sun.the moon and stars are cnanging; mm ji imnnooliiin fnr us In hold our Insti tutions fixed and permanent as u was for the institutions of Pericles, Cae sar, Charles I and Louis XV to remain to this day Change Inevitable. If we conclude change will come In spite of lis, the next speculation is as t.i wlmt will be the character of the change. Herbert Spencer and other profound thinlctrs declare tho change is to he toward socialism, or centraliz ation of wealth, and the instruments for producing wealth, In tho hands of government for the common good. The newspapers report Mr. J. P. Mor gan as coinciding in this view and de claring men like himself are neces sary instruments preparing tho way for socialism by natural evolution. There Is a certain drift in human events which seems beyond control. It is as if ordered by some power su perior to man. That drift today cer tainly seems to mo to be toward so cialism. The first cry of the democrat ic convention of New York upon tho anthracite coal' situation was for gov ernment ownership of the mines. Cer tainly It is easier for government own ership to take over a few great trusts than to organize a multitude of com petitive industries into one great gov ernmental trust; and certainly the ex istence of trusts provoked a popular leaning toward socialism. I have no doubt In my own mind that tho ten dency is towards socialism, and I be lieve no argument or force can pre vent It. It may be the actual changu will be made amid a bloody revolu tion, the many assailing the few, the T.opulace against tho government, as has been usually tho case in history', for the owners of privileges assailed have always been as sure of their rights and as honestly outraged as Is Mr. Baer when he calls for govern ment troops to protect him lu his light to do as he pleases with his cwn. it would have bePn very easy to have precipitated a miniature "re Lellion" or "revolution" or "war" be tween the strikers and the armed forces of the government, and It is not difficult to imagine a situation some day which will embrace the whole country, when the question shall arise of the rights of the masses jf people everywhere to wrest fro mtlie few all manner of vested rights. But there is room to hope that a greater popu lar intelligence in our day will ren der It possible to make the final tran sition in peace. Inalienable Rights. It is quite posible also that before the final transition is made, those owning tho property of tho country will for many years have been In ab solute power by means of a standing army and a proletariat vote, wnicn they can control. It will oventually become a question as to what are ested and inalienable rights. In spite of the popular clamor against him, Air. Baer is exactly right in his claim to do as he pleases with his own. If Mr. Baer wo will say for sako of il lustrationowns the entire anthracite coal fields by a perfect legal title, ac cording to tho law of the day, ho has just as much right to do as ho pleases with it as we huve to do as we please with our houses. He can forbid any man to mine any coal at all. Ho can, if he bo so minded, shut down all mining and quit, and lie is entitled to all the armed force of our land to keep off trespassers and portect him in his right to mine coal by whom he pleases, or not to mine it at all If he so pleases. So that If it should nap pen that the anthracite coal owners choose to stop the world's supply of anthracite coal and let the fields lio idle for a few generations, they have today, under tho existing law, a right to do it. and a right to all the force in tho land to protect them in that right. Something Wrong. Such a conclusion seems to suggest by its own awful consequences that there is something wrong, not with Mr. Baer, but with legal institutions which admit audi a conclusion as a theoretic possibility. For a true righi Is right "all the time and under every theoretic possibility. It is no answer to say the self Interest of tho coal owners will not permit them to stop all mining. The question is. ought a whole people to depend for its neces saries on th ewill of any individuals. A truth is right in theory as well as practice for all truth Is theory ap plied to practice. There is also tho feeling that ft man's ownership of a natural deposit, which ho did not make, but which God made and seem ingly left as a common inheritance for man, is not on the same footing with the plough or ship or other arti cle his own nands have made from tho crude deposit or natural growth. And though the feudal law of landhold lug survives today and gives a man legal title to theso natural deposits or giowths, there Is an instinctive feel ing that there is something wrong with a legal theory which permits the man on tho spot, or with th0 ready money, to buy up and monopolize the necessary natural gifts of tho earth, even against those who at the time were unborn and had no possiblo equality of opportunity; permits him for a few dollars an acre to clap his paper tltlo upon all tho coal, or Iron, or oil, or timber ho enn find and lay It away Idlo, neither using It himself nor permitting others to uso It till In tho lapse of years he sees fit to do so. The Law, Not the Man, There is no Just condemnation to be made of the man who does this. The law exists, and while it exists (Concluded on page 7.) iiHiiiiiiniiiiniiiinimiiniiiiiiiiiiiHiiiimiiiiiirti' urcninu ur McCain ster Addition Friday and Saturda; February 6 and 7 A Grand opportunity to buy Eesidenc Property in Pendleton I Invest your money in Pendleton Real Estate You can't lose and are certain of gain.
