recently in the valley telling people
about Prof. Burbank, the wizard oi the

miffed because the Democrat in its ar

instance something in the new species
produced, and also lams it to the Cor
vallis paper for enlarging upon the
powers of Mr. Burbank in mentioning
a .tasteless goosberry. As a matter of
fact the Democrat gave Mr. Burbank a
good notice. It has always been his
friend against the calumnies of his ene
mies; but some friends do more harm
than an enemy, and one of them is evi
dently Prof. Adrian, a childish teacher
down in California, who means well,
but executes poorly.
The work of Prof. Burbank is a great
one, whether he makes strawberries
grow on apple trees or mules on a
horse-chestnut tree or not.

WORK ON
SOCIALISM.
An Iowa Lawyer in the field.
Lawyer J. M. Work, of Desmoines,
Iowa, a good speaker, addressed an
audience at the court housa last even
ing on socialism. ,
He said almost evervbodv is dissatia-
! fled nowadays, that a feeling of unrest
is aoroao in tne land, because ot the
capitalist rolling in wealth' he has not
earned, but by the working classes who
in justice ought to have it.
The present great question is how can
justice be done, which he proceeded to
tell, declaring it to be the collective
ownership of the exploiting industries
by the public, which would lake the
benefit trom the parasites to the peo
ple. . It cannot be done by smashing
the trusts or by regulating them. ' The
owners of the industries of the country
will regulate them. In short socialism
is the remedy, according to Lawyer
Work.
Getting enthasiastic he said: "We are
making new converts to socialism every
day. It is only a question of time when
we will be in the majority. As fast as
people learn what socialism really is,
they become socialists, knowing it is
the only way out of the present con
ditions. When a person becomes a
socialist this world becomes bright with
hope, because he sees the appalling
evils can be remedied. ' '
Another meeting at the court house
tonight will be addressed by Mr. Work,
who will give special attention to
answering questions about socialism.
