Willie had n purple monkey
Climbing up a yellow stiok,
And when ho licked the paint all oft
It mado him deathly slok,
And in his dying momonts
lie clasped that monkoy In his hand
And bade farowoll to tho bright world
And went to a bettor land. Ah I

Bury poor Wllllo way out In tho woods
In a beautiful holo In tho ground,
Where tho woodpockors sing and tho bum

And the straddle bugs tumblo around,
So that In tho winter, whon the slush and
snow
Has coverod his last llttlo bod,
Ills brother Artemus may go out with
Jane
And visit tho plaoo with his slod.

Tho address of Hon. L. 15. Richards
before tho Political Economy club at
tho state university last night was
very well attonded.
Tho subject of tho address was "So
cialism and Wealth Distribution." Mr.
Rlchnrds succeeded, tho subsequent dis
cussion proved, in arousing a great deal
of thought and Intorcst. Following Is
a synopsis of the address:
The experience of the past three years
has added to our store of knowledge.
Wo know some things we did not know
then. We have been experimenting,
and experience is necessary to ascertain
tho best solution of social problems.
"Wo all favor suoh legislation as will
enable our people as a whole to enjoy
tho grcaitest prosperity. If free silver
will do this, -vvc would all favor free
silver. If a rovonuc tariff, tho govern
ment ownership and coivtrol of rail
ways, ota, Willi best benefit the people,
wo would all favor such policies. Rut
wo must remember tint the govcrnmoivt
must be supported by tho people, not
ho people by tho government. Wo dc
tormlne whether a government is good
or bad by tho condition of its people,
and their ability to live on tholr in
comes.
"Wo all dcslro Justlco and the best In
terests of 'the great feat numbor, and
such changes In legislation as will best
.secure ithls.
"Charges of favoritism, class legis
lation and dishomst government are
today freely mnda It Is said that
equality n privileges does not exist.
"It Is true that ill men nro oroated
equal politically, Iwt pnysieolly, man
'tally and morally, ind therefore social
ly, It is not true, lion are as near un
equal as animals. This Inequality can
not bo remedied 1 tho laws of man.
Enoh Individual must bo held responsi
ble for his own works. Individualism
stands for tho best progress and ad
vancomont. Socialism Is directly con
trary to all progress and the laws ot
nnturo. Deprive an individual of the
hope of profit and Industry and the In
oontlvo'to work Is tX a standstill.
"Failure Is not due so muoh to tho
present system ns to laziness, shlftloss
ness and wastefulness. Instead of
31,000 millionaires In tho United States
today, as stated by Thomas G. Shear
man, thoro nro only about 4,000. Only
5 per cent of tho property belongs to
mllllonailros, tho balnnco is ownod by
tho laboring mon and middle classes.
"The contention Is mnde that tho
many work and produce and tho few
appropriate and onjoy. In considering
this claim it must bo remembered that
it is a law of noituro that man must
work to live.
"Tho employing class today not only
hires labor, but advancos to labor ho

unless 'ho -works fpr hlmsei: In some

drod years ago. Wages are doublo and
treble what they wore tv century ago,
and prices of necessities have fallen.
This Increase of wages Is duo to some
factor and influence outside ithomselves.
This will bo found in tin brains and
notions of ablo mon, providing means
to Increase the earning power of labor.
"Every new maohlne may bo looked
upon as an animal of a now species,
which co-operates with man to increase
the production of wealth. Tho In
creased product Is tho work of the ma
ohlne, and tho brains that devised It.
Tho product Is divided between capital
and labor, and It Is found that while
I tho hours of labor have diminished, Its
share of tho product has Increased un
der the present industrial system about
50 per cent of tho rocolpts of labor to
doy." Mr. Rlohnrds showed by statistics
and llguros the bonellts which have
been received as a result of thoso now
Inventions. Sooiallsm, by removing the
lncontlvo to invention and suppressing
1 ambition, would have deprived the la
boring classos of their shaio in th's
Inoroased wealth.
The lnult In distribution today lies
not In tho systom. but In the Individual
The Individual is responsible for his
own condition. Tho systom has made
possible a uniform lncrense In wages.
Ability and capital are greater friends
10 labor today than are all the dema
gogues and agitators In the world.
"It may be true that labor has not
received its share of the lnoroa.se, But
labor must ask itsolf, how large a hnre
can it demand and receive without de
priving ability and capital of their re
wards, and decreasing tholr uio, to
their own consequent detriment?
"No Inexorable law, fixing man's con
dltlons Irrevocably, can sohe present
day problems. Th solution must be
leached through a recognition of tho
brotherhood of mnn.
"All attompts made to remedy social
evils and inequalities on soolUlsllc
mothods novo heretofore failed. The
correction must como from the rising
oducntlon and a recognition of tho cor
onation and dependence of all branches
of Industry upon each other.
"Laws cannot today be enforced sim
ply because public sentiment Is not be
hind thorn. For the samo reason tho
mothods of socialism would also fall."
Mr. Richards noxt reolted a long list
of laws that had been passed In he
Interests of tho laboring men. Our laws
first marked up 50 per cent

of the system, and can and should b
