ALL SOCIALISM MUST FAIL SAYS TAFT

Ex-President Denounces Community Plan As It Destroys Motive For Human Endeavor. Monday was Owen day on ths program of the New Harmony centennial, in honor of the second founder of the community, but in reality it was Taft day. The presence of the former president drew -the largest attendance of the celebration, estimated at more than 3,000. In the morning after the arrival of Mr. Taft, Charles W. Fairbanks, Richard Fairbanks and Merrill Moore, Indianapolis, a public reception was held, in which for more than an hour people filed by the former president and greeted him. .. In his speech, Mr. Taft said: “This town probably is the most famous of places in the United States where the exponents of socialistic and community ideas tried to prove the practical value of their theories. The most notable experiment at New Harmony, that of Robert Owen, failed. The plan was based on the assumption* that man was a different being from what he is. If he were so perfect' jthat his love of human kind would banish from everyone inUrqman form selfishness and retain, in him the same energy, self-sacrifice and industry in behalf of * others that he now pifmifests' in behalf of himself and those hear ,to him, then there would be noueed for the organization of a socialistic community, because we wduld have' it ait hand. Until men are'perfect beings of this kind, socialism must either const!tute a tyranny so rigid as to destroy not only the right of liberty and to interfere with the pursuit of happiness; or it must bea failure. “The Rappites were all successful lot years in the simple methods of manufacture and agriculture, to which their members devoted themselves. They are not example useful for the sociological student In eonsidering present day socialism, because their members had not before them the working out of a new plan for society and social progress, but rather a method of living a satisfactory religious community existence "In the intensity of their religious motive was found a spur to industry and self-sacrifice and a substitute for the institution of private property which such communities abolished. Until other forma of socialism find such a substitute, they are likely to prove futile as the history of several instances of practical trials has demonstrated.”

The examinations are being ‘ held this week tor the other grades, while the seniors have practically completed their work.

LOWELL TO BE OUR NEXT SUNDAY RIVALS

Our Oldest Athletic Opponents Are to Furnish the Program at Riverside Park. Lowell is to be here next Sunday to play the Athletics. Rensselaer had three good games with Lowell last year, winning two and losing ona Shurte, who pitched for the Lowell team, proved one of the greatest enigmas of last season. He is going good this year and held Momenee to two hits two weeks ago. Lowell always has a good ball team and Rensselaer turns out in large numbers to welcome them. ■' 5

Some changes in the line-up are possible for next Sunday. There never has been an occasion when fans took greater interest in the welfare of the home team and suggestions are as thick as molasses in midiwinter. The management wants to develop the strongest team possible and the interest of the public is appreciated. The first visiting day for the Athletics is Sunday, June 28th, when we play Goodland. It is hoped to have all the weak spots closed up by that time. ’Captaty Wilcox is arranging foi two practices a week from this time on and hopes to have his team in the best possible condition for succeeding games. Fans will >be interested in the outcome of last Sunday games in other places. •• * . Ockley, a small town where the baseball fever runs high, defeated Delphi by the sooire of 2 to o.' The Flora-Bringhurst team defeated the strong Logansport Ottos by the score of 1 to 0. Delphi plays the Ottos at Logansport next Sunday. Wheatfleld was defeated 5 to 3 on their home grounds by Hebron last Sunday. The game was neek and neck until near the end of the contest. It was some game, reports Alex. Jensen, who was down Monday.

Democrats Boosting the Progressive Conventions.

Indianapolis, Ind., June B.—The announcement that Tom Taggaft, who with Crawford Fairbanks, the Terre Haute brewer, enjoys the distinction of managing the democratic party in Indiana, would soon leave for Ireland for a four months visit, created a panic in the ranks of the democratic state machine, the state candidates and their active personal supporters. The activity of republican workers in all sections of Indiana has caused the democratic politicians to come to the conclusion that they, have the hardest kind of a fight on their hands this year to defeat the republican state ticket since the progressive party of Indiana has all but disappeared. The storm that went up over the report that Taggart wofild leave Indiana and would pot be active in the democratic campaign was such that Taggart was forced to change his plans and announce that he would make, a visit to the old country “some time,” leaving the impression that he would not leave Indiana for an extended stay during this campaign. There are ample indications that Taggart, Fairbanks and their associates are beginning to realize that the bull moose vote in Indiana will be so small this year that It will not be of any material assistance to them In their effort to carry the state for the democrats. It Is understood that because of the light attendance at the eonvenventions that have been called by the professional bull moose politicians, word has gone out from democratic state headquarters to democratic workers in each county to see to it that a large number of democrats attend these bun moose meetings in order that the report may be sent out that the meetings were large and enthusiastic. (Reports from these meetings indicate that the most active and the most enthuSiastis promoters of these meetings are democratic machine workers. '

HUERTA RECALLS BLOCKADE ORDER

War Cloud Raises When Dictator Decides Not to Interfere With Landing of Vessels. The latest development in the Mexican situation came late Monday night, when the mediators announced that they will make pub lie today aU correspondence that Ims passed between them and General Carranza or his agents. It is understood the mediators fed they have allowed a long enough time to General Carranza to make reply .to the note which they dispatched last Tuesday to Rafael Zubara, constitutionalist representative in Washington. With the making public of the correspondence which has passed between the mediator® and General Carranza, including part of that from Washington before the opening of the conference, it is declared that the South American diplomats personally are inclined to look on their efforts to have the constitutionalists Bend delegates as at an end. They will consider the incident closed unless General Carranza in his answer should agree to an armistice. General Huerta’s action Monday, suspending the order to blockade Tampico against the delivery of ammunition by the steamer AntiHa to the constitutionalists, served to dispel apprehension over a hew crisis between the United States and the Huerta government, which had threatened mediation of Mexican affairs. „ Rear Admiral Badger cabled the navy department late Monday that the Mexican federal gunboats Bravo and Zaragoza left Tampico for Puerto Mexieo at 4 o’clock Monday afternoon. Though Washington officials expressed satisfaction over Huerta’s action, it was suggested outside of official circles that the blockade had been suspended only conditionally, as a result of conferences between the South American mediators and the Mexican and America® delegates at Niagara Falls and that the Antilla’s cargo of arms might not be delivered at Tampico at this time. It was said the Antilla might be diverted in her course, through an agreement with officials of the Ward line, her owners, an American corporation. From no official source cOuld confirmation be procured of the report that Huerta had an understanding with the mediators or the United States, whieh would assure that the cargo would not be delivered.

If the United States did not so construe the cessation of hostilities, which it was assumed would be held inviolate, the mediators am said to have wanted to know whether this government would consider it a breach of faith, should Huerta’s gunboats attempt to stop the Antill&’s cargo of ammunition (or Carranza’s forces. The Mexican gunboats, followed from Puerto Mexico by the American cruiser Taeoma and the gunboat Sacramento, reached Tampico shortly after 8 o’clock Monday. Admiral Badger reported the arrival to the navy department, but he did not state whether the gunboat commanders had been apprised of the suspension order. The Mexican boats were anchored in the Fanuco river some distance from Tampico and Admiral Mayo, in command of the American naval forces there, conferred with their commanders. Conditions on the west coast of Mexico arc dally becoming worse, according to Admiral Howard’s report to the navy department. Not only is there heavy fighting at Santiago and San Anita, Lower Californla/jbut Mazatian is nearly starved out and Internal dissensions are imminent. Admiral Howard has sent the Annapolis to Santa Rosalia Lower California to complete a chain of wireless communication, in view of the uncertainty of the cables.
