Mr. Simpson is an enthusiast for Socialism in the alktract. He likes the sound oi the word and its rela- ted terms “coâ€"operative commonâ€" wealth." “government control,” and "public ownership”: but of the de- tails of the subject or of Socialism as a practical business proposition he apparently knows very littleâ€"â€" which was unfortunate, for there is a good deal of interest in some Soâ€" cialist questions in this town at prest-nt. and an able speaker would have don» good. On Saturday night he spoke in favor of government control of railâ€" ways and other public utilities. He said there was a difference between government ownership and public ownership, but failed to tell what it was. If any more railways were to be bmilt. the government should build them. Money and land enoâ€" ugh had lie-n given to railway cor- porations in Canada to build the railw-ays. If the government had used tln-se gifts to build the roads, the prOperty Would belong to, and increase the credit of, the country. The Niagara Falls power should belong to the people. It had partly got into the control of private Cor- porations. Mr. Simpson had seen windmills working. and been im- presst-d with the fact that the wind did not Cost anything. Water po- wers should be just as free for they" forces that belong properly to all the people. The post oilim-s and public school were examples of government control. People who worked and let others get the ln‘llt'lit. of their labor were likened lo the farmtr's mill-3 that worked 2t years for a bare living. and then diedâ€"or as Mr. Simpson put it. in the characteristic worn} nss of the Socialist orator. this mule "Shook off this life, and ceased to exist. eith'r here or anywhere elSe.” When remind. ll of his ancew tor's diligence, an idle ollsiiring of this mule had responded that his father was not a mule: he was a jackass. So the Workman of today did not propose to work hard all life for a bare living, as his father had done. Departmental stores were said to show how the means work natural of production could be brought un-‘ der one management. ‘V‘Socti'aliism” concluded the speakr ('1‘ ”is like the avalanche which gaâ€" thers force as it travels; it is like the shadow on the dial which steadâ€" moves though it seems not to move: it is the tide breaking on the strongest bulwarks man can build." ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON On Sunday afternoon a. still smal- ler than the. Saturday night audie- nce met in the Academy to hear Mr. Simpson discuss “Christianity and Socialism.” He said these two aimed at the same good for man- kind; but Christianity advocated the slow process of individual re- generation. while Socialism sought to change conditions; yet both workâ€" ed in harmony. The best heathen teacher'sâ€"Aristotle, Plato. Ciceroâ€" had advocated slaVel'y. Cicero had said that if one slave comlnitted murder it was better that a dozen should he killed to make sure of his being punished, than that the one culprit should escape punishment.~ Coming again to government own- ership, Mr. Simpson said that if necessary. arms should. be used agaâ€" inst Capitalists and their possess- ions wrested from them as were the: slaves from their owners. He did not. belie‘re that would be neCessary-; he hoped it would not. There was th: Way of the law. Legislation Could be. adopted depriving capital- ists of their propertyâ€"railways. mineS. etc. That would be honest, just as it was honest totake the ily but, he speaks in a; l - monotonous f called tor ovc good for man who COLLINGWOOD’S LIGHT IS PAYING ITS WAY ' . ceased and Mrs. (Rev.‘) . d ' of Over mu m are ,3: mg: population of ’ ‘ His death was all the more sad be- t of [cause his mother had been and son an {is very ill.
