SOCIALISM A SOCIAL THEORY.
prof. ii. c. Adams Lecture of the School
of Applied Ethics Course.

Prof. ii. c. Adams Lecture of the School
of Applied Ethics Course.
The second lecture by Prof H. c. Adams,
of the Columbian University, yesterday in
the course OF the School of Applied Ethics
was on Socialism as q social theory"
Prof. Adams said that socialism may be
Regarded as a protest against the En-
glish system of political economy. This
English economy finds its expression in the
writings of Adam Smith, David Richards,
and John Stuart Mil. The latter, how
ever, often breaks over the bounds laid
down by himself. Socialism is a crit
cism of this school. 1t denies, first OF all,
lis fundamental idea, namely, that compe-
tition has done what its advocates claim.
The socialists we're not content with the
protest that competition is not beneYo-
lent force, but they set up counter theory
that il is a malevolent force. They say
that competition is the source of all evils.
The scholar must admit that competition
VIII work advantageously, or other
wise. according to the conditions under
which it works. There are now two schools,
the socialist and the new individualist.
| These differ as to the adjustment OF society
/ under which it may progress. They can
not agree as TO what environments OF So
Ciety produce the best results.
SociallsJic economy is more successful
| in its attacks on certain features of our
| English system. If capital is private
| power the public has no control over it, but
| II il is a social force the public has rights
/ as to it's management.
The socialist claims that political liberty
| does not guarantee industrial liberty. The
| English economist asserts that each man is
the maker of his fortune. The socialist
says that this is not so under present con-
ditions: that il is first a necessity that the
worker possess industrial property.
| Competitors should enjoy equal strategic
| conditions for competition to be success
| full The socialist asserts that something
more than political liberty and the right to
acquire property is necessary to industrial
| freedom. The worker must possess indus
| trial property. This is the aim of co-opera
ton. to make the worker proprietor.
The socialist, however, says that CO.
| operation is a mere palliative, and that in
dustrial liberty cannot come under the pres
ent regime. The thing to do is to indus
| trialiZe the state.

Health of the City.

The high death rate, as the reports to the
health department for the last week show ,
still continues. How great was the influ-
ence of the extreme wintry weather of last
month is indicated by the number of deaths
from lung diseases. There were twenty
one deaths from consumption and twenty
four from pneumonia, fifty seven in all out
Of total OF 13S. The almost total absence
of mortality from contagious diseases is
a noticeable feature of the weeks hygienic

THINGS TO REMEMBER.

WATER may be softened by the addi-
ton of rock ammonia or q little pow.
dered boraX.
PEOPLE who are obliged TO walk or
stand about muc': will find they get
less tired If they change their boots Or
shoes several times : day.
On no account keep the soiled linep
bag in the sleeping department, for it
is very unhealthy and tends to faint
the air which is inhaled during the
night.
RED cannot be recommended on &C.
count Of its washing qualities, as it is
very apt to fade. TO prevent this add
a little borax to the washing water
and the color will retain its usual
brightness.
To UTILIZE ordinary dripping is not
at all difficult in a wcll-rcgulated
household, but bacon fat is often vast
ed. 1t should not be, however, for it is
most handy for basting poultry of
every description.
Doors and furniture easily become
ingey-marked. Try rubbing them with
chamois leather moiSte,led with cold
water, and then polisA with a mixture
composed of two parts sweet oil and
n part turpentine.
INK stains and iron rust are easily re-
moved by rubbing with salts of demon
and dipping the material in hot water
alternately, until the marks have dis
appeared. A solution of salt Or sorrcl
in hot water is another favorite recipe
for that purpose.
Flannel should be chosen for it's
strong selvedge, fine and ven texture,
and the short hairs on it's surface. Low
priced flannel is not cheap, for it is
probably made with old wool and
largely composed Of cotton, which rem
dcrs it harsh and tends to make it
shrink considerably.

Women have vartlbus degrees of lik-
ing fer the fumes of tobacco smoke.
To some it is utterly reprehensible;
others have a certain tolerance for it,

they either like it, that they are really

Of women were to be truthful about
the matter men would find, /
think, that they have only a cer'
tain educated tolerance for it,
based upon the knowledge that the
men of their hearts and homes
like to smoke, and SO they put
up with it as well as they can. In
short, women tolerate tobacco smoke,
for the most part, because they feel
they have to. AS 4 matter of fact the
fumes of any cigar, no matter how
good the brand. can be nothing else
than in%stinctly distasteful to the sensi-

have q charming way of hiding their
feelings in this matter, but the feeling
is there just the same. All things be-
ing equal, that is, if the average wife
knew her husband would be just as
happy and contented without smoking
as with it, fancy she would prefer him
without the smoking.
This being so, and it only admits OF
q fancied denial, it becomes men to
regulate their smoking in the home.

The Deacon and the Elder.

You mought light out this mornin on

you three days of hard ridin TO find two
men that think they have got as much
religion as Deacon Joiner and Elder
Newton make out like they have got.
To hear the Deacon talk and the Elder
shout you would think they ought to
take wings right now and fly away from
this vain and deeting world.
And yet the Deacon and the Elder
have been mad and at outs for years and
years. It takes their level blandest
to speak when they meet in The big
road. No longer than last Sunday some
body called OF Deacon Joiner 70 lead in
