The secondary elections which took
place in Belgium yesterday are interest
ing on account of the struggle between
socialism and clericalism. Belgium has
had long and bitter struggle over her
public school system. The liberal party,
which has been the champion of the
public schools. found itself in such q
position that many Of it's mem bers felt
1t their duty to throw their votes to the
clerical candidates, in order to prevent
Il triumph of the socialists. But the
clericals in two years have used the pow
er in such way that many liberals. in
order to throw off the domination of the
priests, determined to vote for the social
ist candidates. For week many lead
ing liberal journals have been arguing
that socialism was preferable to the
reactionary policy Of the olericals.

It seems that the sending of the cruiser

sells from the squadron for such purposes,
it being the belief of naval men that the

MIR. Arthur Sewall's record and views
are in some respect ridiculo lsly out OF
harmony with the platform on which he
has been nominated. An Eastern
capitalist, intimately connected with
railway and banking corporations, a pro-
tectionist and a bitter opponent of an in
come tax, he belongs conspicuously to
the very classes which the Socialistic
convention at Chicago declared itself in
favor of despoiling. In one sense, how
ever, his nomination is q fitting one.
