fell down, the glass breaking and a
fragment nearly an inch wide was
driven into the hand between the
thumb and forefinger, severing the
main artery and causing the blood to
flow freely. The teacher, Miss Cant,
manifested considerable surgical skill
by pressing the thumb over the
wound, thus making it a compress and
checking the flow of blood until the
sufferer could be served by physi-

ent action by governmental owner
ship and governmental regulation.
Shall the sphere of the state be en-
larged and that of the individual con-
tracted, or shall the sphere of the in
dividual be enlarged and that OF the
state restricted? These are the ques-
tions raised by Socialism and which
must be answered by the statesmen OF
the immediate future.
State Socialism is the attempt to
equalize incomes by means OF nation
alizing industries. Socialism is plant
of recent growth and lis mainly in
digenous to the soil OF continental
Europe. 1t dates back to only 1s17
and its history divides itself into two
periods 1917 to 1850 and from
1850 to the present time. 1t claims to
be the legitimate child of two great
revolutions -- the English industrial
revolution of the latter part OF last
century and parallel revolution in
thought which found expression in
France during the period succeeding
the battle of Waterloo. Robert Owen
represented the first and Saint Simon
and Fourier were the product of the
latter. Owen was the author of the
" Factory Acts" legislation and estab-
lished industrial communities in which
cooperation took the place of free
competition. His scheme attracted
much attention at first, but when he
denominated religion the family and
private property as the "Trinity OF
Evil'' his influence was broken. Saint
Simon sought to destroy the last ves-
tige OF Feudalism, Catholicism and
privilege bequeatned by the Middle
Ages. Fourier was the author OF the
Phalanges which were similar to the
industrial communities of Owen. Next

surrender or curtail it for the general
good; but the example of the people,
limiting, by their own free will, the
exercise of their own power, was
without precedent at the date OF the
adoption of the Constitution and has
not been successfully put in opera
ton in any other country since. The
Constitution of England is very simi-
lar to ours in many respects, but there
is this essential distinction-that Par
lament can change the English Con-
stitution at any time, and as a matter
of fact is changing it constantly by a
mere majority vote. Whereas, with
US Congress has no power to change
the Constitution in the slightest re-
spect. If Congress should attempt
such thing, or pass any measure in
conflict with the Constitution, the Act
would be declared a nullity by the
Supreme Court as soon as the ques-
ton came up before that body. In
England there is no Supreme Court
TO pass upon and set aside the Acts of
Parliament, for the Acts of Parlia-
ment to a very large extent make up
the English Constitution. In the Eng
lish system Parliament is supreme;
with US the Constitution is supreme,
Our Legislature cannot violate it, nor
our executives OF Judiciary disregard
its provisions; and the State govern
ments are likewise controlled by It.
1t is the central sun around which re-
wolves our entire system Of govern
ments, both National and State.

its origin and find out something Oh

HARBOR sCAVENGERS.

The Army of Sen Gulls That HOvers
About When IL Fishing Fleet Arrives.
From the Boston Evening Transcript.
Filling the air with their weird, plaintive
cries, now soaring aloft, now swooping sud
denly down within an inch Of the white
capped waves to snatch dainty morsel
from anothers beak, the strong winged,
gray-breasted scavengers of the harbor ply
their trade. To the stolid fisherman who
Las braved the danger OF the Banks
through many a wild gale, the sight Of
this army of sea gulls which hovers and
brawls and feasts about the waters In the
vicinity of wharf when the fishing feet
comes In, has little attraction and no
novelty but to the occasional visitor to the
wharf 1t Is a delight.
There was a chill of rain In the south
west wind that blew half a gale over the
water front yesterday noon. A score OF
feet fishermen tugged at their hawsers.
while the swarthy crews busted themselves
repairing and batting travis and gears,
washing down and cleaning ship In prep
aration for another trip to the fishing
grounds Huge baskets Of broken ice. fish
remnants. and general refuge were dumped
overheard into the dock and fioated out
with the receding tide. Overhead circled
hundreds and hundreds OF keen-eyed gulls
ready to dash down into the waves for
some cnOfC6 tlQDlt tNS AOAOo VI ZIG
fishermen.
Many people were gathered on the end of
the wharf watching the evolutions of the
graceful birds as they fought over the
pieces of fish or meat or rode the crests of
the breaking waves. A deep-laden cattle
steamer ploughed her way from the East
Boston docks, two little fussy tugs putting
alongside, and rolled down the harbor on
the long ground swell. Several hundred
gulls pursued her far down the harbor in
the hope that some choice morsel would
find its way from her decks.
When the full fishing feet Is at the wharf
thousands of gulls gather about the end Of
the dock. Some Of the small boys who
bangle legs and a fish line over the edge in
the expectation of catching smelt or two
amuse themselves by throwing far out into
the water two large pieces Of fish tied to-
gether by stout string. A short. sharp
battle Is sure to follow. The voracions
birds do not stop at swallowing a bit Of
rope, and II gull reaches each end Of the
string at the same time there Is a great
fiutterlng, splashing and crying. Besides
providing an amusement for the idlers at
the docks these wild birds do q great serv-
Ice to the public. They are the natural
scavengers Of the harbor and pounce upon
everything edible and devour It with an
omniyoroIs appetite Were II not for the
gulls the vicinity OF the ash wharfs would
reek with the notsam and jetram Of the
fishing vessels and warehouses.
