The social functions of the convention
were distinctly smart and, therefore, de-
lighted the feminine hearts of all the
delegates. 1t was a large and distin-
guished company that occupied most OF
the best seats Tuesday night at the Man
haitian theater to see the Earl Of Paw
tucket,'' a diverting society play that did
not demand too close attention to the
stage. On Wednesday the luncheon was
held at Hotel Savoy, the banquet hall Of
which is considered by many, competent
judges the handsomest in New York. The
table Of the president and the guests Of
honor was long one, raised on a dias,
while the delegates sat in groups Of eight
at round tables. The souvenirs were me-
dals on buff and blue ribbons. There
were just enough Of the after dinner
speaking and there was much relished
Celtic tang in the speeches Of Miss
Sterling and Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady.
The latter spoke on 'Some Forgotten
Heroines Of the Revolution and re-
counted in his crisp manner Of treating
adventure some of the heroic deeds Of
women on the western border, where, the
speaker SdlQ, was really ueCSIIu1ueua the
issues Of the war.
He was followed by General Stewart L.
Woodford, who told briefly Of the Prison
Ship Martyrs as among THE Forgotten
Heroes who are now beginning to re-
ceiye proper recognition. All but $3,37a
of the $4,000 desired for the beautiful
| monument that 1t is proposed to erect
at Fort Green has been raised. OF this
amount 100000 has been appropriated

progressive people are earnestly dis
cussing the ways and means by which
the highways of the country may be
improved The greatest obstacle to
progress along this line appears to be
that, under existing laws and condi-
tions, no general movement is possible.
Everything depends on local effort and
local initiative. What is needed is ma
tional legislation which will stimulate
action in all sections and coordinate
local effort. At present those who have
given the matter most thought are in
favor of a national aid law similar to
the state aid law now in force in sew
eral states. Just what will be the solu-
ton of the problem cannot now be fore
seen, but this much appears certain,
that the era of road building on a large
scale is oawning and something of i'm
portance is going to be done in the inn
mediate future.

Face to Face With Socialism.

In Carroll d. Wright's decision as
umpire in the coal strike cases he up
holds the right of an employer to dis
charge an employe for cause or with
out cause and the right OF an emplO ye
to quit the service of his employer with
or without cause. There can be no
other rule to protect personal rights of
the utmost Importance.
Mr.. Wright says that ANY other view
of the case would result in compelling
men TO work for an employer when
they did not wish to, and thus enslave
them, when, on the other hand, ii would
compel employers to employ men
whether they had work for them CT not
and whether the men were incompetent
or not, and would thus stagnate bust
ness and work to the injury of all other
employees.
This practical application and Illus
tration of the workings Of state social
ism, toward which too many misguided
labor unionists are leaning, should have
salutary effect upon the inineworkers
at least who had a personal interest il
| this case.
| Ii employers can be compelled to hire
wol kingmen whose services they do moi
| need or want it follows necessarily thai

whether they desire employment CT not

has been demonstrated twice during
the past year in countries where the
labor movement has gone far on the
road to socialism.
In Belgium the state railway en-
ployes VINO sought to strike were forced
by the military arm of the government
to remain at wo-k, and in Australia,
where similar movement was in pro-
gress among the employees of the state
railways, parliament made abandon
ment of work criminal offense.
Most of the radicals in the American
trades union movement appear to have
only faint conception of the real lib
critics which the republic guarantees to
them There can be no one-sided so
cialism in this country. If employees
can be deprived of rights secured to
them by the constitution and the laws
employees themselves must soon fall I'M
der the same tyranny.
One of the most odious of all tyran-
Mise is socialism-Chicago Chronicle.

The Dowie Expedition.

| Some 1000 Zionites Gnstead of half
| that number. as previously announced)
are booked for the journey by rail from
Chicago to New York on October IA.
| The special trains will be striking ad-
vertisement for the enterprise of DIR. ="
| Dowie, each bearing streamers on
which the glory of his Messiahship will
be exalted in big letters for the Won
| dering crowds at the stations to read.
No misplaced and inconvient sense of
modesty is ever allowed to subdue the
emphasis of Dowie's ads and there
can be no popular doubt that he is the
whole thing.
The differences between this eastward
movement and that of the Ooxeyites
some years ago are noteworthy and sig
nificant. The kind of people who were
intended TO, and who actually did in
large part, make up the Coxey army
was the same as is in the Dowie col
| lection-decent, well-meaning, credu-
| lous persons who constitute q large pro-
| portion of the failures in life. They are
| inefficient as a rule through some de-
| feet of character. The Coxeyites strag-
gled, footsore and hungry, across sew
eral states. to meet the usual failure at
the end, having achieved nothing more
important than to scare the farmers on
the route into taking chickens and pigs
indoors as they passed. Dowie's ag
| gregation, on the other hand, will ride
| in fast trains, comfortably equipped for
their use, and will be assured of every
| reasonable care on the way and at the
close of the journey. If, as has been
said, they shall remain in the east. they
will have homes and work and what
ever necessity may demand provided
for them
The experience of Dowie shows that
q large part of the unfortunate who
have not the knack of getting along by
themselves may work to advantage I'M
der the management or absolute control
of a shrewd business man. Whether
| Dowie be q religious fanatic with a
travelling delusion or a thorough fraud,
he is evidently a smart business man
and good organizer. Some or most,
| if not all. of his followers brought
money into Zion, and he promptly took
charge of it. By industrial and other
Investments he has kept them busy:
losing sums now and then, but on the
whole getting into his own hands a
considerable amount of money. His be-
levers have not suffered for any neces-
saries, and apparently have been happy
under his severe and absolute rule
| Whatever may be the truth about
Dowie as a religious teacher, and what
| ever share of the profits of the
Zionite business enterprises he may
count as his own. he has demonstrated
that persons who are absurdly credu-
lous and far from successful when left
TO shift for themselves may be made
comfortable and contented when di-
| rected by an efficient boss
