ARISTOCRATIC SOCIALISTS.

All who are studying socialism are not "wild
and visionary" people. Many highy.educat-
ed, cultured people have taken up the question,
and are studying all its details, with view to
informing themselves and improving the condi-
ton of humanity.
Some of the most aristocratic women OF the
staid old city of Philadelphia, weared of the
empty social round, finding teas bore and
dancing classes without interest, believing the
t-eadmill OF the idle rich more ignominious
than the treadmil of the laboring poor, have
turned toward socialism.
Philadelphia is the most conservative city in
the United States, aud 70 get into her elmer
circle" of society, one must be "blue-blood"
must have a generation or two of "some-
bodies" behind him. MI. Moneybags can't
get in unless he has long pedigree. Yet,
from the bluest blood these wo.pen have come.
And they are not "Christian Scientists" nor
any other kind of Socialists with long prefix.
They are Socialists, pure and simple, using the
word with as large an S as Philadelphia uses
for Society.
Among these women are Miss Caroline Penn.
berton, who ranks high in the literary world,
and whose ancestry dates back to an carly day;
Miss Iunes Forbes, from the heart of society,
whose kin in the South belong to the F. F. VS.,
and whose family is one of the foremost in
the getty OF Brotherly Love-; Miss Molly
Wister, equally prominent and influential;
Mrs. Rudolph Blankenburg, fearless and in
dependent woman of society, and Miss Laura
c. Plat, a woman of great wealth and high
position. These are only few of the men,
beers of this society of ladies who have taken
up the study Of Sociology-there are many
others.
And this is not mere clad" with them.
They are earnestly endeavoring to solve the
problem that is occupying the attention of the
laboring classes and those who would improve
the condition of the masses.
Some of the most learned men of the world
are giving much time to the solution of this
problem. The masses of the wage-earners
have many powerful men and women on their
side, and the number is constantly growing.
Socialism is growing growing rapidly-anG
its realization is no dream, but certainty

Future Belongs
to the Socialists

The correspondent from Rome, Italy, to the
Globe. Democrat of recent date, speaking of the
Socialist movement in Europe, writes: "The
future belongs to the Socialists. Every day
helps the Socialist parties. Public education,
the movement of history, electonal rights,
popular sovereignty the rule of economic
prices, the predominance of industry and COM
merce-everything works for their inevitable
triumph. That is the basis of future civiliza-
tion." Everybody but the wilfully or stupidity
blind sees it. No power on earth can stop its
growth. Those who fight it only help it. 1t
will be one continual triumphal march from
now on.-Appeal to Reason.

Socialists Keen Things Warm In Wichita.


President Thomas F. Will, of the American
Socialist College, has just returned from lee
ture tour through southeastern Kansas and
western Missouri President Will had large
and enthusiastic audiences at most of the places
at which he was billed to speak. One of his
best meetings was at Joplin, Mo-, where he
debated the question with the Joplin Demo-
cratic representative in the Missouri Legislature.
As an indication of the success of the Demo.
cratic representative, the fact that the local
Democratic paper gave him no notice at all,
but gave President Will very complimentary
notice, is sufficient evidence that their man had
bitten off little more than he could chew.
Harry Ladder, the "boy orator." spoke on
the street of Wichita last Saturday afternoon,
to large and appreciative audience. This
week, he lectures three days at Freeport and
three at Argonia, and has been invited to de.
liver an address at picnic at Udall. Comrade
Ladder has been taking instruction from Presi-
dent Will, of the American Socialist College,
for several months, and his work is an indica.
ton of the value of systematic training.
Mr.. Leander Miller has been talking to the
farmers on Saturday afternoons, on the streets
of Wichita, but has recently gone to Attica,
where he expects to do some effective work.
Mr.. Miller was formerly Populist, but for the
past few years, he has been doing some very
effective work for Socialism. He believes that
a man should stand for principle, and that the
working class should quit fighting for halfway
measures. .et
DR.. Granville Lowther spent last week at
Caldwell, where he delivered number of lee
lures. While there, he was challenged by
lawyer of that town to debate the question on
Saturday night. When the time for the debate
arrived, his opponent did not put in an appear
ance. We are OF the opinion the fellow found
out it is deeper question than he thought it
was before he began looking into it.
The Wichita comrades are going to have
meetings every Saturday night, on the streets
Meetings have been addressed by Comrades
Barrett, Williams and Ross. Next Saturday
night, Comrade Ross, of the American Social
list College, and Comrade Crest, OF the Wichita
Socialist local, will hold down the soap.box.
Comrade Snyder, formerly pupil in the
American Socialist College, is now deputy state
organizer, and is having good success in the
northern part Of the state. He is hustler,
and would rather discuss Socialism any time
than eat his brea kfast.
The Sunday afternoon meetings in Garfield
Hall, where DR. Lowther delivers weekly ad.
dress, are becoming more popular than ever
When whole families--fathers, mothers and
cnildren-come out to these meetings every
Sunday afternoon during the hot weather, they
must be interested.

slips back, but each slip only serves to
make him that much more cautious the
next time. At last he stands on more
level ground. He has reached the eleva
ton OF success, and the once faint star OF
ambition now throws radiant bright
ness over him, while the glasses OF the
universe are pointed at him, and nc
hears the applause of those who have
preceded him to the high elevation
But is it for this that he has toiled ano
struggled onward and upward? No;the
short rest upon the level of success but
afforded him a breathing spell before
resuming the journey. Such a mar
never stops.
Each time you go down, just SD much
more surely indicates that you will rise
to a higher level than before. Our life

harder you throw it down, the higher ii
will rebound. Don't throw it in the
weeds.
That's right, you old grump: get mad
There comes that man Jolly, who skin
ned" you in that little business deal yor
had with him the other day. Now, don't
speak to him when you pass; just look
the other way; perhaps he will feel the
cut and give you chance to get even,
just to relieve his smarting conscience.
Perhaps not. Ofcourse, you'll not treat
anyone else like you do Jolly. He'e the
only one you're mad at but, oh, you're
mad at him! Youget to wondering how
you'll get even. and you grow nervous
and cross at home. You don't sleep as
we'll as before, and you hurry through
your meals and get dyspeptic. But
what of that? You can't afford to apol
ogize to Jolly. Humph ugh, that would
mt do. You are cranky with everybody
who comes within a radius OF his ac-
quaintance You have no friends, and
YOU are veritable Jim Dumps. Just go
ahead; keep getting madden, and don't
entertain the thought of getting in a
good humor. Finally, you die. That's
good The world is better off without
YOU. You are lump of grit in the axle
grease of the universe,

so many women suffer make life daily

that men do not suffer from these severe

womanly cause for them?
