American ~tocks Abroad.

In his weekly letter Henry CleWs
points to the increased foreign buying
of American stocks as an encouraging
factor in the situation. 1t is to be
hoped this will prove genuine and per-
manent. Europe is practically bare of
American stocks, while recent heavy
subscriptions to the Transvaal loan
demonstrate that now the war is over
funds are accumlating and must be
seeking investment. Nothing better
can be found than the higher class of
American railroads. which are better
financed. better managed and in all
respects stronger investments than in
the earlier days, when English and
Continental buyers took. our securities
without discrimination, much to their
subsequent regret and loss. Now con-
dtons have changed about; our best
railroad securities are among the SAT-
est investments offered in the worlds
markets: and they bring larger returns
than antiquated British railroad prop
critics which will have to be partially
reconstructed at enormous expense to
bring them up to modern standards.
American railroads were fortunate
enough to pass through this physical
reconstruction during prosperous
times. when such improvements could
be largely provided out of earnings
without impairing dividends. British
railroads will probably be obliged to
curtail dividends for this purpose, at Il
time when American dividends are as
surcd if not increased by the fact that
these improvements have been paid
for For such reasons American Sc
Curities ought to find renewed favor in
the foreign markets; and international
bankers are not likely to miss such an
opportunity. ssftEE

A Reaction. in Socialism.

For the past year or two the increase
in the Socialist vote at state and mu-
nicipal elections in various parts of the
country has aroused MUCH apprehen-
sion among conseryativeanen who have
seen in it a serious menace to our
country's future welfare. The So
cialistic sentiment which has been fos-
tered in the masses of Europe by OPP
pressive forms of monarchial govern
ment has been transplanted to Amer
lean soil and has been the excuse for
activity by ranting demagogues who
have abused the. privileges of free
speech and free press to propagate
dangerous doctrines often nothing
short of anarchistic. Working on the
visionary the impractical, the ignorant,
the vicious and the disseminated, they
have polled. votes which worried
thoughtful Americans whose eyes have
scanned the political and sociological
heavens. at.. -
A reassuring sign of a reaction
in the movement, however, and of a
return to reason among some of it's fol-
lowers has just been observed in Mas
sachusetts where it was particularly
strong at the last municipal elections.
Several prominent leaders, constant
workers in the cause, and consistent
apostles in public and private of it's
theories and claims, have withdrawn
give will have wide influence on others.
David Goldstein, recently the Socialist
candidate for mayor of Boston, and
one of the. leading members of the
party, is among these. His arraign-
ment of socialism is severe and scath-
ing, and comes from inside Observa-
ton and sober reasoning. What are
his charges? The disruption of the
family the disruption of the state, the
disruption of society, moral chaos and
atheism. No avowed enemy of social
ism has ever spoken so strongly against
it as this man who has been for years
it's avOWed friend. Mr.. GOldStein I'M
derstands Socialism, and sees that its
spirit is in direct opposition to The
American spirit of progress, justice
personal purity and individual OPP
portunity and responsibility. We can
not belisye i ba T. sosialspl-in this coVp
try is anything more than a passing
cloud. The American people are toe
sane and sensible and practical to be
fooled by its sophistries or inflamed
by it's hysterical rant. 49,

Hous Who Go Fishing.

Three or four We'll known Water
Vile citizens pulled their purses and

that at CobbosseeCOcltce for example,

trolling for perch, Knowing that the
law allows them a 1oopholc of escape

too bad that this sort of thing should
be done. for the capture of the fish

| heartily agree with Dora Morrell
in her idea advocated in Round About
Papers" that people should have a
change. In other words, get out occa-
sionally (and to my mind it should be

the Old, monotonous, everyday grind,
and bump up against new scenes, new
faces. new employment of both mind

even the memory of the usual daily aV-
ocation and customs to the winds.
How many men there are in Gardiner
today who never think of taking a va
cation. who seemingly think that if they
should leave their business or work for
a day or two the whole thing would
go plum to the dogs; who from long
habit and custom have got into an old
rut that they cannot dig themselves
out Of or VIII not if they can, and plod
along year after year in the same old
wearsome way and bye and bye will
step down and out forever, and close a
joyless unsatisfactory life. Change is
necessary not only for ones pleasure
and health but profit in every dlrec-
ton. The city resident goes into the
country, comes down into old Maine

noise and the general excitement incl

revels in the beautiful green fields, en-
joys the pleasures of our great lakes

the French Speed Madness.

With six persons killed outright and
wonder that even the French govern
ment was forced to put an end to that
great automobile contest over the high
ways frcm Paris to Madrid. The in
tercst in the race is shown by the fact
that 100000 people saw it's start, and
all the star chaffeurs of Europe were
engaged. The first stage of the race,
Versailles to Bordeaux, 343 miles was
covered by the leading machines at a
speed of over IS miles an hour was
reached at times. French highways
are good and French people know that
teams or pedestrians have no rights on
them when a devilwagon is in sight,
Ebut fatalities were bound to occur and
it is a wonder there were not many
more of them. Such a race was the
height of madness and even its start
would not be permitted in any other
country IMAM rIdHCe IneIc 10 '''iuc

ma iority of the fatalities We're among
those driving the machines, though two

tragedy, and the interference of the
government should have come sooner.
