The Age of Hurry

There is no backwater to which this
tmpetuous tide of hurry has not pene-
trated. and if we try to find one where
in we may lie in punt on pink cush-
ions under a tree we are certain to be
made restless by the long single hoot
of q fussy steam launch or the short
double one of tearing motor car and
instead of lying still we jump up and
cry: "Oh, wait for me and take me.
I'm in a fearful hurry to get there
and do it with you" And when we
are taken in and have recovered our
breath and are we'll on our way there
20 do it, we remember to ask where
we are bound for and what we are 60
ing to do!-A Countess in London Out

Held Bible and Rudder.

Some years ago Japan was neither SO
free nor so friendly with other nations
as she is today. In those old days,
when a foreign ship entered the Japa-
nese ports, the captain was obliged TO
place his Bible and rudder in charge
of the chief officer of the port and
leave them there until he was ready
to sail. OF course he wouldn't sail
without either, and the Japs could
easily keep tabs on the movements or
all ships in their harbors.

For the first time aerial navigation
has passed from the realm Of science
into that Of sport. The New York
Motor club, which was organized last
week, decided after a hot controversy
to include in the purposes Of the club
the promotion Of motoring in the air
as well as on land and water. This
official recognition Of air motoring was
based largely on the success of the
Baldwin airship at the worlds fair
and the division of 100000 in prizes
among the various airship inventors.

Federation Against Socialism.

Federation Against Socialism.
On several different questions efforts
were made to commit the American
Federation Of Labor in some degree to
the principles of socialism during the
sessions of the convention at San Fran
CISCO. An exciting debate, in which
President Gompers and John Mitchell
were charged with being traitors to the
cause Of labor, was started by the reso-
luton of Victor Berger urging all un-
ions to study economic conditions in
view of the wealth concentrate
which makes obvious the doom Of cap
italism. This resolution was adopted
after cutting out the vital part refer
ring to wealth concentration. The dis
cussion and the vote showed that the
socialistic element in the federation
was stronger than heretofore The
convention voted down also motion
favoring the Swiss system Of militia,
under which every man bears arms,
but keeps his gun at home. Likewise
measure proposed by the socialists to
pension all workers after the age of
sixty was defeated.
