an annual event Of note in Pine

pfoVaI OF the people of the city, re-
eardless of creed or occupation. There
is a general belief that the day should
be made one of such observance in
Pine Bluff that it would at tract to the
city hundreds of people on the birth
day CT the republic In letter to
Capt. J. ID. Miner, grand marshal of
Mgr. Lucey writes:
Capt. J. D. Miner, Pine Bluff, Ark.
Dear Sir: In response to your let
ter asking an expression of opinion
from me on the propriety Of celebrat-
ing in popular way the natal day of
the independence of the United States
| may say that il meets with my
hearty approval.
Patriotism like other great princi-
pies Of life needs to be cherished if
they are to be preserved One cause
OF the universal corruption that Is
manifesting its symptoms in so many
varieties and in so many states of cur
union, may be traced to the neglect
Of giving due honor and prominence
to the great principles on which Cur
republic rests High and noble ideals
Of citizenship must be continually pre-
sented to the popular mind if we are
to maintain the high standing among
the nations CT the world which the
wisdom of our forefathers planned
and which fate has extended in recent
years beyond cut natural boundaries.
There is no place so fitting tc lead
our peOple to realize the greatness of
citizenship as a popular assembly and
there is no time so propitiCus as the
anniversary Of the day when the
Declaration Of independence was CIV
en- forth to the world. In my opinion
It is we'll worth the time spent, to lay
aside for one day the ordinary bust
ness cares and give the sentimental
part of cur human nature a chance to
appear and act its role In fact busi-
ness would thrive more il sentimental
ity entered more into the work of life.
In regard to the idea CT making the
day an annual specially for Pine Bluff,
II is a good one; though I should fa-
vor the day as special one for cur
home people The people of Pine Bluff
need recreation as much as anything
else. The occasion should be so ar
ranged that all ages and classes OF
people could thoroughly, enjoy the
outing. Yours truly.

WHAT AMERICANS
SPEND ABROAD.

Every year Americans spend
abroad a constantly increasing sum
of money. says Henry G.. Nicholas in
Public Opinion.
Before leaving for Europe the tour
ist purchases a letter of credit cov-
ering the sum which he expects to
spend while abroad. These letters
Of credit are purchased mainly from
Wall street bankers. and give a
foundation TO work upon in estimat-
ing the amount of money annually
spent abroad on vacations. Experts
on foreign exchange agree that for
the last five years an average Of more
than 500, 100000 a year has been
spent by American tourists abroad.
Present indications are that fully 150,-
600 cabin passengers will cross the
Atlantic eastward this year, and the
cost CT the vacations of these 150,-
600 tourists will amount to not less
than S15O,OOO,O 900, or an average of
about 81 600 apiece.
Of this amount $37 100000 repre-.
sents passage money paid into the
treasures of the various steamship
lines This figure is based on an es-
innate daverage of $3.50 a round trip
for each cabin passenger. According
to well-informed steamship officials,
this estimate is, if anything. too con
servative Fully one-half of the pas
sengers crossing the Atlantic in the
way. while many pay many times
that amount The average, however,
would be about $3.50 for each cabin
passenger. or total Of $37 5000
for the 15O,0 600 passengers who will
90 to Europe this year. According to
foreign exchange experts, the aver
age tourist spends abroad three
times the cost of his round trip ticket
across the Atlantic. This would give
an average expenditure abroad per
tourist Of $3.50. which is declared to
be we'll within the mark. This would
indicate that the 100000 tourists will
go to Europe this summer will spend
abroad a total CT $112,500 900. Add
the passenger fares across the At
lantic and you will have grand to-
tai of $50, 100000, representing what
the annual European vacation OF
Uncle Sans citizens will cost this
country this year.
If this s150,Oo0,00O was kept at
home it would pay the entire expen-
ses of Greater New York for twelve
month and leave handsome surplus
remaining. It would purchase all OF
the seats on the New York Stock Elk
change at the highest price at which
a seat has ever sold, and leave bal
ance almost sufficient to move the
wheat crops of the nation from farm
TO market. 1t would be more than
sufficient to defray the pension list

grade. The only poor meeting and
the poorest of the trip was at Boze-
man, receipts did not half cover ex-

good impression with those who list
ened to him. Bozeman has got to
be Port Arthur ed by soap boxers
this summer.
The Chestnut meeting was a hum
mer.
Belgrade received its first but not
last visit from a Socialist speaker.
This stereopticon agitation will
become more popular as it is better
understood and it can be used with
effect for soap box talks.
We should aim to have two stere-

on the proposition to expropriate
the expropriators, the same ac-
cord is far from existing as to the
means to employ in reaching this
result" In other words Socialists
honestly differed on the PROPOSE
ton, as they can honestly do in
some others, without rightfully call
ing down upon themselves the
charge of abandoning the interests
of the workers as against the in
terests of all other classes. But
Nandervelde says this, that of all
forms of social liquidation, expro-
priation without indemnity, with the
resistance, the trouble, the bloody
disturbances, which it would not
fail to produce, would be in the end
the most costly" Let me quote
from Kautsky, who is regarded as
leading interpreter of Marx now
living, who says: There are num-
Der or reason which indicate that
proletarian regime will seek the
road of compensation, and payment
of the capitalists and landholders. !"
This he says as well as other
things to the same purpose. Now,
my advice to you, Comrade Walsh
would be to stop worshipping at the

little credence to the wisdom of
Marx, Engels and the other master
minds and founders Of scientific

For my part, ! do not see why
you should be puzzled upon the re-
marks that ! made some time ago
in regard to demanding the whole
thing" My idea is that as long as
you advocate the S-hour DAYS, in
creased wages and similar mediate
palatives, and lay stress upon these
points, YOU will not even get these:
by advocating the abolition of the
wage system, and guaranteeing to
the working class that if the Socia-
lists are elected their acts shall al
ways be measured from the prole-
tariat standpoint; standing solidly
for the complete over throw of the
present system, will give to the
workers all there immediate pala-
tiyes long before you usher in the
cooperative commonwealth. For
instance, in Montana, the Socialists
stood for the initiative and refe-
rendnm, not in particular, but with
other Socialist measures: the result
was both old parties, in two years,
saw the hob goblin" put it in
their platforms and at the last legis,
lature passed the law; in this state
the S-hour law history is similar,
! and also the child labor law.
Now as | understand the PROPOSE,
ton, should we elect 4 majority in
the next legislature, we would be
compelled to do the best that We
could; with the governor, possibly,
and for a certainty the courts in the
hands of the capitalists, we would
be up against it, " and it is a ques
ton whether it would be any
advance to Socilism or not. If yor
are familiar with the mushroom
growth of Socialism in Anaconda,
where we elected everything with q
whoop. and not class conscious votes
you know that reaction, through
the blue card system and Other
forces was the result Capitalism
will grant all the demands of tn,
Socialist party, save the one las
straw that will break the camel'i

toll to labor itself. That is where the
