Socialism Viewed from Below.

I spent week at Islesboro dur
ing the summer" said a Phiadel-
phian. 1T is a little place, a little
mountainous island in a great bay;
and it has another finer name than
lslesboro-the name of Dark Harbor.
Il met at Dark Harbor young Wal
dorf Aston He had a cottage there,
and nearly every day he used to take
a swim with me in the lake at the foot
OF the hill that the hotel stands on.
It is q small lake to swim in, but
mighty fashionable one. You should
see, at the bathing hour, the motor
cars and the saddle horses drawn up
on the bank.
"One day a crowd of bathers got in
to an argument on Socialism. The ar
gument, as it continued. grew hotter
and hotter. Just as a young Boston
millionaire and a New York brokers'
son were on the point of quarreling Sc
riously, Astor said:
The trouble with most Socialists
is that they look on Socialism as
taking away from others and a giving
to themselves. They like and under
stand that part of Socialism. The idea
that they, too, might have to give up
something never occurs to them.

New York Cab Drivers.

A driver has to have a license! That
mysterious official. the mayors mar
shall. grants one upon the payment of
twenty-five cents and two written tes-
timonials of honesty. A man may
come out of Sing Sing, whittier he has
been sent for highway robbery or
stoning the minister's cat or any other
crime: If he presents two greasy let
ters-one of any Jones and the other
of any Smith-stating that he is an
honest fellow. he will get a license.
No inquiry is made. His references
are never looked up. Indeed, if you
are a desperate crimfnal-guilty of
murder or failure to pay alimony-you
can do no better than take out a
license and hide on top of a cab. So,
into the business drifts all sorts and
conditions of rogues. Under the aegis
of the law (the aegis being a twenty
five cent badge) they rob you. and me.

LAW ENFORCEMENT.

The Gazette, which has spoken its
mind about Governor Hoch, cannot but
believe that he is allowing himself to
appear in a false light before the peo-
pie of Kansas. The people of Kansas
know what Governor Hoch's record is,
and they feel instinctively that he is
behind the present thoroughly commen-
dable movement for law enforcement
all over Kansas. They believe that the
Ed Hoch they expected to show up In
Topeka two years ago, is now doing
bus.ress at the old stand, and they don't
like to see Kim ducking. 1t is all right
to go after the Joint-infected cities. 1t
is thing to be proud of. It does not
discredit Attorney General Coleman for
the governor to declare to the people
his interest and sympathy in this fine
movement Every good citizen, wheth-
er he is in office or out of office should
back up Attorney General Coleman. He
is doing the best thing that has been
done in Kansas FOR dozen years, and
his motives should not be discredited
and his action discounted. He is dong
his plain duty, and doing it we'll All
Kansas should back him up. And as

The Value Of Salt.-Half a teaspoon
full of common table salt dissolved in a
little cold water will instantly relieve

these lions was his greatest delight. and
on one solemn occasion, when he and
his mother were receiving a delegation
of dignitaries, he slipped off the throne
and bestrode one of them In the midst

he refused to do. Being admonished
that his eminent visitors might not ap-

he did not ask them to come and that
they might go any time they liked. His
respect for his mother was then appeal.

off the lion quietly, returned to the
gilded chair by her side, and, placing
his hand In hers, remained there until

The First to See the Mtlxndo

Admiral Lord Charles Beresford
claims the distinction of being one of
the first Europeans allowed, by invi-
tation, to gaze on the face Of the MI
kado Of Japan. This was in 1868. In
that year Lord Charles was gazetted
to the Galatea, which, with the Duke
Of Edinburgh on board, made an ex-
tensive tour. Among the places visited
by the ship was Japan, where the
British Prince was invited by the EN-
peror TO visit him at his palace "Thus,"
says Lord Charles Beresford, I'VE were
the first Europeans to see the Mikado,
and we should have been cut down In
the streets by the Japs II we had not
been guarded by thirty or forty sol.
diers."
