You will note the above increase, and

STR0Y INDIVIDUALITY
Socialist Writer Gets Inspiration
From Logic of Benjamin
Franklin.
Sees Much Real Good in Leisure
Time to Be Received Under
New Order.

Mrs. Lydia G. Wentworth, writing
in st. Louis Labor, calls attention to
the fact that BENJAMIN Franklin real.
lied that leisure time to think, live
and develop real individuality was
possible even in his Gay. And that
the reason there was so much misery,
squalor, ignorance and poverty was
because so many of the toilers were
in non-productive labor. She says:
Last January was celebrated the two
hundredth birthday anniversary of one
of the greatest philosophers, philan-
thropists and statesmen who ever be-
slowed benefits upon his fellow-men-

speeches given in his honor, and in
magazine articles, to see If a refer
ence had been made by any speaker
or writer to a remarkable statement
made by the great philosopher In one
of his Papers on General Politics."
but I failed to find any mention Of It,
The statement to which l allude, one
Of the most profound thoughts Frank
line ever expressed, is:
1T has been computed by some
political arithmetician that If every
man and woman would work for four
hours each day on something useful,
that labor would produce sufficient to
procure all the necessaries and COM
forts of life, want and misery would
be banished out of the world, and the
rest of the twenty-four hours might
be leisure and pleasure"
That was a wonderful idea for any,
one to have thought in those times,
even though the spirit of equality was
at work in the minds and hearts of
men, struggling to make herself un-
derstood.
Franklin goes on to say: What oc-
casions, then, so much want and mis-
ery?" It is the employment Of men
and women in works that produce
neither the necessaries or conven-
fences of life, who with three hours
work day, your pay would be large

sufficient to control them or to regu-
late them. They. must be absolutely
and totally destroyed. Corporations
should be controlled and regulated, but
private monoplies must be exterminat-
ed, root and branch. Now, you may
call that radical doctrine, and yet 1t
is more conservative to apply this rem
edy now than to wait until predatory
wealth has by it's iawlessness brought
odium on legitimate accumula tions.
What used to be called radical is now
called conservative, because the people
have been investigating. The doctrine
has not changed. but public sentiment

each other like beasts under a system

from HarperS BaZar:
When the three-year- child doffs
his infant skirts he dons a Russian
blouse suit. This consists Of bloom
er trousers, full in the seat and leg
and gathered into a band below the
knee, and a blouse made in one piece,
long enough to reach from the neck
to just above the knee, pleated, and
belted at the waist. Some times the
belt is Of leather, some times Of the
same material as the suit. It never
fastens tightly, but droops to a point
in front in the mode made familiar
a couple of years ago by the extremists
in the straight-front, long wasted ef-
fects.
Although the general style of these
suits is practically the same the ma
terials as we'll as the minor details
leave room for variety. The suits
for dressy wear are usually white
pique or duck-all white or trimmed
occasionally with narrow bands Of
blue or red, or adorned with buttons.

ment," but nothing must be allowed
to detract from the severity of the
style. Any garniture is in the shape
of simple pipings of the color pre-
ferred, and buttons are big pearl af-
