Lake Michigan "Seiches." !"

New words constantly assail unfa-
niliar eyes and send them to the die
tionaries for enlightenment; new, not
as fresh minted but new to most
readers. Now we are told that Lake
Michigan had the "seiches' the other
day and its level rose several feet
along the west shore. Ordinarily it
would be called a tidal wave, but the
lakes have no tides. So to the worter-
with the "a" long, is only an extraor-
binary change in the level of lakes.
Thus does our vocabulary grow.

THE TENDENCY TO SOCIALISM

IL is Interesting TO notice tho crop
ping out or socialstic ideas in the
solutions which are proposed for tho
hardships imposed on the public by
the coal strikes. In 1902 President
Roosevelt proposed II tho strike was
not settled. that the government
take charge OF the coal mines and on
crate them for the benefit OF the PEG
pie. That is pure socialism In the
present agitation many papers are
advocating government ownership
and control OF coal mines Thoy ar
que: Coal belongs TO the people II
lies In tho ground 1t Is not a pro
duct In tho sense that wheat or corn
or potatoes are" Again: The gov
eminent does not sell its rivers and
water supplies. IL would not, prob
ably. even ii IL had power to do so,
sell concessions 10 private interests
for the uso OF the atmosphere. Now
coal was stored in the earth by n
bountiful creator FOR the use OF tho
people. and not for the benefit of
corporations" This is exactly the
argument against private ownership
OF any natural monopoly, whether IL
be air, or water. or land or coal. The
state secretary OF Massachusetts re
voked the license OF the largest coal
company In Boston because II ad-
vanced the price or coal in prospect
OF strike 81 ton. This again is
socialism. A member OF the Massa-
chusetts Legislature proposes coal
purchasing agency to distribute coal
to the people at cost price This al
SO Is socialism. Yet the papers and
people who propose these measures
are not anarchists nor nlhilists. They
are moved by n desire for the good
OF the people. The root idea at the
bottom of these suggestions is that
the gifts of God are for the benefit
OF the people, and should not be lin
tied and controlled by private own
ership Waterman.

In general. Then semi emancipated
woman Is much in evidence. And. for
many people, Europe offers attrac-
