Tenders recent publication devoted to the propo-
stlon OF socialism claims Rockefeller the advance
guard OF the on-coming reform and demands for
HIM sympathetic treatment among socialists. It is
wrong, says this pamphlet, to treat man who has
destroyed competition In great staple and thus
cleared the way for socialism to be looked down
upon and despised. Rockefeller should be appre-
clated by the social propagandists.
AS a matter Of fact, this is correct Rockefeller
has done more for socialism than all the longhaired
men and short-haired women who have preached it
from the curbs or addressed frowsy upstairs meet
ings in its behalf. Karl Marx years ago Hdscerned
in competition the germs Of monopoly He fore
told the coming of the trust Rockefeller, knowing
nothing about Karl Marx, brought the trust
with him.
But if the socialists hover about Rockefeller as
demonstration" whst should be Rockefeller's
feelings toward the socialists? Here is band Of
persons who totally approve Of his methods They
want competition destroyed; he has destroyed it.
Ihey want the individualism annihilated; he has
annlhlated it SO far oil is concerned On ethical
grounds they have crouch against him. Socialists
manage to subordinate ethics to the 1great evolu-

socialists have theory; Rockefeller has the demons

The Attraction of Actresses.

MRs. SARAH COWELI LIE MOYNE, herself
- actress, has given recently the reasons
why actresses attractive to some men than
other women They are, in short, that it is the bust
Of actresses to look their best dress their best
and talk their best in nine parts out of ten they
essay. The stage woman developes her showiest
qualities and naturally she attracts the attention Of
men who have no taste for anything but the ex-
terror =. II ,~Hr> l. = t-.~,'...I ST.
while this reasoning may be attacked as insuffi-
SCENT since there evidence offered that the act
ress is using her brains, her own taste in dress
or her own natural manner, yet the commentary of
Mrs LIE Moyne has this grain Of truth that the act
ress studies to please. It is good art off the
stage. It conveys to other women especially women
who have husbands to whom exterior attractions are
everything, that it is easier to hold such men and
save them by using the methods Of the actress than
by using others. Most men are not penetrating. A
good exterior impresses them and what they look
for and admire in other women they are quick to
note the absence Of in their wives. Once the idea
is formed that the wife ought to dress BETTER to
talk in more interesting manner the husband con-
siders himself ill used if his wife goes on dressing
plainly and treating him Gas one of the family .
The wife may be serenely unconscious that she of.
tends by plain dress plain manner. But nc
woman with man to manage has no business to be
serenely unconscious. She ought to be on the look
out for just such freaks of unreason in her husband
that she is familiar with in her children. ~
