The Parior Socialist
(Kansas City Journal-)

(hanSaS CiCy JOuTnal-)
Perhaps the "parlor socialist is not
a new species of clamoring disturber.
but attention is now directed to him
because of his innocuous activity
Within recent months such dilettanteS
in the gentle art of destruction as Jo-
seph Patterson, Robert Hunter and J
G. Phelps Stokes have met mighty is
sues and discussed terrible social cat
acylsms over their tea and bonbons-
The "parlor socialist" is distinctly diff
ferent from the ordinary scraSSy and
ill-kempt revolutionist who Er:lps
great quantities of stale beer in the
fetid atmosphere of some saloon back
room and fingers his bombs nervous
". Both kinds are enemies of society
but the former IS far less dangerous
because its members are not sincere
and down in their hearts they have no
desire for such a state Of society as
will compel them to become laborers-
San. Francisco was infested with So
cialists of all grades. from the gentle
"reforner" to the wildeyed anarchist
with red flag in one hand and a
torch in the other. Everybody was
crying for some sort Of destruction
the anarchists for destruction of every
form of acquired property, the re
formers for destruction of certain in
iouitouS institutions" 1t would be
interesting to know how these various
disturbers felt with San Francisco
mass of ruins and every man wo-
man and child upon an equality-the
equality OF misery, helplessness and
hunger tits an easy guess that the
.parIor reformersr were among the
first to tear their. hairSand give way

Democracy.

New York Times
In a recent number of The Outlook.
and under the title OF "EnS1and's
Stride Toward Democracy" Mr. sgd
ney Brooks makes distinction. COM
monty overlooked but very needful to
be borne in mind. between British and
American democracy. The political
decentralization of Great Britain is
going on very rapidly. and We are apt
to think the process one Of American
ization. But this is not at all the
case. for the reason. as Mr. Brooks
points out. that the British democracy
has a purely political connotation.
British society being essentially aris-
tocratic in its composition and pene-
trated with the spirit of caste" Other
Observers have expressed the same
thing by saying that the British be
lieve in Liberty" but not in the
Equality which to Americans seems
its necessary complement
Naturally. in such society the
force Of snobbery is very great and
its influence in politics has been none
the less for being indirect The IA
nous instance Of the Westminster
election which the Duchess Won by
kissing the butcher. might almost be
taken as an allegory of British poll
tics. The image of British society as
a "ladded'' is that of a British novel
ist. Henry Fielding. and the pervad-
ing British social ambition IS to mount
at least one runS. In politics this has
had several curious consequences. One
is that the demoSosue. the leader of
the people. when he has exceptionally
got into the House Of Commons. has
become the easy prey Of his social
"betters.' II they thought 1t worth
their while to conciliate him. and has
thus been led to betray the people
who elected him to represent them
Another. pointed out by Mr. Brooks.
is that the lower classes of the Brit
ish electorate have preferred to be
represented not by men Of their Own
kind, but by their betters- Thus the
British legislature has continued to
be an essentially aristocratic body in
spite of the successive engagements
of the franchise

hundreds OF cases in San Francisco.
and pictures one aspect Of the situa-
don there. Justice Shaw, Of the Cali
fornia Supreme court, hurried to San
Francisco upon receiving news of the
earthquake The apartments in which
his wife had been stopping were burn

streets.
For three days and nights he search

the parks. now on foot and now in
what vehicles he could obtain Once
he heard that She had been seen in
one of the parks. He vent there, but
could not find her. Sick at heart. he
hurried to Los Angeles for money and
clothing There the story ends. but
doubtless he has found his wife ere
now. To them will come as a compen-
Satioc closer and dearer tie, born OF
their grief and anxiety. In the same
way the suffering and terror will make
stronger the wedding bonds formed
within the glare of the burning city.

men TO whom they were betrothed-
