COMMISSIONS OF A pRoNE.p
Joseph Medill Patterson Tells Why He
 Took Up Socialism.

From the Independent.
 The Independent has asked me for short economic autobiography. I comply about myself the type of the idle rich young man, not myself the individual.
 I have an income of between $1O,OO0 and $2O coo year I spend all of it. I produce nottingham doing no work I (the typeJ can keep on doing this all my life unless the present social system Is changed.
 My income doesn't descend upon me like mama from heaven. It can be traced. Some of it comes from the profits of a daily newspaper; some of it's comes from Chicago real estate; some from the profits made by the Pennsylvania and other rail roads; some from the profits of the United States Steel corporation; some from the profits of the American Tobacco com pany.
 As to Chicago real estate. didn't put 1t there. Some of it I have never seen. It came into possession of my family some years ago, when 1t was cheaper. People came to Chicago to work. and in propor- ton as their numbers increased the value of this real estate rose automatically. The people who came to Chicago to work caused the increase in value-but l get the benefit of it. There are people who
  not willing to do so. Thus we arrange that they shall work there and pay me an annual tribute for my permission.
 I know nothing whatever about rail- roads except how to read time table and to bless heaven for the eighteen hour train. Yet l get an annual income from railroads

 The work of the working people, and nothing else, produces the wealth which by some hocus-pocus arrangement Is transferred to me- leaving them bare. While they support me in splendid style, what do I do for them? Let the candid upholder of the present order answer, for I am not aware of doing anything for them. And the funny thing about t Is that these workingmen and farmers work hard all year round, while don't work at all

 That my life is so much completer than the lives of the workers who support mo has been excused on the ground that they are less "cultivated,' and therefore less fitted to enjoy things which please me. But that seems little like begging the question: Many of them are not as well educated, because they had to go to work as boys in the fields, the glass factories

Arabl Pasha Old and FriendIess.

From the Pall Mall Gazette.
 In little house up by street of the Mohammedan quarter, old friendless, broken lives the man who might have ruled Egypt
 If you ask twenty people in Cairo today "Where is Arabi Pasha?" fifteen will tell you that he Is dead. while the other five do not know. In fact, after the lombard ment of Alexandria he was sent to exile for life in Ceylon. but was allowed some four years ago to return to his native city.
 It was only after a weeks hard fer reting that I discovered through native journalist the whereabouts of the great man.
 Even now, in his seventieth year. he is a big man; in his prime he must have been immense. White hair and beard; broad, thoughtful forehead, surmounted by the Turkish tarboosh; kindly eyes, dulled little by age, but lighting up wonderfully when he talks about things which interest him: straight, powerful pose; 3 large mouth, which must once have been hard and cruel now softened by diversity. Though the day Is warm, he wears an overcoat. and he walks heav- fly on massive ebony stick.
