Democracy in Britain.

Mr.. Sydney Brooks's discussion in
The Outlook" of what he aptly terms
England's stride toward democracy is
an exceptionally Illuminating and sug-
gestive consideration of that which
we have ourselves regarded as the
most important feature of the recent
general election in. the United King
dom, namely, the returning to parlia-
ment of Labor party of fifty MEM
bers who are represent and the
majority of whom are pledged to act
with entire independence of the two
great and historic parties. It ia OBJ
vious that the advent of such a party
has much political significance. A
new force has arisen which in its
present dimensions cannot be ignored,
and which will almost certainly in
crease.> and which may increase to
dominant proportions. 1t is even with

perhaps not to be numbered among
improbabilities. that the measurable
future will see British cabinets no
longer homogeneous. but habitually
formed of coalitions representative of
various parties. as is the case in more
than one Continental capital.
Still more significant. however. in
Mr.. Brooks's view. is the social phase

Flower Gardens.

Mandan Pioneer: This is the seed
ing period OF the year. Farmers Cow
to reap a bountiful harvest of grain
The good housewife sows seed to reap
blossoms. Everyone with front or
back yard should convert at least a
part of it to flower bed. This is Il
fad this year and the eastern whole
sale merchants generally report a
greater sale of seed than during any
previous year. The cause of this un-
usual sale in the cities like Chicago
are traceable to the Identification of
the back yards. These f1owerbeds,
trailing vines and creepers conceal
bad spots, ugly alley fences and soften
harsh places.
In commenting on the identifying
effect of the flower bed, one has said
that it is always wonder why more
people do not convert their yards or
lawns during the summer months into
miniature paradises, with buds and
blooms and perfumes of an old-fash-
toned garden. 1t would only REQUIRE
a healthy amount of exertion to keen

the planting and tending should not
be left to the servants either. That

milady is concerned. Let the garden
be the creation Of her own hands, and
the blooms tribute to her own care.
Beauty was never married by touch
of the sunlight and breath of the
out-of-doors, and there is no picture
more charming than milady in sun
bonnet out among the flowers. Who
that has seen such pictures struck
from the brush of the artist without
thinking the situation charming?
There is something marve1ously
cool, refreshing and poetic in the
creeping vines clinging to the prosy
fence the porch post and the house,
and when all this is set off with plant
lined walks and thickly-planted beds
of flowers, the picture is complete.

The Evolution of the Dnhlin.

No one who has admired the glow
ing colors of the dahlia can fail to be
interested in the story of the change
from most embarrassing daisy-lile
flower to the splendid blossom which
it now is, like it's near relative, the
chrysanthemum, and many other "flor-
lists sewers" In 1854 Vincent Ger
vantes. director of the Botanical Gar
den Of the city of Mexico, sents to
Cavanilles, the director of the Madrid
Botanical Garden, plant unknown to
botanists. 1t was a tall, spindly af-
fair, with nodding little flowers, each
of which had a yellow central disk
surrounded by five or six red or
orange petals. Cavanilles called it
dahlia, in honor of the recently de-
ceased botanist, Dahl. But when the
plant went to Germany, where the
name dahlia had already been given
to another plant. the botanist Wilde.
now conferred upon the newcomer the
name of Georgina, by which name it
has been universally known in Ger

name was given not in honor of George
III. of England. as has been commonly
assumed, but of Russian explorer

Bonpland brought back quantity of
seed on their return from Mexico.
The facility with which the color of
the flowers could be varied attracted
the attention OF florists and gardeners.
This interest was increased in 1908
when the first double dahlia was pro-
duced. Then arose a keen rivalry in
the production of new varieties of form
and color among the English and Ger
man florists. Prizes amounting to
hundreds of dollars were offered for
the finest new sorts. In Germany as
recently as the '70's So or 81 was
sometimes paid for the flower The
English florists took the lead in the
development Of the dahlia until about

Hodge has loved a Gentleman. There

for parliamentary representatives who

wealth, Of family connections and of
high social standing. It is in its
indication of revolution in that re-
spect that Mr.. Brooks regards the
election of these fifty "Laborites" as
most significant.
For now hundreds Of thousands Of
British workingmen have deliberately
and definitely broken with the tradi-
tons of the past, and have sent to
st. Stephens as their parliamentary
representatives men of their own num-
Der and of their own social rank. The
house of commons is no longer to be

of those things which have hiterto
been SO characteristic of British public
life-the elegance, the ease. the leisure,
the social distinction, the convention

the house to do things, to make of the

and politics in general that fact will
have much influence. but Mr.. Brooks

to a true democracy from the social

view.
Nor should we overlook the interest
ing distinction which he draws be-
tween the United Kingdom and the
United States. The former, as we have
already cited, he describes as more
of a political than a social democracy.
This country, on the other hand, APP
pears to him more of a social than a
political democracy. With that dis
tinction we shall not quarrel. In
deed, it seems to US scarcely less just
than it is ingenious. What is also in

that-while he does not attempt to
analyze or to describe the processes
now at work in this country, a matter
alien to his present essay-he evident
ly regards America as moving toward
a truer and greater degree of democ-
racy in politics, so that the two coun-
tries are coverging upon precisely the
same goal. from almost Numerically
opposite starting points. If that judg-

and profit to observe by which of

A Religious Maenate.

There are the coal magnates and oil
magnates, railroad magnates, steam
ship magnates. gas magnates and pork
magnates and in Dowie, we finally
have the religious magnate.
1t is only five years ago that Dowie,
comparatively unknown, declared on
the prairie, near Chicago, he would

toxicating liquors and an absence of
several other evils that most cities
have to struggle against. He made
his word good and Zion City today
represents an investment of over
$20,0O0,000.
Most of the world has considered
Dowie a fraud, many have believed
him to be insane. Measured by some
standards he may be both, but he has
won success, the success that comes
to self confidence that in its inten-
sity reaches to genius.
The first Elijah was prophet, the
second an hereditary priest. Dowe
claims to be the third Elijah and both
a priest and ruler. He believes that,
by the morganatic marriage of his
mother, he is the descendant of an
earthly king and, in his pulpit COM
mentary, the passage, "If you will it,
this is Elijah which was to come" is
cited as referring to him.
His reign, however, has been cut
short and he had to turn to the de-
spised lawyers and the courts. But
his effort is not to win back his king
ship, he is still Elijah, what he seeks
is his money or rather the money he
claims as his, and his temporal power.
God and Mammon, the love Of riches
and the kingdom Of heaven are no
more compatible in this twentieth
century, than in the ages past. No
religion, based on wealth and earthly
possessions, has ever won converts
and held them. In nature, in art, in
literature, in religion, it is always the
simple that is strong. 1t is so in men.
1t was Dowie's simplicity, his di-
rectness, his plain and rugged force
fulness that won his following When
wealth poured in upon him and he
lapsed into luxury and ornate living,
he fell and with him will fall his sect.
This is inevitable in all religions.
