ever was time when the world

That shows that the world is
thinking more with its brains and
less with its gastric apparatus than
it used TO. The discomfort of to-
day is of an intellectual sort. It

directed, as monopoly is The occa-
sion of American discomfort. They
are related evils, however; each
operates to take away from the
real producers of wealth heir fair
share of the product; and it is for
this fair division of the product of
toll that the masses every where are
struggling nowadays. On the whole.
too, the masses have a much more
intelligent idea of what they are
after than they have usually had.
There isn't so much concern about
the form of government now as
there used to be, but there is more
concern about its operations. The
square deal idea is in a great MANY
minds.
France, in its own way, is finding
fault with the same conditions as
those to which other peoples are
objecting. Party lines in America
were never so loose; radicaIism is
abroad. In England the municipal
trading business Is growing; and
municipal trading is socialism in
practice; Germany has socialism in
propaganda; it hasn't got SO far as
the practice yet. but they have made
the socialist party the strongest in
the empire. The immediate pro-
gram of the German socialists. in
deed, is moderate. But it looks TO
ending militarism and restoring
something like equality of oppor-
tunity, which is Juss what we talk
so much about in this country. and
what English socialism in practice
is trying to get at. Italy, Austria.
and Belgium are all in the midst of
similar POlitico-economic struggles.
France is only a symptom-a
symptom of healthy condition.
though it might develop a local dis
order, not unlike a case OF varioloid.

Was Ii " MObbing. -

Defenders of Maxim GorIlv's
course in bringing a mistress to
this country and swearing to the
customs officials that she was his
wife are naturally more or less nu-
merous, and most of them unim-
portant. But when a champion like
Frank H. Giddings, who has been
for some time and is now. so far as
we know, professor of sociology at
Columbia, arises to denounce the
American people for showing its
dislike of the Gorlxy scheme, he is
worth a moments attention.
In the current number of the In
dependent, under the title, THE So
cial Lynching of Gorky and An
dreieva," Prof. Giddings says:
In the long annals of mans inhu-
manity to man there are few chapters
likely to be more interesting TO the
investigator Of social psychology than
this episode Of tne moral n,obbirI ~
Gorky and Andreieva In almost every

possibly know. il might be an ordinary

acute observer viii discover it.
All of which is mere assertion" ,"
for a fact. The truth was well
known; dispatches from Russia es-
tablished in few hours that Gorl1v /
had not been divorced from his wife. /
Cool reason" could not have ar
rived at any other conclusion than
that Gorky had committed an Of
fense which rendered him liable to
deportation by the United States.
and had continued to commit an Of
fense contrary to the statutes Of
New York.
i, If Prof. Giddings likes that sort
of thing in a hero, that's just the
sort of thing he likes. The Ameri-
can public does not like it. We
may be Pharisaical in the matter.
but not even a Columbia professor
can persuade us to regard Gorky as
a martyr in this particular instance.
