The Socialistic
Movement.
~~

"HINGS that have happened re-
Gently both in this country
and in Europe have set people
thinking and talking OH the
subject of socialism. Formerly social
ism was chiefly discussed as an aca-
demic proposition. Matters have now
reached a. stage in both the old world
and the new where it is discussed as
live issue. 1t has become a political
issue in England, Germany, France,
Russia and Italy. In the United States
It Is discussed now more as a sOciolog-
zeal than as a political problem. The
Socialist party in the United states
claims a voting strength Of about half
4 million, but this does not by any
means represent the extent OF the So
cialistic movement, because there are
q great many persons whose
views trend in this direction, but who
may not accept the programme of the
radical Socialists and therefore do not
identify themselves with the political
party which stands for the full social
ist scheme. The lectures on socialism
which the English economist, W. H..
Mallock, has been giving at Columbia
university have excited much debate.
It was his belief in socialism as a
remedy for social ills that prompted
Upton Sinclair to write 1.-THE Jungle"
and one of the sequels Of its success
was the establishment of the now ia
NOUS colony on %socialistic lines known
as Helicon Hall, which was recently
started under his leadership on the
Palisades Of the Hudson. The most
picturesque aspect of the Socialist
question in this country Mt the present
time is the number Of devOtees the
cult is obtaining among the rich.
Among the most prominent Of the so
called "millionaire Socialists of the
United States are j. Medill Patterson
Of Chicago. grandson Of the founder OF
the Chicago Tribune, and J. G. Phelps
Stokes, who married Rose Pastor,
graduate Of a cigar factory, whom he
met in the course Of settlement work.
MI. Stokes and his wife have been

THIRTY o BowLDER IN BUCKET.
dipper Of the dredge Beaver to obtain
a correct balance beneath one of the
giants frequently runs to hours.
The picture, showing a bowlder being
raised in the dredge's bucket, gives a
good idea Of the work. The bowlder
weighs about thirty tons and when
raised to the surface was found to be
lodged endways in the bucket and
damned so that it could not be re-
moved without considerable delay and
trouble. The bucket. it may be men,
toned, is six feet two inches in diam
eter and is nine feet two inches at its
deepest part.
But this bowlder was greatly exceed
ed by one measuring 1912 by II by ~
feet and weighing about ninety-two
tons, which was raised by the same
means. 1t was dug ut a depth Of sixty
feet below high water mark. The
dredge was then moved, with the stone
in the bucket, about $50 feet, when the
stone was deposited.

Of the board of directors of the Mex

latter capacity that Mr.. Pierce has re-
Gently been in the public eye. Attor-
ney General Hadley of Missouri in his
Standard Oil inquiry devoted consid-
cradle effort to showing that the Wa
ters-Pierce concern is a branch of the
big oil trust. 1t came out in the in
vestlgation into the charges against
Senator Bailey of Texas that MI.
Pierce had applied to Ex-Governor Da-
vid r. Francis of Missouri to recon-
mend a lawyer who should advise him
In respect to the operations Of the
Waters-P Pierce company in Texas. Mr..
Francis recommended Senator Bailey.
The latter claims that in rendering
services to Mr.. Pierce and his COM
pany he did not know he was dealing
with a branch of q monopoly. Mr..
Pierce has been indicted for perjury by
a Texas grand jury, the basis of the
charge being that he made an affidavit
In 1900 that the Waters-Pierce COM
pany was not owned Or controlled by
Standard Oil and that the companies
were not in any way connected. Gov
ernor Campbell of Texas has made a
requisition OH Governor Folk Of Mis-.
souri, for Pierce's return to the Lone
Star State for trial. The Pierce family

The exports to Japan during last

with 5000, 2s3 in February, 1906; to
the Chinese empire $1,855,5S2, as COM
pared with $2,994,215 in the same
month of last year. The statement
says that this decrease seems to be
due, in part at least, to falling off in
the general imports into that country,

is probably not SO great proportions
