growth of socialism. Wealth

A Crusade Against Flies.

There has recently been under
taken in Glasgow and Liverpoo! Il
crusade agains: house flies which
are now recognized as potent fac
tors in the spread Of typhoid fever,
and, perhaps, OK other diseases.
The suppression and destruction
of flies uecessitatcs a careful study
OF their life history, not only in
the summer months, bat during
the winter that the larya may be
DESTROYED and the annual crops
of yonng flies prevented. Further,
attention has been called TO the
fact that the wasp is the most ef,
feclive destroyer Of flies, and, on
that acconnt in the fly crusades,
the people are urged not to modest
wasp nests.
The attention of sanitarians to
the spread of disease by insects
doubtless arose from the discovery
of the spread of malaria by mos
quitoes, but at this time we know
that not only flies and mosquitoes,
but cockroaches and hedbugs have
spread disease.
1t has been shown that the house
fly can be the medium of trans
mission for anthrax, cholera. tub
ercuiosi. li'ariasis, certain intiam
matory eye affections, plague, ty-
phoid fever, intestinal parasites
and wound infections> 1t has
been suggested that the ily is also
a factor in the spread of smallpox
and various skin affections.

A Piedmont minister announces

A Piedmont minister announces
u sermon ON the subject: Social
ism; its Origin, Spirit, etc., VS..
the Teachings of Christ" The
Encyclopaedia Britannica, more
or less disinterested authority, be-
gins its definition of Socialism
with the statcnpnt that ''the ethics
of Christianity and Socialism are
identical" We are not sure
whether the minister alluded to
will take this view of the matter or
not.
We clip the above from the Pied
mont Banner. 1t does seem some
what singular that, where chris.
tianity us represented in 'the ideal
ism of Jesus Christ stands for the
true spirit of socialism, the chris
tian church, regardless of creed
and almost without exception,
should illuminate against the
spread of socialism rs antagoni site
to the teaching and spirit of chris
tianity. There is nothing in the
socialistic idea that conflicts with
the common brotherhood of man
that Christ was sent on earth to
bring about. Therefore we must
look elsewhere for the reason of
this opposition. The scriptures
tell us that it is easier for Il camel
to pass through needles eye than
it is for a rich man to enter into
the Kingdom of Heaven. While
this sentiment is occasionally dilat-
ed upon from the pulpit, it is an
argument that has no force against
those whom, it is intended to reach.
On the other hand it is continually
impressed upon the ''poor.and low

piness ON earth lest you leopard

Eight Hours.

Soon or late, somehow, some
time, by cordiality and concession
or by force, by amity and argu-
ment or by the resistless march
of opinion, the men who work for
wages in this country. in all trades,
are to be blessed with an eight
hour day.
The progress toward this end
had been slow, but steadfast.
Trade by trade obtains it. The
latest effort and the latest success
has been that of the job printers.
Years ago many laborers work

far in the past many mechanics in
the skilled trades worked 10 hours.
Some of these have cut their time
TO nine and now hope for eight.
The end is absolute. Before
not long all of us who work with
our hands will have the eight-hour
day, because}ihe irresistible trend ,

evitable, sets that way.

Olga Nethersole comes 20 the Ma
tional this week for her annual engage
ment. with a repertoire Of four plays
s'Sapho." THE Second Mrs. Tanqueray, -
''Camille," and 'Adrienne Lecouvreur."
She will give i've performances OF ''Sa-
pho" which she considers one OF the
best plays Of her extensive repertoire
Long before she produced II in New
York, in 1899, she had conceived the idea
or playing "Sapho" in a drama made
from Daudet's familiar novel. The book
had lain undisturbed in libraries and
book stores for years. 1t was admit
tedly a classic in literature Yet when
Il was first announced that Miss Neither
sole would appear in ''SaphOs" a storm
developed which eliminated when she
finally produced Clyde Fitch's adaDta-
ton OF the novel. THE Second Mrs.
Tanqueray " Pinero wrote for Miss Meth
ersole when she was a member Of John
Hare's stock company at the Garrick
Theater, London. But owing 10 an IN
expected change of bin at the Garrick
Theater the producing of The Second
Mrs. Tanqueray" was delayed many
months. and consequently Miss Neither
sole was deprived OF the privilege Of
first appearing in IL. Camille was one
of Miss NethersOle's earliest successes
''Adrienne LecOuvreur" is the novelty
OF the repertoire. 1t is Miss Neither
s6le's own adaptation OF Scribe's great
play. and IL tells the brilliantly tragic
love story of Nile. Adrienne Lecouv-
Ieur's professional life. Olga Neither
sole had contemplated appearing as Adri-
enae LeCOuVreur for some time. There
ave several English versions OF the
play in existence. but none of them
suited her requirements SO she recently
wrote from the original French text a
