"HINGS that have happened re-
Gently both in this country
and in Europe have set people
thinking and talking on the
subject of socialism. Formerly social
ism was chiefly discussed as an aca-
lcnlic proposition. Matters have now
reached stage In both the old world
and the new where it Is discussed as
a live issue. 1t has become political
issue in England. Germany, France,
RussiD and Italy. In the United states
it is discussed now more as sociolog-
ical than as political problem. The
Socialist party in the United States
claims q voting strength of about half
a million. but this does not by any
means represent the extent Of the so
cialistic movement. because there are
a great many persons whose economic
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
list scheme. The lectures on socialism
which the English economist, W. ii.
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 "The Jungle
and one of the sequels of its success
was the establishment of the now fa-
nous colony on socialistc lines known
as Hclicon Hall, which was recently
started under his leadership on the
Palisades of sthe Hudson. The most
picturesque aspect of the Socialist
question in this country ut the present
time Is the number of deyotees the
cult Is obtaining among the rich.
Among the most prominent of the so
called millionaire Socialists of the
United States are j. Mcdill Patterson
Of Chicago, grandson of the founder OF
the Chicago Tribune, and j. G. Phelps
Stokes. who married Rose Pastor,
graduate of n cigar factory. whom he
met in the course OF settlement work.

WHITNEY WILL be
FIRST DEPUTY

Judge Whitney is to be the First
Deputy Attorney General and Frank
Andrade will go from the Office of
prosecuting attorney in the District
Court to the Magistrates, bench TO
succeed Judge Whitney. These are the
appointments to be made, although the
appreciation of the Republican Central
Committee is to be asked for before
the appointments are officially an
nounced. What would happen in the
event of the appreciation being with
held is problematical.
Attorney General Hemenway has not
yet announced any appointment to the
position of Second Deputy. 1t was
reported yesterday that the position
had been offered to W. w. Thayer. If
it has and he should accept, the Cen
tral Committee win probably not be
called upon.
