A bright good woman asked the fol- lowing question: Do you think that a man should give his weekly salary to his wife, If she is a good woman and eco nomicalIy inclined, or do you think, re- gardless of her feelings, he should sting fly deal money out to her every day for her actual needs, spending what is left over for beer and tobacco, with noth- ing in the bank for a rainy day?
 We are just on the eve of an intensely interesting and exciting election, the re- suit of which is awaited with the most profound interest by every citizen in Bir- mingham, but to the propounder of the above question, there are matters of far more importance than this election. Whether the white banner floats trium- phantly over the great Birmingham dis trict. or the i'll smelling fumes of old sour mash pervade the atmosphere Of the district, this woman will still be fac ing the paramount issue"-what dispo- sition shall her husband make of his weekly salary?
 This is a cold-blooded, practical is- sue, that comes infinitely closer to this Birmingham housewife than does any question of politics, science or philosophy No doubt she voices the thoughts and , feelings of thousands of wives through Tout our prosperous land.
 This busy, bustling little bundle of nerves speaks of her feelings" It might not be amiss to remind her that her husband has feelings which are deserv- ing of consideration, just as much as her own.
 Answering this important question, Must the husband hand over his earn ings to a good wife?' No, not necessarily, even though she is thoroughly anti septicated, sterilzed financier
 If it is humiliating for the good little wife to be forced to go to her generous, but thoughtless husband for every penny, dime or dollar she may happen to want, it must be doubly humiating to the great big important husband to call on the wife for every little bit he may need and have to account for that little bit. Now if it was a deed to a valuable piece of property, or a substantial check with which to engage in business the liege lord wanted, that would be altogether a different proposition, but to bring him self to ask for pittance he will never humiliate himself to that degree. Never! nay, verify.
 There is a better way than for either to play the role of cashier
 The husband and wife know about what the weekly expenses are, the house rent the grocery bill gas bill, etc, and they know what the weekly income is Know ing that, the rest is as clear as the noon day sun.
 for the household expenses the next thing is to decide the amount that shall be put in the bank--a matter of great import ance, and which should by no means be overlooked
 After the expense money and the money for 'the rainy day. are set aside, there will remain, let us assume, certain resi- due which we will agree to call the in cidental fund"
 The women may call it pin money" the men might call it more coarsely beer money"
 Now this residue should be equally di- vided between the couple. If there are

Who Are the Socialists? :?

William Hard, in The Reader for Sep
 tember.
 The modern "scientific' socialist is something of fatalist. He is something of an evolutionist. He believes, from his study of human history, that certain things are more or less inevitable. The socialists are the Presbyterians of poli- tics. They believe that the world is predestined to socialism.
 Manifestly, then, socialism is study much more complex than is implied in the oouplet:
 What is socialist? One who is willing To give you his penny and pocket your
 shilling.
 It is difficult to imagine that the Count ess of Warwick, who is strong social ist, is animated by an ambition to ex- change her penny for the shilling of her grocer Young MT. Phelps-Stokes of New York may be equally exonerated from any such charge. And, as a matter of fact, the people who are most in need of shil- lngs do not seem to flock to the sociai- ist party. Socialists are found among cigarmakers more than among teamsters, among typesetters more than among com mon laborers The slums do not produce socialists. They are produced mainly iil the upper stratum of the working class and in the lower stratum of the captal- istic class Socialism is not the voice of the debased element of society. It Is the voice of an element which at least has leisure and intelligence enough to study and to adopt rather intricate philosophy of politics and economies. Socialism claims to be the philosophy of the work ing class. And in a vital way 1t is. But from thtl working class. and it is nourished to- day not by the most exhausted victims Of capitalism, but by men and women who are well enough off to have time to think. or. at any rate, to think that they arc thinking
