Duty to the Convict.

From Everybodys.
1t does not need any argument to con-

Militarism and Socialists.
From the Spectator.

One cannot understand continental So
cialism at all without considering 1t along
side the great military systems of conscrip-
ton. The extreme socialist in France as
in Germany, Is generally a moro or less
active anti-militarist. In England strikes
are not incidentally a political attack upon
the army, because we enjoy a voluntary
system, which the widest fanatic can hard
ly bring himself to represent as an anti
social tyranny imposed upon him against
his viii and his conscience. Further. as we
have the good fortune to live in an island,
we are not conscious Of bayonets pointed
within speaking distance and are recognize
ably human beings rather like ourselves.
On the continent socialists are supremacy
conscious OF these things.

Venezuela.
From the Reader.


Venezuela Is old Spain. the Spain Of
Washington Irving eighty years ago. She
has as much beauty, her people have
the same Andalusian charm, and year for
year since the time of Columbus she
can show as much romance as intricate
diplomacy and as primitive inns as ex-
listed beyond tht Pyrenees before guide
books were bound in red.
But the proper way to see Venezuela Is
not through a guide book. supposing
there were one or to limit ones days to
a circular tour in which everything is
reckoned by the dollar: the spirit of the
land must be found before its genius can
be understood. Kipling's refrain Of
somewhere east of Suez" can be para
phrased into somewhere south of Hat
t'ras;" then the American, like his British
cousin, will be able to feel the clutch Of
tropic life, and the romance of 1t will
not be modernized into comic opera
