The growth of socialism is one of tho
extraordinary political phenomena of
to-day. Some idea of the extent of
this growth is given by Mr.. G. A. Eng
land in The May number of the Amer
ucan Review of Reviews. according to
Whose figures the worlds Socialist
vote at present is between 100000
and 100000. The recent growth of
this party Is the most extraordinary
phase of the whole affair. In the
limited States the Socialist Labor party
tpolled only 3l,t61 votes in the pres
Eddential campaign of 1892. In 1904,
however. the Socialists polled A02,2S3,
being almost twice as many as the
iProhibitionists and nearly four times
las many as the Populists. 1t is also
noteworthy that whereas in 1892 only
six States cast any vote for the Social
FIST Labor party. in 1904 every State in
Ethe Union was represented at the polls
1.-The only State that polled less than
kl00 votes was South Carolina, which
twas credited with twenty-one votes
& Turning to Europe, we find an even
Fmore remarkable state of affairs. In
ETrance as late as 1885 there We're but
100000 Socialist votes, and the same
Enumber was registered in Germany in
t1s67. To-day there are lis Socialist
members of the French Chamber of
Deputies. and seventy-nine in the Ger
man Reichstag. AS late as 1895 there
lwere only 10000 Socialist votes in Aus
/ tria, against more than 100000 in
that empire to-day. In Great Britain
there were some $4,000 in 1905, with
fifty-five members in the House of
Commons, while in Germany there are
3,251.0 900 in this party, 100000 in
France. 100000 in Belgium and 100000
In Australia.
Mr.. England does not give any fig
lures for Russia but the fact that the
Socialists, Revolutionists and members
sof the Group of Toll have 1872 men,
ibers out of total of 495 delegates
pof the extent of this movement in the
Gears dominions. Socialism, like all
|great movements. has its own press
land its own followers. There are in
lGermany 1853 Socialistic newspapers,
fills in Austria, ninetytwo in Italy,
Etifty-three in Belgium, forty five in
sFrance, thirty-three in Sweden and
ttwenty-four in Denmark. The United

Mourning FOR Music.
Editor of The Times Dispatch.
Sir--1t lllnx In iiunlnnu "a ~,

Editor Of The s-Dispatch.
Sir,--1t may be useless to write this
article at such q late hour, but disap-
pontmcnt often finds relief in lameli-
tation. hoping thereby to have good
effect In the future. When the un-
welcome announcement was made that
we are to have no park concerts this
summer, our sorrow and disappolnt-
ment can hardly be described, as 1t Is
our second season OF such. Our hopes
est notch when suddenly they took an
awful tumble. Many OF us are lovers
or music, and when l see those de-
serted band-stnnds and vacant seats. I
feel as though l would like to drape
them In deepest mourning. All who
really appreciate fine music know that
1ardella Is king OF the band stand and
VIC want to sec him entllroned again.

unknown to this house. There was no

A Relative Writes in Memory O
Alma Tedder.

A Relative Writes in Memory of
Alma Tedder.
On Saturday morning, August s.,
1908, at o'clock the death angel
entered the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. w. Tedder and carried away
their bright and loving boy, Alma.
He was the third child and next old
est son.
He was just entering his eigh-
teenth year, and in the full bloom
of youth when an allwise Father
saw fit to take him home to glory.
Just before Alma departed this life
he called his loved ones to his bed
side, and, kissing each one, babe
them meet him in Heaven. He
begged them not to gr'eve for him,
for the way before him was bright.
and told them that it had always
been his desire to be the first to
leave his family, for he did not want
to be left to grieve for the others.
Servant of God, we'll done!
Rest from thy loved employ
The battle fought, the victory won.
Enter thy Masters JOY.
THE voice at sunrise came;
He started up to hear;
A mortal arrow pierced his frame,
He fell, but felt no fear"
To say that Alma was a good boy
very mildly expresses it. He was
thoughtful, kind hearted and true.
He numbered his friends by his ac-
quaintances, and whatever anyone's
faults might have been he was never
heard to utter an unkind word of
them. If he was ever in trouble no
one ever knew it, for when spoken
to he always had cheerful answer
ready. He was just as willing to
befriend a poor dog fallen by the
Wayside as he would have been a
nobleman that asked him for ia
vor.
Alma was sick eleven days, and
whatever pain he endured nobody
knows, for he was cheerful until the
end came He was just getting old
enough to be such help to his par
ents.
One loss at home! The charmed
circle broken! A dear face missed
day by day from it's accustomed
place, but one more in Heaven!
A COUSIN.
