NEW FOE TO SOCIALISM
FRENCH BUSINESS MEN JOIN TO
BEAT RADICALS.
Organization Is Non-Political and
Formed for Defense of Com

PARIS, Jan. 18.-Two significant
events marking the growing determi-
nation of the conservative classes to
resist the encroachments of revolution
airy Socialism were observed here today.
The first is the initial meeting of the
Commercial Parliament" a body de-
signed to secure better representation of
commercial and industrial interests be-
fore the Legislature and generally to
combine the business men of France into
sort of non political parliament in the
defense of their common interests.
The chief aim of this parliament is to
meet the Socialists on their own ground
by promoting joint action between mas
tiers and men, thus preventing the press
TIRE for excessive state interference.
The second event is the appearance in
Paris today of a weekly paper called
Opinion, on the model of the London
Spectator. The purpose of this publica-
ton is to marshal conservative repub-
lican opinion of all shades against the
demands of collectivism, such as prema-
ture aspirations for disarmament, etc

classes. The prime movers in this move
ment are Paul Doumer, former president
of the Chamber of Deputies; ex-Premier

most hardened criminal abjectly bowls
for mercy.
When professor in the Sorbonne
stated this to his class the other day,
one of the students laughed iucredulous-
ly. and said it would take Il good deal
of that sort of thing TO affect him.
The professor assured him that even
one quart of water dropped slowly on to
his right hand would be beyond endur-
ance He agreed to experiment.
4 quart measure filled with water was
brought in, IL microscopic hole was bored
in the bottom, and the performance be-
gan, the professor counting.
During the first hundred the student
made airy remarks. With the second
hundred he began to look less cheerful,
then gradually all his talk died away,
and his face took on haggard, tortured
expression. With the third hundred the
hand began to swell and look red. The
pain increased TO torture. Finally the
skin broke.

heart failure at his home in this city
Sunday. The editor of The Press, a

In the spring of 1898 he was given the
portfolio of postmaster general in the
cabinet of President Mckinley, post
which he held through the period of the
Spanish-American war and through part
of President Roosevelt's administration
The practical establishment of rural
free delivery and the creation of the

ond wife being Miss Henrietta Nichols

home of her mother, Mrs. Washington
Romano Nichols, at EAberon, n. j., on

PURISTS NOT TO MEET
Unpleasant Notoriety Given as Cause
Papers 20 Be Edited at 1903
Conference

BATTLE CREEK. Mich, Jan. 20
Owing to notoriety incurred by some Of
the papers at the recent purity meeting
no conference will be held this year
and papers to be read at the next con
ference will have to be submitted in ad-
vance SO that all risk passages may be
stricken out.
LA CROSSE, Wis. ia. 20.-B s.
SteadwelI, president of the National
Purity conference, denied today that
there had been any agreement to censor
the papers submitted at the next purity
conference.
There has been discussion of the Ian
guage used i'll some of the papers read
az the La Crosse convention in 1906.
and the Battle Greek meeting in 1907,
nOn-memberS of the conference in at
tendance upon its sessions frequently
having been reported shocked by the
manner i'll which the topics were treated
Within the conference, however, the otli-
ce,S believe that the results of impurity
should be spoken of in such plain, blunt
terms as will arouse the public and
President Steadwell Will not be in favor
of Il censorship. Mr.. Steadwell further
stated that instead of abandoning the
conference for 1908 on account of the
language i'll the papers read at the Bat
tie Creek meeting, the agreement not
to hold Il national meeting this year was
que TO other causes. 1t is not likely
that 4 national meeting will be held
eftener than once i'll two years hereafter.
