THE rALLACY OF SOCIALISM.

There is a general desire on the
part of all that there should come to
pass as speedily as possible distri-
button Of the good things of life, in
some way that shall give each and
every one a fair share of them.
The present industrial system has
produced many evils and that the
present relations CT the employer and
the employed, the capitalist and the
laborcr, especially whore large bodies
of mon and women work for concerns
of immense wealth, are open to severe
Indictment is self evident to all
thoughtful men
Among the remedies for these admit
ted wrongs, socialism comes to the
front and demands a hearing Its
claims are at present pressed with
great vigor, plausibility and earnest
ness and many honest people search
ing in sincerity for light and truth are
attracted by it as a cure for our social
and political ills.
What is socialism? There is I'M
doubtedly a great deal of loose talk
about it and wide difference of opin-
ion as TO it's correct definition. So
cialism, as We understand it, is an
attempt to supplant individual initta-
tive and enterprise by placing all in

Some time ago there appeared q
somewhat curious book, 1.-THE Auto
biography Of Thief In Thieves Lan-
guage." A. glossary is provided for
the benefit Of those whose. unfortunate
ignorance Of the predatory classes may
render such aid necessary. :
From one Of the anecdotes related it
appears that honor among thieves is
not always to be found.
""One day." says the writer. II went
to Croydon and touched for a red toy
(gold watch) and red tackle (gold
chain) with large locket. So l took
the rattler home at once. When got
into Shoreditch l met one or two Of
the mob, who said: Hello! Been out
today? Did you touchY
$50 l said Usher (yes). So l took
them in, and we all got canon. When
went to the fence he bested (cheated)
me because was drunk and only gave
fS los. for the lot. So the next day
went to him, and asked him If he
was not a-going to grease my duke
Dut money into my hand).
$50 he said NO. Then he said, Il
will give you another half quid,' and
said, DO anybody, but mind they don't
do you.'
$50 l thought to myself, All right.
my lad, you will find me as good as
my MASTER and left him. Some time
after that affair with the fence one of
the mob said to me:
S".I have: got a place cut and dried.
viii you come and do it?'
$50 said: Yes. What tools will
you wantY
"And he said, we shall want some
twirls and the stick ((crowbar), and
bring a Neddie Qife preservep with
you.' And he said, Now don't stick
me up (disappoinb; meet me at 6 to-
night --+ -.

I had my daisies cleaned, and l piped
the fence that bested me go along with
his old woman (wife) and his two kids
(children), SO l thought Of his own
words, DO anybody, but mind they
don't do you.'
"He was going to the Lyceum thea
ter. so when my pal came up l told
him all about it. So we went and
screwed (broke into) his place and got
thirty-two quid and toy and tackle
which he had bought on the crook
(dishonestly). A day or two after this
I met the fence who I'd done, so he
said to me, we have met at last
$50 said, We'll, what Of that?'

Of the Irish court. Of common pleas
from 1880 till his death in 1946, was
famed for his wit. The gossip in the

true" the chief justice was asked.
