with Humorous Intent.

The sense of the comic is much
blunted by habits Of punning and of
using humoristic phrase; the trick of
employing Johnsonian polysyllables to
treat of the infinitely little. And it
really may be humorous. of kind.
yet it will miss the point by going too
much round about it.-George Mere

Apswer to Roosevelt.


Mr. Roosevelt recently made very
bitter attack on Socialism IN the
columns OF the Outlook The attack Is
unfair for the reason tnat In seeking
to establish what Socialism Is Roose-
welt does not quote from q single ac-
credited Socialist writer or the official
declaration OF the party-its platform.
On the contrary he quotes from Annie
Besant and PrOudhon, who never were
Socialists and from Gabrllle Devllle
Mrs. Moore and others who are avowed
enemies Of Socialism. He would not
like to have Republicansm defined and
represented by people who are enemies
OF Republlcanlsm.
Then Mr.. Roosevelt ludulges In
abuse rather than argument. IL counts
for little with thinking people that
he should call the Socialists obscene,
immora dangerous, OF nebulous faith,
incoherent In statement, particularly as
he makes no effort TO prove any OF these
statements. The use Of epithets Is not
argument.
Mr. Roosevelt errs in historical data.
He argues that Socialism WAS tried
something oyer century ago, when
as matter Of fact IL Is philosophy
that is only little over century old.
Mr. Roosevelt makes charges with
out attempting to prove the charges.
He accuses Socialists Of working to
destroy the home, to wreck civilization,
to overthrow all order, and with being
dishonest and immoral. These are
grave charges. But II such charges
were made In court and no effort made
to substantiate the charge, they would
be thrown from court with Indignation
that they were ever made.
Now the writer desires to make these
denials: Socialism is the friend and not
the enemy OF the home. Socialism Is
Ia the friend and not the enemy OF real
religion. Socialism Is seeking to pro-
mote justice and to establish more
perfect order. Then, from the con-
structive side: Socialism is merely
popular rule-industrial democracy.
Socialism would by ending corporate
property, enable all men to have pri-
vate property.
Socialism is thoroughly American
the completion OF the movement for
socialized power which was begun in
1776. 1t provides for Democracy by
means OF the initiative and referendum,
and 1t Is foolish to assert that men and
women who make the laws under which
they will live will abolish the marriage
relation and do the other outrageous
things charged by Roosevelt. Put it
to yourself-would you?

For Many Centuries the Horseshoe
Has Been Regarded as an En-
bien of Luck.

Many superstitions have been
traced, with some defniteness, 10
their origin, but that about the
horseshoe has not. 1t has been
traced back to about 1850, bnt there
the antiquarians had to give it up.
At that time, most Of the houses in
the west end of London had a horse
shoe nailed over the door as a protec-
ton against witches and evil spirits.
It was believed that a witch could
not enter a house so protected. Many
houses in this country have horse
shoe attached to them IN some way,
and sailors, who are nearly all SUI
perstitious, nail the shoes up in their
ships for '1uck." Out of this old
superstition grew the notion that it
is lucky" to find an old horseshoe,
and it is said that the more nails
there are in the shoe when YOU pick
it up, the more luck you will have.

"Yeas, but after the corns were
