SHALL WE REVOLVER

Prophet Upton Sinclair having rolled up the
sleeves of his blue flannel shirt and seen the reyo
luton which he predicted seven years ago hang
ing imminently above the horizon, we feel bet
ter. Things are pretty bad, ii is true, and get
ting worse, as is the habit of things all the time
But now that Sinclair has seen the deluge, we
ha,e hopes that the world may swim out. For
Sinclair is constantly seeing destruction just
ahead. He is one of the most positive prophets
in history. He is one of the most convincing
forcrunners of disaster And yet-though he

alarm holds Sinclair as It's most comforting hope.
Mr.. Sinclair, who hoped into fame by pre-
dieting that the country was beng murdered
with bad meat, has lived among a carniverous
people and grown fat himself upon vegetable
diet. Having sat in the woods and written a
society drama, he is now received-blue shirt,
puttees and all-in the most exclusive circles
Now, the sequel to the crash, which he foresees
of all great business enterprise, we expect yet
to see him President Of Trust. Somehow, the
game always gets away with Mr. Sinclair, carry
ing him off triumphantly and triunphing upon
the crest of the wave.
For the latest revolution Mr.. Sinclair gives
Colonel Roosevelt full credit. He thinks, how
ever, that the Colonel is working unwittingy
toward the great desideratum Of the confscation
Of private property, without knowing what he
does, rs he figures it out, the spirit of dis
content which Colonel Roosevelt is riding the
Iusurgcnt movement which he is coddling, has
destiny which even the Colonel is poweress to
direct. Roosevelt, according to Sinclair, is a
Lincoln who is blind to what he himself means
Taft Is the Buchanan Of the situation. Debs is
the Wendell Phillips La Toilette Is Sumner
As result, the Socialists are to rise up and de-
mand the privilege of grabbing all private prop
erty, just as the abolitionsts forced the grabbing
OF all the slaves Sinclair rolling up his sleeves,
hears the din accompanying the carnage, and
prepares to dip his arms in blood up to the elbow
We counsel that no one be alarmed. Mr.. Roosc-
welt may have the thought of a revolution in his
mind, but ii is to be more of coup d etat than
a Commune. True, he finds the path to kingship
blocked here and there by strange manifestations
of independence, but let no one think that he does
