the resolution While she may have her fears
about militarism, this teacher should contemplate
the words Of a speaker at the session OF the Ma
tonal Association OF Manufacturers who declar-
cd that the great expense of mtarism was one
OF the reasons OF the high cost of living. lie cited
the vast amount expended for equipping instru-
ments of destruction.
If the business men of the nations ever become
thoroughly aroused to the great expense of war
preparations and the drain such expenditures are
upon the resources Of the country, there will be
a decided check to militarism.
Near the meeting of the union men was the
gathering of the Socialists in the flush of their
victory in Milwaukee and loaded down with
schemes for the spreading of their doctrine. Prac-
tical Socialists are they said Berger their lead
err and no "Impossibilists" Remarkable too
was il that the American flag was put up in the
convention some time after it assembled. Usu-
ally the rcd flag is the only symbol of Social
ism, for Socialism is international and knows not
geographical lines
From the statement Of the leaders at the con-
vention we suspect that the Milwaukee Socialists
will advocate a sort of State Socialism, not the
real thing. They will be a reform party with the
Marian ideas in the dim future to be held up as
the goal that not even the Socialists are anxious
to reach. Possibly Marx is the chief of the I'm
possibilists' that Mr.. Berger has in mind.
While the friends of labor meeting in Chi
cago the manufacturers have been holding their
sessions in New York. The president of the as
socaton is especially gratihed that the predic-
ton Of Mr.. Gompers that the labor unions would
control everything has not come true. And if
Gompers ever made such a prediction he will
have long time to wait for its fulhllment.
Out of all these different views it is certain that
things industriay are getting better. We are on
the upward, not the downward path The manner
in which threatened great strikes have been avert
cd during the last six months is truer indication
of actual status of the relations between labor and
capital than all the speeches that might be made
at dozen meetings.

Z + Senator dupont had not voted with the ma
\ ority of his party on the important ques-
tons before the Senate, he would have been as
sailed as a bolter and the Regulars would be, ae-
cording to Democratic newspapers opposed to
him in Delaware. AS the Senator voted with
the party majority on nearly all questions he IS
accused of being a follower of Aldrich.
AS matter of fact the Senator was follow
er OF no one. He voted according to his convc-
tons and for what he believed to be the best in
terests Of Delaware. And he has not the slight
est fear of what the answer of the people of Del
aware will be at the next election.
The Democrats arc making frantic efforts to
stir up feeling against the Senator, but when the
people realize that the defeat Of the Republicans
means the triumph OF either the SaulsburyKcn

Avenue Theatre on the evening Of per-
formance OF "Mamsele." The inner space
was filled with trunks, containing the
heroes and herolnes OF all the plays Of the
past season. The spectator sat on a trunk
and watched the actors disappear into
the dresslng-rooms lining the walls,
whence by caterpillar-cocoon-bu

naming orchestra men whisked through a
trap door, and there followed tremen-
dous scraping and tuning OF instruments
which ended IN a lively two-step. Actors
and actresses appeared, nodding pleasant

sion looking like an art schopl parade
where the students have ransacked the
costume-room, moved up to the darkened
spaces OF the stage behind scenes.
Miss Pitts amiable little maid, Virginia,
conveyed the spectator through the dark
