The Archaeological Institute OF
America, founded in Boston in 1870,
and incorporated by Congress in 1906,
is composed of twenty-one affiliated
societies, with a total membership OF
about 1000. 1t promotes archaeological
research by founding and aiding ex-
cavations and explorations, holding
special archaeological meetings and
maintaining public lectures Its in
Nestigations have been carried on in
the Orient, Mexico, Central America

lis auspices are the American School
OF Classical Studies, at Athens, estab-

school for Oriental Study and Re-

OF the platform. He was Leading a

ed: This boy is Eccles Nelson; he's

"1Ir. Roosevelt added that Eccles

that he came with his uncle. Wouldn't

him and assured the Coy that every

them all for their kind attention,

Note how it was all planned by the.
ingenious Mr. Rowland, just before the
speaker had come to a good stopping
place: how the crowd was hanging on
his moving words, and how, after whis-
pering with Rowland, he realized what
a "hit''it would make if he should stop
regulating all the affairs of the coun-
try, and show q tender sympathy for
the little stray lamb--it's wonder
that he did not sing, oh, here is your

telling them that he docs ordinary

So far as we know Eccles Nelson is
the only boy in Tennessee who ever
got lost in crowd, and how Mr..
Rowland found him requires eNplana-

got away with it.

THE STRIDE OF SOCIALISM.

In numerical strength, the socialists
are striding forward powerfully.
There can be no question as to the
rapid growth of this element in the
political life of many countries The
reports made to the international
socialist congress recently held at
Copenhagen show remarkable numeri-
cal progress. These reports show that
socialism has increased since last
year in ten countries, namely,
Great Britain, Germany. Austria.
France, Holland, Belgium, Seryia. Den
mark, Switzerland, and the United
States In Russia, sweden and Italy
the socialists have lost in numbers.
There are no trustworthy statistics
for Great Britain, for the party there in
cludes the labor party and the fedora
ton of miners. about a million and a
half men in round numbers. The Ger
man social democracy has about
100000 enrolled members Five times
that number of votes were cast by the
socialists at the last general election
for the Reichstag. In the United
States the membership OF the socialist
party Is given as $4,000 Eugene v.
Debs, the socialist candidate for presi-
don't, in 1908, received $4,000 votes.
Though the German Reichstag has As
socialist members. there is no socialist
member of the Congress of the United
States. German militarism Is said to
be the chief cause of the socialist
strength in that nation.
One of the interesting things brought
out at the meeting at Copenhagen is
that the Intercollegiate socialist So
clety is very active in this country.
1t has hourishing and increasing chap
tiers for the study OF socialism In II
of the leading universities and colleges
in the United States and Is planning a
strenuous campaign to double the num-
Der of these chapters this year.
The total enrolment Of the various
organizations represented at copen-
hagen is about 100000. Socialism is

TO PREVENT MISUNDERSTANDING

In an article concerning the races
at the State Fair printed in the Sport
ing Section of The Times Dispatch on
yesterday. the words, Some folk fear
crookedness," appeared in the head
lines.
Since those who have not read the
whole, article may imagine that inn
proper Influences We're at work at the
lair, The Times-Dispatch hastens to
declare that the words in the head
lines We're NOT. intended to reflect in
any way on senys"of the judges, officials
or managers of the races. but were
meant to point out the fact that under
prevailing conditions general criticism
is provoked.
For instance. If the winner on the
flat were handicapped and forced to
rarry additional weight in the races
on following days, there would not
have been the daily spectacle of "a
procession or walk over" and the
public would not have cried, Put up
job
The officials of the fair, the judges
and those in charge of the racing are
men OF the highest character. some of
them of national reputation, and it is
impossible that any words printed In
this paper could be Intended to reflect
in any way upon their integrity.
We are informed that hereafter dur
ing the State Fair racing meet penalty
for winning will be enforced, and that
this action will put an end to the
unedifying spectacle of the same horse
romping home first in every event in
which he is entered, condition of
affairs which caused the public TO
lost interest in the races and which
provoked adverse criticism.

THE COMPLEXION OF THE SENATE.

branch of the national legislature. In
many States, political conditions are
unsettled. giving promise of eXtraor-
what may happen in the next few
months in regard to senatorial va
cancies.
With the chances against him, Sen
ator Beveridge is making the fight of
his life in Indiana In Connecticut,
Senator Buckley is strongly opposed.
The Republican organization in Ne
braska is seriously divided, and Gilbert
NJ. Hitchcock has an excellent chance
against Burkett, one of the Republican
Senators at present from that State.
Missouri seems ready to come back
into the Democratic column, and Sena-
tor Warner Will, it is thought, have to
give his seat TO d Democrat. Senator
Nixon, of Nevada, does not expect to
return. and in his stead the Legisla-
ture of Nevada will in all probability
send a member of the present minority
party. Maine has a Democratic Legis-
1ature, and 1t is just as we'll that Sena-
tor Hale has determined to retire from
the seat which he apparently held

against heavy opposition in Montana,
where the Democrats and Insurgents
IRE about to combine against him. If
New York goes Democratic-and it
looks that way--the Legislature will
find among the followers of Dix some
suitable successor to Depew. In Ohio.
n landslide may cause a Democrat to
succeed Charles Dick. New Jersey.
Massachusetts, North Dakota and West
Virginia may go Democratic.
If these States should return Demo-
Gratis, the present minority party would
control the Senate. Besides, Arizona at
Ats latest territorial election went Dem
ocratic! If the performance be repeat
ed when Arizona has joined the sister
hood of States two Democrats will be
added to the Senate. New Mexico is
just as likely to go Democratic as Re-
publican.
Stranger things have happened, and
1t would not be so very surprising
If the Democrats should capture the
Senate. The prospects are good for just
that.

STILL sLANDERING DIR. COOK.

Professor Hcrschel C. Parker. for
merly of Columbia University, has re-
turned to New York from his unsuc-
cessful attempt to climb Mount Nc
kinley. The other evening he told the
Explorers Club, many OF whom have
never been south of the Potomac River
to see what there Is in this part of
the country. what he thought of the
so-called Lloyd party which has
claimed to have climbed Mount Nc
Kinley last April, and "Dr Cook did
not have anything on the Lloyd party
when it came to fiction" 1t might be
inferred from this statement that the
Professor does not think that DIR. Cook
got there; but he does not prove II. He
admitted to the Club that he and his
party only reached height of 10000
feet, and that even then he was seven
imiles from the summit According 10
DR.. Cooks own statement he reached
an altitude of l0,40o feet, but the Pro-
| fesor explained this away by saying

examination OF his Instruments showed
that they registered 1000 feet out OF
the way" But this doea not prove

that he will not have the support Of

is really no reason why lie should

of his party, and then 1t was only
after. much persuasion that he con-
sented to make the race. He is safe
man. business man, and the business
men of New York are turning to him
with splendid unanimity. They are
tired of the constant antagonism to
their interests; they have had more
than enough OF dictation from ire
sponsible bosses; they will vote for
Dix because he represents the sanest
and safest sentiment of the State.
Nobody thinks of Stimson as any
thing more than Il puppet in the hands
of the master of the Saratoga show
1t is not what Stimson would do or
