salva.ionists Give an impressive Ex. hibit in London, Depicting Scenes
 From Life.

London.-Ten thousand people at- tended the demonstration given re- gently by the Salvation Army at the Albert hall. Old. white haired and almost blind, General Booth presided in person. "Only with my inner sight have l been able to witness these transformations and miracles that the love of God has wrought" he said after patiently sitting through the diff ferent scenes that were played before an attentive and interested audience.
 First was depicted a night on the Thames embankment at one of the army's shelters. Gradually the great arena in the hall filled with hundreds of destitute and homeless men, to

whom food and encouragement were given by the officers present, in illus tration of their nightly task in various cities. The same men were seen later busily sorting out great sacks of waste paper, showing how employment of some description was found for even the most unpromising material.
 Work among the little ones was demonstrated by parade of forty gray gowned. white capped nurses, carrying in their arms tiny babies, some only week or two old and many of them prison born A crowd of hungry, ragged children followed dancing round an Italian hurdy-gurdy and fighting and playing with each other. Food and coffee were distrib- uted to the boys and girls, who had been brought up from the slums that very afternoon as actual specimens of the raw material upon which the army Is working.
 Then came the children of The Nest" as the girls home at Clapton is called. AS the neatly dressed brigade, consisting of about fifty lit- tie girls-all of whom have been res- cued from drunken and brutal parents dropped into the hall, where they danced and formed themselves into a zareba, loud applause resounded throughout the building A number of woman officers followed, visiting wom- an prisoners in jail-realistic demon strations being given of refractory cases who refused to go back to their cells
 The industrial and land colony at Hadleigh, Essex, where more than 1000 acres of land Is being farmed and intensive garden culture is car Tied on, was represented by a pro- cession of gardeners. beekeepers. shep- herds, poultry and dairy farmers, car. rying poultry or dairy produce, fruits or vegetables or the implements of their labor. The farm proper carries more than 1000 head of horses, cattle. sheep and lambs and pigs, grows large quantities of grain and roots and will soon be busy haymaking and harvest ing
 The work of the emigration depart ment was also indicated by means of tableaux and statistics were given showing that the army now carries on its social agencies in fifty-six coun. tries and breaches salvation in thirty nine languages, while 1t possesses 954 social institutions, 621 day schools and twelve military and naval homes. in addition to more than 100000 officers of all ranks.

very necessary that he dispenses a few

small matters as probably from $50, 1000

annual expenditure of half million on

followed by call for round number
of millions for the year round entertain

In the short time allotted me tonight
am only able to make passing notice OF
a few OF the proofs that socialism is not
only gaining ground but is coming by
leaps and bounds that all the powers of
earth combinea cannot stay.
But another proof that socialism is
inevitable, resistless, is the fact that
they who are most opposed to it are
doing the greatest and most important
work toward its establishment-that So
called great captains of industry, such
as the Rockefellcrs the Morgans, the
Hills, the Harrimans. and Others, and
which sometimes call themselves Chris
tian gentlemen, have demonstrated the
fact that by combination of capital the
cost of production can be diminished,
they have at the same time also proven
to our satisfaction that while industry
IS privately owned, there is no end to
which they viii push their oppression
upon us to crafty their own covetous
lesires, thus showing the absolute neces-
sity OF collective ownership of the
means of production in order that all
may have an opportunity to live. Yes,
I said an opportunity to live, for if
some one owns and controls the means
whereby I have to live, he controls my
life.
And that band of blood suckers, that
parasite class which has exploited la
Dor until they now have almost all the
means of production in their possession,
las demonstrated to n certainty that
they also own and control the govern
ment in their own selfish interests, thus
proving the necessity of working class
control OF the government. There, now,
YOU have it: collective ownership of the
means of production and working class
control of the government, which is So
| cialism pure and simple, and the Rookie
Fellers and the Morgans helping us to
get it, and we haven't even asked their
| assistance.
And last, but not least, now that So
cialism has reached that stage of devel-
| opment at which the eNploitcrs of labor
no longer feel safe to snceringly or con-
tcnlptuously pass it unnoticcd, and are
waging their fiercest warfare against it.,
their every attack is rcpulsed with great
loss, ana silWuNS Ill oNcI"uellh
ing recruits in the socialist ranks. And
now that they are routed to their last
fertilization (the Federal courts), and
their trusty old machine guns (the
Judges, on the verge of becoming use
less; methinks I can sec the socialist
sun breaking on the eastern horizon of
the coming nation.
You are all aware of the great social
unrest in this nation, thoroughly proven
by the returns of our recent elections
There is also n great moral and intellcc-
tual awakening which is sure to cul-
inmate in Il great change. How easy it
would be for that change to be from a
corrupt system of graft and competition
to a Christian system of cooperation,
in which graft and corruption can find
no abiding place.
Worthy Master, in the short time j
have had to talk. I have only attempted
to mention a few of the proofs that So
cialism is coming, and coming to stay.
In fact. I deem it unnecessary to men,

strange variety, which no one has
been able to name. Nearly every
fruit man in the city has been shown
the apple. but no one has been able
TO give it a name. The exterior of
the apple is of a rich yellow, but the
interior is of light red, about the
color of a watermelon. The appear
ance of the apple would make one be

it has little flavor and is rather sour
and hard. The apple is a freak and
