1t Is not necessary to be a mil
lionaire to join the Recess club. but
q mere millionaire would find himself
as solitary as the man in the latest
popular song who declares:

There are more than 5000 million

only $50 members Of the Recess club,
and the humblest Of these estimates

addition to the ESQ on the rolls of the
club there are 40 on the waiting list.
The membership committee IN the
mean time Is said to be looking up
their rating.
The bylaws of the club do not
specifically state that to possess many
millions Is a necessary qualifica ton
for membership. but 1t Is generally
understood In the financial district
that smaller millionaires are not
wanted. The list OF members tapers
down from those worth $500 900 900 to

Socialists Make Gains.
Almost unnoticed by the political
press. which Is fighting bitterly over
the Insurance Bill and Home Rule the
Socialist party in England made tre-
mendous gains in the recent munic-
fpal elections. The result proves that
one voter In every six IN the country
is a Socialist, and from total of TO-
900 Socialist votes cast in 1900 the
number has now risen to 1000 ,000 Ac-
cording to the secretary of the Anti
Socialists Union, the Socialist party
will be In full control of the British
Isle in ten years If there is no Or
ganized movement to fight the propo-
ganda Of it's enthusiastic advocates.
Most of the Socialist gains were
made at the expense of the Liberals,
but in a number of cities. especially
Liverpool. the stronghold of Unionism
that party also lost ground. The Labor
PARTY Is undoubtedly disappointed by
the showing its members have made
may soon be diverted to the ranks
Of Socialism. 1t is considered re-
markable that these gains should have
been made in the face of the program
of radical social reform measures ad
vocated by the present government.
A certain section of the press which
has commented on the municipal cleo
ton is inclined to attribute the So
cfalist gains to the use of troops by
the government in the late strikes.
