THE MALIGNED PAGAN

theorize all the time about it and create good advertising copy.
 The old pagans, like most normal men, could wage a good fight. whereas our moderns can only knock heads To make good fighter one must be essentially simple hearted, whereas modernity is nothing if not complex. Ibsen, Shaw, Wells and Galsworthy cannot fight. for the simple reason that they cannot pick single issue to fight upon. The despised reforming liberals of the Benthans Mill and John Bright type could fight because trey had definite material ends in mind. The orthodox socialists of the present day car fight because they, too, have definite material ends in view. A cooperative commonwealth shorter hours, anti-mili- tarism-these are fairly imaginable and mutually consistent issues. But Shaw, and Wells, and Gasworthy even, do not know what they want. They are social ists who want the state to dominate, and individualists who assert the rights of the individual against society, and advo- cates of an income tax, workmen's insur- ance and tenement house reform, and nyStlcS WHO pelleVe III lhllSs not or tnlS world, and poets. and several other things. In other words, they want to eat their cake and have it, an inconss- tency of which the pagan mind was sell 6om guilty.
 In justice therefore, to the old pagans it should be pointed out that with all their defect they did build up a social organ ism and a civilizations, and that under their institutions men worked and bar tered and created beauty. married and gave in marriage, fought and made peace, and did all this unconsciousy and con- sistently. What institutions the modern spirit, as revealed in the men we have been discussing, will develop, we find it impossible to imagine. The indica- tions would seem to point to a system ill which the state shall compel every one to dc what he pleases. s,...-

The Iron Market

Matthew Addy & Co., in their weekly re- port, say:
 "It is a dull and tiresome time In the ircu market. Prices have declined to a point where there can be no profit in them for any independent furnaces north or south. Labor, railroad freights and many raw materials are at the top notch and apparently there is no way In which to bring down manufacturing costs except by general reductions all along the line. The whole situation is thoroughly and unequivocally unsatisfactory. Buyers do not seem particularly attracted by the low prices There has been some little purchasing but nothing of any conse- quence. The attitude of consumers of iron Is mainly one of indifference.
 "Of course a situation as bad as that of the iron trade at present cannot last indefinitely. Unless there is some change wholesale reductions in wages and de- mand for much lower freights on coke, ore and pig iron. It will be impossible for the furnaces to stand the whole burden. It is to be remembered, for example, that the freight from Birming- ham to Cincinnati is $325, whereas few years ago 1t was s2.25. and this propor- ton of advance as regards railroad freights is general.
 'Tn this present decline of prices the big corporations are leading the way They are the cutters and apparently they have given up the attempt to hold prices steady" W

The Milwaukee snenserfe.t

The Birmingham Maennerchor, the singing section of the Turn-verein, Fred L. Grambs director. will leave for the great national saengerfest to be held in Milwaukee the latter part of this month The singers will start from here Mon- day, June 1s, over the Louisville and Nashville. In speaking of the saengerfest Professor Grambs said:
 Milwaukee is prepared to entertain in fine style the enormous crowd that will assemble there. This saengerfest will be one of the most notable ever held, and musically will doubtless be the best. Hess, has been especially engaged for the solo parts. It is estimated that the chorus in the mass numbers will include from 10000 to 12000 voices. Accompanying the Maennerchor will be Oliver Chalifoux and Mrs. Marie Kern Mullen and her pupil, Miss Louise Veetch.
 The Maennerchor will stop over in Chi cago en route to Milwaukee as the guests
 "The saengerfest proper will embrace der the festival director, and will con clude with volksfest, and the individ- ual societies of the larger cities will be heard in selections of their own. The music to be sung in Chicago will be in large measure folk songs of the Father. land. They will be rendered without ac- | compartment, but the more pretentiou: works will be accompanied by splendid orchestra of over 100 pieces. All of us are looking forward with keen delight l to the social as well as the artistic l features of the Milwaukee fest"

HE SAW THEE SHOW.


 The small boy stood in front of the daz- zllng lights of the cheap theatre with yellow dog under his arm. Evidently he wanted to get in, and the sight of we'll dressed and apparently prosperous man on the steps gave him an idea.
 Are you the manager of the show" asked the boy. It turned out that he had guessed correctly and the lad contnued I want to see the show, but haven't got no money. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll give you this dog if youll let me in" The managers heart melted. He re- membered that he, too, had been boy. You may go in," he said, but never mind about giving me the dog Take the dog along with you.''
 The lad went in with the yellow dog under his coat After the performance the manager was still standing in front, and happened to see the urchin come out. ''Well. sonny" he remarked. "how did you like the show"
 "Oh, pretty we'll" he said, "but I'm glad I didn't have to give you the dog.'- Detroit News Tribune.

Democratic National Convention City


 Baltimore, I understand, will make well organized effort to secure next years democratic national convention, and hope it will succeed said P. r. McCon- nell of Pittsburg. "I am not a politician as that term is generally understood, but I have taken an active interest in the democratic party ever since I became was once an alternate delegate to na- tional convention-1Ss6 I have, however attended all the other conventions since 1880, the one held in Cincinnati as a locker on. I suppose some of the big western cities will try hard to get the 1912 convention, but it has been a long time since Baltimore was honored and T think it well deserves to be selected as the place. Cincinnati would probably be the most accessible city, all things considered. but Baltimore is very accessible, indeed visit Baltimore frequently, and can tes- tify that no city in the United States is more hospitable, and that few are better equipped in the matter of accommoda- tions for handling vast crowds.
 fIhe national committee, winch selects the time and place for the convention will probably meet in January Even when the democratic party is at low ebb it's conventions are always great affairs from numerical point of view, and since the democrats stand to win in 1912, candidates for the nomination, the at tendance at the next convention is apt to be record breaker. A number of cities, therefore. will compete actively for the prize"

IN HOTEL LoBBIEs
In the Business World

After periods of depression of business inactivity. the west has usually led in starting the prosperity ball to rolling, but this time on the eve of a trade re- vival New York is ahead so far as bull ish feeling is concerned" said a prom inert citizen who is in close touch with financial and industrial affairs.
 While the west is in splendid condi- tien, business just now west of the Mis- sissippi has been less brisk within the past four or five week sthan it was early in the year. But this is not significant Western crops are of bumper size and the railroads will be overtaxed with west ern traffic. The western farmers have been thriving year in and year out for decades past. and as this will probably be banner year with them. western cities will be the centers of large trading; and what applies to the western farmer will apply in large measure to the southern farmer so far as the present Is concerned. Western agriculture has been developed along broad and profitable lines for quarter of century or more, while In the south our great forward movement, both agriculturally and industrially, has been in evidence only 10 or 15 years. The fact is that the really big strides have been made in the south within the past three or four years.
 '"rhe reason there Is more bullish feeling In the east than in the west is probably due to the fact that the big railroad companies centering in New York have been in position to negotiate huge loans for improvement purposes at very low rate of interest, and it is an interest ing fact that out of the proceeds of every s1o0o bond that is sold about $500 goes for the purchase of equipment or to gay for new constructions and the pur- chase of rails, motive power and rolling stock is felt directly by the iron and steel trade. In spite of the United States supreme court decisions and congressional probe investigations I believe that the last six months of this year will bring large volumes of business in every sec- ton of the United States"

court on his knee-sprune bay, and he
shook his head and heaved a sigh and
wiped tear from his good left eye.
