his philosophy and all the philosophy
of his art, he has been unable to &C.
quire.
To whom does the high honor be-
long? Who are these, blessed of the
pagan gods. that have revived the
mysteries of Astarte, tho moon god
dess, and brought back once more to
earth the long-vanished pleasures of
Daphne's sacred grover Poets? OF
course! Artists? To be sho', to be
sho'-artists to their finger tips. A
glorious melange 1t is. with free tents,
free lunches. and free ~love-every-
thing free that one could think of or
wish for.
At least that is the way 1t seems
to loom to Upton Sinclair, poet; Mrs.
Upton Sinclair. poetess, and Harry
Kemp. rough-and-ready traveller and
poet. 1t lie a tale Of Utopian marriage,
Utopian leanings and longings. Tito.
plan tangles. and poets three. Mrs.
Sinclair lived contentedly for eleven
years with the poet Of socialism, un-
conscious Of a hiatus in her life. Then
she met the poet Of the stockyards,
With all the fervor Of her simple and
clinging nature. she turned to him,
With all the manliness Of his noble
heart, he turned to her. He had eaten
his friends bread. and slept in his
tent, tbs true. But what are these as
barriers before the flood? 1t was the
swelling Of the Jordan, and there was
nothing fer Upton to do but climb the
banks and watch them go by.
They have talked the little affair
Owe together. however, and all is
pleasant. Upton, unfortunately, is a
monogamist. 1t is a vestige Of early
and inherited superstitions that has
hung to him, like the velvet to the
young stag's horns. So Upton has
had recourse to the divorce courts.
Not with any sense Of injury. though
oh. dear. no! But Just because
we'll, the modern life is yet crude, and
that seems the best way out.
It is all so free and so unrestrain-
ed and SO unconventional, that unless
one has mastered the jargon of Utopia
1t will be difficult to understand it en-
tirely. II 1t were an ordinary case,
there would be an inclination to con-
dole with the husband as a much
abused person. But from what little
can DO gathered Of the situation
through a study Of the main charac-
tiers, a suspicion arises that the pro-
spective "temperamental readjust-
ment" Of the merry trio will leave
Upton with the winning hand.

Numerous visiting buyers continue
to be in evidence in the country's
leading markets, thus making for
more or less activity in house trade,
but notwithstanding this, reports tend
to display q greater degree of ir-
regularity than is usually visible at
this stage of the season. The situa-
ton as a whole is characterized by q
marked degree Of conservatism, which
finds expression in small lot pur-
chases. but significantly enough,
prompt shipments are desired. So
far as relative activity Is concerned,

lines, there is a good deal Of idleness,
this being especially noticeable in the
textile centers. north and south,
where curtailment is very general.
Retrenchments are also being en-
forced by the railroads, thus making
for less employment and the labor

BLACK HAND FLOUR1sHEs.

Black hand outrages are 1ourishing
In New York to q greater extent than
ever before. For the twelfth time with
In . month the police have been stir
red into activity" by the explosion
Of Q bomb. In fact, there have been
90 many similar explosions that the
people Of New York, even those in the
Italian quarter, are losing interest in
them
Russia In it, most lawless period
never experienced anything like SO
many bomb outrages as are laid at the
door Of the so-called black hand. Most
Of the laundering attempts at black
mail. practiced as they are on timid
foreigners, are the work of their igno-
rant but lawless compatriots. Because
Of fear the victims seldom tell the po-
lice all they know. This has made the
capture Of the miscreants very diff
cult.
The police Of New York, however,
have been able to stamp out the gun
play in Chinatown. and If they used
the same methods with the black
hand, success might crown their eff
forts. Certainly the constant failure
that has attended the efforts Of the
police with reference to the bomb out
RACES has been the greatest encour-
agement to the perpetuation Of such
lawlessness. Ignorant as the GRIM
,nals may be, they have reason to feel
hat they are more than a match for
he officers Of the law.
Scarcely a day passes without some
1aring attempt on the part Of the law
>reakers to obtain money by threats
" by actual kidnapping. In one day
N New York three bomb explosions
and a KIDNAPPING were reported.
Rarely. however, r there reports OF
ten-year sentences for the perpetra-
tors Of crimes. The offenders from
abroad undoubtedly feel that they are
immune.
Lax immigration laws. it is proba-
BILE. : responsible for much Of the
lewlessness in the foreign settlements
Of New York. 1t should not be enough
that an immigrant have q sufficient
amount Of money or q promise OF
work or good health. He should be
compelled to have a certificate Of
character from some man Of standing
in his own country.
While stricter immigration laws are
needed, the police meanwhile should
spare neither time nor expense to run
down at least a few Of the black
handlers. Men who are familiar with
Italian character and habits should
be hired. Il the police Of New York
are unable to get results. the city
should engage some capable private
detectives. Certainly the existing con.
ditious are q disgrace not only to the
city Of New York, but to the whole
United States.

American Emigration

This country has long been accus- toned to immigration, and it has not known much about emigration. The time has come, however, when it must take some of the medicine it has promoted in other countries. Ten years ago only 1000 persons left the United States to find new homes. The number steadily increased during the decade until it reached 10000 in the year ended March 31. The predic- tion is freely made that 100000 Americans will in the present year leave their native land to become citi- zens of the Dominion in the great northwestrn wheat belt beyond Win nipeg.
 This is to be a record year in Can adian settlement. Free homesteads are offered to all corners, and it is this that is creating stream of homeseekers from our northwestern states to points along the new rail- roads that stretch westward from Winnepeg. Buildings are going up and there is great demand not only for farm help but also for carpenters and bricklayers. The Dominion gov ernment has a minister of the in- terior, Frank Oliver, and he employs scores of salaried agents to induce and promote emigration from this country. He has established seven- teen agencies in this country. These men appeal to those who feel the eff fects of high-priced lands in this country to go to Canada where land is free to all homeseekers. Free homestead land is the secret of the big movement.

THE VILLAGE PRIEST

By Goldsmith. Thus to relieve the wretched was his
 pride And cen his failinss leaned to virtues
 side: But in his duty prompt at every call, He watched and wept. he prayed and felt
 for all; And, as a bird each fond endearmert
 tries, To tempt It's new -nedged offspring to the
 skies, He tried each art. reproved each dull de
 lay, AlIured to brighter worlds and led the
 way. Beside the bed where parting life was
 laid, And sorrow, guilt and pain by turns dis- may'd, The reverend champion stood. At his con-
 trol, Despair and anguish fled the struggling
 soul; Comfort came down the trembling wretch
 to raise, And his last fiattering accents whispered
 praise. At church. with meek and unanccted
 grace, Ills looks adorned the venerable place: Truth from his lips prevail'd with double
 sway, And fools, who came to scof remain'd
 to pray. /

THE TRAFFIC OF LONDON

From the Chicago News.
 "Silent and watchful men, $50 in num- Der, using specially prepared score sheets, will stand at the boundaries of London from a. m. to p. m. for one day count ing the people and vehicles entering the metropolis. The result will be the most nearly complete analysis of Lon- don's traffic ever attempted.
 "To enumerate the traffic of London Is gigantic problem, for this is no longer walled city with well defined gates where vehicles may enter. There are 52 wide places and great number of narrow lanes that admit vehicles, as well as pedestrians. With his 96 stations, how ever, the clerk of the census staff says that he will make a record of everything and everybody going by and only airships can escape the counters.
 When the tables are made up it will be known how large proportion of horse vans and motor-propelled vehicles and how many omnibuses, horse and motor, carry people into London and how many enter on the railways. All the river wharves except two will be closed to fa- cilitate the counting of people coming ty boats"

Shorter Form of the Decalogue

At congress of the Episcopal church, held in Washington, Dr. Douglas, canon of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, urged the adoption of the shortened form of the Ten Commandments, as follows:
 l. God spake these words and said l am the Lord thy God; thou shalt have none other God but Me.
 2. Thou shalt not make to myself any graven image to worship it and serve it.
 8. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
 A. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath Day. Six days shalt thou labor.
 5. Honor thy father and thy mother. G. Thou shalt do no murder.
 T. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
 8 Thou shalt not commit adultry.
 9. Thou shalt not steal
 10. Thou shalt not covet thy neigh bor's goods.
 Coming from canon of the cathe- dral in New York the proposition created mild sensation. Dr. Douglas, however, held to his view of the mat ter. "Let us,' he said, "drop the in- Hated clauses wherewith some an cient scribes spoiled the magnificent proposition of the decalogue. Why may we not follow the example of the Roman and the Lutheran .churches and have the courage to rsstore oul prayer-book version of tbs Ten Con- mandments to what scholars are pret- ty generally agreedkwas the original and shorter forprso that we shalpnot weary our Sahgregations with oxen and asseseand slaves which they do not~,ssss'"
 Dr. Douglas found supporters as well as opponents in the congress, but as it was not a legislative body no action was taken. Possibly action will come at the end of long agita- tion many years hence.
