SOCIALISM is peculiar ailment
preached by the fellow who works
little and wants half of what the
other fellow works for. AS soon
as man gets busy and makes an
independent living and accumlates
a little property he is no longer a
socialist. Division does not ap.
peal to him then. Addition and
multiplication is more popular
with the thrifty man. An ex-
change aptly remarks that the
farm will be the salvation of the
politics of the future. The man
who gains possession of bit OF
land from which he will make an
independent living will not be
disposed to give up any portion of
his red bull, or his white heifer,
or his horse of his ass or even a
bantam pullet to any fellow who
comes along claiming a division.

ROOSEVELT has a particularly
happy way of calling things by
their right names and it makes not
particle of difference to him who
is hit or hurt. In a recent address
he declares the leaders of the labor
unions have no right to stigmatize
the arrest of Mcnamara as plot.
They should wait for the facts in
the matter and not fly to the defense
of alleged dynamiters, as the vital
issue is murder, not organized
labor. He thinks that the unions
lose the moral support by such
actions and does not hesitate to say
so.

you see him suffer keenly for to
help his fellow man, if you say
he is Christian you may give

Christians invite people to kneel
down, to ask for Gods forgive
ness His pardon for to feel; do
not stand there idly watching.
Start right in and mock-with
your ever ready hammer, and
knock, knock, knock.
When you see a girl who fell
once-trying to live Alright, by
working hard and honest, by
praying day and night, when
she goes to church and tries to
be a member of the flock-for
fear you'll loose your saint-ship,
you must knock, knock, knock.
And when you die your road

way, hell is ever open to you
both night and day, go down
the path called Knockers lane
to gate with a big lock-the
devil will be waiting there
when you knock, knock, knoch.

THE argument that we are get
ting the bad end of the bargain in
offering a market with ninety
million patrons as an even ex-
change for one with nine million,
falls by the wayside when put
alongside the fact that where these
ninety million people are buying
one dollars worth of goods from
the nine million, the nine million
are now buying two dollars worth
of the ninety million. How long
would that sort of trade have to be
continued to effect us in harmful
way? asks the Winona indie

We are a bit different from Russia
in our treatment of both capital
and labor. We notice the leading
socialists, who are really anarchists,
are asking the public to assist the
cause of the dynamiters. 1t is
always the other fellow who is
asked to furnish the money.

Starve a Cold,

Nature, as rule, takes the appetite
away when one is coming down with
a cold or other infections disease, and
nature is wise. Don't coax Mary to
eat when she has cold Don't allow
the neighbors to tempt Johnny with
calf's foot jelly or other dainties.
When suffering from a cold the diges-
tive organs are in no condition to care
for food. The digestive juices are al
tered or entirely absent. One or two
days comparative fast will often as
sist in averting severe siege of cold.
A more convenient and enjoyable form
of fasting would be to subsist for one
or two days upon fruit or fruit juices
perhaps, with the addition of a little
toast. An exclusive fruit diet has all
the practical advantages of complete
fasting, while it satisfies the appetite
and supplies sugar from which the liv-
er can manufacture glycogen to sus-
tain the white blood corpuscles in
their continuous warfare against mi
crobes.-William S. Sadler in Designer.

Fate of Portuqal's Homer.

"Tbe Lusiad" is one of the noblest
records ever written of national glory
and success. Camoens, its gifted au-
thor, determined to do for Portugal
what Homer had done for Greece. The
great poem was written in the six
teenth century, which has been called
the heroic age of Portugal. and its
main feature is the rounding of the
Cape of Good Hope by Vasco da Cana,
while most interesting episode Is
the crowning after death of Inez de
Castro as queen of Portugal. "The
Lusiad' took its name from Lusius,
who was said to have founded Lisbon.
Its author was born about 1920, and
his career, which began brilliantly,
was blighted by the death of broken
heart of the lady of his love, for whose
sake he was banished from the land
He wrote "The Lusiad' in his banish-
ment and was recalled in 1871, losing
on the way all his property except his
poem. Pensioned at first by the king,
this great epic poet Of Portugal died
in great poverty in 1870, when his
patron was also dead.

COREY RESIGNS.
Steel Corporation to Do
Without a President.
HAS SERVED StVEN YEAR
In 1907, When He Married Mabelle Gil
man, the Actress, It Was Rumored
That He Would Quit - Latest
Move Came Suddenly.

New York. Jan f. William Ellis
Corey, president of the United States
Steel corporation since the resignation
of Charles NJ. Schwab the first preSi
dent, seven years ago, rendered his
formal resignation at a regular meet
ing of the finance committee. To al
intents and purposes the resignation
has been accepted. 1t will come form
ally before the board of directors at
their regular quarterly meeting Jan
20. They will accept it.
Even to some of the directors of the
company Mr.. Corey's resignation came
as surprise. To other men in the
financial district connected with the
company it was as great a surprise as
was the announcement of George w
Perkins retirement from the firm of
J. =. Morgan a. Co.
In 1907, when Mr.. Corey married Ma
belle Gilman, the actress, it was wide
ly reported that he would be succeed
ed as president and there was a fac
ton of the board which rather openly
favored his retirement 1t is under
stood that his retirement now has no
rela ation to his domestic affairs.
The office of president will remain
vacant for some time, if not forever
1t long has been subordinate to the
craftsmanship of the board and the
Craftsmanship of the finance committee
Up to about four years ago George
w. Perkins was chairman of the
finance committee. but was then sue.
ceeded by Judge Elbert H. Gary, who
was then, as now, chairman of the
board of directors. Judge Gary since
has been the actual head of the com.
pany.
Mr.. Corey was born in Braddock
Pa, in 1866 and was educated in the
public schools. At the age of sixteen
he went into the chemical laboratory
of the Edgar Thomson Steel works at
Pittsburg and from there went on to
Homestead, and in 1887 he became su-
perintendent of the plate mill at the
Thomson works. His next change was
when he went with the Carnegie Steel
company. He followed Mr.. Schwab as
president of the Carnegie company
and in the summer of 1903 became an
assistant to Mr.. Schwab in the United
States Steel corporation and then sue
ceeded him as president.
Mr.. Corey's first wife was Laura
Cook of Braddock, Pa. whom he mar
ried when he was a young man in
Braddock Mrs. Corey got a divorce
from her husband in 1906 in Nevada.
and the following May Mr.. Corey was
married TO Mabelle Gilman, the ac-
tress. The second Mrs. Corey spends
much of her time at her chateau at La
Verriere, near Paris.

LOST BOYS COME BACK.
Spent Night at Lighthouse Aiding Ex-
hausted Keeper.


New York, Jan. 4.-Raymond a. Collins
and William Rothkranz, two Larch.
mont boys believed lost, cut their way
through the fog wall over the sound
back to their homes after searching
parties on land and water and mes
sages through the air had probed the
muddling white bank all night to find
them. The two came home only after
they had worked all night as auxil
iaries in the government lighthouse
service.
They kept the horn going They held
in their hands the safety of ships at a
time when the tender of the horn was
worn almost to collapse by thirty-six
hours of ceaseless strain alone in the
lighthouse. Though lost themselves
and knowing that their parents must
be searching for them, the two young
sters from Larchmont stuck by the
light until relief came to the tender.
Then they groped their way through
the white wilderness to their home.
