SOCIALISM IN MILWAUKEE.

Milwaukee's message to the country today is that 1t has had enough of so- cialisrn in It's municipal business.
 The strongly anti sociaiistic ticket headed by those bitter and uneompro- missing assailauts of socialism. Bad ing. Carney and Kotecki carried the election by heavy pluralities.
 The non partisan platform hluntlyI declared that antl-socialism vs. SO cialism was the paramount issue. The issue was sharpened by the SC lection of such militant and uncom- promising anti socialists as Bading and Carney to head the ticket.
 The non partisan committee deter mined to force that issue to the fore, and to drum into the mind of the cleo torate that such was the issue. The result of the voting yesterday signally and splendidly vindicates their politi- cal judgment.
 A dual end has been gained: The socialists have been swept out of power: the magnitude of the anti socialist vote demonstrates to the country that Milwaukee is not and never has been socialist city. and therefore city for capital and indus trial enterprise to fight shy of.
 For since socialism Is frankly and essentially anti-capitalistic. capital may very reasonably presume that il will not at a pinch get square deal in a socialist city.
 This election removes that most re- tarding presumption from the city of Milwaukee.
 For the country at large. here Is the rationale of the general situation in a nutshell:
 Two years ago the socialists were elected on the strength of their prom ises: this spring they are overwhelm- ingly defeated on the weakness of their performances.
 The voters had to pass judgment this year on the actual record of a SocldllSl auillHlSlThllon. Hc hA'hHA tude of the vote that turned the so- ciallsts out of office is the measure of the peoples impression of their fail ure in office.
 To the men who fought and won this campaign. and especially to those ! doughty platform fighters. Mayor 1 elect Bading and Treasurer r-elect Car | ney. our hearty congratulations and | best wishes.

HOW MISTAKES ARE MADE.

To prove that no two men can see the same thing in the same way tests have been made over and over again by professors of psychology. In their classes they have arranged some un- expected action and then have asked the students to describe such action, each in his own words. The invaria-
 ble result has been that no two de- scriptions have been alike. People should always remember this fact

New York, April 4.-To strike or not
to strike is the question placed this
week before all the members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
of the railroads north of Norfolk and
east of Chicago. On April 10 special
meeting of fifty representatives of
eastern and middle western engineers
will be convened in this city to cam
vass the returns.
Indications today point to certainty
of an overwhelming vote in favor of
authorizing Grand Chief Stone, of
Cleveland, to order strike if in his
judgment the situation demands it.
Probably no other union labor head in
the country is so popular among the
men he represents as Mr.. Stone, and
the balloting will be in reality a vote
of confidence in him to settle the diff
ficulty If possible, but to order the
men to quit work if it becomes neces-
sary. In all his long experience as
the head of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers Chief Stone has all
ways come out victor, he has always
made them stick, and it is not be-
lfeved that this time the rupture be-
tween the engineers and the roads
will go so far as to result in a strike.
The ballots distributed among the
engineers read:
DO you authorize your general com
mittee to call strike in the event of
