The New Books
Romance ut College.

The BrentOns," the new story by
Anna Chaplin Ray, is careful and
sympathetic story of personalities
who solve their peculiar mental and
spiritual problems against the back
ground of a University City. Bren-
ton, the principal character, is the
popular rector of the college church,
who adops the ministry to please his
mother and because his ancestry
shows an unbrOken line of parsons.
But Brenton is born chemist. and
his efforts to make church doctrines
agree with scientific laws results in
mental struggle that ultimately
drives him from the pulpit TO the
laboratory.
Though Brenton dominates the
story. diversity of interest is intro
duced the love story of Olive kelt-
ridge and Reed Opdyke, by the social
development of BrentOns wife. and
by those delightful cronies, DIR. kelt-
ridge and the senior Opdyke.
Miss Rays style is polished, direct
and incisive. Her characters are
human and wholesome, with high
ideals. and their difficulties are the
sort that beset normal. right living.
intelligent people. She brings to
their depletion and analysis a keen
mentality and a trained workman

ONE BIRTHDAY IN FOUR.

SO far as known there has been no
movement to organize club of
those persons whose birthdays had
pened to coincide with February 90.
Are these people satisfied with the
arrangement or would they prefer to
see a change in the calendar?
There may be some advantages in
having but one birthday in four
years. 1t is pOpularly supposed that
some persons cease having birthdays
after a certain age. but that isn't
the fault Of the calendar.
There is just one chance in 1,461
that your birthday will occur Febru-
AIRY 80. February 80 comes but
once in four years, other years hav-
ing but 36J days. A club of persons
born on February 80 would. there
fore, be quite exclusive.
What becomes of those other three
birthdays? This question calls for
profound thought. What has Sher-
lock Holmes or W. J. Burns to say
on this point? Can man have four
birthdays in one?
OF course February 80 has gone,
but for the benefit of those persons
who have had their first birthdays in
four years. We suggest that some ar
rangement be made for future years
Our calendar ought to guarantee a
birthday anniversary. to every man

What Is Socialism?

for the dinosaur that was destroying
them. here was the beginning of So
ciety. Well. he was correct in this.
for until these monkeys got together
and agreed to work for each other
there was no sign of progression.
And this is what the Socialists recOg-
nize as fundamental at the present
time. The derivation of the word will
tell the story of the movement and
why there is power in it.
Socialism will try to make men
live and not just exist as many of
them do at the present day. The la
borer comes home at night like a
tired OK. fiji for nothing but to roll
over on his bed. Socialism will try
to make time for him to read books
and raise himself above the level
where he has been for SO long.
There are facts on which to base
the working principles Of socialism.
And the man who studies these facts
is impressed From the bureau of
statistics taken from the files Of Ia
Dor and commerce records. it is
shown that the average wealth pro-
duction OF the persons of the United
States i'll a year is nearly 81, 900. yet
when il comes to the average wage
per capita for a year the figure is
somewhere about $500. Two thOus-
and dollars have gone somewhere.
America is advertised as nation
of homes. but it should be said they
are rented ones. Seventy per cent
of the people who live in houses are
renters. This means that somebody
is getting the money that these
householders should keep.
The notion that the socialists de-
mand a dividing up of wealth is alb
surd. What We do want is that the
man who produces somewhere near
$2500 year shall get some of his
I pfotuttloN over 9'"' get ooiiiC vi
that $2.0oo that has gone into the
pockets of other men. This is the
dividing up that We mean.
THE trusts are a good thing, for
they furnish the most economical
way of producing goods. The wrong
is that the people do not have share
i'll the ruling OF them.
"Fifty-siX per cent Of the wealth
of the United States is owned by one
per cent of the people This is one
of the things that Socialism will try
TO correct.
THE whole text of the movement
is that no one liveth to himself, and
no one dieth to himself Many men
think opposite to this. the anarchists
for instance. They go against the
law and thus against the people.
| socialists are criticized for being
idealsts. and having nothing that
can be put into use at the present.
This comes from those who stand on
the outside and do nothing to remedy
the conditions that are found around
them. The socialist. however may
do his share of the work in trying to
put the living of the present gener-
alton on a basis that will be more
| logical. Persons who have given the
movement a black eye are those that
have gone on their impulses instead
, of acting on cool knowledge. This
! is the reason education of the mass
es is so eagerly advocated +. r. F.

What is Socialism? Scarcely any
two persons who are not intimately
acquainted with the movement will
agree on definition Socialists

son who does not know how to run it,
becomes dangerous and will likely be
wrecked. What brings discredit to
Socialism at present is the fact that
there are those who do not know the
workings of il. and thus misuse it,
What We are trying for at the
present time is the education of the
people to what it means, for i'm this
way can the best be got out of it, 1t
is because the people who stand for
its ideals are not educated more fun
damentally in what they stand for
that the movement lacks the power
it might have.
Some persons say Socialism is a
hundred years ahead of its time
whether this be 50 or not. what the
socialists can do is to see that during
the time they are here on earth the

| What the Socialists want in this mat
ter is collective ownership and demo-
cratic control. The pOstOffice system
at the present time is an example of
the collective ownership, but the
control is bureaucratic, the same as
is found in Russia

special emphasis should be laid on
the education of those people who
had anything to do with Socialism.
