The socialist writer grows indig-
nant because we disputed the asser-
tion that millions are starving in
this country. Our vest pocket
Webster dictionary defines the word
starve-"To perish with hunger. +"
Any one is welcome TO the belief
that millions are perishing with
hunger in this country, but we
don't believe IT, Many grow hun.
cry at times, no doubt, but they
are not perishing. The socialist
writer wants us to discuss the plat.
form of socialism. Let us look at
IL for a moment. Collective
ownership of lands" aud then "pri.
vate ownership of a home" What
does that mean the government
shall own the land and the indi.
vidual the shell or house upon itl
Private ownership of wealth. ."
Even at Sfo per day, after deduct.
ing bound to be excessive taxes,
living expenses, etc, how many
could become wealthy II all
things are to be supplied by the
by the government at cost why not
make the wages 600 per dayl
The order on the government stores
would be just as valid, the shin
plasters would be just that much
thicker, and all would become
wealthy In no time. My, but ism I
II awful what graiters and eXtor
tionists these socialists are' The
idea OF requiring ten dollars per day
Of 20 minutes work Even Rockc
feller or Morgan would be shocked
at such a magnificent graft What
would other governments think OF
us' Aud how quickly the country
would become populated from all
parts OF the earth, aud the beauty
OF II would be that the more people
who come the less time IL would
require for a days work Possibly
with little hustling among other
nations OF the earth enough people
could be induced To come here to
reduce the time to ten minutes per
day and maintain the $40 per diem
wage. No wonder the socialists
are so enthusiastic over the propo.
sition.

The Underwriters are certainly
proving a great boon to the electri.
clans, aud as result they have
been reaping a rich harvest Many
changes were ordered in electrical
wiring of some of the principal
buildings, some seemingly without
reason, which even the electricians
admit do not lessen the danger. 1t
almost looks like the underwriters
were making their autocratic rul.
ings for the benefit of the electri-
clans. Some of the property own.
ers who have had to dig down deep
into their pockets to pay the high
cost of rewriting are not feeling par

According to the action of the
council Tuesday evening, the tele-
phone company is quite apt to soon
get in the tolls. Under its fran
chise il could not collect higher
rates than the maximum rates
charged at the time the franchise
was granted It is high time this
company be brought back to the

OF which make for at least an appear
ance Of maturity which Is something
quite different from the young girl
airs OF recent time.
Now. OF course. most women OF 40
regard themselves as quite young and
sportive creatures, but there has al.
ways been an exception to this frisky
rule, and some Of them have never
cared for going out In their figure"
as It 80 expressiyely phrased. In
summer, however, It has always been
admittedly difficult to find anything
to wear that was loose and cool with
out being dowdy.
Some OF the new wraps seem at
least to be Just what we have been
looking for and TO take the place
with older women OF the ruffles which
In reality are only suited to the
youthful wcarer. Little fichus OF black
lace are edged with a rifle OF silk
and hource Of Killed chiffon with a
ribbon finish, and tied In front with
loops Of satin, and these give dec.
oratiye finish to gown. A simple
tichu Of fine silk lace is bordered with
satin and fr!nged on the lower end. a
chou and loops OF ribbon catching It
in front.
Some OF the capes have deep stole
ends in front and others affect the
form OF the bolero. Mostly OF chan.
tilly or lace, there are others which
are more practical and are made OF
face cloth arranged to fall full over
the shoulders and pointed toward the
waist at the back, while the fronts
also meet in point.

CHAIRMAN OF THE EUGENIcs CONFERENCE

Darwin's theory Of evolution, the
survival OF the nttest and the infu-
ence Of environment in the develop
ment Of organic life, has provoked
much controversy, and has sometimes
been allowed to remain In the dim do
main Of speculation like the atomic
theory Of Epicurus or the Platonic sys-
tenn Of ideas. II has at last been
recognized as something practical In
the social life OF the human race. The
most sober-minded Of physicians,
economists. and philanthropists have
acknowledged that the improvement
Of the race. the promotion Of Its hap
piness, and the prevention Of many
moral errors depend very largely upon
a recognition Of such laws as that Of
heredity. The parents Of the coming
generation are to be looked to for the
furthering Of the races happiness In
