GLORYS IN DEFEAT
OF SOCIALISM
TO the Editor Of THE TIMES:

TO the Editor Of THE TIMES:
To those who have given serious
thought to socialism and all that its
philosophy stands for. there is nothing
really surprising in the result of the
recent election in Milwaukee.
After two years trial that city has
overthrown its socialist administration.
and henceforth will be pointed to as a
practical example of the failure of
socialistic government.
Business men and conservative citi-
zens were tired of socialistic expert
ments, by reason of which Mayor Seidel
was turned down in his candidacy for a
renewal by a large plurality, and the
boastful Berger, OF course, walks the
plank along with him. Three-fourths
Of the aldermen elected are anti
socialists.
During their term of office the social
list officials of Milwaukee. who had
promised to do things for the city that
should prove how well they know the
art of government, managed to squan-
city's business In a way that demon
strated how different is socialism in
practice from socialism in theory.
+ must be admitted. however. that
has served one useful purpose. namely,
the bringing voters together on citizen
ship and not partisan prejudice. Party
lines were wiped out in the election
famous.
The best Democrats and Republicans
got together and after making scrap
iron Of their old political machines, de-
feated the Socialists.
In city elections national issues are
not involved. The one issue Is good
municipal government: hence it Is graft
flying to know that the good govern
election in Milwaukee.

SEAMAN A. KNAPP.

To have lived long life, to have worked hard,
and to have left the fruits of that labor to posteri
is to have realized to the full the opportunity that
comes to man with his birth. Seaman A. Knapp
lived seveny-seven years and most of them he
devoted to hard work. That the fruits Of his labor
endure was attested in that remarkable memorial
meeting held in Nashville Tuesday.
DR.. Knapp loved the farm and believed in the
farmer He sought to improve the one and to aid
the other. While his service both in and out of the
Department Of Agriculture was national in scope, he
did more for the South than for other sections
because the South needed him more.
Fifteen men from fifteen Southern States testi-
fed in the memorial meeting at Nashville that their
people we're glad to acknowledge an inextinguishable
debt to this man of science. Senator Fletcher
expressed the feelings of all the speakers when he
said: Words are weak messengers to convey ade-
quate appreciation of the service of man who made
ten bushels Of corn to grow where grew before.

A VICIOUS PIECE OF LEGISLATION.

Congressman Prouty Of Iowa has introduced a

step toward such prevention IS un-

SAYS AMERICA Is
ON THE DECLINE

BERLIN, July Is. The United
States has reached its period of de.
cline, is announced by aron n. Won
arnekow, a widely Travelled German,
who contributes to the Reichsbote, a
Berlin newspaper, an article summar.
izing impressions he gained on the
latest Of his many visits to America.
Articles OF this nature are not infre.
qnent In the German press. but ordin
arily they are written with such a
manifest animus that they deserve no
notice. Baron Won Barnekow, on the
contrary, writes in a matter Of fact
way; without trace of anti-American
FEELING, and appears to be genuinely
glad to be able to see some hope that
the decline may be arrested.
That this decline has begun, writes
the Baron, must be observed by any
person who visits America after an
absence OF a few years. The change
for the worse has been very rapid.
The scenes that have attended the
Republican campaign for the Pres.
idential nomination are. but one indi.
cation of the change, which is mark.
ed by hitherto unknown indiffer.
ence, tendency TO let things take
their course; by an unhealthy and ex.
cessfve self-appreciation and a general
coarsening of moral views.
All these, says Baron Won Rarne
kow are products of the last few
years. The moral coarsening has
worked down from the top, from the
newly rich. Another indication of de,
cay is the alleged fact that the Amer.
lean intolerance of the drone, of the
gentleman of leisure. is beginning to
disappear. Suggested as a pos sible
contributing cause of the decline is
the fact that the birth rate among the
old American families is falling of
while Il remains high among the
South European immigrants. The old
families of the New England States
and of the South have as yet been less
affected by the demoralizing tendency
of present American affairs than the
people of any other section.
1t is, however, in the farmers of the
United States that Baron Won Barne
kow secs possibility of arresting the
downward movement AS yet, he says
they have not been touched by the
moral decline.
