BRIEF AND BREEZY

When he returned from Africa Col.
Roosevelt should have brought back
his own supply of black delegates.
The ease with which Eugene Debs
gets nominated creates a suspicion
that the socialist party is developing
steam roller tendencies.
One reason why the Colonel did not
shoot the steam rollers pneumatic
tires full of holes is the fact that
the steam roller does not wear them.
Seriously, why not hand few bou-
quets to the graduate? He will re-
member them gratefully in the oc-
casional melancholy days to come.
One pleasant thing about moving
pictures is the elimination of the in
human dialect exploited by so many
actors.
People who would never think of
buying worthless mining stock will
occasionally purchase a preseason
WdIcTuGIOU.
Doubtless Mr.. Hines and Mr.. Lori
mer think the steam roller Is do
ing all that rolling just to vindicate
them.
Why this Juror over the United
States Official who was once an Of
flee boy? A good many of them are
yet.
1t does not seem as II anyone
could ever be as bad as the rival pol
itical managers say their opponents
are.
From the London College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons comes the an
nouncement Of an anaesthetic of great
er powers than ever before known.
We suggest that some of 1t be pre-
pared for the use of defeated delega-
tioins when they come to pay their
hotel bills.
Sixteen years have passed since

fifty-two he has In measure, been

Excerpts OF Opinion from the Leading Writers of Today
Rev. John A. Peake.

TIL Currnt Golfers contains an ed
itorial note of some interest entitled
"Vox Populi."
The Referendum held by Kansas
City Street Railways last month to
discover whether passengers approx.
ed or disapproved of permitting smok
ing on the cars had an odd conclu-
sion.
Without waiting to find out what
the public thought about the matter
the Mayor signed an ordinance which
made smoking lawful The company
had arranged that the voting should
last for week-a ballot with every
fare. The conductor Is orders were
that If anyone should attempt to
smoke in the meanwhile the proper
procedure was to pull the bell rope
and not start the car again until the
fire was out. A million and half
votes were cast, and mo- had a
majority of three hundred thousand
After the discovery that sentiment
opposed the new ordinance, the uppe
House voted to repeal the law, only
one voice lacking to make the ballot
unanimous.
The Lower House however, stood
by the smokers, eight to six, and the
street railways had to resign to the
will of the aldermen.
But here comes a most interesting
example of the compelling force of
public opinion. Though the city law
permits smoking, Difference to a SEN
timent that favors better manners has
become an unwritten law that forbids
it; so that no city that permits
smoking on street cars sees so little
of it nowadays as Kansas City.
July Scribners contains two articles
of more than passing interest, one
on "The Garden Cities of England"
the other portraying "Model Towns
in America. In the first named ar
ticle we read
The helplessness of the English
cities baffled for years by the ten
ement problem, by high disease and
rates, and increasing poor
taxes, has been changed to hope
and enthusiasm. In a few years time
4 score of public and semi-public
garden developments have sprung up
n different parts of the country.
Most of these undertakings are trib- !,
ltary to city. But all of them mark
he abandonment of the barrack like
and monotonous cottages of
few years ago and the substitution

ations underlies all of the new

housing projects.
The garden communities of Lltch.
worth, Hampstead, Bournville and
Port Sunlight have demonstrated that
clean, wholesome, comfortable cot
tages are possible for everybody and
at the very low rent of from five
dollars month upward, They have
demonstrated too that. life is length
ened, the death and infant mortality
rate is reduced, and labor is more
efficient in these open-air communi-
ties than in the cities, and that work
ing people gladly follow their en-
ployers to these more attractive sur
roundings.
In the building of garden villages
three things are recognized as fun
damental: one, the purchase of a
large area of low-priced agricultural
land in advance of any development;
two, the permanent control of the
whole area, as we'll as of the streets,
open spaces, and building regulations
by the corporation of the city; and
three, the reservation by the commun
ity, through the private corporation
promoting the enterprise, of the in
creasing land values which the build
ing of the community creates. The
garden city is in effect it's own
ground landlord. Indirectly 1t is
a house builder and house owner.
1t operates through a private corpora
ton which owns the land, pledged
by it's charter to limit its dividends
to five per cent on the capital actu
ally invested, and to use the specu-
lative increase of land values for the

In these days Of rapid reforms, in
surgents'' and progressive" politi-
clans, it is sometimes perplexing to
the person who has the interests OF
society at heart to know just where
he is at" In other words, he can't tell
the difference between the things the
Socialist means to do for society and
those the other parties or reformers
promise to do, and are doing. Wnen
Socialists get some power, as they
have done in certain localities, they
at once busy themselves with such
measures as cleaning the streets,
looking into tenement laws with a
view of lettering housing conditions
taking steps toward shortening hours
Of work, enforcing factory inspection,
prohibitin child labor, demanding
payment of taxes by the rich, andlso
on, and so on. To all of which the
social reformer heartily agrees. Even
club women will agree with every
measure ever introduced by Socialists
in any locality in the United States.
Where, then, is the difference, asks
the well-meaning reformer, between
thew ork of the Socialists, and that
of other individuals and parties who
also work for shorter hours for labor,
for sanitary homes, and better civic
conditions? And he has a right to his
question. Also, his question should be
answered ever SO often, that he may
not forget the answer and may finally
come to understand its meaning.
The reformer, through spirit OF
altruism, and a hazy understanding
that it would be better for society as
whole, would make conditions bet
ter for the Oppressed classes" The
Socialist would have the oppressed
classes" which is the working class,
as a whole, make conditions better for
itself, to the end that it might finally
come into control of the laws which
regulate the conditions under which it
| lives.

I. No. No. 80
You can't make criminals by q bad
environment and then make them
good by hanging them.
Socialism proposes a system IN
which there shall be no big Robber

dow and who teaches the people how
to be bad by the use of the dram
shop, the brothel, the gambling den'
the yellow press.
Socialism proposes a clean, just
decent environment in which it will
be easy to do right and hard to DO
wrong.
Socialists do not believe that socl-
ETY. can rid itself of crime by killing
the criminals, but rather by doing
away with the conditions that pro-
duce criminals. a
