| We socialists are grateful for this frank
utterance by Mr.. Masterman. II is simply
in line with the statement OF one OF our
great capitalists: Business is war" II Is
hardly necessary to quote the well known
words OF General Sherman regarding war.
The people are beginning TO understand
! the anti-social. anti-religious, anti"ethical
nature OF capitalism and its power over the
worker.
We socialists contend. however that the
condemnation OF capitalism is not the
equivalent Of condemning capitalists as
such They are benefciaries OF our pres
ent pernicious system, while the workers
are the victims. As feudalism grew out OF
n previous social order. so capitalism has
succeeded feudalism. and the world now Is
in transition toward new social ORDER

great democracy is thinking Of socialism as

and his type can make the most OF IT,
But the limit OF vituperation - reached
when we socialists are accused OF destroy
ing religion. I am SURPRISED that Dr. Pallen
considers religion Of such fragile nature
that any person or organization OF per-
sons can by any possible means destroy 1t.
Cardinal O'COnnell. OF Boston, While ne
was archbishop. made statement 10 the
effect that socialism would destroy Cod
and religion. This is attributing super
natural power TO socialism. Surely this Is
an unwarranted extension Of the power or

says:

Where Scars Are PrIzed.

The natives of some of the islands
Of the Pacific are always glad to sea
the doctor on his periodical visits. At
Kaiser Wilhelm's harbor the German
government has stationed DR.. Heise-
gang as medical officer. He is busy
man. Natives by the dozen come to
him, not to be treated for illness, but
to get the benefit OF his professional
opinion on how to scar themselves ar.
ustically.
The natives are very fond OF scars,
and nearly all Of them are covered
with specimens which have resulted
from self-infiicted wounds which were
kept open by frequent scratching or
by the introduction OF foreign sub.
stances like sand, bamboo, shells and
so forth. The excrescence which re-
suits from the average vaccination is
scratched of at the proper time, and
the resulting large scar is very dear
to the native.

Coronation Sermons.

In the old days. when prelates were
constantly called upon for sermons
on special occasions. they frequently
either paid for suitable discourse or
begged some competent friend to
lite ono for the occasion. Bishop
nanson gained general applause in
1853 for q sermon preached In West.

the day Of thanksgiving appointed
to be observed for the signal sue
cesses with which his majesty's arms
had been blessed" An enthusiastic
vote OF thanks was passed by the
house of lords to the preacher "for his
eloquent and excellent DISCOURSE" and
he was requested to cause the same
to be forthwith printed and pub
hshed." It was announced as the
work OF James. by Divine Provi.

many years afterward the fact was
disclosed that every word Of this ser.
