All this time foxy Joe was rap

In the American association.
In addition to his pitching
star, Gregg, Manager Birming-
ham has the comeback, Fred
Falkenberg, a human silver, who
has performed splendidly; Willy
Mitchell, Blanding, Steen and
Baskette, and his recruit south
paw, Cullop, from whom great
things are expected. The team
is well fortified behind the bat.
But the thing that makes
Cleveland look better than ever

Lajoie, supposed to be ready to
retire to his poultry farm last
fall, has taken new lease on
life and his hitting is like that
OF the Napoleon of five or six
years ago. Lajoie Is still the
king of second basemen, the all
important pivot man of the in

Around this trio Birmingham

THE Truth about Socialism" Is q
book written by Allan l. Benson. for
,merly Of The Times, now In New
York. 1t has just been published by
b. w. Huebsch, New York. 1t has
received the endorsement of Eugene
". Debs and Victor l. Berger, as q
clear statement of Socialism for non
Socialists.
Mr.. Benson defines Socialism as the
Ownership by the people, through the
government, Of the machinery Of pro-
duction. He says that this ownership
by all the people will work out just
az nicely as ownership by part of the
people-especially since the part who
own care little or nothing for the part
who don't own. why Socialists
preach discomfort" and How the peo-
pie may acquire the trusts" are two
of his chapter-heads. Mr.. Benson Is
opposed 70 the conhscation OF private
property by the government; he be-
be compensated. There IL nothing
wild-eyed about his Socialism.
Taking up the question OF militar-
ism, Mr.. Benson declares that So
cialism II the foe of war. He holds

billions Of the capitalistic class for
the control Of more. natural resources.
"lt IL not sweet to die for Cecil
Rhodes, for Rothschild or anyone
else-1t II sweet to die for ones
country And thousands Of men take
the bait" he says.
Taking the coal Bftuxrfuu H case
in point, Mr.. Benson argues that all
methods Of providing the people with
an adequate and certain supply OF
coal have been proven uncertain and
shaky. "A government that can dig
the Panama canal can dig COAL" he
argues. and he declares that. having
no special interests to guard. 1t
would dig coal. and. moreover, take
better care OF its miners than the
private operators do. Mr.. Benson
blames the capitalistic system for the
fact that the death rate OF the United
States IL 1875 per thousand compared
with New Zealand's 9.5. New Zea-
land does not sacrifice her people to
private greed" he says. America
does.'
The book IL not one which would
create enthusiasm In the mind Of q
man set In his belief that the present
industrial system Is the best possible
system: but on the other hand. It II

less likely to stir up his antagonism
than most Socialist handbooks. Mr..
Benson does not denounce indi-
yiduals; he Is too wise for that. He
blames conditions, and suggests a
remedy. The book will appeal TO the
thoughtful who desire a concise ex-
preston Of Socialist thought and
argument. Mr.. Benson Is lover Of
the short sentence, the terse style.
He has written clearly and forcefully;
he discusses his subject from the
practical. not the technical side.
Those who want to know what Karl
Marx thought, will be disappointed.
Mr.. Benson has written for present
day America, and he discusses the
problems now before the American
people In terms OF American politics.
