MARKHAM Socialism.

Marx as prophet. To understand cor

essary to know something of the Marx

1t was in 1918 at Treves, Germany
that Marx was born. His father, q
lawyer, was descended from a LONG
line of Jewish rabbits, while his moth

Dutch. Karl studied at Berlin and
Bonn and received his Doctors degree
in 1841 with an essay on Epicurus
With his extraordinary ability, phil
osophic acumen, breadth of view, and
an unusual corresponding practical
force he might have climbed to the
top of the Prussian bureaucracy; but
for this he was too much of a rebel
too radical, and too honest. Very early
in his career while serving as ar
editor his views brought the wrath oil

was obliged to fly to Paris. There he

Briefly stated the theory which he
worked out is that material interests

which they stand. This epitomizes the
famous "Materialistic Interpretation OF

Using this method he arrived at the

production, distribution, and exchange,
that being the form in which economic
interests have taken in this day To
analyze capital, TO trace its anlece-
dents, TO lay bare its inner nature. and
determining laws became the one sure
path TO an adequate social philosophy
TO this task Marx set himself For
forty years and more he toiled prodig-
iously, Incorporating the results of his
labors at last in his famous Capital,
now published in three volumes. In
that work he shows how the evolution
of industry coupled with other ma
terial changes inevitably created the
capitalist and prOletarian classes. the
characteristic social formation of this
age. Then, with an incisiveness that
cuts like a razor edge, he proceeded tC

came to be, what il is, and what sup

Surplus Value" Theory.
This class, he argues, was created
by surplus value" and by that term
he signifies that all value or wealth
is created by labor, that after the
worker has been given his wage. after
raw materials have been paid for, al
other expenses and the capitalists
own management wage has been paid
there still remains a surplus which is
pocketed by the capitalist. This sur
plus We call profit or dividends. But
since all this value was created by the
collective efforts of the workers il
rightfully belongs to them hence the
appropriation of it by the capitalist is
robbery and constitutes the great so
cial crime of this system.
1t would be bad enough, he declares
for one man to take the proceeds o.
another mans toll, but the matter ii

when we see that one man appropri
ates the products of the toll OF many
men. A system in which the few
possess what the many create is intol

It might be we'll in such case to make a quiet canvass of the clergy, and find several men who would accept the po- sition should the choice fall on one of them. The proposition of the Rev. Mir. Buckley for a coadjutor who should be, practically, a missionary bishop for eastern Connecticut. with a view to making it, eventually, a sep arate diocese, may yet prove the solu- ton of the problem.

UNITED DEPARTMENT STORES
 70 OPEN AT S:s0 O'CLOCK

The United Department stores dur ing the months of July and August will open its stores each morning at 8s30 and will keep open until o'clock each afternoon except Fridays when they will close at 12 o'clock. The management of this thriving and hus- ting department store left the matter of the shorter hour period which has become customary during the last few years in the larger cities throughout the east to their clerks. It was their preference to close one afternoon dur ing the week so as to enable them to better enjoy themselves. It was the managem idea not to open in the morning until S:3O, for as MT. Lynch said today, we have always tried to give our customers the best Of service and we realize that in order to do so we must make conditions in our store agreeable to our clerks. During the summer months a, great many of our clerks live at the nearby beaches and it is hard for those that do to arrive at the store and be ready for work at 8 o'clock in the morning. We think also that our many customers will ap- prectate the fact that we will keep our store open until s o'clock every afternoon except Friday, giving them the opportunity to do their trading in the coolest part of the day.
 The United Department store Is one of the first stores in Bridgeport to introduce the S:3O o'clock opening in the morning. This is only one of the many up-to-date innovations in keep ing with it's ways of doing business. Saturday evenings they will keep open until the usual closing time as it has been customary in the past.

 bishop on the ground of inability to
 do his work, and he thinks that it is not yet time for the diocese to com init itself to the choice of 8 man to be
 his successor in office, as a coadjrtor would be. So the choice seemed to
 be narrowed down to the election of suffragan bishop. Such an election has been held at two successive an- nual conventions, and each time the clergyman elected has declined to ac- cept the office. The suffragan is a bishop-and he isn't. Ecc1esiastica1- ly he has all the powers that attain to the highest order of ministry in the church. He can confirm, ordain. con- secrate churches, lay corner stones, and do all such work as well as his superior in office. He holds his of flee for life. But election as a suffra- gan does not carry with 1t the right of succession to the see. in case of the death or removal of the diocesan. If he should not succeed in gaining the confidence and the liking of the powers that be, he might have to give place to some one else, whom the new
 diocesan might prefer as helper. For this and other reasons, the office of a suffragan bishop does not yet appeal to the strong men among the clergy, and nobody wants any other kind of man to take the important position of

BALDWIN AS
 AN ECONOMIST
CHartford Times )

(Hartford T1mes.)
 The tribute paid to Governor Bald win by Attorney-Genera1 John II. Light in New Haven on Monday will find a ready indorsement among the people of the state. The tribute bor- rows force from the fact that the gov not in accord politically, the former being d Democrat and the latter a Republican. Judge Light said that he had seen many governors and that Governor Baldwin is '.the noblest Roman of them aL.'' Judge Light did not exaggerate in the slightest when he stated that the governor had saved the state millions of dollars. Without stopping to look into the mat prove that the treasury of the state has been saved between $2,OOo.0oo and $s,00o, ,00O by the acts of the gover- nor, and by the policy pursued by him since he first took the oath of office as chief executive in January. 1911.
 The course taken by Governor Bald win may have solved the financial problem which confronted the state. The general assembly at the sessions of 1911 and 1918 created expenses, without providing the means for meet ing them, which would have made an enormous floating debt in addition to the bonded indebtedness. If the gov ernor had not exercised his authority to check the extravagance of the gen eraI assembly and to nu1lify it's acts l the state today would be facing a large deficit with the certainty of an increase that would make the condi- ton of the treasury still more alarm ing.
 Governor Baldwin has insisted on the state,s cutting it's coat according to it's cloth. He has shown the peo- pie that economy and thrift continue to be cardinal virtues with the com monwea1th as we'll as with the citizens who make up it's population and that without the practice of these virtues neither Connecticut nor its people can be prosperous. It is a mistake to say 1 that the governor has crippled insti- tutions which appeal to the benevo- lence of the people. He does not i lack in sympathy with the purpose of the institutions but he believes that l the state should live within its in come. If the plans for the develop ment of some of these institutions cannot be carried out within the next

THF. BEDBUG.

The alleged humor of which the bed bug, or to give him his dignifed Latin name, Cinex Iectular1us, has been the subject should not obscure the serious role played by the bug in common with the fly, the mosquito, the flea and the Iouse as a conveyor of infection. Relapsing fever. bubonic plague, kala- agar, smallpox and typhoid fever have been transmitted by various spe- cies of the bedbug, and possibly the investigator might find here the ex- p1anation of otherwise inexp11cab1e en- dernics in unc1ean1y neighborhoods. Epidernics of smallpox have been dis seninated in cheap 1odging-houses by this poIecat among insects; and were 1t not for the frequent vaccinations compelled by health departments such epidemics would very likely be more frequent than they now are. The bedbug hides during the day and sometimes htbernates during the win ter. When it lacks animal food, it feeds on the juices of decayed wood or on the dust in floor cracks, and can go without food for a long time. It

 The housewife is greatly mortified by the creatures presence under her roof; but she is by no means always blameworthy. It may get into the travellers trunk or satcheI from an uncleanly hotel or sIeeping-car or in wade the home in the laundry or on the clothing: thus Manning witnessed the migration of bedbug across the aisle of a car from g sick man to the skirts of a party of women. Or it may migrate through walls from one house to another, sometimes in a con tfnllous pilgrimage especially when the dwel1ers of an infested house move away, thus cutting off the commissa- riat of the parasite. It may then es- cape through windows as we'll as walls, along water-pfpes or gutters to new pastures. Thus the tidiest housewife may be victinnized. Apart from ordinary dwellings, log cabins easily become infested; ships also en- CoEGe44A the OSODuS considerable de- gree.
