Our Conclusion.
Cooperation has undoubtedly sue
ceeded In Ireland. It deserves to sue
coed because it stands for uniformly
high quality of farm products, for fair
dealing, for just returns to those fur
nishing the product, for Justice to the
consumer, as well as producer, for
good, clean business methods, for
skilled management, for community
loyalty and solidarity. Cooperation
will succeed In the United States
whenever it stands for these things.
II it does not, it will fail. The soon.
or the cooperative enthusiast learns
that cooperation, like every other en-.
terprise, must succeed on its merits.
not on some mysterious inherent vir-
tue, the better. Nothing could be
more unwise at this time than to
preach the doctrine that cooperation
in itself should be introduced any.

Branting, the Social Democratic par
tvs president, characterized it few
days ago in the riksdag as question
of predominant academic interest. It
is also true that certain things have
happened recently that have given
the subject certain actuality, and
from demonstration of workingmen
that marched through the streets of
Stockholm to the parliament building
there was occasionally heard the cry:
Long live the republic" But the best
proof that this was not considered
dangerous for law and order was the
fact that the police paid no attention
to it.
That August Strindberg was a man
of genius whose point of view was dis
torted on the sex question is brought
out in a singularly interesting man.

of the renowned Swedish author
which appeared some time ago.. Re-
senting what he considered the un.
the popular conception of woman, he
devoted himself to the somewhat I'M
gracious task of smashing her back
to the rear of the tents, where she
belongs" to quote from another anti
feminist. In one Strindberg novel,
which is close study of a man of
culture who is banished, by his ap-
po1ntment as commissioner of fisher
les, to a distant seaboard, the au-
thor's unfortunate obsession warps
what could otherwise have been a
realistic study of psychological value.
AS it is, the story is sordid, and its
effect depressing. The picture of the
ignorant peasants among whom he
lives is probably truthful, but it shows
them almost incredibly superstitious
and limited. The Red Room was
one of the earlier novels by Strind-
berg, written shortly after his first
experience of literary success. In it
he turned about to lash, with his Bit

| which had so long delayed recogni-

| deals with the Bohemian life of Stock
holm as it was some forty years ago,
region peopled by hungry pinched
poets, out'at-elbow artists, aspiring
actors, penniless philosophers and

ably have less significance for the

Danish crows are certainly on to
their business, judging from the fol-
lowing item: "A trainman tells in q
newspaper that on several occasions
he had seen crows carry something
from the Soro forests and place It on
the rails. One day he improved his
opportunity to find out what the crows
we're doing. He found that they
placed hazelnuts on the rails. When
the train came the nuts were crushed.
Afterwards the crows returned and
ate up the kernels. In other words,
the wise birds used the railway trains
Of the kingdom of Denmark as nut
crackers"
The tobacco raisers of Denmark
are determined to defend their indus
try. against all inroads of foreign
trusts, especially the American To.
bacco trust, and have therefore or
ganized Danish tobacco trust, whose
chief aim will be to keep all foreign
tobacco trusts out Of the market In
Denmark. It looks as though the
movement would be successful, too.
