followed the enjoyment was somewhat
that the professor might suffer bodily
injury. The platform was high and
small. and Mr.. Hadley threw h1mseiI

he proceeded in his argument, he would
gradually advance toward the edge. On
this he sometimes balanced himself on
his toes for minutes at time-the
students in front momentarily prepared
to catch him when he toppled over. At
the critical moment, however, he

LONDON, September Sin the midst
of the great European war England
has one socialist leader who stands
out pre-eminently against war. In

AS the opponent of war and the
critic of the government Hardie is
sore thorn in the side of the British
press. Here are some of the news

tude:

the hour of its agony. We are con
WINGED that he spoke only for him

rallied to the British government $
faithfully as the Irish nationalist. Mr.
Kerr Hardie stands alone, determined
to satisfy his inordinate vanity by
making capit1l out of the public mis-
fortune and attracting to himself at
tent which his real standing in his
party and the country does not for
moment deserve.

Abraham Lincoln was attacked by one
Vallandigham for carrying on the war
against slavery. Lincoln, of all nine

the enemy whose cause he had SO
warmly espoused. So. Mr.. Kerr Hardfe

matters have estimated that the war
is now costing the combatants $4,000
900 a day Some Frenchmen have call
culated that it is costing France alone
s20,000,000 daily.
How is this tremendous burden OF
war outlay to be met? That is the
problem which the fnanciers in the
European cabinets are graphing While
the tacticians are planning new army
moves. 1t is obvious even to TIE iay-
man that the productive power OF a
country at war is greatly. reduced, II
not absolutely paralyZed. Industry OF
every sort is hard hit by the with
drawal of the thousands, and In tais
war millions Of men, who are taken
from The fields, shops and factories
and placed in uniform for the purpose
of blowing away powder in shooting
each other
Such producing power as remains is
utilized in making the Inater1GiS OF
war arms, ammunition. clothing ana
food for the armies.
In France the Official estimate OF the
rental value of private structures,
is about $7O6.OO0.000 annually. IL,
therefore, $2O0OO.0O0 a day is required
for the French army now in the field
the value of the rentals of the nation
for a whole year was licked up IN
thirty-six days; it is already gone.
This is just one item to illus trate
and bring home to the average man
the effect of war. Who will say that
under any form of taxation such bur

directly, though the enhanced rental
of stores and shops, upon the price OF
what he buys?
