Mme. Adam and tho crinoline.

Mime. Adam has been contiding to an interviewer that she owed her in- troduction to journalism to the fact that she did not wear crinoline at the time when fashion decreed the gar ment. Aphonse Karr, who objected to the crinolines, had been denouncing them in his journal, but had concluded his denunciation with the sentence. "shL, there is not a pretty woman in France who does not wear one" Where upon Mime. Adam, who was then Mile Lambert, took up her pen and wrote: "Mr. Editor-One may be pretty-soms people even say that am beautiful and yet one may abstain from crino- lines" And she went on to develop the thesis. She developed 1t so wittily that Alphonse Karr printed 1t in Le Steele and that was her first contribu- ton to the periodical press of which she has since been one of the pillars.- Westminster Gazette.

in more governmental the state while anarchists contend that the growing power of the state means more oppression" and now, in sup port of this contention, they turn to the governments at war and particu- larly to Germany as an example.
 The International Anarchist Group" with headquarters in San Francisco, says that for two genera tions the socialists of Germany, hav- ing absorbed the labor movement, were really engaged in building up a colossal governmental machine ready for the kaiser's hand" s. T. Hammersmark, secretary of the Ia coma branch, asserts that the social ist teaching that government is the peoples servant and friend is the greatest delusion ever foisted on a credulous world. The anarchists have entered upon a campaign against the "delusion" and the big war affords them occasion for arguments.
 A great many persons think the war will result in changes in the forms of government in Europe. The anarchists hope that the change will be decentralization.
 What did socialism's million Of votes amount to when the kaiser chose to blow the whistler" they ask. The kaiser simply used the govern mental machinery socialists helped to create.
 With the anarchist statement that we already in the United States have an army of officials, "everyone Of whom labor must support" many per sons not anarchists will agree.
 Anarchy is az extreme on the side of individualism as socialism is on the side of collectivism and state con- trol Society leans now toward the former and again toward the latter. It Is between these two extremes that practically all modern governments have moved.-Tacoma News.

cANADA'S SENATE.

The Canada senate is having lit tie excitement with its members, two of whom have forfeited their seats by absence. That body has rule that a certain length of absence without excuse vacates seat. One member just saved himself by join ing the recent emergency session and four more have chance left.
 The Canada senate pays $2,50O per year and deducts $15 per day for ab. sence. In a session of 166 days the pay and deductions would come out even; but as they are generally much shorter than that, the absentee can secure net income without perform. ing even the role of attending. There are number of members who take their functions seriously. The major. ity, however, attend merely to hold their places.
 The trouble with the body is in It's constitution. It's members are nom. mated for life by the governor gen. eral and are nearly always political appointees. But the prospect of eth. CT making it an elective body or of abolishing it altogether is made quite dim by the fact that there is no known provision for an amendment of the Canadian constitution.-Pitts burg Dispatch.

ALL SORTS OF THEORISTS.

All sorts of theorists are availing themselves of the opportunity afford. ed by the war to set forth their views of government. Curiously enough, the anarchists find in the sit. uation what they consider a telling argument against Socialism.
 There is a popular notion that an. archists and socialists hold practical. ly the same political opinions. They are somewhat alike in denouncing the present condition of society, but when it comes to remedy they are wide apart. Socialists would find the cure
