was wrong. IL is common enough to find in Socialist publications-as, for instance, in the last number of the New Review--two articles in close justaposition, one painting the old picture of proletarian destitution, and the other directly asserting that un- deniably the worker today is better off than he ever has been. Those who maintain the second position go on to argue, however, that at the same time that the workers standard of living has been rising, the stand ards of the bourgeois" classes have been rising still more rapidly, so that the curves of welfare for workers and non- workers show wider deviation than ever. Positively, the workers are better off than they ever have been; comparatively, they are worse off. This is the contention of the newer school of Socialist thought EX

AS CHINA SEES THE WHITES.

In his book, "The Chinese Revolu- tion," Arthur J. Brown reprints a paragraph written b a Chinese who had seen much of Europeans and North Americans at Shanghai
 we are always told that the coun- tries of the foreign devils are grand and rich" the Chinese observed, but that cannot be true else what do they all come here for?
 They jump around and kick balls as if they were paid to do it. Again you find them making long tramps into the country; but that is prob ably a religious duty, for when they wave sticks in the air, nobobdy knows why. They have no sense of dig nifty, for they may be found walking with women Yet the women are to be pitied, too On festive occasions, they are dragged around a room to the accompaniment of the most hell ish music"
 Another interesting paragraph is from the pen of a Chinese who had just returned from q tour of Europe and North America. He wrote to a relative as follows:
 You cannot civilize these foreign devils. They are beyond redemption. They will go weeks and months with out touching a mouthful of rice, and they eat the flesh of bullocks and sheep in enormous quantities. That is why they smell so badly. They smell like sheep themselves. Every day they take bath to rid them selves of their disasreeable odors, but they do not succeed. Nor do they eat their meat cooked in small pieces. It is carried into the room in large chunks often half raw, and they cut and slash and tear it apart. They eat with knives and prongs. It makes a civilized being perfectly nervous. One fancies himself in the presence of sword d-swallowers. They even sit down at the same table with women, and the latter are served first. revers- ing the order of nature"

It is not altogether indulging in Chestertonian paradox to hazard the theory that the rise of the I. w. w.. is an indication of steadily improving conditions of life among the working classes. Karl Marx's prediction was that the worker is bound to seek in- to deeper misery with the years. The question whether this prophecy has been justified by the facts Is still be- ing debated in Socialist literature, with the argument decidedly in favor of those who contend that Karl Marx

WHAT IT COSTS TO KILL A MAN.

The statement is made in one of the American magazines, says an ex- change, that it costs any government involved in war about $15,O ,O00 for each man killed. The per man cost in the Boer war was about S40,000. a pretty stiff price for England to pay for the privilege of driving Dom Paul and his followers out of power. It cost about $1O,OO0 to kill a man in the struggle between Turkey and the Balkan states.
 Here is cold material argument in favor of the peace movement which Jingoes will find it difficult to answer. War, in a pecuniary sense, is one of the most expensive modern luxuries. The bare statement that it costs $15,- 900 to kill man under modern methods of fighting gives us some idea of the weight of our armaments. Legislative acts and court decisions in America have agreed upon $5,0OO as about fair valuation or the aV- craze mans life; hence in war we pay three times as much as a man is worth for the privilege of killing him.
 But we turn from the material to the moral aspect of war; we think of Lowell's lines:
 "Ef you take a sword an dror it,
 An go stick feller thru,
 Guv'ment ain't to answer for it
 GodIl send the bill to you"
 The burden of our armaments poses collective problem; it is a drain upon our mutual resources; but the actual business of. killing in war. whether face to face at close range in hand-to-hand conflicts. or at long distances. becomes, as Lowell sought to teach us, an individual matter and each man must answer for the red that stains his hands.

Why osteopathy is Not Massage


 First: Because the lesser cannot include the greater. Osteopathy is both a science and an art. As a science it includes the broad sciences of Biology, Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology. Its scope and it's thera- peutics, while independent and orig inal, are coextensive with the field known as medical and surgical. Mass age is nothing of the sort.
 Second Because, as an art, osteo- pathy is wider in it's application than either medicine or surgery singly, treating with conspicuous success a wide range of cases in both fields. It does not require less Intelligence and scientific attainment to represent os- teopathy properly than either medi- cine or surgery Massage is not per- mitted to assume responsibility for the full care of disease except under a physicians direction. The osteo- path by contrast is himself physi- clan
 Third Because. insofar as their work is parallel-that is, where they attempt to accomplish similar things they work by entirely different principles and with technique en- tirely dissimilar. Osteopathy frees up pressure on blood vessels and nerves by adjusting displacements of bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, fas- cia or muscle wherever it is found. and by relaxing contractures of mus cle and fragments wherever existent, whether these be due to prior dis placement, congestion as from taking cold, over-work of the nerves, or yet other causes. Finally. in order to stimulate circulation after such ob structions are removed, osteopathy does not rub or apply pressure over the veins, but manipulates the ner- vous system through its various cen ters, either to stimulate or inhibit energy, so that the vasomotor ap- paratus may bring about the desir- ed action in a physiological manner that is, by increasing heart action and opening up the channels of cir culation. Massage deals with an eff feet; osteopatby concerns itself pri- marily with causes.
 Fourth: Osteopathy does not con- sist of rules of action; it's technique is not mastered by mere imitation, and it is matter of common remark that no two osteopaths treat the same case in exactly the same way. It's practitioners are taught to reason out each case from the conditions exist ing and to apply principles of cor rection, adjustment and normalization in the most common sense way.
