Is Socialism to Become Greet World Money po1uer?

in this way. Of the party's no Reichstag g members 43 are described as authors; and three of these count as ''millionaires' ' With them are nine well-to-do lawyers, whose lucrative practices come mainly from socialist prosecutions, and other political trials
 ''Milhonairization of socialism, as it was called at party congress, causes much disgust to stalwart socialists like Rosa Luxemburg, Zubeil, Ladedur and their friends. These complain that fat prosperity and capitalstic selishness are making the party supine; and that while socialism makes money it is losing more important things. After the last Jena congress had condemned the general strike plan, one malcontent commenta- tor said it did this because a general strike would depreciate the party's in vestments. These malcoptents also dread the influence which capitalism exerts on socialist doctrine. The doctrine, they say, is being perverted The old socialists de- spised political economy as weapon of legalized robbers The new socialists have evolved specific socialist poiti- cal economy, which sestores to honor n'any economical heresies rejected by the founders of socialism. of late some so- cialists have even gone over to protec- tion, on the ground that protection makes Tor the increase of German wealth. 9th CTS go further Dr. Ludwig Quessel, one of the ablest, lately wrote defense of imperialism and conquest on the ground that these things had helped the econom- ical development of England
 In the old days such heresies led to expulsion from the party. The fate of the protectionist, ex-socialist Richard Calwer, Is case in point. Nowadays. under ths, Influence of capitalism, heretics are tol- erated and welcomed. if only they are rich and useful. Tn. result. say the dissatisfied, is that socialism grows daily more capitalistc and less militant; and by the time it has attained it's present am- bition and becomes world money power it will have ceased to be a political power at all. -.

Bugling Amateur Headsman

From the New York Sun.
 Most of us. are wont to think of the beheadment as relic of the dark ages. but the last decapitation which took pla ce in the British Isles was no later than 1920, an exchange remarks The victims were two unfortunates who had taken a part in the Bonnymuir rising and were convicted of high treason The sentence was carried out in Stirling. Scotland and the men were left hanging an hour be. fore they were cut down,
 The headsman. who was masked and wore serge gown, was small, nervous man who did his work so badly that if was not until the third stroke that he 'decapitated one of the unfortunates. The assembled crowd yelled Murder.p and the miserable headsman was heard to re- mark: "I wish to heaven had not it to do."
 For, long time his identity was e mystery. but it later developed that he was a young medical student of Glas- gov. The ax and the mask which he used on the occasion may still be seen.

 cumulating and concentrating wealth in true money trust style No rival political party has a twentieth of their wealth. The fund of the socialist political party as such is relatively small. but socialism has a score of productive economic ralni- fication, the income of which increase rapidly. and even double every four or five years. Good business management and thrift are the causes of this. In 19OS-u the labor unions total incomes rose from $12OOO, 900 to s1S.000, 000, but the ex- penditure rose only from slO, 5oO,00 to sl5, . OOOOo0. This meant a 100 per cent in crease of the annual surpluses which are accommodating as capital Still more fruitful sources of socialist capitalism ire the socialist consumers associations. In 1909 the annual receipts of these associa- tions were only $S,25OO00. By 1912 they had risen to $39.000, 900. In 1912 the associations had savings of s7OOo.O0O, which are now increasing at the rate of s2,Oo0,o00 a year. In similar fashion, other socialist organ izations. political, labor, savings, and mutual, are heaping up wealth. This money is on deposit receipt in banks; on mortgage, or in municipal and state loans. The result is that socialism as an organl- zation is getting a firm capitalistic grip upon the community; and If the plan is bank. a money power will be brought into existence which no rival capitalist con- centration will be able to resist.
