Ford Hall An Influence
For Pure Democracy

There is building in Boston called
Ford Hall which was presented to that
city as a public forum in which all sorts
and kinds of people could speak, without
fear or restriction. on any subject which
they had at heart; giving to the audience
and thus to the city, their grievances,
their aspirations, their plans or their
accomplishments.
Socialists, trades unionists, churchmen,
social reformers, philanthropists, public
officials; the rich, the poor, the artist, the
business man. any one with message
or something to say has here an oppor-
tunity afforded him for free speech.
Beginning with a small audience in
1905, these meetings, held every Sunday
night. are now of such size that the hall
is overlooking long before the hour set
for beginning.
They are under the leadership Of
George w. Coleman, who acts as chair
man and leads the discussion which
always follows, stating the points or
questions clearly and encouraging any
who need help. To his tactful and broad
minded leadership, the success OF the
work is largely due.
The controlling spirit and purpose of
the work is said to be "neighborliness"
and the only restriction is that no offense
to race. class, or creed is allowed. For.
as w. E. B. Dubois says: Herein lies
the tragedy of the age. Not that men
are poor; all men know something OF
poverty. Not that men are wicked. Who
is good? Not that men are ignorant.
What is truth? Nay. but that men
should know so little of each other"
Daniel Sharpe Ford, who made this
gift to the city of Boston, did it with the
Ii hope that it would bring people together
and give them an opportunity to under
stand each other.
He saw a growing menace in the oppos-
ing forces Of capital and labor and be-
llieved that if these two could get
together on a human basis, they would
find that their cause-was one and the
same and reach a solution OF their
troubles through brotherly appreciation
of each others difficulties. This social
endeavor is the American expression OF
the Roman forum, Of the old Saxon
gathering, the Witenagemot and an evo-
luton of the New England town meeting.
If all cities could be so favored and
could find among their citizens so able a
leader as George w. Coleman, the ideal
of democracy for which we are striving,
might not be so far away.

When the Time Comes
to Pay in Germany

Though speculation in regard to con-
ditions which will obtain after the war
may be idle, it is natural to wonder just
what will happen in Germany when the
people are obliged to pay the bills for
this orgy of militarism.
Already they have yearly felt the in
|creasingly heavy load OF taxation press
ing upon them.
Though they have been insured
against starvation in old age by the old
age system of pensions; though mothers
of a certain number of children have re-
ceived some slight reward; though un-
employed men have been given employ
ment on public improvements by the
government, the people have paid for it
all by being taxed for every conceivable
thing.
There is practically nothing left un-
taxed; and. therefore, the only thing
which can be done, is to tax the same
things at higher rate.
Just how the social democrats, who
make up large part of the population,
will stand this. and just how the masses
will feel about it, is the thing about
which we are specializing.
The land owners will be compelled to
pay in land and income taxes the manu-
facturers will pay directly or indirectly
through increased railroad rates and
other devices; labor will pay through the
increased cost of living.
In order to bring about fair distribu-
ton of this fearful burden, new legisla-
ton will inevitably take place and it is
most certain that this will mean consti-
tutional reform.
Constitutional reform is always detri-
mental to autocratic government: the
divine right Of kings has no place in its
program.
Is it even remotely possible that the
military party Of Germany will he shorn
of its power as Sampson was shorn Of.
his locks, and become a subordinate and
tractable bodv. used. as are other mill
tsrv bodies, for protection in time of
ned, and not rs governing autocracy?

"Greece has all to gain by victory for
the Allies he has said. "If the nation
could act in conformity with the consti-
tuition, she would execute my policies,
but the Government is now operating
without constitutional majority OF the
Chamber"
Furthermore Venezelos asserts that ii
Bulgaria wins, she will very soon take
Greek Macedonia which, in his opinion,
would mean the destruction of the actual
kingdom of Greece.
Venezelos is the idol of the people and
his reinstatement may reasonably be ex-
pected to mean that Greece will enter the
war.

Harry Castlemon
~ DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1918. by Frank Crane)

/ have read an item in the newspaper
some weeks ago that pulled the chords
OF memory with loud twang.
When you get TO be hundred years
old, more or less. one of the interesting
discoveries you make is that the impress
sions that have stuck in your life are
those that were made when you were
boy.
You may meet many gorgeous women,
for instance, but none of them can oc-
cupy the place of little Eloise with the
pink dress and golden curls that gave
you your first thrill when you were along
about twelve.
And you may be frightened now and
then in the adventures and wars OF ma
ture manhood but nothing will give you
quite the delicious creeps you felt when,
boy of seven or eight, you sat on the
back porch on summer night and lis
tened to the ghost stories that Louis, the
colored hired man, told you.
And you may have heard orators OF
fame in your grown-up- days, but where
one who curdled your blood and goose
pimpled your back like the itinerant re-
vivalist who held you over the pit, hair
hung and breeze-shaken." when you still
wore short trousers, when you went to
church with your mother, and when you
loo Hed out of the window every MORN
ing. for months after that awful sermon,
to see whether the Day Of Judgment had
really come, and il it was raining fire and
birthstone in the yard?
The item speak of was one announc-
ing the death of Harry Castlemon,
author Of Frank" series Of boy-books.
His real name, it appears. was Charles
Austin Fosdick, but that name connotes
nothing to me.
I read all those stories. | ate them,
devoured them. And think / remember

list" on his hunting trips and Frank in
Gunboat" on his Mississippi exploits.
was with him in the Wild West with
Old Dick
Certain phrases of those volumes stay
by me. When Frank shot wildcat he
"glanced along the clean, brown barrel"
never see shotgun to this day without
that "clean, brown barrel" coming to
mind.
And when the old trapper shot an IN
Jun" he always hit him plump atween
the eyes"
The scenes depicted in those Castle
mon books are as much part OF rly
life as are any actual occurrences.
Some years ago also noted the an
nouncement Of the death of McGufIey,
the man who made the school readers
McGuffev on the desk and Castlemon
under the desk had deal to do with my
mental furniture.
I cannot think of them without GER
tain tenderness.
Wherever they have gone hope they
will receive their reward for opening to
thousands of boys in the early seventies
the gates of reading of intellectual adj
venture.
