Two prominent men in the social ist party, Charles Edward Russell and Mayor Lunn of Schenectady have gone on record as favoring pre- paredness and what is more they have come out with arguments to sustain their stand. Russell spoke in the face of a very hostile crowd in New York, and stated why he be- lieved in preparedness and was un- dismayed by the attitude which the crowd took up against him.
 Now some socialist party locals are denouncing him by resolution and some demand his expulsion from the party.
 There's an undeniable tendency in the ranks of socialists to have a cut and dried policy which the com radcs must live up to at ell costs and instead of cndoavoring to meet the arguments of some with other and better and more cogent argu- mentative material, to expei them from the ranks as no longer loyal members.
 Whether we agree with Russell or Lunn on his preparedness question, at any rate it is obvious they are en titled to their opinions however he terodox, until we can bring better argumnts to bear upon them ann persuade them different.
 Socialists have always protested against the attitude of som, l, opponents to who sought to shut them up and to suppress their opi- nions because they were unpleasant. Any time a man possesses ideas that fear to hear contrary ones we can be quite certain that he has a very insecure grip upon them, and has no argument to sustain his position that will not fear all corners.
 It might be well if socialists who would have every man follow a

tEe generosity and insist upon the good intentions of the mon1ed mGn, found easy space in all the papers and news agencies tumpIcd over one another in sending careful re- porters who would dramatize and falsify safely for the news columns of the country'g press every little incident connected with the trip Practically every evil feature of working class conditions are hidden and kept secret, and when strikes occur and violence follows that is chronicled. but the dastardly labor conditions that drove to violence are ignored. .s
 This shows the vital necessity of the labor press, end the fact of the matter, is that the workers could well dispense with their editorial pages altogether and devote tha; space to the dissemination of cor recter news throughout the land. In this country there are hund- reds of socialist and labor week les devoted for the most part to pro- paganda. Some of them are exceed ingly able, but it would rebound to labor's cause immensely if that abil- ity was gathered under one head and in the form of several dailies throughout the great populous cen ters devoted to the dissemination of news as it actually happened and from labor's standpoint where hitherto only the capitalist side has been heard.
 What the labor movement is chiefly up against is the fact that the most ordinary news is published from the capitalist standpoint, ci where the news favors labor so com pletely as to be impossible to shade it to suit the wishes of employers, it is wholly suppressed.
 The old metaphysicians knew very Well thdt lHe SupproSSioN 'i the truth was the suggestion of falsehood, and 1t with this phase ot suggested lying that the workers have had most difficulty in contend ing. Just so long as the daily news is controlled by great capitalist agen- cies, just so long will they be able to pervent the peoples minds to their way of thinking and thinking as they want them to think, have them act as they would have them act

cut and dried path and think the same as they do at the risk of being declared unfit to associate with them, to recollect that Lebkrecht and others have been expelled ny socialists in Germany because of their anti-militarism while the soc ialists here would expel others who support militarism.
 The one merits condemnation as much as the other. Men must ad- vance their cause by intelligent ac- ton and it's not intelligent to in- sist that one is right and refuse to permit any man to hold opinions other than those of ourselves and above all to deny those contrary opinions expression.
 It may all be that Russell is still bourgeois-minded. That would be certainly nothing unusual in party of many bourgeois minds such, as the socialist party. But it would be hard to consider any act more unproletarian than this act of ex- polling and silencing men because they differ with one in opinions
 That has been the attitude of the ruling class in all ages and all times, and never did make for democracy and for freedom. On the contrary it has been at the back of all perse- cution, penal codes and inquisitions. That the socialists should now adopt 1t is very suggestive.

Shackletons return from the Ant. arctic finds the world little dis posed to pay any heed to the scien- tific results of his expedition. It's value will be practically nil outside some few scientific circles, for out side those circles relatively few have had time for anything else but the war and the possibilities of war
 Many popular scientific journals, papers, magazines and reviews are published in the United States. IT any one wants to roal;ze how deeply the war has affected even the realms of scientific research, he can easily obtain a very good idea of it from glancing over the articles and illus trations therein.
 Thus one will have the full page story of the latest gun, the plans of a novel military airplcne, the chemi- cal method of substituting wood fibre for cotton in tho manufacture of cellulose high explosives; the various asphyxiating forms of gases from bromide and chloride salts and their method of general produc- tion.
 It is true that always science has been made use of in military war fare, and the leaders of the military profession were always the quickest to take advantage of new discoveries to advance their arts efficiency. But these are purely lay papers and ma gazines whose circulation in mili- tary and naval circles is very li- mited. ss6a ,&l t
 Now what is happening in even purely scentific circles Is to be noted in almost every other phase of hu- man activity. Even the churches, the press and the politicians are as we'll as the people talking, discuss ing and considering the war in all, its phases.

TO MEET A
YOUNG LADY
By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY
(copyrisht. 1911. by Associated Literary Pres.

Copyright. 1871. by Associated Literary Press)
Booth Adams was in Europe when
his widowed mother bought her coun-
try place, and about all she wrote him
in regard to it was the price paid and
the fact that 1t was four miles from
the village of Smithtown. Two months
later, when he returned to the States
and wrote his mother that he would
motor down on a certain date, his sis
ter Kate answered the letter. Her
information was little more particu-
lar. She wrote.
ITS a lovely place and you will be
charmed with 1t. Stop at the railroad
station in Smithtown to meet young
lady who is to visit me-"
Until the young man was gliding
over the turnpike on his thirty-mile
run he was calm. Then he began to
think Of the young lady he was to
meet. Would she be at the station
when he arrived? Was she coming
down from the city on one Of the six
trains day? Which particular one ?
What was her name? Would she be
expecting to be met? When a young
man Is asked to meet a young lady
there are some little points he should
be posted on.
Mr.. Adams had started at an early
hour in the morning. The young lady
might not start until late hour in the
afternoon. There might be two ladies
there to be met, and it was on the
cards that he would mix them up.
Even if there were only one young
lady she might ask him to identify
himself before taking a four-mile trip
In his company. What seemed a mere
trif1e at first began to grow in bulk.
A train had just left passengers at
Smithtown and rolled on when Mr..
Adams motored up. There was a fat
man walking up and down the plat
form; there was a tall, lean woman
sitting on a long. thin trunk; there
was young woman looking out of
the depot door and tapping her foot in
an impatient way. She was a good
looking young woman and wore a
fashionable travelling suit. She was
just such a young person as sister

II don't care to get smashed up
again, and so l will walk"
1t was an awful cut on Mr.. Adams,
but he had to stand it. He must land
the trunk If not the girl. and so he
stopped and pretended to tinker at the
machinery until he saw her reach the
house ahead. Then he went forward
with dash and deposited the trunk
inside the gate and fed for his life
Two miles further on a farmer told
him that he would have to make a
circuit of eight miles to get back to
the depot. In making the circle the
auto got stuck in mudhole and 1t
baked at a hill, and for half an hour
a farmer with load of hay refused to
give half the road.
When the depot was reached the
there was a grin on his face as he
said:

1.-THE other one came down on the
next train. She said a young man
was to meet her."
But I wasn't here"
mo! Didn't make much difference
to her, though. She hired Elder Spoon
er's horse and buggy and a boy to
drive her over the Widow Adams
place. Left word that you needn't
worry nor be in hurry. Said that
you might linger along and see the
scenery"
But who was the girl took away?"
asked Adams.
What? didn't you even get her
name? l don't know 1t myself. but
she's high flyer from town on visit
to the Draytons"
And the other young lady? What
sort was she?"
Another high flyer. Say, young man,
il your name is Adams l want to con-
graduate you"
But don't see"
ooh, yes, you do. The first high
flyer probably took you for chauf-
feur, and she'll be mad about it, and
you weren't here to meet the second,
and she'll be madden yet. Things
mixed up! Got to be Strengthened out.
Apologies to be made. Two high fly
ers-one young man. Take the left
hand road this time"
From his mother and sister the son
and brother received two long and
very caustic lectures, each one ending
with:
why, we wanted you and Lottie
Morton to meet, because-because-
and that old horse fell down and
pitched her out of the buggy and
skinned her elbows, and now she'll
always be mad at you'll"
But mother and daughter were not
true prophets. After a day in bed

body was to blame, and Mr.. Booth Ad-
ans felt himself forgiven. He had
come down for a stay of two days, and
he remained two weeks. In fact, he
was so interested in home affairs
that when the other high flyer" sent
him a letter of apology he just
skinned through it. He had even for
gotten the station agent when he
drove up to make inquiries about
trains, having Miss Lottie with him:
Yes, they've put on an early morn
ing train," was the reply. 1--WE heard
all about that flyer at Drayton's, but
But what?"

Kate would invite down to spend
month. She gave a start as she saw
the auto and then came forward. Mr..
Adams was about to raise his cap
and introduce himself and mention
sister Kate when the young lady said:
That's my trunk over there. have
been here two long hours. Didn't they
know by what train was coming?"
Il don't know"
Some mistake somewhere l do
hate waiting around an old depot. I'll
sit with you. Sure you got the right
trunk?"
"Oh, yes"
We'll, move along, then"
There we're no less than three roads
leading away from the depot. Mr.. Ad-
ans didn't know which to take, and
he didn't believe the girl had ever
been there before, but it came over
him to keep to the right. and away he
went. No objections were made, but
after two or three minutes he was
