rack its brains for suitable New
Years gifts.
Sol, for SOlstice.
Beginning in 1920, according to Mr.
Benefits plan and Representative
Smiths bill, the year of 364 days
would be divided equally by thirteen,
and the thirteenth month would be
slipped in the calendar between June
and July. Its name would be Sol, for
Solstice.
Monday is to be the first day of
the week and Sunday the seventh.
Thus Monday would always be the
1st, 9Th, 18th and 22d of each month
There is, of course, still the 365th
day to take care of, and Mr.. Benefits
idea is that this extra day should be
called New Years day, to be placed
between Sunday, December %, and
Monday, January 1, making it the
first day of the new year, but not
part of January This day is to be
legal holiday. There is still another
extra day in leap year, and Mr.. Ben
nett would dispose of this by adding

fourth year, except in the centurial
years not divisible by four hundred,
as at present, Leap Day." which
would be placed, foot loose, between
June and Sol, but would not be a
part of either month.
Holidays All the Same.
All holidays would come on the
same day every year. Christmas
would always fall on Thursday, and
the Fourth of July couldn't help fall
ing invariably on a Thursday, and so
on. Thus all the calendars could be
thrown away and everybody start fair.

SOCIALIST LEADERSHIP UN-AMERICAN
SAYSALLANL L. BENSON, QUTT'TINGPARTY
Presidential Candidate of Arragn Its Foreign Spoke
the St Louis Anti-War Program; Gave Organ-
Ample Time Rectify Position,
Which Has Failed To

Allan L. Benson, titular leader of
the Socialist party, has resigned, just
about completing the exodus of
American leaders from that organi-
zation. Benson was the party's can
didate for president in the last cleo
ton. In his resignation he says that
while he has disagreed with the party
for year he felt, as its presidential
candidate, he should give the organi-
zation ample time to rectify its posi-
tion, which it has failed to do.
Mr.. Benson's resignation from mem
bership constitutes thoro analysis
of the party's pro-German position
and constitutes a biting arraignment
of that position. His resignation fol-
lows:
Text of Benson's Letter.
l herewith present my resignation
from the Socialist party to take ef-
feet at once. do so with profound
regret. / believe in democracy as
applied both to government and to
industry, but do not believe in the
attitude taken by the party toward
the war in what has come to be
known as the "St. Louis resolutions"
l do not believe in pledging the party
to acts of violence. Nor do / regard
tne DelllgerentS as equally guilty. 1
know, for instance, that Belgium is
not guilty at all and that Germany is
guilty of all. / know the government
of the United States wages war for
neither money nor land, while the gov
ernment of Germany covets both
money and land. / know that Ger
many, any moment she will accept it,
can get just peace, and l feel that
until she will accept a just peace she
should be compelled to accept war.
Believing that nothing worse could
happen to the world than to be placed
under the heel of German imperial
ism, / sever my relations with party
that nationally places the belligerents
upon a parity and, in the state of
Wisconsin, recently demanded the
withdrawal of the American army
from Europe-a demand which, had
it been granted, would have meant
the speedy if not the instant collapse
of the allies. Nevertheless, do not
share the view of those who regard
the Socialist party as "pro-German"
II that term be deemed to indicate a
state of mind which desires German
victory.
believe the rank and file of the
Socialist party, like the rank and file
OF all other American parties, is es-
sentially American, and therefore ar

central powers. The Socialist party
differs in this, that 1t has among its
