Where Good Socialists Go

Copyright 1913. AL rights reseyred
1 Is constantly said, and commonly with cyni-
cal accent, that with years and experience men
grow more conservative, at any rate less revolu
tlonary. 1t may be questioned whether it is really
true or indeed whether it is not really the reverse
of the truth
Actually man often grows more revolutionary
only he generally wishes TO revolutionize his own
party as we'll the opposite party. Perhaps it
would not be too much to say that he wishes to
smash his own party as we'll as the opposite party
This holy ideal, however, remains undimmed or
even blazes more radiantly
The aged revolutionst does not forget the need
OF reformation he only discovers the necessity for
1t III more varied types of humanity and in some
cases. by sort of binding apocalypse at the point
OF death, he may perhaps discover it in himself
Where Good Americans Co.
Anyhow, the cynical phrase is false, like most
cynical phrases; for cyncism always misses the
human to avoid the heroic
1t was cynic who said: Good Americans,
when they die, 60 TO Paris" But he was wrong;
for they go to the defence of Paris, and die.
And parallel question of where good Socialists
go when they die, or still more when they continue
for a protracted period to live, happens to be
illustrated in vivid though varied ways in some i'm
portant books recently published in England The
list includes the very valuable memoirs of Mr. Bel
rt-Bax, the famous leader Of the Social Demo-
cratic Federation; "reminiscences and Reflections
of a Mid and Late Victorian Allen & Unwin TO- 6
metz the last book Of Mr. Robert Batchford, Gen
erdl TOn Sneak llodder & Stoughton 2/6 nett :;

On the parallel of the phrase about Paris, it
might be suggested that good Socialists when they

vironment that everybody should be forgiven for
everything, and never blamed at all.
Forgiving No Longer
To call man sneak in large letters the
very cover of book may be held to involve
hint Of blame; at any rate few would accept il as
form of praise, or even of forgiveness And what
is outside the book is mild to what is inside, cspe
cially as the author is almost mercess to
Paciists than to PruSsians. The old philosopher
of pardon not only will not pardon the sinners, but
will not even pardon the pardoners.
I am far from disagreeng with him. and further
still from deriding him for his conversion to COM
mon Christian anger On the contrary, as I say, I
think such a reaction mark that a man is still
alive and kicking, when he can really find some
thing to kick But l cannot avoid a momentary
amusement when recall it that the real original
universal prophet Haeekel typical Prussian,
would come in for most of the kicks.
Women: Rights or Privileges?
The same irony in the case of Mr. Belfort-Bax
is necessarily subtle and subdued; for he is
more scholarly and fastidious type of man. The
tone of his memoirs is sober and almost sOmbre;
though there is a great deal of grim humor, espe-
cally about the authors great principle or preju-
dice of resistance to Feminism. Some might say
that the bee in his bonnet is the queen bee; the
female privilege which Knox called the Monstrous
Regiment of Women.
As one who believes more in the privileges OF
women than the rights of women, find myself
wandering far from Mrs. Pankhurst without wan
dering any nearer either to Knox OF Bax. But the
latters position is very logical; and is his story
of difficulty in dssuading William Morris from
rising at lady Socialist s entrance.
How Socialism May Get There.
But even Mr.. Bax so far suggests the same con-
trast; that he stands lucidly and loyalty by doc
trnes typical Of German Socialism, while hardly
concealing his contempt for German Socialists. He
does indeed argue ably that an earlier generation
would have played better part; point there is
no space to examine.
I Anyhow, such books suggest that even if Social
ism came from Berlin it does not go there. Or it
only goes there as certain Americans and French
men and Englishmen may yet go there, before
these wild days are done. G. K CHEsTERToN.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-09-15

die, 60 to Berlin. 1t might even be used polite
euphemism for going somewhere else But the
interesting fact about the great Socialists, whose
books are now before me, is that they turn upon
and blaspheme Berlin with an energy admirable at
their time of life.
So far from having stifrened into mere eonserva-
tsm they attack an entirely new task of destruc-
ton with the energy of dynamite Above all, they
are not too old for the noblest kind of revolt the
revolt against themselves.
A cynic might say that they are still young
enough to be inconsistent. But the cynic would be
wrong again; for they have that clearest Of con-
sistency which knows an old thing under new
name.
The true senile decay is TO remember nothing
but names. 1t is to grow used to an inconsistency
so long as it is one of ideas. And though Germany
was the home, rather the hive of Socialism, the
most effective enemies of Germany are now Social
lists. But there is peculiar irony running through
these special cases which critic may find it enter
tanning to trace.
The New Mr.. Blatchford.
As point Of pure literature Mr.. Blatchford is
the best Socialist writer i'll the world; and one
might well leave out the word Socialist" He has
educational talent educational talent is
often mark of writers at first dismissed as I'M
educated. He translates Economics into English
where some Socialists love TO translate both into
High Dutch, which is also Double Dutch.
He does not say Solidarity when he means
sticking together because they are both mere meta
phors and sticking together is a more classic, more
perfect, and more poetieal metaphor He is orig
inal in the real sense that he is not ashamed to be-
gin at the beginning, at the origins He does not
think it cultivated to in only with the longest
words for the latest things; as some think it dandi-

In his last book he breaches popular crusade
against Prussia, with all the hot logic and vtupera-
ton Of Cobbett. But it is certainly an attack not
only on Germany but on Germans. And cannot

JACKSON MODELS
ATTRACTIVE
New Jackson Flyer Combines
Beauty and Comfort, on
Exhibition at Show

The new jackson models are Gre
atinS much favorable comment al
the Auto Show this season. The low
sides with beveled edges-the high
hood with drop cowl lines-the low
hung body with close setting Tenders
form n most distinctive car. These
models are made in series of de-
signs, the four-passenger flyer; dhe
seven passenger touring; the seven
passenger Springfield Sedan; the
four-passenger Cruiser; and the two
passenger Roadster.
These models are all equipped
with the eight cylinder valve-in-
head motor. 1t is claimed for this
motor that it is the sensation of the
year. In speaking of this motor,
Mr.. Keboch, the local distributor of
the Jackson Car, says, This power
plant is distinctive, and unlike other
eights. 1t has the valve-in- head
which gives it unusual power-an
increase of one-ffth, and unbeliev-
able economy--a low gas consump-
ton of II to % miles to the gallon
with tire economy that outstrips
many smaller cars"
In the four-passenger flyer, a COM
bination of last years chummy or
or close coupled four passenger road
ster, but giving more room, easy
riding comfort and more smartness.
This makes very nobby appearance
and a car that makes it a pleasure
for the touring party of two or four
passengers.
The Jackson Sedan forms a ser
viceable all year round car. 1t can
be adjusted in a very short time
from the closed car to open touring
car. 1t is practically two cars in
one. When closed it affords all the
comforts of a limousine and when
open acts the same as the ordinary
touring car. The supporting side
bars drop out of sight, so there are
no distractions from front to rear.
The top remains stationary at all
times forming a protection from sun
and dust
The regular five and seven-pas-
senger models and the two-passenger
roadster, are all Jackson master
pieces. The same outlines that COM
bine beauty and comfort are found
in all these models and the same
power plant assures the owner of
Jackson quality.
p. H. Keboch, district manager for
the Jackson Automobile Co. of Jack
son, Mich, is the local distributor.
Mr.. Keboch has several of these
models on exhibition at the Auto
Show, and in his salesrooms in
South Fourth street, where he very
agreeably explains all the merits of
Jackson Cars.
