THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM.

1t is so cheap and common for would
be reformers to constantly refer to
"the capitalist system as if it We're
something to be ashamed of that it is
pleasing to find an able statesman de-
Tending it, and he isn't capitalist
himself, either. But he has this to say
in regard to it:
''As matter of fact, the capitalist
system is capable of sustained and
searching defense. The fact is that it
is the only system that has ever been
devised for regulating economic rela-
tions between man and man, for APP
praiSing the value which men render
to each other, or exact from each 9th
er, the only system apart from slav-
cry"
But the capitalist system is not an
invention, as some would have us be-
lieve. 1t was not devised by II little
group of men to enslave all others; it
was not devised by one man for his
own selfish purposes. Capitalism is
the development of all time; it has
grown with the human race it has

SINCERITY.
In a recent answer to query on the
worth of musical art Albert Spalding

In a recent answer to a query on the
worth of musical art Albert Spalding
said:
1.-The keynote to all artistic worth is :
"FirSt-Sincerity.
"Second.-Sincerity.
Enthusiastically.
"All other qualities are related to it
and valuelesS without it,
And how well this thought fits in
with all things worth while connected
with human endeavOr. If we are not
sincere we are not honest. In the ma
ture of things we cannot be. In art
the very breath of it must have sin
certify or it cannot take hold it cam
not rise to the heights. No effort not
based on sincerity is worth while. No
matter what we do we should see to it
that we put heart in our work. With
out it nothing we undertake is worth
while and cannot rise above mediocre
ty All of our zeal in endeavor falls
and fails if We cannot see truth. and
make our works rise upon a pedestal
of sincere effort as well as honesty
of purpose.

siasm Brought Into Presentation of
"Happy Days" at Hippodrome.
Charles Dillingham;, coming back into
the New York Hippodrome in supreme
charge of the huge theatrical Organiza
ton this past week, brought a new in
terest and a refreshing enthusiasm into
the presentation of Happy Days
which was noticeable even across the
footlights. Everybody seemed happy,
and the vast audiences which have
crowded the big playhouse twice daily
could not help being impressed with
the joyous spirit which prevailed
throughout the colossal pageant, which
is without question the greatest of all
HippOdrome spectacleS. Never in the
history of this great amphitheater has
the attendance record for September
equaled the present proportions. The
water spectacle today, which presents
two gorgeous episodes, THE Golden
City" and the Magic Grotto," is said
to be as costly as an entire Hippo
drome production in years gone by.
The company and corps of operators,
too, are the largest ever engaged,
numbering ,132 people.

As we don glad summer clothes, That last batch of big mosquitoes Now succeeded by a fly Infinitesmal- bites like fury!

 Blue and red time to talk; See the motor boats go skipping Ger the river, as the lark! Who of us can think in doubles
 Of those windows, yes, and doors! All forgotten chinks and crannies Likewise cracks in cabin floors! Not while Native bands are rowing And the baby birdlings fly, Not while wild fowl, weirdly screech-

 Form banner in the sky, Not while white fish and those grey

 Simmer silver-like and fair As you tempt and ever lure them Till they're whizzing thru the air, Far away, that rainy day seems, When no man can work" Just outside the breeze is calling, "Come, Play Indian!

The other day great crowd gathered at the National Capital to protest against pro- hibition.
 There were representatives of Organized Labor, for these reasons: CD Organized a Dor contains a large number of those whose 'craft is in danger, such as bartenders, brew cry hands, and the like @ It is more re- Sponsive to appeals that are addressed to the desire for more pay and better working con ditions than to any sort of an ideal (3) It is composed largely o1 men who are not very far removed from Europe i'll their habits and modes of thOt.
 Organized Labor made mistake when it opposed Prohibition which will be the best friend the Workingman and his family (aC- cent on the iamily) ever had. It made this mistake because all along it has lacked vision.
 Samuel GomperS is a very able man and has been of inestimable benefit to his group and to the nation. But he has the same trou ble Woodrow Wilson has He is a partisan. He considers himself the representative of the Federation of labor. He is. Just as Will son has the idea that he is responsible to the Democratic Party. He Is. But the U. $. A. IS not Labor Union nor a Political Party
 As it was not the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party nor any other Party that won the war, but the Whole People, so it is not the American Federation of Labor nor any other organization of I,aboring men, nor Socialism, nor the l. W. w., nor any other exclusive group that has bettered work con ditions i'll this country. Doubtless each con- tributed i'll some degree.
 But the Class that has helped Labor is that despised Class known as the Bourgeoisie.
 That is the Class that don't belong to any Class, that think for themselves, that are hon est, just and square, that do things because they get some advantage from it.
 Charles Henry Melzer in a recent ar ticle in the North American Review, called attention to the immense significance and real power of this unorganized Intermediate" mass of our ctizenry.
 Political Parties are selfish so are Labor Organizations, Churches, Lodges, Clubs, and all other groups They have to be. It is nothing against them, for 1t is simply the in- stnct of self-preservation.
 The only Unselfish Class, the only Class that can and does respond to an Ideal, that can do thing because it is Right whether it pays, hurts or not, is the Class that is no Class at all It includes the clerks, business men, teachers, preachers, lawyers, physicians, servant girls, stenographers, farmers and store keepers.
 These are the backbone of the country, or rather the only dependable Soul and Con- science of the country.
 It is this Class, that is no Class at all, that put Prohibition across It is these that Congressmen are afraid of. They cannot or ganize processlons and mass meetings and such quick demonstrations. But they can vote.
 They have said Alcohol must go And 1t must go.
 No provincial charge of any discontented company can avail against the vast army of the Conscientious.

He can see it easily and clearly "Tomorrow!' Surely it is not a mirage. Has he not lived on the desert long enough to know mirage when he sees it? Those things may deceive others, but not him.

Quite possibly, and even probably, at the roots of that greasewood tree yonder, pay dirt will be found, rich from the 'grass rootS' down. The whole thing is as good as settled. You can't keep good man down.

WALT MASON'S DAILY POEM
(Exchange.)

And now the city dweller dreams of for ests, moors, and lonely fens, of speckled trout in mountain streams and rufous deer that roam the glens When summer comes with brassy skies, who does not long for things like these, for outings where the mountains rise, or in the shade of lordly trees? And surely men who toll and spin for weary months and give their best, when rattled by the city's din should have one month of helpful rest. One month of loafing in the dells, where Nature does her smoothest work, and man would come back wearing bells to do his stunt as shipping clerk. One month of camping in the wild, the office chairs all left behind, and man would then be reconcled to his demnition, beastly grind. One month of trapping grizzly bears, of catching codfish in the sea, of chasing bobcats to their lairs, and man would do the work of three Tho earnestly we workers try to plan out fine vacation schemes, the cost of living is so high we have to take it out in dreams. The grocer and the butcher still insist on having all we earn, so we pass up the windswept hill, the woodland, and the brae and burn The ceman and the plumber come to tell how much they think we owe; in vain the scented breezes hum we can't enjoy them as they blow.

It can, no doubt, be maintained that, in the development of the mining industry the world over, the most picturesque figure is the confirmed prospector. Traditionally tenacious and hopeful, never admitting the possibility of final failure, he, more than any other in dividual, has been the agency responsible for the establishment and development of the stores of metals and mineral oils which have enriched the world and made possible the use of many devices now regarded as indispens- able. He is the type of optimism. Years of apparent failure leave him undaunted. If one

Somebody has been reminded by the first transatlantic flight that there is another ocean, just across the American continent, which nobody seems to have thot of in connec- tion with aeroplanes. The Pacific, however, is used to playing second fiddle-if an ocean can be imagined fidding. It might even be said that Japan is valuable to the eastern half of the United States as an occasional reminder that there is such a thing as the Pacific ocean It would be wider space to cross, but it has many more islands than the Atlantic, and a course could perhaps be charted without much difficulty which the airman could follow from California to Japan. Or again, if he started far enough north, the airman, theoretically at least, could cross the Pacific without stopping anywhere, in about fifteen minutes.
 There is as yet some room for doubt as to just what inning of the game we are at with regard to the league of nations. There may be nine long innings to come, and then still others before a tie is broken. But there is hint none the less, that Mr. Wilson has reached "the lucky seventh"

ninistration in which president Of the United

ADMINISTRATION in which president OF the lnlted
States was out of harmony with congress on
matter of foreign policy. Sporadic objections
we're raised when we took the Philippines over,
| hut congress and a vast majority of the people
enthusiastically acquiesced.
| President Grant made no special fight for his
policy but simply threw it out as suggestion
and was not embittered when congress IN Its
wisdom disapproved. He realized that it had
perfect right to; that this was government OF
the people in which one mans views should not
prevail against the consensus of the Legislative
branch. Generally speaking this has been the
latitude of all our chief executives until now,
and the present antagonism between the presi-
cent and congress over questions of interna-
tional policy is an extraordinary and disquiet-
ling innovation All our presidents heretofore
have aimed to voice the people and allow the
collective wisdom of the country to decide what
should be done President Wilson s course IS
la complete and startling departure from pre-
lcedent and people are justified IN their uneasy
wonder1nent as to what it means and where 1t
leads. Is an old theory of government giving
place to a newt Is executive domination OF
congress to become an established fact and
principle of our republic!
It can of course be argued that the people
will ratlfy their president actions ana repuhe
their representatives. But this is mere as
scrtion without facts to bear it out. The peo-
ple have spoken decisively on the issue clearly
put before them by the president himself. tie
asked them in plain words to let him be their
unembarrassed spokesman and they refused.
Surely there is nothing discoverable in this on
which to base a theory that public sentiment IN
America supports the president in his course
II is the mandate given, not the mandate hop
ed for on which executives should act
We may, however, leave events to determine
If the seat of ultimate authority has been shifted
from the capitol to the white house. What we
are concerned just now to note is that the
theory of our institutions has been changed and
we have today the first chief magistrate-the
only one of the twenty-eight who have held
that exalted office-who has ever undertaken
to force foreign policy of his own upon the
United States.
