Concentration.

1 met a man of studious style.
He very seldom paused to smile.
I said, "To judge him by his looks
That man is fond of serious books.
Good sir" 1 ventured to inquire,
"What lines of thought do you ad-
mire?"
Said he, II chiefly seek to know
Which way the price of stocks will 60"
"But, do you not take time to read
In moods from calculation freed,
Of blossoming field and sunny skies
Where nature bounteous cheer sup
plies!"
Said he, IT like such matter well.
And if it could but truly tell
Which crops will fail and which will
grow,
I'd learn how stocks are bound to 60.
"Yet, does not your inquiring mind
A CLEAN Of pleasure often find
As clever novelists reveal
The sympathies that all must feel9"
"Ah, yes" said he, off I could learn
How impulses and fads will turn,
In no small way they'd help to show
How etocks ne liable - ~ *

Socialism, Foreign and Domestic.

Much anxiety was felt before the
trepe socialists should manifest Il
dominating strength, i'll reaction from
the war time policies and practices of
the government. and gain control of
the deputies through the return of Il
plurality group strong enough to form
"bloc" for the support of 4 ministry.
This apprehension has been quoted by
the returns. The extremists have been
defeated so decidedly that there is
now no fear of their domination.
Their influence in the chamber, indeed,
has been diminished They have lost
more than thirty seats in ALL despite
u few gains. The government has
been strongly supported. Ministers
have with two exceptions been re
turned to the chamber. Taken as a
whole the elections have resulted in a
triumph for Clemenceau, and France
is assured of continuation of the
course it has pursued so successfully
during the past five years and more.
In Italy, also, the socialists failed to
gain support, and the ministerial
party received distinct mandate
from the people. In Belgium the So
eialists gained such ground that the
ministry has asked to be relieved of
Office. There, however, the radical ele
ment is not in control, though showing
a stronger front than heretofore.
These three general elections-in
France, Italy and Belgium-must give
comfort to the conservative supporters
OF government. The extreme elements
are nowhere in control. Nor is there
any ground for apprehension on the
score of Great Britain, where a gen
eral election has been lately averted
by a decided rally to the support of
the ministry after a chance vote in
opposition. The industrial troubles in
England have been for the present
sihdS GU, anu Iucic 10 uO lmmtuidlc
sign of ferment calculated to upset
the government.
In the United States socialism is at
low ebb, despite a few radical demon
STATIONS here and there which are
not to be regarded as in any way in
dicative of national feeling. The
follies and crimes of the radicals have
served to solidify the sentiment of
the people in support of law and or
der and sound government principles.
At the elections of next year the ex-
tremists will doubtless try to make a
showing, but there is no expectation
anywhere of success. Meanwhile the
by-election in Milwaukee will afford
an opportunity for the people who be-
Geve in the government as it is to ad-
minister a rebuke to those who wish
to change and who will denote their
opposition by voting again for Victor
Berger for Congress in the face of
his conviction in court and his ex-
elusion from the House of Representa-
tives. A union candidate has been
named who should poll the maximum
anti-socialist vote in that district.

Urges Cooperation.

SIT must be clear to any thinking
person that without the cooperation of
labor throughout the empire the car
rying of the war to a successful issue
would have been impossible" said Sir
Joseph Ward, New Zealand minister
for finance, ina recent speech.
Sir Joseph said that there were
problems which would have to be set
tied between labor and capital, but
he was satisfied that by mutual con-
cession and cooperation they would be
satisfactorily solved. ut seems to me
impossible that the idol of 'cheapness
shall continue to reign after the war.
There will certainly be high rates Of
wages, and higher consequent cost
of articles of consumption and apparel
than hitherto, but the increased pur-
chasing power of the people will miti-
gate to large extent the apparent
disabilities due to increased prices"
