a new town meeting hall" to cos,
more than s1,o00.0oo, is TO be bull,
at once on the plot 125xlOO feet at
l13-l23 West Forty-third Street, as an
answer to the mooted question:
as New York City too big to have
real sense Of city pride ?"
The citizens who collectively say
"No' to the question include Frank
a. Vanderlip, the banker, president OF
the Societies Realty Company; Trow-
bridge Hall, Mrs. A. A. Anderson, f. II
Outerbridge, William II. WILCOX,
Henry W. Taft, Robert f.. Simon, Wal
ter Stabler, Charlotte S. Baker, Mrs.
Frederick Lee Alderman, Mary b.
Cleveland and Robert Erskine Ely, of
the Economic Club, whose name per-
haps should be placed first, as he is the
leading spirit in the enterprise.
The aim Of the projectors is to build
a town meeting hall" for New York
that shall be larger and finer. if pos
sible, than Cooper Union. Both Mr.
Taft and Mr.. Ely, when seen yester-
day, said that all plans for the early
beginning of the building were in
hand and that ground would be broken
probably early in May, with a pros
pect that the structure would be rush
ed to completion.
New York Leads in City Pride"
The practical enthusiasm with which
the project has been pushed during
the last year is the best answer to
the question, is New York City too
big to have real sense of city pride o"
said Mr.. Ely last night. al speak with
conviction when l say that l believe
there is finer public spirit in New
York at this time than in any city on
earth. Hardly a year goes by now
without the building of some monu-
mental structure for the furtherancc
of noble ideal. One sees this in the
rearing of cathedrals and hospitals, to
say nothing of beautiful railway ter
minals and palatial hotels.
Home for Three Clubs
"The new building will be the perma
nent home of the Economic Club. the
League for Political Education and the
Civic Forum. The theory Of the pro-
jectors is that efficient democratic gov

require suitable meeting place for
the public discussion of subjects re
lated to the common welfare"

offer one of the best opportunities
for life work if one likes it. 1t sur
passes the majority of occupations
from the standpoint of health. 1t
seems that more farm boys ought to
follow agriculture as an occupation
f they are to get at all interested
IN it.
One big difficulty that the farm boy
has to contend with is that he does
not have as good an opportunity to
go to school as the boy in town. Farm
ing of the present day is as complex
a business to carry on as any and
the farm boy needs to have an edu-
cation that will help him in his work
as much as other business men or
doctors or lawyers. Increased prices
in land demand that production be
increased and the person who has
made study of his work and has a
better education of his work and has
over the other fellow. The boy would
find farming much more interesting
If he would make study of it. Most
of the parents of the boys realize that
the boy should get a better education
and if the fathers could arrange to
spare their boys to go to school a
little longer it would be of great val
ue to the boy in he future.

lition Of abuses and for attainment
of betterments economic and social,
well and good. But socialism, all of
it, cherishes an illusion and proceeds
upon a fallacy. It would like to abol-
ish work, or since that cannot alto
gether be done, to pare work down tc
such a smallness that nobody could
complain, not even the sluggard.
Socialism would establish a Utopia,
a material paradise. 1t is very hui
man, indeed, to wish to work no more,
or so little as not to inconvenience
oneself. But when men stop work.
hard work, they starve. See Russia.
Tt is conceivable that socialism IN
one of it's various forms, may be able
to subvert society, to occasion losses,
troubles, disaster. It may even kill
the patient, but itself can never sur
vive. It contains it's own doom. 1t
allowed a career, it would in the Sc
ouent catastrophe quickly demonstrate
it's own innate absurdity. 1t essays
to abolish necessity. But all that this
world of nature constitutes for US
human creatures, is collection of nee
essities to which we are bound, from
which we can have no release save

RED CROSS NEWS.

Two thousand home service workers
have been turned out by the American
Red Cross Institutes throughout the
United States within the last year.
This information was brought to the
Northern Division office by Jesse Fred
rick Steiner, Ph. D., Director Bureau
of Training for Home Service of the
Civilian Department at national head
quarters.
Doctor Steiner described with great
enthusiasm the progress of the home
service Institutes which have been con-
Quoted in all the American Red Cross
divisions, particularly during the last
six months.
1--WE had difficulty at first" he says,
because after the field workers were
trained, they were merely good social
service workers, but their training did
not fit them for home service work.
The main trouble was that they were
trained for work in large cities, where
as most OF the actual service needed is
in rural communities where rather diff
ferent methods must be employed We
are now trying to have the home SER
vice training done In smaller towns
and even in villages so that the work
ers may become familiar with the con-
ditions with which they will have to
contend

Who Will Be Our
Future Farmers

]. C. Henning in the Candy Press:
Who are going to be our future farm
ers is question which is worth think
ing about. Everyone realizes that ag-
riculture is the backbone of the coun-
try. At one time in the history of this
country everyone farrned. Each FAM
ily raised things they needed or ex-
changed. some of their products for
products some one else raised.
Al great change has taken place
and people are not so Independent of
one another. The many large indus
tries of the country have drawn peo-
pie from the farms and now small
er proportion of the people have tr
furnish food for the rest of the world
The farmer on the other hand had
very difficult conditions to work un-
der. He now has all sorts of farm I'M
plements to help him in his work also
the automobile, telephone and rural
delivery. He is not as independent
now as he must depend on manufac-
turing concerns to furnish him with
farm implements and he also depends
on manufacturers to change his raw
products into finished products such
as clothing, flour, sugar, etc.
The farmer, however, could exist
under old conditions and get along
without machinery, telephone and
automobiles, but using slang ex-
preston the rest of the world would
| be "up against it, if they did not
have the farm products. So, IL to6
many people leave the farm the food

What Is Socialism?

A man may say that he is a Social
ist. But by that he has not told what
sort of Socialist he is. When it
comes to defining his own socialism,
he may find to his surprise that he
does not know himself. And if he
begins to inquire Of the Socialist lit
erhture, he will discover that there
are diverse and sundry sorts of So
cialists, that new kinds of socialism
are constantly being developed and
old kinds modified.
There is German socialism, which
is MARKHAM and neo-M MARKHAM. There
is French socialism, which has sew
eral different masters. There is Eng
lish socialism, but the members of
the Fabian Society in England never
did agree. In America there is social
ism imported from Germany such as
Victor Berger represents, and social
ism of other varieties, or confessed as
different anyhow by men like John
SpargO, A. NJ. Simons and Charles Ed
ward Russell.
There is one certain thing and that
is that if Socialists had power tomor-
row to put into practice their ideas,
they would separate into ninety and
Nine more or less antagonistic groups.
Lenine and Trotsky in Russia say they
are applying the MARKHAM philosophy.
The German Socialists say now that
they will not have any Bolshevism in
Germany The French Socialists say
German Socialists are not Socialists
at all, and so on and so on.
Socialist in Europe has become a
party name. The political Socialist
is very different from the theoretical
Socialist. And they all divide and
divide into factions, and still more
factions.
There is a body of Socialist phil
os0phy. But the statesmen of the
labor movement, Samuel Gompers, has
this to say of it:
81 want to tell you Socialists that /
have studied your philosophy; read
your works upon economics, and not
the meanest Of them; studied your
standard works both in English and
German-have not only read, but stud
led them. | have heard your orators
and watched the work of your move
nent the world over. have kept
close watch upon your doctrines for
thirty years; have been closely asso-
ciated with many of you, and know
how you think and what you propose,
/ know, too, what you have up your
sleeve. And want to say that am
entirely at variance with your phil
osophy. declare it to you. am not
only at variances with your doctrines
but with your philosophy. Econmi-
cally, you are unsound; socially, you
are wrong; industrially, you are an
impossibility.o
Take all the books OF socialism.
Lump all the platforms of the So
cialist parties. After cutting out all
the n0n-essential Emergencies, and
boiling down the residue, what do you
get?

ONLY SEVENTEEN
DRUNKS ARRESTED
Usual Number in Past Christ
mas Days Exceeded One
Hundred.

Washington. Dec. 2s.-(Special.)-
Washington has made new record
in arrests for drunkenness. Christ
mas eve there were only seventeen
intoxicated persons who occupied the
several police stations in this city
that night. In the old days of the
open saloon, when there was an un-
limited supply Of Christmas cheer
on hand, the usual number of such
cases exceeded 100.---This was when
the city was less congested than now
the marked change is a revelation
to all observant people.
A police officer, who was on duty
here when the saloon was one of the
leading business enterprises and So
cial centers of the city said the COM
parison between the old and the new
order of things was a clear indica-
tion Of the good the dry law had
done. "Then years ago, when the
open saloon fourished," he said, "the
number of drunks was a hundred OF
more on Christmas eye-it was O
case of filing the stations"
During the saloon days 1t was not
an offense against either the law OF
society to get drunk. Intoxicated per-
Sons were merely cared for in the
police stations or hospitals until they
were able to care for themselves
Now. however, the offense Is seri-
GUS one and the cost Is something
to be considered. Any way, the diff.
ference between conditions with re-
spect to liquor now and ten years
ago is marked. and it. must be admit
ted by even the drinkers themselves
that there has been a great improve.

DR.. SGHOTT ASKS
LEAVE TO MAKE BOND

Louisv1Ie. KY, Dec. 29.-Dr. Chris
topher & Schott, Louisville physi-
clan, wa&lin Jail early today awaiting
completieh of arrangements on his
motion pr bail on the charge of
murder, hMyd fIaurene Gardner, a girl
of 13. GsTxhpse testimony he relies
ta bear CIT his declaratin that he IL
innocent, was in the detention home
on a charge of delinquency.
These developments have come to
the front since Dec. "a, when Eliz-
abeth Ford Griffith, DR.. Schott's IT.
year old assistant, was found dead
on the floor of the physicians office
with a bullet through her heart and
his automatic pistol by her side.
Examination by the coroner estab-
lished that Miss Griffith had been
killed between l and o'clock in the
afternoon. Questioned by the police,
DIR. Schott declared he had been de-
livering presents to a number of his
patrons between those hours. The
little Gardner girl stoutly main
tained to the authorities that she was
in his company. The next move OF
the police, however, was to cause her
arrest on the charge of delinquency
DIR. Schott asserts the belief that
| Miss Griffith committed suicide, while
the coroner points to the absence OF
powder stains on her clothing as evil
dence that it would have been ex-
tremely difficult for her to have shot
| herself.
Testimony at DR.. Schott's prelim
mary examination disclosed what the
police term a curious love tangle
The physician admitted, the records
show, that he had been engaged tC
marry Miss Griffith, but that the en-
gagement had been broken after ht

received from other meE. Some time

Chicopee. Mass, Dec. 29.-Search was
continued in this vicinity today for per-
sons connected with the traffic in pois-
onous liquor which has resulted in the
last few days in ata least fifty-seven
deaths, and many cases of serious ILL
ness here and in nearby places. The
death toll at an early hour today was
divided as follows:
Chicopee 81, including two women
Holyoke. 10; Springfield, a. including
one woman; Hadley, 3; Greenfield, l.,

Fourteen arrests of those alleged to
have handled the liquor, which was
found to contain wood alcohol, had been

of the liquor. shipped from Hartford.
