some OF their widest contentious are
OF far greater value to them than seats
in the Legislature. And the befuddled
assemblymen who thus played into the
hands of all radical propagandists gain
nothing.
If they knew little more Of history
and Of the processes Of political
development in their own country they
would be aware that their method can e
not work. 1t is a method that has
been discreditcd everywhere. The
Senate of the United States has had
some good reasons at various times for
wish to resort to it. But the Senate
didn't.
1t has been our boast in America
that the wisdom of early patriots pro
vided, by the constitution, means by
which every man could feel free to
accomplish nationally and by peaceful
methods the sort of reforms that else
where have been attempted by violence.
This was truN. Is it true now in
New York?
The whole state and all its people
have actually contributed, by negli-
gence and a tolerance of ignorance and
corruption. to create the present di-
lemma. For the governing minds in the
Assembly have shown themselves to be
little more inspiring than the five men
just debarred. The people of New York
need to sit up and do some thinking.
The immediate result of the Assembly S
action will bc>new recruits in the So
cialist party and an increased Socialist
vote and larger delegation of Socialist
members clamoring for admission to the
state Legislature.

VictOrs in the Great War

Your organization is selling or
ganization
1t goes out and sells you to the voters
OF the state just as it might go out and
sell rubber tires, or washing machines
in these days of servantless households.
A big selling campaign costs money.
IL must have palatial headquarters,
indicating great prosperity.
1t must have managers who are good
spenders, whose exhibitions of money
inspire belief in success.
1t must advertise and advertise and
advertise.
And it must have as publicity man
an artist at insinuating advertising into
the news columns of the press.
1t must have agents who travel back
and forth seeking how they spend
The one thing that must be always
in sight IS money; in sight. not in reach.
For it to be in sight is not corrupting
for it to be in reach is.
All this costs untold riches, perfectly
legitimately.

WHAT is purchased with this dis

WHAT is purchased with this dis
w play?
Why, moral effect.
The moral effect of large circulation.
The, voters of South Dakota who were
sold on Wood do not nominate him.
i he voters of Michigan who are now
seeing the spenders of $4,000 for dele =
gates do not nominate him.
The delegates Mt the Chicago con
vention will make the nomination.
And the delegates at that convention
will presumably do what dozen or a
score of gentlemen, highly expert upon
moral effects, tell them to do.
1t is for the benefit of this dozen ol
score that the moral effects of Soutl
Dakota and Michigan and elsewhere ar,
being produced by tremendous selling
campaigns.
Upon this dozen or score no conceiv
able moral effect could be accomplished
apart from highly organized ant
amply financed selling campaign.
Therefore vast expenditures are "le
gitimate and necessary"

There is n moral aspect of the case.
of course. which may not be altogether
overlooked. 1t is possible to under
stand the bitterness and the genuine
disgust of men who see cynical and
professed opponents of the democratic
theory about to occupy places of author
ity at the seat of democratic government
But the action of the New York Assem-
bly, cannot be justified on any such
grounds. The five Socialists represented
a considerable class in New York. This
class is now denied the right of repre-
sentation in government. And it was
denied representation by parliamentary
trickery. =
The whirlwind of star spangled ora
tory, the spread eagling of Mr.. Cuvil-
lier and Mr.. McCue, served only to put
more melancholy color upon lament
able episode. These. men were talking
obviously to quiet their own troubling
doubts. The most rational summary of
the case and the sanest appeal for
juster and wiser action came. oddly
enough. from the youthful Colonel
Roosevelt. who fought in France and
endured wounds for the principles which
the Socialists oppose. Colonel Roose-
welt has some right to feel that he is
justified to speak for the American ira
dition. He was, 'of course, over
whclmed.

LNACH Of the Ave Socialist Assembly
IL men elect who have been denied the
right to sit at Albany has managed in
one way or another to offend and af-
font all fair minded people Each talked
like malevolent bigot.
All FIVE exhibited class interest and
sort of brutal partsanship that made
u hardened Tammany man seem. in
comparison. like n gentleman amateur.
They diSregarded the rules of fair play
and good taste in political criticism.
They chanted the gl;ttering platitudes
by which all demagogues live. And yet
they were legally elected to sit in the
Legislature of New York.
They were elected by constituents
whose minds feed on yellow newspapers
and the foreign language press. But
they were elected. And the Assemblymen
who voted them out of their seats have
denied democracy and the whole theory
of democratic government. The party
leaders at Albany who ran the Socialists
out have set themselves above the fed
cral constitution and the constitution
of their own state. They represent q
new and novel sort of autocracy. a new
sort of intolerance. Charles Il. Hughes
didn overstate the case yesterday when
he called them very dangerous friends
OF our institutions.

Many Still Read Dickens.

Charles Dickens has been ruled out
BY class OF the younger literary
critics as decided back number, but
the statement by his British publishers
that during the past three years the
sale of his books has been almost dou-
bled seems TO refute that idea. Some
OF Dickens novels sell more than So
600 every year, and he has been dead
forty eight years. His sales during the
last ten years have been larger, 1t is
asserted, than those Of any three nov
