SOCIALISM CUTS WAGES.
In Sweden It Levels Rates Down, No
 Up. Says Dr. Baker.

That Swedish socialism has di- rectly opposite trend to the socialism in the United States. so far as the wage question is concerned, is the finding of Dr. Hugh P. Baker, execu- tive secretary of the American Paper and Pulp association. who is now in Europe on a tour of investigation of the paper industry there.
 Swedish socialism" says Dr. Baker in the course of trade letter, means a leveling down of the wages of the skilled worker to the earnings of the unskilled worker. In America, so- cialism has meant leveling up the common labor to the standards of the skilled workers and the intelluctuals.

PROPHECY
By DR.. Frank Crane

Some scientific gentleman, whose name es-
capes me now, declared that the human
mind, some time or other, ought to be SO de-
Veloped that it could read the future as Wen
as the past.
This state of things has hardly yet come
to pass, and the forotelling of the future is
still confined mostly to Queen Alice, who oc-
cupies the third floor back a side street.
Most scientists whose names are followed by
large sections of the alphabet in capital let
tiers arc chary of the foretelling business
STILL it ought to be possible to predict in
/ general way by simply Loting the progress
of the past and the trend of the present.
It ought not to be an outrageous assump-
ton to decla. that in time regult.. fleet OF
transatlantic liners will fly in the air from
London to New York; or that the next war
will see whole populations exterminated by
poison gas; or that the future household Will
be almost entirely electrical; or that water
power and the energy of the sun will some
day take the place of coal; or tnat some
combustible product of vegetable matter Will
replace gasoline in automobiles, and so on.
At least, no one can deny that we are
headed in this direction.
Apropos of this, we md in an old book
--ritten by the Marquis d'Argenson, in 1850,
the following passage, which, at thls tlme'
makes curious reading:
eve have no right to call the idea mao
one. I am persuaded that one or the olS-
coyeries soon to be made is the art or Tying
in the air. IL is IN tnls maAueI Lnat Ho1i
shall travel swiftly and comfortably, and
sha even carry merchandise, in great flying
vessels. There will be aerial armies. Ou'
present Notifications will become useless.
The artillery will have to learn to shoot on
the wing. We will have to have in the king
dom new ministry, that Of Secretary of
State for Aerial Forces The science OF
physics should lead us to this discovery. why
should we not initiate the flying birds?"
We can easily understand that this proph-
ecy of d'Argenson was Judged nd pished and
flushed as roundly ~ the practical mel of his
da as ever the piping prophets of the future
are condemned now. And yet, VOLTA!
Of course, prophecy is an easy business
that calls only for living imagination, but
we do not speak of those prophecies which
are the mere voicngs Of fancy, but rather of
those which are logical projections of tenden-
cies now in full operation

Ra;;nmakers

COUPLE Of decades ago, one Jack
~ Prince gained for himself in Allan
ia the sobriquet Of "The Rain-Maker."
Mr. Prince was an impresario who staged
bicycle races in an open cycledrome, and
when he picked his best events, which
usually included that famous Atlanta rider,
Bobby Walthour, the elements almost in
variably wept.
A decade before that, there was hectic
endeavor D make rain for Kansas and other
mid-western agricultural states by firing ar
tillery at the sky, the Indifferent success OF
which gave rise to i. whimsical verse in a
whimsical ballad of that era:
"The rain never falls, in Kansas
The rain never falls, in Kansas
Oh the rain never falls,
Till they shoot the Cannon balls,
Then it rains in every other state but Kan
sas!"
Now we have accounts of more scientific
efforts to produce precipitation at Medicine
Hat. which, in addition to being one OF the
chilliest places on the American map, also
is strikingIy devoid Of rain at some sea-
sons.
Dr. Harold Jeffreys in an English maya
zine, does not fall in line with three rous-
ing cheers over the latest endeavors to as
sist or stimulate nature.
DR.. Jeffreys re,ounts the method as a
"tank filled with unspecifed chemicals, ex-
posed 25 feet above the ground" which
''had the effect of producing eight inches OF
rain in three months at Medicine Hat, ~
miles away" The theory, he says, was that
the apparatus attracts cloudL from otner
localities to Medicine Hat and causes them
to precipitate their n DISTURB there.
The result of the chemical activities DUR
ing the period of the contract" to make
rain was not encouraging, according to Dr.
Jeffreys, who cold-bloodedly went to the Of
fetal weather records for May, June and
July. the period of the contract"
'The official rain-gauge at Medicine Hat,
says DR.. Jeffreys, recorded As inches OF
rain for these months, which is 1.3 inches
less than the norm i for that station in those
months
This hard-boled check on the elements
must have been disconcerting to the pro-
motors of the newest plan to make it rain.
more practical plan, in the light of ira
dition, would be to get Jack Prince to erect
a motordrome at tEs center Of the drought
stricken territory and essay to put on week
of racing.
Atlantians doubtless could be found who
would back Mr.. Prince to produce rain at
any locality at any season.

Ne1O York Democratic Aqa;,,

"HE enrolment of registered voters in
New York City being complete again,
shows the Democrats in excess of
Republicans by matter of 100000, and
the theory of enrollment-to express the
.rty or partisan attitude of the electorate
is correct, then New York is to be regard
~'0"e a Dem ocratic city.
A year ago the enrolment found the Re-
publicans in the majority by $4,000; and
it was hastily and confidently proclaimed
by mem bers of that party that New York ha
become a Republican city.
1t developed, however, that the appear
ance Republi ~anism was nothing more
nor less than a whole-souled desire to swat
the Democratic party at that juncture. That
being done, the deserters returned to the
proceeded to the framing of a ne.rly
straight Republican ticket this year in the
city elections, they were amazed by thu
solidarity of the opposition and the en-
thusiasm with which the majorities were
rolled Ut against them.
An analysis of the figures in The New
York World indicates that rather more than
half the voters in New York City are strict
partisans, who register and vote straight,
either Democratic or Republican. An i'm
portant minority, quite sufficient to hold
the ba!anc of power. with possibly 900
votes to spare, may just as well be counted
on to shift from side to SIDE
At that, New York is normally a Demo
cratic city; and the latest enrolment prob
ably represents substantially it's normal di-
vision.

automobile highway jointly constructed by
the Forest Service, the Bureau Of Public
Roads and the Alaska Road Commission.
When completed the highway will run for
sixty miles from the town of Juneau to Ber-
ners Bay, and will pass total of four gla-
ciers, the Mendenhall, the Herbert, the Lem

the whole North American continent. Dur

An interesting description of the scenery
along the highway IS given by John D. Guth-
RE, of the U. S. Forestry Service, writing in
American Forestry, O Washington. He says:
"Autos may approach within a few hun
dred yards of the glacier, and visitors by a
short walk past the power plant may go out
