Of fighting antimilitarist stand. On
he other hand, the St. Louis resolu-
zion, after causing the split away of
an Insignificant group of socialist jim
goes, (Spargo, Walling, ct all,
brought the S. p up against the solid
wall of Gompers' ironclad control of
the trade unions. The socialist lead
ers in the labor movement quickly
made their peace with Gompers. The
theological and organizational strug-
gle within the S. p, between the rank
and file militants who stood for ac-
tive anti-militarism, and the right
wing leadership that wished to ac-
|commodate itself to reality" pre-
pared the ground for the later disinte-
grafton of the Socialist Party.
Effects of The Russian Revolution.
The Russian revolution crashed in
to this situation, upsetting all the old
inertias and balances. The masses in
the unions responded to it with the
most widespread and effective. for
ward movement yet seen. Great
strike after strike shook the country.
ELECTROMAGNETIC millions flooded
into the unions. For the first time mil
liant leadership upon a large scale
was able to appear above the sitting
Gompers bureaucracy, as in the steel
strike. The masses in the trade
unions had been profoundly stirred.
In the I. w. w. the Russian revolu-
ton had been greeted with great ac-
claim. With the development Of civil
war and the accompanying struggle
against anarchist and Menshevik ide-
ology in Russia, a division took place
in the l. w. w. The anarcho-syndical-
list tendency which, combined with a
bastard pacifism, was in control, be-
came definitely antagonistic to the
revolution; at the same time a large
number of the clearer elements defin-
itely began to shed their anti-political
dogmas and to assimiIate the lessons
of the Russian revolution. The de-
velopment OF this Communist wing in

tant and class conscious section of
the American proletariat.
The Socialist Party as a force in
the trade union movement, has played
no dominating role in America.
When it came upon the scene it found
the trade unions already established,
with a crystallized leadership that
was hostile to Socialism. The impa-
tience of the Socialist with this reac-
ionary trade unionism led not only
to the dual unionism which culmin-
ated in the l. w. W., but also divided
he socialists themselves on the trade
union field. The split which divided
the Socialist Party from the Socialist
Labor Party, one of the issues of
which was the latter's policy Of dual
|unionism, did not leave the Socialist
Party free to develop as a power In
the trade union movement. The So
cialist left-wing became militant adj
vocates of the l. w. W., while the
right-wing, which stood for working
within the trade unions, was incap-
able Of developing a real opposition

path and that Cummings curve was
an optical illusion. DULY after the
pitcher had given a demonstration
before a committee of Yale faculty,
in which he set two poles in straight
line and threw ball after ball that
passed one pole on the left and the
other the right, did the "argufiers

Today any sandlot pitcher has his
assortment of curves and breaks.
The national game depends largely
on the skill of the man in the box,
who is merely using variations OF

A New Eden

New Orleans Times Picayune.
Unless all signs fail there will be
a new Garden of Eden in Mesopo-
tamia. Not one but several projects
are afoot to redeem by irrigation that
granary of the ancient world. That
problem which was solved so through
ly by primitive people some thousands
of years ago ought to be simple en-
ough for modern hydraulic and n.y.
drostatic engineers. Even the plans
of the original network of dykes and
canals may be traced by their remains
and Biblical and other records give
evidence of the success of the result
ant agriculture. 1t is improbable,
however, that today's engineers would
limit themselves to the original pro-
gram, for there are obvious wider
possibilities that would reclaim a
wider territory and insure a better
distribution of impounded waters.
According to Bagdad dispatch to
the Times, one of the recommended
undertakings calls for a barrage of
the Diala river joining the heights of
Jebel Hamrin with other hills to the
eastward and forming reservoir of
four hundred square miles. This
water would be available for the irri-
cation of a million and half acres
adjacent to Bagdad suitable for both
wheat and cotton.
It is the latter crop that the English
projectors have most in mind, for
Britain is showing every year a great
er determination to free herself from
American cotton domination. Along
the Euphrates also cotton is to be
foced by every possible means. The
Irak government is said to be heartily
in sympathy with these undertakings,
as well it might be, and Great Bril-
tain has detached Thomas Ward,
former inspector general of irriga-
ton in India, to supervise the Meso-
potamian projects. The whole situa-
ton there is not unlike our own Inn
perial Valley territory, though topo-
graphically less hazardous. The real
uncertainty, however, must ever dwell
in the human factor.

ut Can't Be Done
Milwaukee Journal.

Back in the COS, William A. Cum
mings, an amateur baseball pitcher
who died the other day, got the idea
of the curved pitch from watching
clam shells sail. He believed that by
giving the ball twist as it left his
hand he could impart to it a motion
that would so bank up the atmosphere
on one side of its path that it finally
would be forced from a straight
course.
Other players called him crazy.

For Child Labor Control

Kansas City Star: The child labor
question now is up to the respective
states of the Union. By approving
the house bill to submit a constitu-
tional amendment, the senate has
paved the way for the settlement of
question that has been much dis
cussed for five years.
The amendment would authorize
congress to limit, regulate and pro-
hibit the labor of persons under 10
years of age. If adopted, congress,
of course, would not prohibit the labor
of all persons under Is, but would
have the power to define and enforce
the conditions under which such per-
sons should work.
This amendment would not have
been necessary but for the abusive
treatment of children in several states
by working them when too young,
working them excessively and under
conditions detrimental to health and
development. The supreme court
has declared unconstitutional laws en-
acted by congress intended to serve
the same ends as the amendment now
proposed.
The amendment will depend on the
attitude of the states. 1t is believed
it soon will be ratified by the three
fourths necessary to make it a part
of the Constitution. Public sentiment
generally is favorable to the protec-
ton of children who must work and
the prevention of such work at too
early an age or for other good rea-
sons. Opposition to this humane
policy has been fostered primarily
by certain industries, particularly in
the South, where child labor has been
employed to a large extent.

teen thousand men, women and chill

the prerogatives of sovereignty, con-
troll over life and liberty and for
tune; and this estate Of Cortez, like
most of the other large estates of
Mexico, was entailed and persisted
as a unit up to the beginning OF the
nineteenth century. In fact, the re-
cords show that before disentailment
was imposed this particular estate
had fifteen villas, 157 pueblas, eighty
nine haciendas, 119 ranches, five
estanias and contained 100000 peo-

Nor was this the only large en-
comienda. Pedro de Alvarado receiv-

One of the favorites of the Spanish
king was given what is now the en-
tire state of Guanajuato. AS early
as 1872 there were 507 encomiendas.
In addition, other large estates de-
veloped through one form or another.
The result was that most of the free
communal land holdings of the days
before the conquest disappeared. A
small number of Spaniards owned
practically all of inhabited Mexico as
their private possession
The Spanish kings at different
times tried to destroy, to limit, to
undermine the large estate of Mexico,
but every attempt met with resist
ance, and many law and decree of

peppery Mexican cooking, soak and
boil the kidney-beans as directed, add

another pot try out piece of suet as

come is paid as taxes.
THE indirect taxes are approximately
equal to the direct taxes.
THE direct taxes paid by the railroads
plus the direct taxes paid by their employ

by both, are equivalent to considerably
more than one-eighth of the railway oper
