Inherited Victory

They complain that they inherited
trouble. May be, but they also in
herited the means to deal with it.
They inherited the results of war
but they also inherited victory. They
inherited heavy debt, but they also
inherited restored national credit and
a large financial surplus. They in
herited unemployment-they also in
herited the most perfect machinery
in the world for dealing with it.
They inherited trouble in Europe,
but they also inherited the advan-
tage which comes from the complete
failure of militarism in France and
the equally complete fiasco of isola-

be obliged to come to Parliament for
the loan of perhaps 100000 pounds
of British money, to be spent by the
Communist government of Russia.
Some of it must be devoted to the
purchase of British goods But a
good deal of it must be handed over

On the homeward ride Underwood
and his foreman rode together, talk
ing of the ranch. That left Sally
and Chester Underwood paired. Ches-
ter found himself in a state of agree
able surprise. He did not know that
cooks were young and good to look
at, and knew how to sit ir a saddle.
He did not know that they could
laugh and talk and be unaffectedly
interesting at the same time, But
he discovered all these things, and
he forgot that the ranch bored him.
He had quite a gay time of it all the
( way home. People from the East al

liked to hear about things to which
she knew very little, being pos
sessed of healthy and enthusiastic
curiosity. She led him to talk as
much as he would, and found him
willing.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

n ALLY'S day did not brighten
IL until afternoon, when Charley
LII made a suggestion. The
Underwoods had ridden back into the
hills to see some of the prize cattle;
they might not be back until late. If
Sally and the Wreck wanted to take
a couple of horses and look around a
bit they could have their pick Of
what was left in the corral. Charley
thought he could find riding skirt
for her; there were always some out
fits for possible guests.
The Wreck did not enjoy his ride
He never did, although it would
have been useless to expect him to
admit it, If only he knew where
Charley had hidden the front wheel
Of the flivver he could laugh at every
horse in Montana. But just now
there was a certain method in his
grim purpose to stay in the saddle.
If things came to the worst, he and
Sally could steal horses, and with
that event as possibility he was be-
hooved to learn something about
this painful and primitive method Of
travel.
Sally had just suggested that they
turn back, certain that by the time
they reached the house the Wreck
would have enough for the day,
when they encountered the Under
woods-father, son, and daughter. 1t
was her first close glimpse of the
family, and she studied them with
interest, especially Harriet. Charley
performed the Introduction.
The Underwoods did not pay much
attention to the Wreck, but they

Socialism May Come

wonder how many there are who
realize how near we may be to that
state of things. A small percentage
of change IN the present electorate
Will have that inevitable result. At
the last election, the Socialists fell
short of first place by less than l.
500 900 votes, that is. Z per cent
Of the electorate. Over 1000 900
voters did not go to the polls at all
at that election. Colossal efforts are
being made by Labor agencies to
secure the support of the apathetic
next time. A few votes captured
from amongst the Liberal and Con-
servative working men and their
wives. added to 80 per cent of the
unpolled, would give Socialism a
sweeping victory at the next cleo
ton. Then the mask Of sweet rea-
! son and moderation viii be torn off
+ and there viii appear the stern face
! OF the relentless enemy which has
/ pursued private enterprise and indi-
vidual property for fully a genera
| ton and at last tracked It down.
Socialism is approaching skiufully,
under cover. TO a grand attack on
the existing order of society. There
are honest men in the press helping

least IDEA whet they are doing.

Receives Party Support

This was moved a year ago It
then received the official support OF
the whole Socialist party. Ramsay
Macdonald wound up the debate up
on it in a strong and unequivocal
speech. Ramsay Macdonald has now
been prime minister for seven
months. Snowden has, for that pc
rod. been chancellor Of the exchequer.
The party which. voted so sOlidly for
that Socialistic announcement has
been in Office for the term Of an or
binary Parliamentary session. How
fares 1t with the "capitaIstic sys-
tenn" which was denounced. as the
root Of all evils?
No gardener has ever shown more
tender care for any root than the
Socialist government has for capital
ism. Every effort 10 injure it has
been strongly avoided There has
not been much done TO strengthen or
foster capital, but that failure has
been so obviously owing TO ineffi-
cheney or sheer tinidity and not to
hatred of the evil thing. Speeches de-
nvered by the Socialist ministers in
Parliament and outside at assem-
blies and Populations Of financiers
and business men have breathed the
very essence OF sympathy for prop
erty, credit and Individual enter
prise. Everything has been done to

IS &c Decisions

Judged as \ bourgeois government,
how have they done2 Very uneven
". Some have done quite well.
some very badly and some have done
both. In judging any government.
one must bear in mind that. in gen
eral, 1889 decisions out of 10 900 are
taken and given by the permanent
civil service. The remaining one is
often recommended by them and
generally is taken after their advice
has been heard. The influence Of the
ministers is felt in the spirit in
which the law Is administered, in the
l drive given TO the administration in
the encouragement Of new ideas and
in the ten-thousandth big thing,
which emanates from the brain of
/ the head Of the department.
In these respects. this government
has, so far, not displayed a very no.
table improvement on its predeces-
/ sors. There may be one or two ex-
/ ceptions. In the foreign office, Mr..
/ Ramsay Macdonald IS a change for
the. better in comparison with Lord
Curzon. He could not possibly be
otherwise There is, after all, only
ore Lord Curzon. Mr.. Phillip Snow

has shown much personality. The
same observation applies to Mr.. J. H.
Thomas. Mr.. Wheatley is still in
doubt. He is an able parliamen-
tartan and one or two Of his speeches
I have heard have been simply first
rate. But his reputation will depend
on the success Of his housing
schemes, and that is still in great
doubt.

Liberals Use Pressure

Under Liberal pressure, they con-
scented at last to the use OF State
credit TO enable householders to pur-
chase their own houses at a reason
able price. What more assured
method is there Of spreading the
roots of that pernicious capitaIstic
system than to create thousands OF
new capitalists throughout the land?
They had one lapse. For this their
leaders were not to blame. On Fri
day afternoon, they voted for a pri-
vate bill, the object Of which was
TO syndicaIize the mines of this
island. They could not help it. The
bill was not introduced by the gov
eminent. 1t was not moved in gov
eminent time. But having been put,
introduced, and pressed to second
reading by its promoters. the Social
list ministers were forced to support
it. They did it so reluctantly that 1t
was clear they did not enjoy the
process.
If the Liberal leader pulls the trig-
ger, this government is dead. And
il knows it. That is one reason why
the Socialist prime minister hates
the Liberals with a savage i'll will
that he cannot conceal. His sup
porters are in the minority in the
House of Commons. Without the
Liberal vote. his government could
not live one parliamentary day.
Hence this temporary abandonment
of the wild ways of Socialism and
this quiet walk in the older and safer
maths of liberalism

Experiment Not Started

The Socialistic experiment has not
vet commenced. When will it be-
gin? This depends upon the extent
to which the Nation is deceived by
the present show of moderation and
also upon the success which the gov
eminent achieves in its present role.
It cannot be more than a temporary
expedient to get through an awk-
ward pass. 1t would be a SANDER on
the integrity mad honor Of the So
cialist leaders to assume that all
their thirty years virulence against
capital an dprivate property was a
pretense to win the favor of the vio-
lent and that they meant nothing
of it.
But the moment the Socialist lead
ers think the delusion of the country
is complete, if at that time the gov
eminent has scored a political
success, either in home or foreign
affairs, they will dissolve this Par
lament, in the hope OF securing
another more TO their purpose. If
the next gives them a Socialist ma
jority, then we shall see for the first
time what Socialism means in action.
When impatient Socialists - and

can always plead the Parliamentary
