CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL is
remembered not only by the So
cialists of New York state, whose
gubernatorial candidate he was at the
time when the socialist party had
been still in its glory. He had been
quite frequently seen on the socialist
platforms throuout the United States.
Yet his sudden disappearance from
the socialist ranks caused no more
stir than that of other shining
lights" Nor is it surprising now to
learn the two causes for his breaking
away from the party-"The st. Louis
platform of 1917 and the perform
ances of the wild-eyed in Russia"
THESE two events, which stand out
L as the two bright spots in the
drab past of the socialist party, were
the last straws which broke his So
cialist back. He and the American
people" can never forgive the socialist
party these two sins, though the lead
ers tried hard to repent. AS for Mr.,
Russell himself, he covered quite a
distance, since he parted company
with the socialist party. In fact he
went so far that he is even ashamed
of his own socialist past. Now he
stands on the solid rack of the Amer
lean type of democracy, and from
his lofty heights he advises the So
cialist party "to can all this stuff
about scientific socialism and all the
Technology jargon that goes with it.
There is no "class consciousness" in
this country and will not be in your
time. 1t is worse than useless to talk
about it. Forget all about the econ
omic Interpretation of history and
value, price and profit. These are
things for the classroom, not for
hustings. Drop all the names and
abstruse dogmas that you have learn
ed at the feet of long-winded pro-
phets of the International. They will
never go here"
MR.. RUSSELL, as we see, is quite
IVA mature person, and classroom
stuff is quite unbecoming such a re-
spectacle gentleman. That this wis
dom is borrowed from the A. F. of L.,
he is ashamed to acknowledge, for it
does not befit such an independent
thinker" as he deems himself to be,
to follow the footsteps of lesser pro-
phets than the "long-winded prophets
of the International" Yet prophecy
must be quite an alluring occupation,
in spite of its dangers to fall into
company of fools instead of the wise,
and Russell could not resist the temp
tation of predicting that there will
not be any class consciousness in your
time"
/ 0F COURSE, his wisdom is not ex-
v hausted by his prophecy or advice,
and he further teaches the radicals"
to drop the word "comrade" out Of
their vocabulary, as ''you can never
make Roadway with a political party
in America whose members call one
another by any such name. 1t only
makes Americans stare and laugh
which is bad for your Awnings" The
ex-"comrade" feels provoked Of this
nlebian name in the "decantv conn

And so "Inheritors" remains an es-
say rather than a play. 1t remains
far-off, like an echo of something
lived and seen, like a faded photo
graph. It's revolt is sincere, but
bloodless, bookish. It's spirit has
beauty, but the minor beauty Of
miniatures and old prints. Even SO,
it is worth seeing. Eva LIE Gallienne
gives it a simple, earnest production
with Josephine Hutchinson as an ex-
cellent Madeline.

The butt did not take well in the

goods which they We're making and

some butts, flush bolts, barrel bolts
and other goods polished, plated and
finished in various colors and finish

the Stanley Works plating, buffing,

work OF plating, buffing and lac

goods increased SO that more help
had to be put on and eventually a
force OF over 800 hands was employ

department.. Labor saving devices
were invented, some of which were
patented, and the Stanley Works

Board of Public Works
Jams Through Project
in Spite of Property
Owners Protest

At the regular weekly meeting of
the board of public works last eve
ming at the city hall, it was voted
by the board TO recommend to the
common council, the widening OF
Stanley street from Chestnut street
to Kelsey street and that the benc-
its and damages be referred to the
board of compensation and adjust
ment.
This project aroused storm Of
protest at the last meeting OF the
board during which several clashes
between the board members and
property owners occurred, the chief
objection of the Stanley street resi-
dents being that although they lost
land they would still be assessed for
the benefits. The vote by count Of
the residents of the street showed
overwhelming opposition to the
scheduled move.
The street widening had once
previously been recommended to
the common council but was return
cd by that body for another hear
ing upon appeal OF Alderman Wal
ter Falk who stated that the resi-
dents of the district felt the charge
for benefits unjust.
4 hearing was held on the ques-
ton OF the installation OF walks and

voted by the board to recommend
the installation by September /.
