WOULD PREFER SOCIALISM We have emerged from the heat of the campaign during which judgment may be warped, the spirit of fairness be set aside, and unfounded charges be made, into the calm following the storm, when judgment resumes its sway y when we ean more dearly weigh men, motives and events, and their true relations to each other, sum up the results of the political fight,' and analyze the reasons contributing thereto. There may be found in that analysis some facts worth remembering. One great fact stands out with startling distinctness. That is, that the people of the United States had come to distrust the Republican party and its policies to such an extent that it was, in election, the third of the three largest in the field, and a poor second to the Progressives, an entirely new factor in politics. If the party ever again comes into power, it must be by the complete reversal of the policies that brought it into such universal disrepute, and which have become so interwoven with its history as to seem fundamental and inseparable. The general discontent arose from the governments attitude in economic, industrial and financial matters, and the policies it had adopted in relation thereto, which had come to be generally condemned as being subversive of the rights of the .many in favor of the few. Thomas R, Marshall Democratic elect voiced the general sentiment when he declared: It is idle for a thoughtful man in America, whether millionaire or pauper, to longer play the ostrich. Safety does not consist in hiding ones head in the sands of either senti- meat or hope. It is foolish for the vastly rich to keep on insisting that more and more shall he added to their, riches through a specious system of special legislation ostensibly enacted to run the government, in reality enacted to loot the people. ; ' It is worse than ignorance for them to smile at the large body of intelligent Ameri--r cans who regard themselves fortunate if the - debit and credit accounts of life balance at the end of each year and to assume .that the , mighty many, who are becoming convinced that social system which we call democracy is but a glittering generality,, will long endure the industrial slavery being produced. M ' t The hour has come when patriotism must consist in something more than eulogies upon . the flag. Whether voting the ticket or not, men everywhere looking upon the awful in-- s justice of this economic system are becoming And - socialistic in theory if not in conduct. shall any fair minded man say that, jf it redounds to the interest of the people of this country that a hundred men should control , its business to the good of every one, there is , anything fallacious in the theory that govern-ment instead of transferring business to a favored few for the benefit of all should itself discharge that business for the benefit of all! I have neve been able to convince myself that either system would not cast a pall over human action and dull the motives which have heretofore moved mankind to the very. ' loftiest endeavor. And yet I do not hesitate to say that if it be impossible to restore this do not republic to its ancient ideals, which I choice ultimate the make must I and believe, between the paternalism of the few and the socialism of the many, count me and my house with the throbbing hearj of humanity.

As has been frequently stated, home is what you makeUt, Of the perils to" those .who have not the home instinct or habit, and of the advantages attending its ' personal ownership, - a . wise writer remarks : There is a mode of life among some of the people in our larger cities that is being aped It i a , to some extent in our smaller' ones.' habit of eating in public, talking loudly and s seeking attention, overdressing in cost and underdressing in modesty, scoffing at conser- - ? vative cbnduct, sleeping in a house and living more fun out of . all over the town, getting ' spending than out of earning, living each day as though there were no tomorrow. In men it makes them abandon temper-- f ance for excess, speculate Instead of invest, want to make more so they may spend more, wish to get rich quickly instead of acquire a competence surely to esteem notoriety above reputation, to live in the world instead of in the home. In women It makes them disdsain the nobility of motherhood and the duties of the housewife, to lobk upon jpaarriage not as an institution but. as a gratification, to put beauty of appearance above beauty of character, to mistake excitement for pleasure. In both it makes selfishness jupreme and aids the immoral and inspires the extravagant. It is a tendency to be combatted both in our-- ; selves fnd in those whose well being we hold dear. And it is best combatted by that insti-tution known as the home, i The more attractive the home, the less attractive the street. The greater the home influence, the less the influence of the world.. The more comfort, the less desire for luxury. If you could trace the lure of the lights to its source you would find it in part at least in the rented house, the home that is occupied without the sense of proprietorship or permanence, the home that is a physical convenience instead of a mental Refuge. The real home, the home that will keep the daughter out of the cafe and the son out of the resort, is the home that is owned. And the father who builds a- home builds more than a house. He builds character in his , children and competence in his age. He better, , makes himself happier, his children his town bigger and brighter.

A LION In the American BY THE PRESS AGENT , Magazine,. Stewart Edward White , writes a most interesting article on Mon hunting.lt is based on experiences he recently had' on a yeaFs hunt in Africa, during which1 he saw over seventy lions. An extract from the article follows : To the man not temperamentally qualified,' lion shooting is dangerous enough.The lion, when he takes the offensive, intends, to get his antagonists Having made up his mind to that, he charges home, generally at great . speed. The reaUzation that it is the mans Mfe or the beasts, is disconcerting, Also the charging lion is a spectacle much more in reality than the most vivid imagination can predict. He looks very large, very determinned, and has uttered cerg tain rumbling, ' threats as to what he is going to do about it. It suddenly seems most undesirable to allow that lion to come any closer not even an inch! A hasty, nervous shot misses . An un wounded lion, charging from a distance,' is said to start rather slowly, and to increase his pace only as he closes. Personally I have neyer been charged by an unwounded behst ; but I can testify that the wounded animal comes very fast. Cunningham puts the rate at about seven seconds to the hundred yards. Certainly I should say that a man charged from fifty yards or so would have little chance for a second shot, provided he missed the" first. A hit seemed, in my experience, to check" the animal, by sheer force of impact, Tong enough to permit me to throw in another cartridge. A lioness thus took four frontal bullets starting at about sixty yards. An intital miss would probably have permitted her to close. 'Here, as can be seen, is a great source of danger to a flurried or nervous beginner. He does not want that Mon to get an inch nearer; he fires at too long a range; misses, and is killed or mauled before he can reload. This happened precisely so to two young friends were armed with double rifles, let them off hastily as the beast started at them from two hundred yards, and never got another chance. If they had possessed the experience to have waited until the lion had come within fifty yards they would have had the almost certainty of four, barrels at close range.Though I have seen a lion missed clean' well inside tbose limits. From such performances are socalled lion accidents built. During my stay in Africa I heard of six white men being killed by lions,, and a number of others mauled.' As far as possible I tried the - facts of each ease.In every instance the trouble followed either foolishness or loss of nerve. I beMeye I should be quite safe In saying that from indentieally the same circumstances any - of the good lion men Tarleton, Lord Dela-merthe Hills and others would have extricated themselves unharmed. ' This does not mean that accidents may not happen. Rifles jam but generally because of.,flurrl-fe- d manipulation tone may unexpectedly meet th lion, at too close quarters; a foot may slip, or a cartridge prove defective; So may1 one fall downstairs, or Bump ones head in the dark.

Finding they must make good their first suspicions, they bend every effort to the one end that of fastening the chain of guilt on their victim. The method of the police department, together with the powerful influence of the press are vividly shown. For the flint time on any stage, the audience is treated to a visual demonstration of the workings of the detective department of a large city.
