Pp. ; 336. Price $1.50 net. Boston: James H West and Company1' This work is one of the most important recent .contributions to the rapidly growing literature of Socialism from the -scholarly pens. It is a volume of great value for the general reader,- because of the clear; concise yet thoroughly comprehensive manner in which the history, philosophy, aim, aspirations and practical purposes of Socialism are set forth. ', In the opening chapter the author briefly but lucidly sketches the social unrest that found expression In the Revolutionary War, and which even prior to the opening of the struggle had for yeara been growing ln France and to, some extent In other European nations. After the French Revolution gave way to the imperialism of Bona- aparte, social unrest,again became rife largely through the Introduction of machinery and replacing of adult labor with child labor. The sufferings of the*' poor and the unrest- of the hour were followed by various plans on the part of philanthropists to meet the evil economic conditions ,of the day. The author gives. a. brief and Interesting description of the Utopian Socialists, Saint-Simon, Robert Owen, Fourier and, Louis. Blanc;. and.-this leads , to the consideration - of. Ferdinand Lassalle, who might be terrtied the John tlie Baptist of modern Socialism, and .Karl Marx, the founder ,or greatest apostle.' of. international scientific Socialism. » The author shows how capitalism has uccome more'ahd more aggressive,' lawless and law-controlling, especially In the New World;"aiid then he passes lio a consideration ,of "An Unconscious Socialism Making Its Way ih Law and Custom.'"" 7 •* ' "Tlie two' fundamental purposes of Socialism," he ob'ser'ves,"a're collective ownership of utensil's, 'machinery- lifting labor" out of bondage to capital and the abolition, s,r great restriction of, inheritance, . so * that every*' per*: son, may (except in so far "as natural endowments differ) have* approximately an equal chance in the world.' - •' The time.was when men looked.for this transformation to be-wrought by forcible revolution, ■ but "at 'present," our author holds, "Socialists generally are coming to doubt that the substitution or.anew social order for'the "old y from . tlio nude tf«*..''.-Wll.__'' Is lio wortii f.

", It has resulted beyond a question.in saving the lives of thousands of children. "Railways, telegraphs and telephone lines, have now been built or purchased by the state, .until lt has now a-practical monopoly — a procedure which has proved highly advantageous both to the Belgium public-and. to the state treasury. 'Tn .Switzerland,-'the state has expropriated , the distilleries, and purchased at great cost the railways; at the same time reorganizing the much "extended civil,service In such a manner as'to-disconnect it.from politics, so that the fall of a party produces no disturbance in state industries'. " The government, of meii and the administration of things are'so separated as not to Interfere with eacli other."

"In 'Sweden "and Norway? "the manufacture and sale of liquors were long since taken under'rigorous state'control, with .results in! the lessening of drunkardne'ss 'eminently gratifying.

Death in the Mine • i * The' fact that tliere are 1,049,0,00 persons employed in mining in the United Kingdom, and,that no fewer than 1,620 persons were killed in mining disasters last year, is the main reason for the" enthusiastic reception which was accorded Mr. Winston Churchill's Coal Mines Bill on- its second reading in the House of. Common's. That', a large number of the fatal' accidents in mines are due to ignorance or carelessness' is uiiquesiioned, and there are well-founded hopes that the Home.

" The apparatus provided for this purpose is a,great horizontal tube of'.boiler plate, 100 feot long and,wide enough for a men to walk through, without striking his head against the ceiling. Along the open end of tho tube is placed a drumhead of heavy paper, and the Inside Is,then' filled with fire damp or coal dust, which Is thoroughly mixed until It is of tho same constituency as Is ordinarily found In mines, Tho drum-, held keeps the mixture from escaping and at tho other end of tho big tube is a 12 foot cubo of reinforced concrete holding a mortar aimed down tho tube and loaded with ono of Iho explosives used In mines.

" This grows out of the explosion of the,Los Angeles Times Building * on October lst, 1910, when twenty-one lives were lost. Tlie facts in this.later case, so far'as known ,. are, that General Ilarriscon .Grey Otis, the proprietor of the publication in' questibn, one of the rabid union haters on the continent of America, came out boldly stating that this was the'work of-the or ganization, and-attributed to them all kinds of ue farious deeds. • From, Los Angeles came the news by wire that John J. McNamara, the Secretary-Treasurer of the Structural Ironworkers gave out a statement from the jail to-day ,in which he declares his innocence ' and asks the public to suspend judgment until an opportunity for a full and fair defense liad been ".afforded. . This is the only logical course that can be pursued' and yet there are many "when once a, trade, unionists is, involved that, are unfortunately too prone to accept the naked charge's as proof:of ' guilt, as they pass'judgment of va purblind mind; ■ and:a'll tlie.pld.suggestions.relative- to" a man being considered innocent until,proven guilty, are scatter ed-to the'four'winds of 'heaven.... The simple fact that he may have been one 'who-was joined with his fellow 'workers for the purpose* p_ attempting to better , in his judgment, his own as w_ell as..the con- ditions of his* colleagues, is accepted" as' sufficient guarantee that any-crime itt" the "wholes "category may be expected of him. The celebrated Colorado Idaho case which lias already been.alluded to, after months of wearisome legal battling, and the iniquitous treatment riieted <>ut to many innocent, women women finally culniinated.hi the-acquitt&l of-, the men whom it* was-evidently tlie" intention of "'"the mine ownwp to" railroad .to the gallows'; and, further more, ns additional evidence of *thc fact that they were by no means connected'with the terrible outrage, thc Stato of Colorado was compelled'to award- over #60,000 damages for injuries* caused., This latter fact, however, wns given but scant notice' throughout tho press, nnd thereon ro many who still labor under the mistaken apprehension that,' nllliongh acquitted, thesc-.men were guilty; yet tho faut* that the stato was compelled to, pay damages, coupled with tho circumstances that was obtained of base trickery that the detective agency would resort to in order, to gain tlieir ends should have convinced them 'of, the futility, of a: repetition of such-methods. * Orf th£ orie„side we have a very large number of citizens recognized'to lielqien of character.and reputation—men'wbp.gairi nothing for their;.cause1"byi'deeds/ 'of stjyiblerice4— charged with infamous projects, andlielcl _ri-prison with a total disregard of any legal formula.- They are'kept without allowance of. either attorney,or i * -. **j$,» i \r f { ' ', - v '* t • • '• * ' f-y ■-*.*■ ' ■ "t^"** ; 'pther'.meahs of defense,' subject-.to7>the- infamous sweat box methods;* kidnapped f'acrbss 'the" contiri- .ent upon -the evidence of those who are merely pro^ .tQtypes .of the agents provocative,, which ai*e -part and parcel of Russian'poliee^tacties./*"1 However, let us ask the public toJshpWthat cautibh aiid prudence.-before reaching "a-judgment .that'McNamara asks for, that is let him be considered innocent uutil the, whole details-, are made public*- ",, -.

The Revolutionary Precedent Here in the United States, hack in the'-dnys when tea-parties .were conducted on a scale which has made all sucfi functions before* or since insignificant, a group of resolute-persons signed papers and shed blood and did other grown-up.things lo indicate that they felt determinedly capable of managing their .own affairs. . They had come from' land where resoluteness and intelligence had *won many battles, and to their inheritance had been added an environment' ,as ■ rich in hardships as in promises. Circumstances like-these had certain inevitable results.' ^ "* ' , Some of these ancestors of ours , framed,*' as well as they knew how, a constitution for the guidance, of the valiant craft that they had launched upon the sea of independence. Others of them, filled with tho same spirit and capable in a different way, wove pieces of cloth of red and blue and ■white and made a flag of thirteen stripes and stars which ■ should he ,, forever the emblem of that Glorious Discontent which,* they ,had known. Shortly, some very remarkable things came to pass, the outward signs of which were "that those qualities which had formerly gone to designate a "rebel" now constituted a "patriot," .and the verb "to govern" was hence- ' forth to be used in the active rather than (he passive voice. Is Democracy a Success? In the years since 1776 tlie question has often, and not without reason, been asked, "Is this much-desird democracy a success?" From a mate'r- iaiistic standpoint, certainly there are many who have fallen behind,.in the race. Throughout our broad" country ' with all its opportunities, we. find thousands whose * condition-* is vastly different from what our Fourth of July orators ..would have us believe. ' But the basis of democracy is an equal chance for everyone, and, -where want'and'-misery exist, cannot they be front us as a nation, just increased ihe country's chances of moral or material prosperity, and has derived personal benefit from the effort. Thus, in spite of the sad discrepancy between the ideal democracy and: that iwhich exists',' we Americans still stand by the'decision'of '76 in _'our belief in the ultimate superiority of a ""government by the people to be made pos-^ sible'and carriea* oh-oy means of enfranchising* it's citizens. To our minds, equal gain' conies to the nation from the' stimulus given to tlie thinking and acting powers of ,the citiztyi and from the co-operation and representation of all elements of the state. .- • •'"' 7 .' Half of'the People Left Out, - From this' standpoint of the value of equality of opportunity comes the slogan ot the woman suffragist, who answers alarmists and reactionaries with the' assurance that' "the cure for the "evils of democracy is more democracy." Now we,come to an exceedingly curious piece of inconsistency In Lhe working out of this wonderful-spirit of freedom of-ours. Wei have left entirely out of account one entire-half of our population.* Women Unfit and a Peril?" - There are only two reasons for withholding the franchise from the citizen of a republic. \ Either personal unfitness must be "alleged, or peril from giving them the* ballot must be proved. In this case, one, allegation serves to cover both charges. . Its extreme age saves'it from utter ridicule, and it is solemnly asserted'that these people in question cannot be given "the vote because they are women. Are women personally unfit and a public peril? It, is au extraordinary kind of "chivalry" on tlie part of men. and of .self-respect on the part of women that allows this course of reasoning to,stand approved. i '* Where Women Vote John Stuart Mill; nearly fifty years ago- said:. '.'Neither birth, nor merit, nor exertion, nor intellect, nor fortune: nor even that great 'disposer of human affairs .accident, can'enable any woman to have her voice counted, in those common concerns which;touch her and hers as nearly as any. other person in tlie nation." 7This*, is" no longer, literally, true, -as in-New" Zealand;- Norway, Finland and,Australia, Wyoming,, Colorado, "Utah■; and Jdaho, leon rebuked-Madame" de. Stael for concerning _erself with statecraft. "Sire," she replied, "when women have their heads cut off-Tlt is but just that'they should kiio.w .he'reason!',\ „,' information have been consulted in vain the !fianl 'explanation'.'is usually to be discovered in "we sentiment of society.". Some of society's most for-, midable sentiment's will .be found to have taken rise, from entirely outgrown conditions.-. And yet, simply because they, are sentiments, they have" all • the force "and weight' bf the mightiest axioms. Even after their falsity * of principle is established, effects linger with astonishing persistency. It has been some time 'since women- who -were • usual burned * for witchcraft, yet fifty years ago, when Susan B. Anthony wished to speak before a teachers convention, two- thirds of .whose members w.ere women, she was said to" "seek to uproot the theory and practice of tho whole world, and to "introduce a vast social evil." We no longer profess to believe' in the right, of one human being ' to dispose of another oi; of another's possessions, yet only 13. put' of ,-lG'states give to mothers any of the guardianship rights,, over their children whicli fathers" have. We no longer agree • with Rousseau * that "every daughter ought to be''of the same religion as her mother, * and every wife lo be, of the,same religion as her husband; ror, though such religion should be .false, that docility which' induces tho mother and daughter torsubmit"to'the order of nature" (i, e., of the father) "takes away in the sight of God the criminality of their error.' However,-, cartoons in which the mother of a family Is represented, as "talking politics" with the father? and "telling him' how she has decided to vote, are regarded as Religion and Intrinsically ludicrous. politics, politics and religion, where is traced to lack'-, of the application of this very principle?. Surely,- there is more incentive',to labor when, thej "producer is master bf the profits, and as a nation, there can be no denial of the tremendous economic pre-eminence that we have attained. '. Similarly, in the'system of representative government which we,have evolved, where thoso chosen to manage affairs are supposed to he merely tho agents of their fellow-citizens, instances 'come thick and fast upon us . of.rnisplucctl trust and power turned to illegitimate ends. ' ,, * Not Fault of Democracy . Yet. deep within us, some things in- ' slst' tlmt this is not tho fault of democracy, but of the human errors that creep into our ways of handling it. "In a despotism there is al most ono patriot, Iho despot himself." Wo caro about what wo can servo. Wq;sooji lose Interest ln. whatever can got on well enough without, us. So every porson who, touched by a sen ho of individual reBponslblllty tries to solve somo ono of tho probloms that con- woinen^how"HaveTfuir suffrage .rigHtSTT and the municipal suffrage in England, Scotland,- Ireland;""" Wales,' British America, Iceland,' Sweden and thc State of Kansas. , The evidence gained from these sources' goes- to show that some women have beco'mo extremely capable 'politicians, just as- some womeni have , made exceptionally good .doctors, lawyers, health officers, bankers, school superintendents or deputy sheriffs, while-most o£i tho new citizens have shown decided interest in and aptitude for public affairs.' Now, Uio wonder is why,' since actual exporlonco hns shown that the principles of democracy apply In exnetly the name way to ono sex ns to the other, has the woman's struggle for recognition been such a 'tedious, wearisome affair .and still .without culmination in tho greater' part of tho civilized world? , -'Sentiments of Society." Whon' ono comes across a condition of affairs that seems diametrically opposed to logic—utterly without reason or rhyme—nflor all oilier boutcob of the difference in principle? If women are deemed capable of serious thought on the same subject, why, in all logic, should they be, tacitly forbidden the other by being prevented from effectively registering'their opinions? It _s remarkable that any won]en do take an interest in public affairs, since their,steps in that direction has "met witli opposition and ridicule. It would seem that society had selected all the admirable traits of human na- ture'and labelled them "manly," and, not knowing what to do with the rest called them "womanish." ,, The standing of* woman* has surely advanced, and civilization along with it, and'yet —if a man longs for fuller, freer life -and. gQ£s_to_5ce__Lt.Jie_J__.an_ad_e_r_ Woman's Sphere ,- ■*■ > The state'bears'the same relation to the family-thiht the family "does to the.individual.-;.The interests of one are inextricably bound up-in. the other and it" is Impossible to work, for the best, good bf one without^understand- ing'the conditions and needs'of the other. It is-generally conceded -that the -welfare0btvher .children,' mental, physical and moral, the'cleanliness of her house, and' neighborhood, the healthfiilness of the food,in hei- home and of the'social atmosphere of her vicinity, should >e . a woman's ffrst care... /.If these things are,.true, .woman has certainly been accorded her share of responsibility; in. the.welfare of society'! ''' But *w_ Md that in our present methods of community lifo, there is "an interdependence among the '.human family- which, can only' bo regulated by' municipal 'legislation. TVet, whilo wet'contlnue to look, as bur fa. thers and, their fathers,havo looked, to women for the smooth running'of domestic affairs, we'entirely disregard the radical'change in our" habits ,of life. Where formerly a,woman could sweep the waste into a nearby stream, now it must be attended to • a city refuse collector. Where she' could formerly be use that.her children had good milk by looking1 after the cow herself, now - she must rely upoii "the judgment of. food -inspectors.',' Her primitive field, of activity, has broadened, and changed in aspect, if not in nature, and her weapons for fighting disease and,'dirt must be modernized accordingly. , She must have,the municipal franchise. *, *,, Laws pf Suffrage States , We have 'only to' look at some of the recent.laws on the statute'books of the equal, suffrage states to find in what direction woman has turned her use of the ballot. In. Wyoming equal pay for women and' men teachers * when, equally qualified; .age* of protection of girls raised to eighteen; child neglect, abuse or cruelty made illegal; employment in mines forbidden, or. of .children under fourteen ,in public,exhibitions; selling.of cigarettes, "liquor or tobacco to persons under sixteen made unlawful; adulter-, ation of candy^forbidden; free kinder*--, gartens established. In Colorado:, care of the feebleminded provided.foi'; lessons on the'humane treatment'1 of animals required in the public schools; juvenile courts' established; education of children, between eight- and. sixteen made compulsory; mother* and'father made joint heirs of a. deceased "child; join, "signature'of wife and-husband "required for-every chattel br;hbmcstead mortgage.' These are only'a few of the>representative laws^ passed/and,enforced with equai ', suffrage_47*Many more of the same nature obtain in .the other two,"pioneer"■■•states; the'bills' relating to women arid children generally being presented by some womans organization.l Forbidding; expectora-, tion in -public places, placing, drinking fountains'in.the'streets, waste receptacles at the corners-.and sea'ts* at transfer stations and,in^retail"stores, are typical ordinances'under the.joint' regime of women\. and tfno.i'.J^. .rhe fears of Mr. Doo'iey. are-fully/realized:. .'•If Molly Donahue wint * to' voto*.i'i a livery stable, "the" firsCthing she''d - do would be' to get a broom, sweep up, thb floors,'take the'harness from th' walls and hang up a picture iv Nlagery be moonlight;, chase out the .watchers an' polls, remove the seegars,- make the judges get" a shave, an'p'raps in- valydate the .ilectloii. " It's no job fr her, an* I told her so.", .^ ,. Woman Suffrage a Benefit Tho Australian parliament has "recently passed- unanimous resolutions to the. effect. that , -woman suffrage has brought, unqualified benefit to the community.' The*''■women'*of* equal suffrage countries, testify to having gained-a broader and deeper outlook upon life, and a keener civic j conscience. * ' , There is a certain .kind" of ^expediency called'justice; but-it is not expedient, in any sense of the word," to exclude woman longer from participation in public' affairs. •-, .Whether she be in .business or a home-keeper,.the average woman has just as much time that can" be put at her country's'disposal as has a mau. and her record, wherever' she has been .enfranchised compares.. very favorably ,in intelligence and morality with that of tlie preceding' electorate. ' The interests .of'the home and the state "are identical. The home where the mother alone is consulted upon every problem, the government where' men make , all the laws, 'are both of them' imperfect:and one-. Ided affairs. Society has many problems, and day by day "they do, not grow more simple. Ji'ist. at" presont society is weakest where .women aro strong, biit Dr.L lb-, sen's V'Lona", was right—neither the efforts' of men alono nor of women alone will suffice to, solve ,the problems of a commonwealth. , ■ "The spirits of Truth and Freedom—these are the Pillars-of Society.",*.-.',, '*, " DR;.

They Want a Half-Million Dollars as a War Chest for Fjghting •' Socialism * r ' . ( . ■** ' The Anti-Socialist .Union of Great Britain is issuing an appeal for $500,- 000 as a war chest for. fighting So-' ciallsm. The appeal for $500,000 Is in the following terms:— ■ ' At this* moment of crisis iri our history when, through the Cabinet, So-" ciallst schemers are foisting on the nation a single Chamber .Government, the Anti-Socialist Union appeals to the loyalty .and patriotism of the British people. . The main bulwarks of freedom In the past have been the conimop sense, Self-reliance, discipline and probity of the people. To destroy th^Be, an Incessant and systematic cariip&Ign has been waged by the Soclajjst leaders. We would remind the, public of soma of the features of that campaign*.— ' 1. The Crown has been threatened arid the" Monarch Insulted. 2. The House of Lords has been misrepresented and ridiculed; judges,'for* the fearless performance of duty, have been attacked on the platform and in the press; efforts have been made to pack quarter and petty sessions with . Socialist J. P.'s. 7- 3. Boards of bureaucrats, from whom there is to be no' appeal, have in some cases, been substituted for the courts of justice * 4. Large numbers of civil servants have been converted to Socialism. There has been a steady increase in the number of public officials; .competitive examinations for many of tho now posts have been dispensed with, and the number of new off'icia's have been withheld. .., " , -*'•••. 5. There are at least 1.000 Socialists helping to administer the Local Government and the Poor Law. . Councils have taken to trading ln opposition to - private • enterprise; their accounts have often been Inefficiently audited; ln thirty years the local dt-bt lias risen from 193 millions to 58S millions. ,,'6. Socialists'are making strenuous efforts to capture the' support and sympathy of those, responsible for the education of the'country. Socialist . schoolmasters,, dous, * arid, professors are busy proselytising. >■ <. . '7. The funds and administration,of trade unions-have'-been captured by the Socialist conspirators, and men have been expelled from the unions for opposing thc Socialist policy. „ 8."Attempts have been made to stir-: up mutiny in our Army and Navy. '- - We have already successfully established twenty-five schools In different parts of tho country. At least one_ hundred schools are necessary iri or-" der to compete-effectively with the Socialists, who hold 2,000 meeting's per week. ". In this country there are seven,or- ganlzations, backed ,by -, a powerful Press,.constantly spreading Socialism. One of these organizations. alone expends over $600,000 a year on its activities. , , . We ask from the public a contribution of $500,000. ■• That is-not a'large premium for an Insurance agalnst^a revolution. . THE RARE.CARIBOU,'- Unique Specimen to be Placed In the Museum of British.

Ono feature of the evening's entertainment (?)' was a hurry-up call to a- fire alarm sent in from box 36 which created quite' a -consternation among a number present, as lt was at* first thought that it was the Hospital, but but later found that the number was from Kennedy & Mangan's vicinity and upon arrival it was discovered that it was a Dominion Day bonfire celebration on the part of the'Clty Council.'

Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905.
