INTEREST ADDED FOUR TIMES A YEAR Rev. Eliot White, former rector of St.- John’s Episcopal church of Worcester,‘ Mass, some time ago resigned from the ministry and avowed himself a Socialist, joining the local in that city. As a min- ister he was of the highest standing, and as a citizen he was universally respectn‘ ed. Besides being a man of unquestion-r ed character and of the purest morals, Mr. White is a'inaii of exceptional men-v tal capacity. He is a student, a thinker - and a philosopher; and some of his ad-' dresses, which we have been privileged to‘see, are models of clear thinking and.- R. M .

' ARCH INSTEP WITH STEEL SHANK Besides representing the highest type of Ladies’ fashionable footwear, the Empress Shoe has the reputation of being the most comfortable and best wearing shoe for women. We sell other shoes for women, but none better value than the Empress. ' “ Naturally, you want the best.” We have the exClusive sale of the petty ways, and many doors that were formerly opened at his touch have been- OOODOOOOOOOOOOoolN closed against him. All of this Mr. ' White, now our comrade, fully expected, and he has borne it with the quiet dig-‘ we ’re on the way. nity of one who understands. On the evening of March 17th, Alex-' ander Berkinan, the anarchist, was billed to speak at Worcester. There was conâ€" siderable excitement in police circlesp and it was concluded that he should not' be allowed to speak. With this, Mr. White, of course, had nothing to do ; lint on the evening in question he was stand-~ ing on a street corner conversing with a- lawyer, when he was ordered to move‘ on. He quietly objected, and was iniâ€"- medially arrested and taken to jail. Fitn- ty persons volunteered bail for him ; but; it was refused. He said that he was no better than the poor fellows who were in jail and had no friends to give bails ' and that what was good enough for them was good enough for him. This shows the spirit of the man. The chief of police began to berate him, but the prisoner calmly defended his position. His temper was unruflled, his dignity undisturbed. This quiet,- gentle, serene. and high-minded man,- who had given up a pulpit and what might have been a life of ease to follow the example of the Master and preach , to the lowly and suffering, has been seized and locked up in jail like a; common felon because he is a Socialist, and for no other reason. Had he been a banker, or a ward-heeling politician, or' a bloated dive-keeper, standing on the: sidewalk in conversation with another" of the same stripe, and a policeman had ordered him to move on, the policeman would have been promptly fired from. the force. But there is good in all these incidents. Each of them has its lesson, and each of them makes for Socialism. Our enemies are, after all, our best prop-' agandists.â€"Ibid. A bill was. recently introduced in the English house of commons which provid- ed that the state must supply work, at the standard rate of wages, to all work- ingmen who register themselves as un- employed; or, in lieu of work, the state must maintain the applicants and all de- pendent upon them. But, more remarkable than the proâ€" visions of the bill, is the fact that 116 votes were cast in its favor. Over a hundred members of the English house of commons supported a measure that is more revolutionary than would be a res- olution toabolish the house of lords or to depose the king. Were this measure adopted it would end the rule of capital, which is the power behind the lords as well as be- hind the throne. As Prof. Charles Booth has written : “ Our modern system of in- dustry will not work without some unen - ployed margin, some reserve of labor.” To employ the unemployed is to remove this unemployed margin, to transform this unhappy reserve of idle labor into something less than a hungry mob com- peting with those at work for the priviâ€" lege of holding jobs not numerous enough to go around. It would mean the end of competition in the labor market, and enable those unemployed to successfully demand one concessionafter another from their mas- ters until, shorn of economic power by taxation to feed the hungry, and by the aggression of the comparatively inde- pendent workers, the kings ot industry would abdicate to escape the tide of the industrial revolution. .
