the democratic system should wel
come French "rule with open arms
and rejoice at getting rid of mon
archy with its privilege, arrogance
and enormous cost for compensa
tion. It is clear that in this country the
different sections might now be at
fierce war with each other except for
the sanity of our democratic system
of organization which reduces going
to war over boundary lines to an ab
surdity, and the same course of rea
soning shows conclusively that there
can be no permanent cure for the
present war except by the organiza
tion of "The United States of Eu
rope." Parker H. Sercombe.
A STEDMAN BOOSTER. The
words, "Union Men, Attention," and
the question of Mr. Lipsitz, "Why not
have the presidents of the unions call
a convention to select the best union
man for mayor," made me sit up and
take notice this evening.
My answer is because it would not
be possible to select a better union
man for mayor than the Socialists
have already selected Seymour
Stedman.
I have known him for twenty
years. He is honest, brave, and a
worker.
I do not see why any union man
shouldn't vote for him. He is for the
working people first, last and all the
time. He knows their needs better
than the other candidates and will do
more for the working men and wom
en than all the other candidates to
gether. The Socialists and union men can
elect Stedman if they want to.

TIRED. When I called the atten
tion of "Aristocrat" to the request
that I deal with the Cuthbert com
plaint he said he had forgotten about
it, and was too tired to look it up.
"You do it, old boy," said he. "You
may as well begin to qualify." I late
ly 'irihewited a railroad, you kneow,
and am twying to be as neafl&e
Aristocrat as I can by watchingMilm.
I have the leisure and the income,
neow, bah Jove, and am working on .
the polish.
Oh, I see neow, it was about crowds
ing street cars. Well, if there &
money in the straps, there is more iri
the standers.who cannot reach tb
straps, which they do not need, to?
they hold each other up. Really, this
is the latest in co-operation, anq
ought to suit socialists. Think hoWj
the passengers would bump eachotfft
er, only they are in so tight. Aw
weally could not think of calling
around every evening for the lad
think of the scandal; and such chaV
ity always pauperizes the recipient,
as I heard a man say. Beats all hoy
easy it is to take a big income aftes
working for a small one so long. ,lt
It seems they just make us arjstop

how can we help it? Cwowding Ana
cars is only one way. Rents frohji
segregated district was anothepf
and while that seems to be checked
it is easy enough to catch the cdiijj

blame us upper class too much. Tly
only way we could restore our plun

DAY BOOK CONTRIBUTORS
am simply amazed by the extraor,di,
nary letters you get from men, ariijC
maybe women, who are not schoofejqL
but are "educated." You have operigp
a mine of golden words of mdn wna
can't say "In the last analysis," out
who can give you the last analysij?
with a punch that annihilates JJfft,
common garden variety of stupidity
For instance, just at hand, W. Jojj-.
