Ey Raymond E. Dodge HE prophetic chapter, "The Coming Slavery" in Htrtert Spencer's work "The Man Versus the State" may, in the light of recent events, be paraphrased as follows: The numerous changes made to establish. federal, regu lation of busing enterprises, aad others about to be made, , will all merge by and by into state socialism-" "" -J But why may this changebe described as "The Coming Slavery?" The reply is simple. Nearly all important trasl nfs ntrmris&s are conducted through incorporated associ ations of Individuals, regulated under the laws of their locality. Millions of voters are employed by them. Stae socialism involves slavery. That which fundamentally. distinguishes a slave is that he labors tnder coercion to satisfy another's desires. Suppose that for-a master we substitute the president. Does it make any difference? It matters tot to the slave whether his master i3 a private individual or an elective ruler. . - To establish an army of classified federal officeholders with power to discipline capital and its labor, liable to "removal for the good of the ser vice and authorized by departmental construction of fedfal laws to bind or loose, isto give supreme powenoctefs pf bureaus appointed and removable at will by ;the president for refusal to obey his orders. This is centralization of power over every person so employed. , It would need but a war or some internal discontent such as a strike against wages fixe J by a federal bureau to transform at once the proposed "highly centralized plan of government to protect the interests of the peo ple into a grinding tyranny like that of an ancient Peru, under which the . people, controlled by graded officials, leading lives that were inspected out of doors and indoors, labored for the support of the power which regulated thm, and were left a bare subsistence for themselves. The belief not only cf the state socialists but of the "New Federalists, who are diligently preparing the way for them, 13 that by political cunning a scheme may be framed into a system to control all enterprises; with it the subsistence and votes of labor. It is a delusion. There is no political alchemy by which you can remain Iree In a republic controlled by one man power. J2? 4Z? i J Region of Dear Men Jind Men Jlre Increasing in Value. Ey Prof. E.

For why should the baby crop of Australasia have shrunk a third? Why should the proportion of children among Americans have fallen a quarter in 40 years? No symptom of pressure, this, but of release release of wom en from the home "sphere," of wives from the yoke of husbands, of married couples from the injunction to "Increase and multiply." The unlooked-for promptness with which the millions have developed a sense of responsibility in this matter of family bid3 U3 hope for a Golden Age when the specter of overpopulation will be Itid forever. Tell a Celestial gentleman of a myriad of Chinese wiped out by plague or flood and you get the bland comment? "Plenty Chinamen left!" Such con tempt i3 natural wherever overbreeding has cheapened humanity. In the teeming Orient common people seem a3 little considered as clay pigeons at the shooting traps. Being a grasshopper In the eyes cf others, the. individual ends by being a grasshopper in his own eyes. Hence, in the east, pessimistic religion, crouching obedience to rulers, wifely submission, subordination of fielf to family or community, frivolous suicide, meager philanthropy. The west, on the other hand, i3 already the region of dear men; with a slacken ing output of babies, human being3 will become 111 dearer. The Black Death, by sweeping away a third of the English people in the 14th century, so enhanced a man's worth that serfdom came to an end. On the same prin ciple, a lighter birth rate will give the common people not only more economic value, but also more social and political value.

ASHISH, that strange drug which has given our language its word "assassin" a man so frenzied by the drug that he ac complishes, murder is used' by the Persians, Turks and Egyptians in a manner akin to the use of opium by the Chinese. It la the product of a plant grown in large quan tities in the Peloponnesus (southern Greece) in the dis trict about Tripolitza. The plant grows to a height of about four feet and its branches are thickly covered with . ..smaii leaves and. studded with tiny seeds. The entire plant, stalk and branches, is cut within a few inches of the root and laid out in the sun to dry. The branches are then rubbed to separ ate the Beeds, and these in turn are ground into a fine powder, which constl tutes the drug. The drug has the power of inducing sleep and producing pleasi ant and fantastic dreams. Continued use of hashish renders its devotees wild and reckless and results in a complete wreck of theix mental and physical constitution. - For this reason the Egyption government has prohibited the Importation of the drug an-J recently entered into a convention with Greece to prevent ltt exportation-from there to Egypt, where the consumers of hashish are very numerous. The drug is practically never used in Greece, but is now exported to the various ports in England, Austria, France and Italy, and from there rnuch, no doubt, ultimately finds Us way to Egypt.

To the man' who shaves himself the stropping of the razor i3 the .most. difficult part. Very often he ruins the edge of the razor in his endeavors to strop it. Turning the blade at too great an angle de stroys the edge. " Thi3' Cannot happen with the stropping machine shown here, patented by an Ohio man. '.The operation of the contrivance i3 v?ry simple. The razor is placed in posi tion at the upper end of the strop, which, of course, i3 flexible, and the strop pulled back and forth.' The strop thus r-sses alternately over each side of the blade, catching it at si V 1W 'f ' Vj " ...iui i m rin r exactly the right angle.

Flashlight Alarm Clock. Applications for patents on electri cal novelties pour into the Patent Office at Washington faster than they can be taken care of, greatly sur passing in number any other -form of contrivances designed by ambitious inventors. One of the recent distinct novelties 13 the electric alarm clock shown here, designed by a Chicago man. It is placed on the bureau, where the dial can be readily seen by the occupant of the bed. If he awakes in the night and wishes to know the time, he merely pushes a push botton attached to a cord which extends from the clock to tho bed. The little incandescent lamp Just above the dial immediately lights up, so that the time can be instantly seen. It is not necessary to arise from bed to light the electric' light a touch of the button ehows tho time. The cord can be put underHhe pillow or In any convenient place. Tho alarm bell also rings at the hour set, as with the ordinary alarm clock. In addition, a bank is placed on one side of the clock; if anybody tampers with It the bell rings and continues ringing until shut off. Washington Star.
