TIIERE is need of revlslnr the aid say. I ing ihat half the world was wretched because the other half did not know how It lived. Now hair the- world does not know how, or what, the other half thinks. That ia one cause of the misunderstanding ef classes, and the play at cross purposes which balks legislators and reformers alike. Yet there; is no excuse for not knowing what any class thinks, for even the least literate i has spokesmen" with a capacity for thinking and expression I of considerable force and capacity.

Georges Borel la one ot them, i His writings are literature, however reprehensible his ideas may be considered by some. He is the prophet of those who con-sider aocialism slow and reactionary. It Is his disciples who disturb church services and secure free meals at restaurants by telling: those who supply them to charge them to society or to Rockefeller or some other too rich persona. The Idea that either prophet or disciples are in the least ashamed of themselves la a mistake. To understand them i It is necessary to know what they think, for they do think.

This Is not an at-; tempt to show their errors, but to describe the sentiment of their schools, aa taught by one of them. Sorej; la among the most learned of the yrtdtoallsts. II belongs to Iba privileged and prosperous class of Society which he attacks). After a successful career as an engineer; he began his literary labors with a commentary upon the designed to ahow that Christianity set up an ideal of power and character superior to modern proflt-and-losa morals, and counsels of expediency. Just as thej BIbl admits of no compromises In conduct so Sort-1 would have no compromise social reforms, reforms, that la, from his i point of view.

Ilia idea is that men ahoutd hate oppression and oppressors, and should do away with them, ratherj than drift along as part of an economic machine which ia Immoral, or at least unmoral, in Its workings. Sorel'4'jldea Is that a newj morality should grow put of the class atruggle. Classes each have morals of their; own.) Thus the cap 1 talis class has a morality which Justifies ithe exploitation of the proletariat, and the 'proletariat has a morality for destroying the capitalist class. Existing society maintains by force. Sorel represents the school which would reform society by violence.

He does ndt believe in? reform by degrees. Re thinks ithe only hope of betterment of the 'multitudes Is in a catastrophe, a revolution, and the only question la how to key them jup to It He finds the motive of his sort of reform In what he calls a myth, that is. the possession by the multitude of an Idea, or' possession of the multitude by an Idea, that jthey are part of a movement which they wish so strongly that, they are willing to sacrifice themselves to establish R. Just as soldiers sacrifice themwlve for a Victory into which their personality may merge i and submerge Itself, so syndicalist are always to Instant and cunsteat to the class war. peac and prosperity are hateful to them beeauee they bring rootrtitmmt.

and contentment Is tha forUflcaUea erf th existing order. lSMtifertloa and class antagonisms are the nourishment of reform la the Beret manner. Socialism was wrrrk'4 on political compromise. On that ground Sorel abandoned It and crltlclaed Its foundation on the postulate that things would constantly grow worse until th cataalroph ahicb. he himself desire.

Marx'a predictions have been faUifled. Every claae la better off than before be forwiuJatrd hi forecast of th ruin of capitalism by th unbearable misery af the worker. BrndtraMsni la th substitute for socialism. It alma ta pradae what socialism falsely predicted. Ctaa war Is th weapon ef syndicalist morality, Che means toward the end of th dostntcUoa of the existing order, 1th th iaUnlioa to substitute Its own.

Sorel has no fancy for being wrecked on his predictions, like Marx. Hi Vlea of a myth Is something which ta aplrUua! In Its main fore, and therefor la not ubjet ta calculation or prophecy. Th reform ef society by syndicalism wftl be Ilk the second coming of Christ, at a tint of which no maa know. It wm not be a growth. It will be a creation.

In his own words, The general strike must be taken a a whol and undivided, and th passage from capitalism to oclallaru conceived a a catastrophe, th development of which fries description." For this socialism ia th preparation, a rev. olutionary apprenticeship. That Is why 8-rlal'-sts arc not discouraged by their defeats. It merely proves that the apprenticeship Is Incomplete, and the work preparation must be renewed. A social policy founded on mldjle-clajis cowardice, which alwars aur-renders before threats of violence, supports the Idea that the tnldJle class Is condemned to death, and that Its disappearance la only a matter of time.

Thus every conflict which Klves rise to violence become a vanguard fight Although th great battle never cornea to a head, yet each time they com to blows th strikers hop that It I th beginning at a Napoleonic battle which will deCaluty crush the vanquished. Theorist of social peac shut their eye to these embarrassing facta. Erery llvta thing resists and a hat doea not resist cut to pieces. The softness or th mlddl "class Is an admission of decadence and bespeaks shame of cowardice. Th Governments also are ashamed to admit that social politic are carried out under threat of disturbance.

Arbitrations are reortd to, as though there could arbltatlona of duties. Upon prices there ran be compromises or difference without Quarrels. But upon whether the employing etas has don It duty to wage earners, or whether wag earner hare don their duty for their wage a. there can no compromise. Th apodal strike la the remedy, and th speelal strike leads th general strike, which aboero th entire Socialist movement Special strikes are rehearsals for th gen- SOME IMAGIST POETS The Great French Critic Remyde Gourmont I.

One sees that at once in their horror of the elieki, the horror of rhetoric and of the grandiose, of the oratorical Ctrl, They desire precision of language, clearness of vision, concentration of thought, and they like to combine these in a dominant image, "In poetry even more than in any other art, constant renewal is' necessary, and when we see a school endeavoring to do this, above all by invoking eternal, although disregarded, principles, we can only augur well for its future." i I i 75 ctnU net A'rj Series VTritt fot cwvaJar dcriia tkl m4 etkrr eelamas At an HOUGHTON MIFFLIN CO. is staath at, Mew lark era! strike. a-s ta ror.wta ro soar ay of rv4 -ta-f I Wa ar.it aa apt slat ta La I of a The prebia vtoseexw ha to hiu nincaar; eirrewt roa taat attnoei: to It by th eoevrfVial a4 by sutvaoa. it I to ioler that ewrUUsaa owe th thins vtJue by of Mi bvloe aarraUoa to th work.
