Similarly, the Marxian theory of the irresistible concentr: of wealth in the hands of a constantly diminishing to the character Pointing inevitably condition number, attainment of a one by a small possessing class on the hand and an enormous propertyless class on the other, finds no support in the actudl conditions of life. The countries in which industrialism is least developed come much nearer to that state of af- fairs than any of the highly devel- oped industrial countries. Farthest from it are tho itions in which industrial- fsm has attained the highest develop- ment, our own country being the fore- most of these, We are farther removed from the condition forecast by Marx than any at any time in the history of the nation.

Mr. Cornelius F.

The Passing of the Rocky Mountain Club. (Engineering and Mining Journal.) A round-up of members and sguests ofi membe f the Rocky Mountain Club took place at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, New York, on April 11. The function, thanks to the organizing abil- ithusiasm of the secretary, Mr Herbert was most successful. Moreover, it was . being at one and the same time a twenty- first anniversary and a wake. Despite the high spirits in evidence at the | gathering, it was impossible to “down” a sense of disappointment. The passing of the club, but by a distinguished mining engineer in Los An- geles a few years ago peaking to a large gathering, he said: wish 1 knew you all and intin personally, ¥ Mountain The Rocky Club was no grouping of mediocrities. Its P dent, Mr. John Hays Hammond, is a link with one of the greatest mining developments in the history of the world. His association with Cecil John RRodes calls to mind the fact that he was one of the leaders of ‘the reform movement in the Transvaal, 1895- 96, and that after thé Jameson raid he was sén- tenced to death. It is inspiriting to come into personal contact with, and keep fresh the achievements of, those adventurous spirits who, in this country, have had so much to do with the development of Western mining, and, in consequence, national progress. With a touch of sadness, one must ccept the fact that the last gathering of the members of the Rocky Mountain Club has been held The Last Commander.

In few wars are lieutenants raised to commanding rank, especially in wars of only four years’ duration. Any young man so distinguished in the Confederate service was, we may be sure, a man indeed. General Robertson was less than 90 when he died—he was born in 1829-—and he was a youth of 20 when he left the senior class at West Point and entered service under the Stars and Bars. By dint of great military ability and courage, he was promoted successively by the most severe of York v diminishing few, old men ited States who may gaze Times.) of Lee disciplinarians Albert Sidney Johnston, “the cavalier of the South”; Beauregard, Bragg and Hood. His service ended under “Little Joe” Wheeler of Alabama, that dashing commander who lived to serve under the old flag again in the Spanish-American War. For years General Robertson had lived in retirement so peaceful that the “Who's Who" of 1912-1913 was the last volume in the series to print the sketch of his romantic life, later volumes in a brief line referring back to the older one as if the septuagenarian were dead already But the old fellows, walking—and more recently riding—in the ranks at Confeder- ate reunions were familiar with his fine figure and cameo face. When they saluted him they put the snap of the sixties in it, and they pierced his eardrum with the rebel yell. Of all the brilliant company of Lee's generals, he became “the last leaf upon the tree,” sere, but wise and strong and clinging to “the old familiar bough” of his farmhouse in Texas, If the current super-realistic mood of American fictin shall pass—which Heaven fend! ome new Kipling may e to write with fire and hero- worship the sto: of “Lee's Last Brigadier.” embarrassing situation The which the Demo- crats face in this grave crisis is this, that, if they nominate a wet, the Anti-Saloon League will support the Republican ticket and, if they nominate a dry, it will anyway.—(Ohio State Journal.)
