I COSMOPOLITAN EGYPT
Among ail of the nations engaged
in the great conflict tliere is prob
ably none whose population is more
diverse or whose problems are more
ntrieately woven Into political, ra
cial and religious questions than
Egypt, says the Christian Scieuee
Monitor. With reference to these
i osmopolitaa and _ partisan diversi
ties Mr. Gladstone once said: "The
difficulties of the case have passed
mtirely beyond the limits of such
political difficulties as 1 have known
iu the experience of half a century."
In considering, therefore, the
Egyptian question" in its present
tearing oa world conditions, the cos
luopolitaa element of the country
must be taken seriously into ac
count. We are here involved at
once in almost every conceivable
; roblem connected with national
and international commercial poli
cies, including self government,
mixed tribunals, racial feeling, re
Unions prejudices, colonization of
oriental peoples, iu.tu.naItem, educa
tion, and a wide circle of interna
tional controversies ranging all the
way from the Suez canal to the
Turkish Pasha. Here England has
confronted, and even now confronts,
tnskx as intricate as any it has
ver faced in dealing with the ryots
of Beugal or the Afghan tribes of
uortL India, for here it is dealing
•.v;th a cosmopolitan land. Not ev
■ u Singapore can sho\ such a meet
! .g i/lace of nations and races, di
verse and exacting ot their rights.
It is aast and west coming daily
!-'ce to face Added to this mix
>ure of races, which also involves
naturally a mixture of languages,
with French. Arabic and English,
wpsfially predominant, is the prob
!tm of mixed beliefs which has con
stituted always one oC the most com
plex factors in eastern states. In
fact unity among orientals seems to
be more frequently religious than
national. Religious differences are
usually found to be the most for
midable obstacle to political or na
tional fusion, and these differences
have perhaps never been moro truly
I accentuated than in Egypt.
It is with such chaotic racial, In
| ternational and ecclesiatical ma
j terial that the Egynt of today, un
| der the leadership for the last three
! years of the British agent, Lord
j Kitchener, is attempting to evolve
; order, and, just now, is presenting
ja remarkably united rrout against
; the nation that until recently has
I held over it a political and relig
ious suzerainty. In spite of the
tict that Egypt, in common with
India and the Philippines, and, in
deed, every eastern land governed
by western nations, manifests more
cr less disaffection, against which
i careful guard must be kept by the
J ruleis in times of vea.ce, there is
{in evidence throughout this old
j land of the Nile a remarkable con
| dition of united sentiment and pa
I trlotism; a loyalty to the nation
I whose occupation has meant in re
■ cent years so much for its modern
development. One can hardly pre
dict things that may come to pass a
; the result of the present conflict,
but the fact that the remarkbly di
verse populations of such eastern
I countries as Egypt ana India have,
for the moment at least, forgotten
their Internal strivings with one
another in a common loyalty such
as perhaps no former centuries have
j witnessed, may be pondered as one
of the most significant incidents in
the great European conflict.
Universal Peace Will Come \&hen Social
ism Is In Supreme Control
Bv MORRIS HK-LQU1T. Secretary of the Internalional Socialist Bureau
THE historv <>r the future will <!oubtless set this war as the end oJ
one »rrat era in tlie Socialist movement and the beginning of an
other. The present war ami its farreaching social and economic
consequences, a re bound to modify our conception of a steady and even
course of social development. IT IS BOUND TO ACCELERATE
THE TRENT) OF THE MODERN" WORLD TOWARD SOCIAL
ISM AND MAY BRING US NRARER TO THE GOAL BY A
Sl'DDEN LEAP.
The war could have been averted, poverty could have been an
nihilated. and the world could have entered into an era of universal
P«>ace and good will if enough people had become Socialists.
We can say, then, that the war is bringing socialism closer, although
no Socialist wanted it to come that way. We were once accused of be
ing '"bloody revolutionists." Opponents said that the adoption of out
plans would plunge the world in blood.
NOW, IT MUST BE APPARENT TO ALL THAT THE WORLD HAS TA
KEN THE PLUNGE BECAUSE OF ITS REFUSAL TO ADOPT THE ONLV
PLAN THAT tOULO HAVE PREVENTED THE CATASTROPHE. CAPI
TALISM IS EXPIRING IN BLOOD. SOCIALISM ALONE PROMISES

Right of Free Speech and Publication Not
a Guarantee of License
By Profe*or FRANCIS M. BURDICK. Columbia University
N HITHER the first constitution of New York nor tluit of the United
States contained any guarantee of 'liberty of speech or of tlu
jiressv Such guarantee was added by--the- tirst amendment of the
federal constitution and is found in the fundamental law of the several
states. The New'York constitution of IS'21- contained the ■following
provision: "Every citizen may freely sp<*ak, write and publish.his senti
ments on all subjects, being responsible for the -abuse of that right.
AND NO LAW SHALL BK PASSED TO RESTRAIN OF.
ABRIDGE THE LIBERTY OF SPEECH OR OF THE PRESS."
This is not a guarantee of wild license in speech and publication, but
of an ordered ana legalized liberty. It does not secure each citizen the
right to speak or to print whatever, whtuever and wherever he pleases.
If he mounts the head of a barrel in h citv street and draws a crowd
which blocks the thoroughfare his liberty of speech is not invaded by
an arrest for disorderly conduct He is only being brought to account
for his abuse of a constitutional right. Indeed, there is substantial
agreement that this constitutional provision has for its primary purpose
the exemption of the citizen from submit!ing his speech or writing to
censorship.
HE SHALL NOT BE FORCED TO SECURE A GOVERNMENTAL LI
CEN«E FOR-THE EXPRESSION OF HIS SENTIMENTS.
DON'T WAIT
Delay is Often Dangerous
When the back begins tc ache.
Don't wait until backache be
comes chronic;
Till kidney troubles develop;
'Till urinary troubles destroy
night's rest.
Profit by this person's experience.
Mrs. Alouzo Stevens, S220 Broad
way, Everett, Wash., says: "I had
a terrible, heavy pain across the
small of my back and I was uuable
to rest nights on account of the pain
through my loins. Oftej:, when 1
straightened after stooging, sharp
p.,. i s darted through me. I was
extremely nervous and was bothered
by irregular action of my kidneys. I
doctored, but got no permanent re
lief, and finally I decided to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. After I had
used several boxes, these ailments
left me and now 1 am in good
health."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Stevens had. Foster-Mil
