The Arena Part 13

Their call comes across the green waves as I write. I turn my eyes away from Tolstoi Head and put aside my pen. It is growing very chill. The mist is rising from the Salt Lagoon, and there is no brightness on the Zoltoi sands.

THE ARENA FOR SEPTEMBER.

THE ARENA for September will carry to our patrons more than the usual number of superior contributions. Several of these are timely to a degree. It is intended that the great questions of the epoch--the real questions in which the people feel an instinctive concern--shall be discussed in THE ARENA with the sole purpose of elucidating them in the best possible manner, thus conducing to the betterment of the serious conditions now present in American society.

One such article of the first importance will appear in the number for September. This is a contribution on the "CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH," by Herman E. Taubeneck, well known as an expert in the political and economic questions of the times. The present article is the first of two on the same subject. Mr. Taubeneck patiently undertakes the theme on the foundation of fact, and reaches his conclusions by an able and irrefutable inductive argument.

A second article of like interest is that on "MULTIPLE MONEY," by Eltweed Pomeroy, President of The Direct Legislation League of the United States. Mr. Pomeroy is known to THE ARENA readers as a strong and thoroughgoing publicist whose writings are as instructive in subject-matter as they are lucid in style.

A third contribution in THE ARENA for September will be an article ent.i.tled "ANTIc.i.p.aTING THE UNEARNED INCREMENT," by Hon. I. W. Hart, Official Reporter of the Third Judicial District of Idaho. Mr. Hart's contribution is a powerful expose of the evils of land speculation in cities and towns, and the consequent extravagant prices of realty and of high rents.

Our special contributor, sent by the courtesy of the Yarmouth Steams.h.i.+p Co. and the Dominion Atlantic and Intercolonial Railways to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to investigate the Social and Industrial Conditions prevailing in those regions, is engaged in completing his article, and the same will appear in THE ARENA for September.

Besides the abovenamed contributions, THE ARENA for September will contain "STUDIES IN ULTIMATE SOCIETY," by Lawrence Gronlund and K. T.

Takahas.h.i.+; a special article, "THE AUTHOR OF THE MESSIAH," by B. O.

Flower; an article ent.i.tled "SUICIDE: IS IT WORTH WHILE?" by Charles B.

Newcomb; "THE FIRST DEADLY SIN," by Marvin Dana; "MUSEUMS OF REPRODUCED ART," by Arthur Altschul; "THE CIVIC OUTLOOK," by Dr. Henry Randall Waite; Plaza of the Poets; Editor's Evening; Book Reviews, etc. Our readers will find THE ARENA for September, with its 144 well-filled pages, a feast of good things, partic.i.p.ating in which they will be wiser and stronger for the battle that is toward in these lands.
