e 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
entitled "ANTICIPATING 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 Steamship
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.
Takahashi; a special article, "THE AUTHOR OF THE MESSIAH," by B. O.
Flower; an article entitled "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, participating in which they will be wiser
and stronger for the battle that is toward in these lands.
