THE FAILURES OF SOCIALISM. flbruneflbtcMn' si sen stw Socialists often say that if they could get possession of the entire machinery of government, they coulil make their plan work much better than it would work in an isolated colony or in sonic small industry. Similarly a man might say, that if anyone would give him a manufacturing plant worth $1,000,(XX), he could make a business success. lie niicrht run it a time on its old momentum. Hut if he lacked business ability, it would run down in time. If his ideas of business were correct, he could build up an industry from its foundation. The community's industrial equipment has been built up on the plan of individual initiative, which so cialists call capitalism. Naturally the socialists could make an improved showing, if they could take and operate a great productive plant built up on some theory other than their own, than if they were forced to test out the merits of their own theory by creating such a plant on the basis of their own ideas. All great changes began on a small scale. When people first invented railroads, they did not build a track way across a continent the first thing. They built short lines, and proved the correctness of their theory on a small scale. Then people would trust them with capital to build longer lines. If the socialistic theory were correct, its truth would have been proved long ago, by com munities and industries operated prosperously on that basis. If socialists want to prove their ideas, they should start communities or industries on socialistic lines, and demonstrate that they will provide more comfort, and more efficient and fairer production, than individualistic under takings. Their failure to make such a showing convinces the people that their project is a false mirage, and that so cialists belong to that class of minds whose practical use- tulness is spoiled by cherishing false illusions. O. The instinct of humor has manifested itself for count less generations in the custom known as April Fool jokes: Nowadays this Harmless habit is largely confined to child ren, but in ages and localities where adults were less so phisticated, everybody used to indulge in it. Innumerable generations of unwary folks have been taken off their sruard on this day of deceptions, and have scanned the heavens for strange birds, have tried to pick up purses attached to strings, have bitten into wool doughnuts. Innumerable young innocents have chased around the neighborhood for left-handed screwdrivers, strap oil, etc. All these jokes may he considered a foolish habit bv severe minds. Vet they have led slow witted young people to wake up, and not be bamboozled too easily, hence have perhaps helped some 10 acquire caution in a world ot many takes and shams, The folks who think the young people are going to the (logs, should read a recent article in Ihc Outlook, telim ot a questionnaire circulated among 1000 pupils of liinjr hampton, New York, high school, in regard to the ideals and purposes of these young people. The favorite charac ters of these young folks were not movie stars and baseball players, as some might imagine. They were Lincoln Koosevelt, and Horence Nightingale. The pcrsoiru! acnievements that most ot them valued highest, were help ing others, thrift, school success, music and writing. When asked to say how they would spend $5000 if jfiven them, 428 said they would invest it, l.XJ would use it for college education, and 58 would take it to help their families. Young people who iherish such ambitions are no menace, but under good leadership are capable of great things. o- .

Roseburg cltln;:4 had their first opportunity last iilKhi to Indulge in a gathering under the auspices of the Ku Klux Klan, tho much-talked of secret organlzatlou which has re ceived considerable newspaper notor iety during the past few months. Evidence of the "pulling qualities" of the Klan was the size of the audi ence that greeted the main speaker of the evening. lr. R. H. Sawyer. Not a single vacant seat remained In tho theater and people were turned away long before the program opened. When the curtain was lifted lor the evening's lecture sixteen KlnnB men were on the platform, In their official regalia, and those persons lrn the audience whose timidity had been wrought to a high degree of excitement by reading tho sensation al reports pertaining to the "inner workings" of this order probably had a "thrill" and felt a little uneasy for a few moments, fearing the "night riders" might stage something out of the ordinary. This expectation was allayed when the speaker, in a clear aud even tone of voice, be gan ins lecture alia soon liad ihc targe audience imciisuly Interested in what be had to say in rc-tt-rence 10 the principles and objects ol the Ail Klux Alan. Many persons in the audience had never beiore hud an opportunity to acquaint thwtnselves wan the Intent ot tne organization. They had read and heard all kinds of reports and were anxious to lislen to some first-hand information from a person openly Identified with the j order. Klansmcn, in their long, while' robes, with piercing eyes peering through conspicuous lookouts In their hoods, acted as ushers during, the evening. The audience was aleri to attempt to detect some local cole- . briiy who had allied himself with the organization, hut this seemed al- j most a useless task so cleverly dis guised was each Individual. ' The "performance," If such lti might be termed, was a revV-latlon to) the "natives" of this city. A weird, and to some a rather uncanny at-i mo3phere was prevalent, but the j audience "stood pat" and judging from the generous encores given the speaker, his remarks were well re-! eeived. j At the conclusion of the lecture; the film, "The Kace at Your Win dow," was shown and seemed to take exceedingly well with the audience. The lecture will be repeated again this evening at the Antlers theater to accommodato those who were un-, able to gain admittance last night. Mr. Sawyer, In Bpeaking last even-j Ing, summed up the principles of the , Ku Klux Klan lu the following Ian- gunge: ' ! "Tho Ku Klux Klan is not a lawless' organization, but Instead is an or-j ganlzatlon Inn n. 1.1 upon principles ! voiced by the Matchless Christ and embraces the teachings which It-ad to better government and better homes. Its membership embraces , the highest professional, business' and laboring men, men who owv al-; leglance to no government except that of the United States. "The following paragraphs from1 our published principles Is enough to allay the fears of uny thoughtful' American as to tho purposes of the Knights of tiro Ku Klux Klan and the sterling character of the men en trusted with their f ulllllinent; "'The obj.cis of this order shall, be a common brotherhood of strict regulations for tho purpose of cul tivating and piomoting real patriot ism toward our civil government; fo practice an honorable clauishuess toward each other; to exempllty a practical benevolence; to shield tho sanctity of the home and the chas tity of womanhood; to maintain white supremacy; to leach and faith fully Inculcate a high spiritual phil osophy Ihr.iuch an exalted ritualism, and by a pnu-iical devotwlnoss to conserve, prni-.t and maintain the leu distinctive Institutions. rUihts, prni deep sincerity bis work. "Surely no loyal American can misunderstand or fall to endorse such principles: I No man Is wanted in inn oroer. who will not or cannot swear an un- qualified allegiance to the govern-: ment of the United States or Anier-: ica. Its flag and Its constitution. " 'No man Is wanted In this order! who does not esteem the government j of the United tSates above any other! government, civil, political or ec clesiastical, In the whole world. " 'Only native-born American citi zens who believe In the tenets of the Christian religion and owe no al legiance of any degree or nature to any foreign government, "nation, po litical Instltntion. sect, people or per son are eligible.' " The Grand Lecturer said that many prominent pastors of chorches In Orecon and In other states were identified with tho Invisible Kmplre. Ho smiled as he referred to the opin ion held by many good people that the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan were a wild, lawless band who set at naught the laws of God and limn. Hear this matemtent of our Im perial Wizard." snld Dr. Sawyer, "and Judge for yourself as to the ministers of the gospel uniting with us in our great work: " 'The entire teaching of the order Is that our present civilization rests upon the teachings of Jesus Christ. At every lodge meeting Jesus Christ Is lauded nnd his teachings expound ed and the constitutions and regula tions of the Order set forth that the living Christ la the Klanman's cri terion of character."
