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.

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." "
