Socialist Column

(Paid Ailvt.)
I hoard n follow smy: "I can't
stand the uvurlnMing tulle of lltHt
MuIiilUt. He Ik a pretty uood
fellow, too, and there in a
whole lot of truth in the
socialist doctrine. I believe in the
government ownership, and in the
initiative anil leferemlttm, but he
makes me tired; he can't think ol
anything else."
It Is safe to say lhat this speaker,
while he has seen the advantage of
n city owning its own water plant, cy points to its nearness, yet
for instance, and realize that other
governments which eliminate phys
ical competition between man and,
man constitutes the whole difference
between savagery and present day
civilization. Kxactly the same
kind of organization and establish
incut of a joint interest in protec
tion against hunger and cold would
coimtitutc the whole difference be
tvveeu present day conditions and
the promised millenittni.
The members of the churches
things might be publicly owned with
the same advantages, has not roan
ouud out the whole remtlt of such
democracy in industry if applied to
many or all industrie. Hotter ser
vice for a less cost is by no means
the great advantnge. The great
nd vantage would' be in the unifica
tion of conflicting interests. The
elimination of private gain in bind
nes.s which is the motive which
prompts nine-tenths ot all corrup
tion and oppression and a large per
centage of all crime. Ah! you say:
"Hut private gain is the motive
which prompts all progress." No
doubt. Hut I have not said that
private gain would or should be
eliminated, but only private
gain in business, private gain fiom
exploiting the labor of others,
and this would leave each person
all the gain from his own work,
Therefore the incentive for private
gain ftom all forms of ttsefttl elTort
would be immeasurably increased,
and this is the only incentive for
gain worthy to be considered.
Making industry a public matter
would not change our natures, but
it would at one stroke make our in
terests in all business identical. One
could not injure another without in
juring himself. It would at once
give him an equal interest as pro
ducer and consumer, and make
nun also both employer and em
ploye. And what troubles and
dissensions of today ate not due to
those conflicting interests?
Now surely we should be able to
pray: "Thy kingdom come, Thy
will be done in earth as it is in
heaven." The good book describes
that time of "peace on earth, good
will among men," and every proph
tt is
left to the despised socialist alone
to show that "abiding faith" that
the time is "uigh.even at the door."
To every one else it is "too vision
ary." The churchman thinks that the
civilization that we have accent
plished up to date and our hope for
the future depends upon a regener
ation of the individual, I would
not belittle any effort toward iudi
vidttal regeneration, but as to help
ing present day conditions it is all
in vain unless it goes hand in hand
with intelligent regeneration of
society as a whole, with that organ
Uatiou which gives the opportuul
ty for the development of the spirit
of brotherhood and all the nobler
virtues. The most honest regener
ated individual cannot carry out
his principles alone, If placed
among savages he would surely
tight in defense of himself and
loved ones, and his posterity would
eventually degenerate to the condi
lion of those around them And
he might preach regeneration to
those savages till the crack of doom
and all in vain unless he could at
the same time teach them the ad
vantages of co-operation, A ud the
preaching of individual regeneration
of today is alone just as futile as to
any possibility of lilting us out
of the mad industrial strug
gle. It stops no exploitation
of labor, no oppression of the poor,
no grasping for profits and usury.
Our greatest industrial tyrants are
so-called industrial Christians,
I do not mention this especially
mrclnii something to that snirit of , to condemn the individuals, but to
enthusiasm which sees in this one, show te impassibility for Individ
principle of the joint management of , ds rise above the conditions of
industries for use. not profit, not society at large,
only the abolishment of poverty (Continued next week,)
but the abolishment of the inotiw, -
the greatest motive of "Man'siuhu-, DCQOI 1 1TION
manity to man" which "makes UOUUD I IVH
countless thousands mourn."
