her in Statuary Hall at the United States capitol
in Washington, D. C. Miss Willard's statue is
the only statue of a woman found in that famous
hall. This is what francis E. Willard thought
about socialism. It is from her address at the
National Convention of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union at Buffalo, in 1897:
i.OOK about you; the products of
labor are on every hand; you could not
maintain for a moment a well-ordered
life without them; every object in your
room has in it. for discerning eyes, the
marljgof ingenious tools and the pres
sure of labor’s hands.
But is it not
the crudest injustice for the wealthy,
whose lives are surrounded and embel
lished by labor’s work, to have a super
abundance of the money which repre
sents the aggregate o f labor in any co
untry, while the laborer himself is kept
so steady at work that he has no time
to acquire the education and refine
ments of life that would make him and
his fam!ly agreeable companions to the
rich and cultured?
The reason why I am a Socialist
comes in right here.
I would take, not by force, but by
the slow process of lawful acquisition
through better legislation, as the out
come of a wiser ballot in the hands of
men and women, the entire plant that
we call civilization, all that has been
achieved on this continent in fourhun-
dred years since Columbus wended his
way hither, and make it the common
property of all the people, requiring all
to work enough with their hands to
give them the finest physical develop
ment, but not to become burdensome in
any case, and permitting all to share
alike the advantages of education and
refinement, i believe this to be per
fectly practical, indeed, that any otner
method is simply a relic of barbarism.
1 believe that competition is doomed.
The trust, whose single object is to
abolish competition, has proved that
we Bre better without than with it, ami
the moment corporations control the
supply of any product, they combine.
What the Socialist desires is that the
corporation of humanity should control
all production.
Beloved comrades,
this is the frictionless way; it is the
higher way; it eliminates the motives
for u selfish life; it enacts into our
every-day living the ethics of Christ’s
gospel. Nothing else w ill do it; nothing
else can bring the glad day of universal
brotherhood.
l>h, that I were young again, ami it
would have my life! it is God's way
out o f the wilderness and into the
promised land. It is the very marrow
of Christ's gospel.
It is Christanity
applied.
It is the easiest thing in the
world to be dissatisfied. Anyone
can do it, as the phrase goes,
without thinking.
But those
who really think must agree
with Amiel, the philosopher.

A Creed
Let me be a little kinder,
Let me be a little blinder
To the faults of those about me,
Let me praise a little more;
Let me be, when I am weary,
Just a little bit more cheery,
Let me serve a little better
Those that I am striving for.
Let me be a little braver
When temptation bids me waver.
Let me strive a little harder
To be all that 1 should be:
Let me be a little meeker
With the brother that is weaker,
Let me think more of my neighbor
And a little less of me.
Let me be a little sweeter.
Make my life a bit completer.
By doing what I should do
Every minute of the day;
Let me toil, without complaining,
Not a humble task disdaining;
Let me face the summons calmly
When Death beckons me away.
