Because Socialists talk of the evils of
th* system and say that there can be
no « nd of the robbery of the worker
until both the republican and democratic
parties are overthrown and th« '•<«• al-
ivt party comes to power, it must not be
supposed it is meant that So«iaHita arc
naturally any hotter or more honest in
desire than arc republicans or demo
crats. They mean only that the capi
talist system, sustained by both repub
lican* and democrats, is inherently
Immoral and dishonest, and right can
not prevail until it isdostroyed. Many,
■ ::.*-(. .*f th.-

support of the system and are conven
tionally good men. They simply <io not
sec the robbery that prevails, and sup
port wrong, not because they are per-
ver—, but only because they are ignor
ant of the wrong. They may be well
educated and well iMwtc.l along other

Some day they will see, and then the

In every city the public ia complain-
■ < about ths extortion of th* express
rates. ILindreda of thousands have
b-e n exp« njed by the public and g< v-
rmnwtil in the past Investigating and
awing about tbe express extortions.
And the same game Ls being aup|»>rtsd
by the votes of the men who complain,
they not having the sense or something
to see that if the public uwn*d and
operated the express business that there
would be rapid decrease in express rate*
as there has been in puatagc rates, be
es ise every congressman and senator
w “id tie with each other In giving
better and cheaper service tu the peo
ple from whom they get their election,
it seem* that voter* are very foolish to
keep on permitting men in offlee who
cplKS’- the collective ownership of
traiupurtiun, while at the same time
that same public is ever in hot water
because of the extortion and bribery
and crime by the men who privately
own th" express business. Most peo
ple cannot make comparison*. They
have i.wef l>een taught to reason at
all. S-s-i»! *t* know what to do and
howr to do it, but there are not encuith
of them yet to make the change.
You can hardly find u man these day*
wh«> will not say that he believes in
many things that the Socialist advo
cates. Hut so many stop short of the
one essential thing that is the over
throw of exploitation. Sociologists are
coming more and more to recognise the
truth of the Socialist philoaophy-but
philosophy is not enough. We must
come to the point of stopping the rob-
le-ry
W ords are good as means of
conveying ideas, but word* will not fill
an empty belly. Unless we come to
action. unless Socialism la transformed
from the realm of philosophy into an
actuality, into a living, breathing con
dition, it is nothing. Scientists are be
ginning to recognise the tremendous
evolutionary force which is bearing us
to Socialism
But if we depend on
forces alone and not on ourselves we
shall I m - centuries in reaching what
might be obtained in a few years.

The fact is just beginning to dawn on
the American people that we no longer
govern ourselves, we really live under
an imperial government, and the feder
al courts constitute the emperor. The
federal judges are appointed bv the
great corporation*, and thos- judge*
almost invariably uphold the rapacity
and oppression which we suffer at the
hands of the corporation*. Th«- law*
that congress pass do not amount to any
more than ths laws of the Russian
d> uma, where they are aimed at cor
porate abuse*, and yet we ridicule the
douma.
