pared with the immense audiences
which greeted J. Kerr Hardie on his

end, but his trumpet tones stir no
spoke in empty halls. Hardie and
Debs are apostles of the coming day.
They point to the light of the morning
and bid the people to shake off their
sleep and greet the days that are to
come. They speak of the fullness of joy
that shall come as the light of the
truth shall spread Owe the earth and
scatter the darkness and gloom that is
now with us, and Danish the demons
of hate and greed and selfshness that
prowl among us And the crowds that
gather to hear are buoyant with hope
and confirmed in the belief that ali
men are brothers. 1t needs no oracle
to read these signs. The people are
ripe for revolution, but it must be rev.
olution, no half way measures. The

tary to the unborn heirs of the
original benefactor. The time
will come when men will per-
ceive that it is as monstrous
for father to bequeath to his son q
controlling interest in a factory or a
railroad, as it would now appear for a
president Of the United States to offer
his daughter the city of New York as q
dowry. Once more, is it we'll for all
that some men have genius to organize
capital and labor, and natural resources
for manufacture on an enormous scale.
It is a very stupid man who would be-
grudge to such organizers large re-
wards for their work. But men arc
beginning to see that the merits of the
organizers OF industry, as we'll as of
the inferior laborers, are frequently
credited to stockholders The claims
of stockholders to surplus values. after
market rates of interest, and rent, and
wages are paid, may possibly represent
a presumed service to society which
stockholders as such do not perform.
There is no more reason, in the nature
of thing, why laborers should pay
bonus to stockholders for the privilege
of making property productive, than
there is for demanding that policemen
should pay those stockholders for the
privilege of protecting the property
from burglars.
THE unrest of our society to-day is
due, in a large measure, to suspicion
that men are falling more and
more into the position of toilers
for other men who are evading the law
of reciprocal service. If it were our
duty to believe that the thing which
now is must always be, it would be
treason to describe desirabl things
not yet achieved. It is both weak and
wrong to refuse recognition of a prin-
ciple on the ground that we cannot
foresee the method of it's application.
Right thought and right feeling make
right action easier. The most dismal
and impotent pessimism is the hope
lessness that dares not admit the need
Of change. Adoption of the principles
just cited into commanding rank in
our standards of social action will as
sure steady approach to more worthy
conditions. The details of progressive
adjustment must come from expert
ments, just as in the case of improve
ments in printing presses or in dyna.
