THE DRIFT TOWARD SOCIALISM

7, our news columns yesterday was
mentioned the fact that the SOCIALIST
Labor marty elected two members OF the
Massachusetts Legislature from the CITY
Of Haverhill The correspondent VINO
sent out this statement says that among
the Republican and Democratic Ieaders
II 10 now admitted that the SOCIALISTS
have become an important factor locally
in political affairs. We may add That II
the Socialists do not become an import
ant factor In national affairs 1t viii be
for no lack of effort on the part OF the
Populistic propaganda in this country Tor
Socialism is nothing but Populism car
ried 10 its logical conclusion. The Popu-
lisr Is a Socialist to a degree. The Popu-
list stops half way. while the Socialist
goes on TO the end.
If anyone doubts this let him compare
the platform of the Populst party with
that of the latest platform of the So
cialist Labor party. The Populists and
their allies have for years been denounc-
ing corporations and the money power,
and have been declaring that the work
ingman is down-trodden, that the farmer
| is not able to make support on his
| farm. and that the whole trouble is due
! 20 the fact that there was not enough
money in the country. Therefore the
| Populisits say that "the powers of gov
eminent should be expanded-aS-rapidiy
as possible" that the government should
omen its minis to the free coinage or
silver. ard that the circulating medium
should be increased to not less than $50
per capita. They also demand a gradu-
ated income tax; the establishment of
postal savings banks; government con-
troll of railroads. telegraph and tele-
phone lines, and they recommend the leg
,sIative system known as the initiative
and the referendum"
The Socialists declare also that the
poor man is down trodden, and that the
rich man gets all the benefits OF the
moor mans toll The Socialists are.
| equally with the Populists, opposed to the
money power, to organized wealth, to
| corporations in general. and they cite
| statistics TO show that machinery has
thrown thousands Of yorkingmen out OF
| employment. The Socialists also contend
| that the farmer does not make as much
| money as he should from his farming
| operations.
Therefore, say the Socialists, we will
| NOT stop at halfway measures. We will
not compromise with the monster We
| win take him bag and baggage and
| throttle him, and we will run the whole
| government and the whole country in
| the interest of the whole people. DO
YOU question our right to demand that
the land and machinery of production
and distribution be taken from the indi-
y!dual and given to the people collec-
tively?" We quote from the organ OF
the Socialist Labor party in Richmond.
and here is the answer: "The land was
given for the whole human family, and
we as parts Of that family are entitled
to our inheritance. 1t is our birthright.
All other vsi0es ere the creation of COL
lectivs society ana OF right belong to So
clesy collscs4veiy.'

Smiles.

Our life is beset with smiles all the way;
With smiles that are grave. with. smiles
that are gay.
With smiles that will last for years and
for years,
With smiles that will soon be melted In
tears.
The smile of glad Joy. that beams in the
eye;
The sOrrowful smile. that ends in a sigh;
The laugh of the child at innocent play;
The musical laugh. so happy and gay.
The smile of the cynic, the smile of the
fool,
The smile of the boy Just out of his
school,
Tho smile of the firt, the smile of the
dude,
Gufraw of the yokel, hearty and ruds-
The smile of contempt, the smile OF re-
nose, a. &
The smile Of derision every one knows;
The smile OF n foe, the smile of a friend
Has each its own purpose, serves Its
own end.
We smile and we smile. to hide with a
mask
The guile OF our life. the toll Of our task:
Iruming our hopes, suppresslng our
fears.
We brighten our lives by hiding our
tears.

DON'T PARDON THE TRAIN-ROB-
REK.

We hope that Governor Tyler will not
pardon Searcy, the train-robber. We
doubt not that he has been a good pris-
oner and all that. But he committed
what is to our way Of thinking one Of the
most dastardly crimes Of the day.
There is no moro dangerous criminal
on the face of the earth than the train
robber. He starts out on his mission
with murder in his heart. He always
goes armed to the teeth, armed alike
with guns and dynamite. He is going
10 open the safe and take the money at
all hazard, and he wiz blow up the whole
train with dynamite and slaughter every
man and woman on the train, If neces-
sary to accomplish HIS purpose. Worse
than all it is almost impossible 10 adopt
any means Of protection against him.
He meets the train at a lonely spot, when
all are unsuspicioUs, stops it by signals
which the engineer dare not disregard
and covers the engineer with pistol
and compels him TO obey orders, while
his companions sec to 1t that the pas
sengers and train hands do not interfere.
All are at the mercy Of the robbers and
resistance is useless.
Such a robbery was committed a few
years ago in Virginia and this man Searcy
was party to 1t. He got off with what
we regard as very light sentence and he
should be made to serve it out. To par
don him were TO give aid and encour-
agement to every train-robber in the land
and we feel sure that the Governor does
not want to do that

resolutions of me Richmond District
Convention, In which 1t Ia declared 'hai
"the only means whereby civilization
may be saved and the workers FUZZY en-
ployed IL by the whole people owning
and operating collectively the tools OF
production and distribution-the land ana
machinery"
In the national platform OF the So
cialist Labor party It is held that "as
the machinery of government Is owned
and controlled by the whole pepie' 'he
true theory OF economics Is that the ma
chinery of production must likewise be-
long to the people in common. Inc Do
clalists also demand a graduated in
come tax and the referendum"
The PopulIsts demand that the govern
ment take control of the transportation
and telegraph lines. The Socialists de-
mand that the government take control
OF everything.
The Populists demand that the govern
ment shall do something to help the
government shall take charge of all the
lands and do the farmers farming for
him.
The Populists demand that the govern
ment shall do something to help the I'M
employed. The Socialists demand the EN-
ployment of the unemployed by the pub
lie authorities, county, city State ana
Union"
The Populists demand that the govern
ment shall make prices and wages higher
by issuing more money The Socialists
saw that the labor-saving machinery OF
the country is responsible for the low
price Of both labor and commodities ana
that the remedy is for the government 10
tako charge OF the machinery.
II must be clear TO any man who Will
study these several propositions that
as between the Populists and the Social
lists the latter are the more logical III
government control in any department OF
bushes is a good thing II should be
extended to all departments Of business.
Why stop at partial control We cannot
have too much Of good thing.
We have time and time again con-
tended in Those columns that the drift
OF the New Democracy is towards Popu-
ism. and no fair-minded man can dis
pute that fact for the New Democracy
has been from the first counting the
Populist vote and catering to IL with
Popuistic promises. But the tendency
of Populism is towards complete Social
ism: therefore the tendency Of the New
Democracy is toward complete Social
ism. There can be no middle ground.
The one great foundation principle OF
Democracy is manhood independence no
interference on the part Of the govern
ment with the God-giyen rights OF citi-
zens. no meddling on the part of the
government with the bushes affairs OF
life every man a sovereign, govern
ment preference 70 none, government
protection TO all. AS soon as the party
departs one jot from that principle, as
soon as Il begins TO talk about govern
ment control, it is on the road TO Popu-
ism, and Populism Is on the road to
complete Socialism. Democracy is as far
from Socialism as the East IS from the
West, and there can be no compromise
with a.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

y ~
We can think OF no more timely topic
for a Sunday morning discourse than that
of Thanksgiving. According to Gus
tom the President of the United States
has named Thursday. November Path as
a day OF prayer and thanksgiving. and
has recommended that on that day the
people OF the United States shall assem-
bic themselves together in their accus-
20 Almighty God for his goodness and
loving kindness TO them. The President
says that there are peculiar reasons just
now why the people of the United States
should be thankful. and why they should
set apart day for this expression OF
their gratitude.
Tho Times would recommend. there
fore, that the people OF Virginia make
this the greatest thanksgiving day In
the history OF the state. And we say
this not simply because this country has
passed through a war and has succeeded
in silencing the guns Of the enemy with
particularly because we have abundant
harvests and because business conditions
generally are favorable. but because. In
our opinion, the people of these United
States are in especial need of cultivat-
ing the true spirit OF gratitude.
For the past several years we have
been q nation OF indictments, nation
of grumblers, in spite of the fact that
we are the most favored nation to-day
upon the face of the earth. 1t is true
that we have passed through a season
OF business depression. and yet for all
this talk of hard times there has been
very little real suffering throughout the
United States for the necessaries and
even the comforts of life. Food has been
nientiful raiment, and fuel have been
cheap and the people generally nave
gotten along well.
But more than an this. There never
was q time since this government was
founded when liberty was more precious
and more universally respected, when the
institutions of tho republic were more
stable; when the church was more pro-
sressiye; when Christianity was more
firmly rooted; when money was more
freely expended for the relief Of suffer-
ing for educational purposes, for the
nromotion of good works, or the elevation
generally of mankind. We mentioned the
other day that II was proposed by the
Methodist Episcopal church to raise w.
oco 600 for church work as q twentieth
century contribution to Gods cause.
Yet in epite of this and all these the
American people have been grumpiihs
and growing and crying calamity, ana
the preachers of the gospel of discomfort
have held the boards for three years
We ought TO be ashemed of Ourselves we
ought indeed to appoint day OF speciai
thanksgiving and on that day we ough'
70 assemble ourselves together and get
down on our knees and ask Gods forgive
ness for our ingratitude, and thank MIN
from the bottom Of our hearts LOT hif
mercy and benefactions.
We urge. therefore, that the people oil
this OLD Commonwealth shall with one
accord make point this year OF ooserV'
ING Thanksgiving Day. If they can al
be stirred to the depths with genuine
sense of gratitude to God. 1t VIII DO them
good and God will smile upon them
.praise God From Whom All Blessings
Flow!
