have been laboring to impress the
truth of your ideas upon the reform
ers. and [ have succeeded in a much
greater degree than in any other re-
form work in proportion to energy eX-
pended | find the chief obstacle to
the complete prevalence of your view
to be the unwise socialists who act as
though topromote direct leEislationto
first place in the political program is
to put socialism aside or backward in
a second place. This is teetotally en-
roneous. and | hope that our more il
liberal brethren will soon see that it
is. The fact is that if we make d.
rect legislation our first sep all re-
forms are second. and no one is COM
PEELED to struggle with or retard an
other in order to get recognition for
itself. You cannot fully realize the
great good that editorial will do, com
ing as it does from so true a. socialist
source.
will send you proceedings of Re
form Union convention of May ,,
which has called a special Di-ect Leg
islative convention to endeavor to
unite all true reform elements in po-
litical action for direct legisl ation, in
Guiding imperative mandate and pro-
pOrtional representation. The con-
ventiou is to be held in St. Louis Nov.

want to express approval also of
your editorial, "Toothpicks and
Street Cars" and your choice
"Combe's Moral Philosophy" as one
of the desirable books for your eduCa-
tional department.
| have long admired your inteili-
gent. systematic ana effective work.
