Genuine Socialism.

One OF the things of which thorough GO
ing Republicans professed 10 be afraid il
the event of Mr. Bryan's election. was So
ciaiism. They believed, or said they cid.
that the teachings of the Democratic lead
er tended toward socialism. It may be
well. therefore, to enquire what socialism
IS and whether the Republican party
shows any traces Of the principle which
1t so condemns. It is conceivable that If
a dog were brought Up from puppyfood
with the idea that he was man or
monkey, he might have that conviction so
firmly engrained il his mind that he would
never believe himself a dog at all. Some
times people possess the very qualities
which in others, they are the first 10 al
bar.
The trouble with socialism. according to
its opponents. is that it destroys independ-
enee by encouraging and even commanding
the citizen 70 look to the State for every
thing II is argued that man should
make his money BY his own Individual ef-
fort, without asking for Government as
sistance 70 keep him from starving. OF
course, If he actually reaches the starvation
dropping dead in the streets for lack OF
nourishment; it provides him with poor
house. a hospital. and Jail. in any one of
which. by observing the necessary formal
tiles, he can secure enough to eat. Some
Of the very poor have a prejudice against
the one place and some against the other,
and occasionally one is found who has q
prejudice against al three. and prefers to
die Of want rather than accept municipal
assistance. But so long as a man can
earn enough TO live on, it is argued, he
should do so, and not ask the State or his
neighbors to help him out
1t is pertinent 10 enquire. therefore
Just Why it becomes necessary for the
capitalists. especially tbs multi million
aires. Of th5s country, to ask Government
aid TO enable them to get living. They
are continually doing it, that is certain.
There has been No Congress for many
years without lobbyists working in the
interest of various people who need Sow
eminent aid in the shape of legislation
in order 10 carry on their business. The
curious thing about it is that most OF
these people are worth anywhere from
one mlllioD 10 one hundred millions, and
are certainly not in immediate danger
Of want. that they should ask Congress
to tax their employees and neighbors to
aeIp them.

He was one of the most prominent con-

feats of construction which required lot
only great ability but much courage. He
kept at work thousands of men and at
the time Of his death was devoting his at

lobby which is saying a good word for it
on the outside, has never been exeelled
in hospitality or liberaIity in Washing

could not be passed on its merits. 1t is

from their point of view; they can infu-
enee a local politician to rob the Coz
eminent in their behalf by making q
place for them at whatever cost. The
place may be one which only exists for
the purposes of the party politician, or
some experienced and faithful worker
may be turned out to give some politi-
clans protege a chance. The only diff
