The Socialist Speaker Makes Another Ad-

r. P. Lamonte, the representative
of social democracy, made his second
appearance on Market square last
night Much of his speech was repe-
tition of what he had said before and
what is familiar to all who have heard
socialist theories expounded. Based
on the hypothesis that man will work
without having to, that there is no
difference in mental calibre and that
distributions of the worlds commcdi-
ties is a comparatively insignificant
business. it is easy to give to social
ism an attractive coloring. One thing
the speaker pointed out that is un-
doubleday true-if the issue of i'm
perialism, which is before US now,
wins this fall. there will be nothing
to limit our expansion by conquest.
He held we are becoming educated to
think of war as common thing by
the manner in which it is held before
US. At the same time the horrors of
it all are not brought home to US and
so the desire for conquest is fostered
1t matters little whether weadmit the
oriental la borer to our country or take
our country to the orient. The effe ct
is the same and it means the compe-
tition of cheap labor with American
la Dor and the breaking down of the
protective system so dear to the re-
pu blican heart.
