KIRKUP ON SOCIALISM.
| Mr.. Kirkup in his book on Socialism, says:
At any rate, Socialists regard these collos-
sal corporations and the wealthy bosses that
direct them as the greatest pioneers OF their
cause. By concentrating the economic func-
tions Of the country into larger masses they
are simply helping forward the Socialistic
movement. Their mission is to displace the
smaller capitalists; but they will eventually
undermine capitalism altogether. In proper
ton as the Capitalization Of industry is push
ed forward the easier it will be for the demo-
cratic people to displace it's capitalistic chiefs
and assume the control Of it for the general
good. They are only Fastening the time
when vast educated and organized democ-
racy, subssting on prscarious wage labor,
will find itself face to face with limited
number of mammoth capitalists Such cri-
sis can have only one result. The swfter, the
more complete the success of the more pow
erful bosses, the quicker will be their over
throw by the democratic society. Such is the
belief of Socialists
THERE SHOULD BE NO FEAR
Economists should have no fear of this trend.
because the people are behind every economic
and industrial movement, and when their private
interests are endangered they move with rapid
ty that astonshes every conservative force in the
community. But whatever this trend, it seems to
me that it is a trend of business and not trend
Of Socialism, although it may be trend toward
Socialism Experiments will be tried everywhere,
as they arc now being tried the influence of the
achievements of state Socialism will increase; the
experience of other nations and Of this will give
emphasis to the trend, but it will be question
of success or failure-not the question of a phil
osophy, nor the question of q revolutionary sys-
tenn, not the question Of Socialism at all, but the
question of business interests of the public; and
when the business interests of the public demand
that certain utilities, certain interests certain in
dustres, it may be- shall be taken by the gov
eminent, it will be because the public is satisfied
that the government can conduct these matters
better than private capital. The government can
manufacture war Implements, can manufacture
cannon and many things. If it can do this and
make complicated warships, it can make locomo-
tives. But the government will succeed as capital
will succeed as the industrial combination will
succeed or fail-through its business experience
and through it's business management

Civil service comes in as q great necessity un-
der this trend; for without it, without pure
government, without Integrity Of administration,
this trend would be menace to all interests,
both private and public. The sentiment Of the
public is growing in this direction also, and help
ing along that trend which will be guided and
moulded to Socialism which shall mean the best
interests Of ah-not revolutionary, not icono-
elastic, but that kind of Socialism which
means the very best service to the public by each
individual in it.
DOES NOT CURTAIL OPPORTUNITIES.
The economic trend toward Socialism does not,
it seems to the writer reduce the opportunities
OF the individual to secure advancement. Indi-
vidual competition has changed; it is now mind
against mind or mind against matter. physical
force or pure muscular expenditures; and mind
wins. It is question of equipment, Of skill. The
man thoroughly taught in the theory and prac-
tice Of his trade or profession has decided ad-
vantage over the man who has not been trained.
This results in the presence at this time of con-
siderable number Of persons whose ambitions are
all right, but whose attainments are not equal to
their ambitions. They are what might be called
leftover men. They will have to struggle but
their children will be equipped. The demand for
men in supervisory positions is greater than ever;
the supply is not equal to the demand. The indi-
vidual is constantly being lifted up by mod
ern methods, taking out what might be called
w-rank Of individual service into high rank.
He must be competent, though; the incompetent
must still remain at the bottom of the ladder.
The chances of individual development and adj
vancement under modern methods are greater
than at any time, especially in the opportunity
to rise higher. There is always room at the top,
and the economic trend of which we have been
speaking does not interfere with that individual
ity which is essential to the prosperity Of any
society. This individual opportunity will very
largely Offset any disasterous results which may
come from the trend toward state Socialism.
SCORES HERBERT SPENCER
We cannot have much sympathy with Herbert
Spencer in the expression, in his work entitled
"iustice," that with the cessation of the police
powers Of the government the government itself
must cease, for it will have nothing more to do.
some guiding power, some regulating device
mutt exist Furthermore, in the most advanced
Socialistic state there must be use for some form
of government; but it will be that form of eov-
eminent which demands of each individual the
highest and purest service - not that which
comes through direct Socialism, but that which
involves the whole nature of man for the beueht
of himself and of his neighbor, and under which
the citizen, according to the old parable will be
like the OK standing between the altar on the ono
hand and the pillow on the other, symbolizing his
readiness for sacrafce or for labor

fear Of the word "Socialism" have
learned to respect Socialists as Individuals how
ever much might differ with them relative to
their tenets believe that the Socialists are do.
ing measure Of good.
It must be granted that industrial conditions
are the basis of society, and that all social reform
must hinge upon industrial conditions; and,
therefore, the economic trend of these conditions
toward what We popularity know Socialism
constitutes a vital question at the present time.
Mr.. Wright here gives review of the devel-
opment Of the principles of Socialism, and of the
things it has accomplished. He enumerates
among the latter many of the established systems
considered as parts of good society. The postal
system, with it's department of money transmits
zion; the postal savings bank features and the
parcels post; arbitration laws; factory regulation;
public ownership of many of the water and light
plants throughout the country; state life nsur-
ance; and many other departures from the old
established order. These things, Mr.. wright be-
iieves, are educating the public mind to the ad.
vantage of public ownership, and I" that the time
will come when this trend toward Socialism will
be recognized, and when it shall be recognised it
will have the experience of great countries on
which to argue for the new element")
TO ELIMINATE COMPETITION.
One of the great objects Of Socialism is to
eliminate competition. We are having now, in
this decade, various combinations with the avow-
ed purpose of eliminating competition. We are
told of the competition among members of
single group; that each group has it's own inter
nal competition; that by consolidating all the
members of the group into great combination,
internal competition ceases. Then we should
have the great groups competing with each 9th
er Suppose, for instance, that under the modern
industrial combination all the farmers should
combine and all the textile manufacturers and
all the iron and steel and shoe and leather
manufacturers, and 80 on down the list. In some
degree these combinations destroy competition
among the individual members of these groups;
and then can these great combinations compete
with each other? One of the most difficult ques-
tions of the trust discussion is found in that very
matter. The Socialists themselves feel that the
trust or the industrial combination which has
come up since the trust is an evidence of the
power of combination to kill competition. These
groups may become consolidated into greater
groups, and finally into one group. aud then the
government takes the place of the combination.
