he first went on to show what this
world wide movement WAS not aud
then to explain the philosophy
that has following Of nine mil
lions OF people taken from the best
scholars and the best civilization
of all the world. To learn what
socialism Is, one must 90 to its all
vocates aud not to IFS enemies.
The opponents of socialism say it
ia the same rs ansrchism. others
that 1t is communism, and that it
means the rich must divide up
with the POOR. etc These as
symptoms were refuted by the
speaker whb explained that an.
archy held that there SHOULD, be no
'law, no government, while social
isra contemplated the highest law
ever conceived by man. Socialism
holds mere thoroughly aud more
fssurely TO private ownership of
property. than any other system
ever yet devised aud aboys all it
condemns the dividing up" not
only the rich with the poor, but
\ me poor with the poor our pres

illustrate how every farmer, every
laborer, and every small business

Under socialism the producer will

operative commonwealth is the
next step forward. As before
stated socialism holds that the
laborer is entitled Ia The product Of
his toll. Under the co. operative
commonwealth the tools or means

in common will be owned IN com
