Socialism does not plead for mere hog. like
existence. The Socialist believes in all truth,
wherever truth can be dscerned, and where
there is doubt as to what truth is, Socialism
sets up no lie. In this respect, the Socialist
shames the churches.
If we did not first embrace lie, it would
be easy to find the truth. Lies confront the So
cialjst all along the line of battle. Its great
author writes book, and in the book, confouuds
Socialism with free love. The Socialist believes
in the family, and along with that belief would
have the rain SO fall that every family should
have water. Therefore, the Socialist believes
in more happy families than are possible under
the reign of competition.
"If any man will not work, neither shall he
eat" That is good Bible doctrine, and the So
cialist believe in that doctrine.
Under Socialism, the man who grabs other
peoples earnings would either earn his own
bread or 60 on tie rock pile. Would that be
wrong? If not, Socialism is true on the pro.
ductlon and distribution OF bread and coal:
bread for the farmer and heat for the miner; or
rather, bread and heat for both. Can the po-
sition be refuted?

aire of competition. "He was cunning, brutal
vain, snowy and essentially vulgar, from his
head to his feet, in every fibre of body and
sou.'
Now the working woman "The woman
had earned, with her own busy hands, every
dollar of money she had ever possessed. She
would not have wronged dog for her own
personal advantage" The man is product OF
competition, and society is so degraded as to
lick the feet of the Cunning, brutal, vulgar"
monstrosity. The man dragged the image of
God in the slime of hell, and he thrust his
brother into depths far below manhood.
Which class do you prefer? The millionaire
and his degraded millions, or the working wo-
man?
Society accuses the working man of drinking
and drunkenness, but not the working woman.
Socialism prefers the working woman, "who
would not wrong dog" and who, with her
hands, contributes to society value for value.
Where does the truth lie2 Some people are
dead sure the Socialist is an anarchist. They
are too lazy to look for the definition of Social.
ism in standard dictionary There are plenty
of people who know better, who are not above
letting the lie run its course by giving SEM
blance of credence to the false impression. The
man who knows the truth and does not con-
tradict lies is no better than straightout liar.
Give Socialism fair hearing. We hold the
truth and the truth will set us free.
