The stricter judgment of society on

therefore, according to the argument,
young men forbear to fall under the

Their Relative Cost to q Community
Estimated.
The Sioux City Qa) Journal publish
es an interesting article on the relative
cost to a community Of it's churches
and it's saloons. 1t uses the city Of
Waterloo, Ia, as an example:
The combined membership Of all the
Waterloo churches is 1923. which
shows, according to Waterloo clergy
man, that more than half the adult
population Of the city are processing
Christians. There are eighteen church
es and eighteen clergymen.
On the other side of the case we are
told there are twenty saloons, with
forty proprietors and bartenders,
against eighteen ministers. The
amount of business necessary to sup
port these saloons at very modest
estimate, we are informed, cannot fall
short of $146,oOO year. No compara-
tive estimate of the expense of the
churches is given, but doubtless it
would be liberal estimate to say that
the average is not above $4,000, or q
total for the eighteen churches Of $72,-
600, $4,000 less than the cost Of the
saloons.
If the churches draw somewhat upon
outside patronage it is to be conceded
that the saloons have advantage in
that respect. Possibly some Of the
church members contribute to the sa.
looms; but, on the other hand, it is safe
to say that more than half of the peo
pie who are not church members are
not saloon patrons. One-half Of the
people Of Waterloo pay $4,000 a yeal
for churches, while not above one
quarter Of the people Of Waterloo pay

veieping and spreading everywhere with
great rapidity.
10 the first place the Populist move

movement while from the beginning
Socialism has been international. And
when one understands that the acute
social problems of today are no long
er local and national but are interna-
tional and that no mere national party
can solve them, since the trust and
monopoly are international, the for
nation OF an International party is
OF immenee Significance. Therefore
the fact that the Socialist party has
been already 50 years in the field, has
its organization in every important
nation on earth, and in some coun-
tries, notablyi In Germany where it re-
Gently cast over 5000, 900 votes, it is
nearing the goal of victory-these
facts ought to have great weight in
helping the agricultural workers to
decide for Socialism.
And moreoYer the only movement
that ever did promise any relief to the
farmer working. class has entirely dis
appeared. The Democratic party pol
iticisns With the single, slight and
even questionable concession of the
free coinage OF silver prevailed upon
the Populiet leaders to abandon prac-
tically all of the Populist philosop ply
and unite with the Bryan movement.
The inevitable result of this was the
split up of the Populist movement for
the really reform element could not
conscientiously consent to this betray-
al Of their cause. This division COM
pletely demoraIized the Populist move
ment. One part went back to q cspi-
talfst party-the other marshal q
for1orn hope and attempted to make q
stand in the elections in 1900. The
showing was SO pitiably small that all
who appreciate the significance of the
situation considered it the end of all
Populist political effort. The total
vote of no-fusion Populists in the
whole U. S. in 1900 was only 40 600 or
less than three-tenths Of per cent of
the entire vote. This was certainly q
deeisive result and the few remaining
Populists generally regarded it as the
last OF the PoPulist party.
Meanwhile the Socialist party alsho
hardly yet in the field at that time had
never-the- less mustered IS, 600 votes in
1900 or twice as many as the Populist
party with IS, 900 more Socialist votes
in the Socialist Labor party which
had not yet joined forces. Since that
time the Socialist propaganda has
been pushed with such vigor and effect
as was possible with the result that to-
day q conservative estimate OF the
Socialist vote would give US at least
400, 900 with Socialist representatives
in several state Legislatures, and the
party in power in number of cities
OF considerable size.
If the agricultural classes have any
hope for relief from capitalistic condi-
tions it cannot be in the Popul st
movement. That is gone. There is a
very decided hope however In the So
cialist movement They therefore
should join it. And they will.
