BEARS DOWN
ON SOCIALISM
Rev. Father Sherman, Son of the
General, Roundly Condemns
It's Teachings.
Special to The Journal.

Special to Tho Journal
Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. pa strong
condemnation Of socialism and it's
teachings was given at the Pabst the
alter by Rev. Thomas Ewing Sherman,
Catholi, priest and son of the late
General w. T. Sherman. The lecture
was under the auspices of the Catholic
Young Mems State union, and the
subject was Dreams and Realities"
He said in part:
"AmericaDiRm Is individualism.
Think how q few men came to this
country OILY g. few years ago; how
they have taken up this great con-
tinent; how ii has developed into the
great civilization and enlightenment
OF day, and then ask the socialist
what ho has ever done toward this.
Socialism Is all negative, and our posi-
ton IN all positive"
After picturing the Utopia Of social
ism, ne said that socialism would not
admit Il to be q dream, but wanted
it placed In political platform.
Father Sherman objected to any
plan Of division. How could the
great engine and ships be, divided,
and how could all the great artificial
powers In use to-day be divided. We're
the questions he wanted answered.
The government, he said, cost $780,
100000 g. year t, run. but II the state
were to have charge Of all work ana
industry 1t would cost billions. He
ridtauled tho Idea Of making labor
the standard of value, and said the
ideas Of socialism upon women were
too base to be repeated In an audi
ence Of American men and women.
