Just now worried about socialism.
The business organizations are last
beginning 20 realize that strenu-
Gus policy Is leading 10 extremes In
politics. The result OF the late cleo
tion has even inspired alarm in the
ranks OF the victors- The extreme
OF class ACKNOWLEDGEMENT has brought
dizziness at the contemplation Of the
abyss which has been formed to sep
arate the working man and the pro-
Queer from the employer and the men
who control policies OF trade and
finance The success OF Rooseyeltism
left no common ground for the Two
classes Rooseveltism is the conse-
qaental antithesis of socialism. The
logical sequence has Just dawned up
on the political and business world
at the close OF a campaign that Of
fered no compromises 10 the forces
that opposed the ruling policy Of the
government and the party In power.
No sooner. however, has the results
Of the one sided battle OF ballots
been confirmed, than the politicians
and the business benetcaries Of pro-
lection and trust policies begin TO
suggest In fear, a eonciliatory pro-
gram for the future. The president
has pasted blind over his "Stand
Pat" banner: and promises to cele-
brate his inaugural after the manner
of newly-chosen monarchs, by cut
ting the shackles OF few slaves
He promises TO send message TO
congress in the winter time, In which
he will advise tariff reform and re-
ciprocity.
The Employers Union held Its Sec
ond annual convention In New York
last week at which President Parry,
OF coal strike fame, reviewed the
situation and urged the fight against
labor even at the risk OF the success

I measures to the end OF educating the
public against threatening political
