minds of the better class of citi-
zens. l may say in passing that
am a Socialist and have been for
years. This Polish Jew is a disgrace
TO the principles he is supposed 10
represent. He speaks on his own
authority. He does not bring ere
dentials. That he should be tolerat-
ed by the local here is sad refiec-
tion upon their integrity and intel
ligence. / have known many fine men
and women who were Socialists.
They were cultured and upright,
holding high position in the business
and social life in their town, but the
Socialist party is generally held in
disrepute everywhere because this
class constitutes but a small part of
their membership. These persons
first referred to occupy themselves
with their own business affairs.
While staunch socialists. they yet en-
ter heartily into every movement
promulgated for the good of the COM
munity in which they live. Three
fourths of the Socialist membership
have no special business interests nor
do they desire any. They are not
mentally capable of properly conduc-
ting any responsible business on a
large scale. There being no law
against cooperative stores, mines
and the like, when Schulenberg was
asked why Socialists did not con-
duct such enterprises Independent of
capitalists, he replied evasively, I'VE

the hoboe as a superior citizen, a
man to be praised for the desertion
Of his family, his drunkenness. his
habit of living without work. That
labor conditions for the working man
nave beeen hard and cruel is not to
be denied. But labor we must under
good conditions or under poor ones
and the Socialist mind Is not of a
quality that realizes the value of

society at large. This Jew is an

voting the Socialist ticket. fool and
,laims all things intellectual for him
ielf. forgetting that ages ago II was
said of such as he: The fool hath
said in his heart. There is no God. ="
he is an avowed materialist. While
we must certainly take heed to bod
