What seolalIsm Demands.

A writer who calls himself working
man thus assumes to "answer plainly
the question: "What Socialism demands?''
Socialism strives to abolish the present
system of private property-that is, that
all the means of production shall not
belong to a few persons. In order that
the working class may produce the necos-
sary means to live, and not possessing
the minerals and machinery, therefore
the working class must sell themselves
as slaves to the few who are branded
capitalists"
No doubt this man, who signs himself
"William Pohotsly," has in his mind
some conception of what he holds TO be
Socialism, but certainly he has not made
it clear in this letter, which was printed
in the New York World. He has gone no
further than the specific declaration that
Socialism strives to abolish the present
system of private property" which would
mean that Socialism is confscation. And
so It would be, carried to what its ad-
vocates call its Legitimate end"
And conhscation is about what Social
ism means in the mind of the average
Socialist.

Maxim Gorky the Russian author and
revolutionist, is also a Socialist. He is
now in this country, and is accompanied
by a woman who passed for a few hours
as Madame Gorky," but who is not his
wife. His wife and two children, from
whom he separated few years ago, are
in Russia. Thus, this writer Of fame. this
revolutionist who is held 10 be a patriot
this Socialist who would substitute
anarchy for government, appears before
the American people as degraded ,lustful
brute.
