The "ParIor Socialist"

when Secretary Taft in his New
Haven address spoke Of the "parlor
Socialist" he coined a phrase which
will live. Everybody knows what he
means and hence the value of the new
expression. Said Mr.. Taft, 'When
one encounters a graduate of uni
yersity who is swayed only by his feel
inrs and has developed into a 'parlor
socialist we have a result with when
81 Is difficult to be patient. I fear this
class for the present is on the increase
but believe that like all other classes
of cranks it will fade away"

But the "parior socialist" was just as
