ARGUES WITH SOCIALIST.
DEBATE INSTEAD OF ADDRESS
 ON GREEN

Alexander ROsen, New York Socialist,
 Gives Platform to Unknown Opponent
 of Party PrincipIes-Unknown Speaks
 of Socialism as "AlI Embracing
 Trust"-WonId be Worse Than Press
 ent Regime.
 Those who clustered around the little table on the green last night from which Alex Rosen, the New York socialist, spoke were treated to a debate instead of speech. MT. Rosen's opponent was one of the crowd of listeners who, when opportunity was given to ask questions, called Mir. Rosen to task for some of his statements, and later on at Rosens invitation took the stand in Opposition to socialism.
 This unknown debater referred to so- cialism as an "all embracing trust, which, when once in power, would give us no better satisfaction than the pres ent regime' Then he said we should be dependent on the state of which each would form an Insignificant cipher for everything that we eat or wear.
 At first he was hissed by the crowd but as he continued speaking he gained some favor and applause,
 The unknown was interviewed by a Journal and Courier reporter when he had finished speaking but refused to divulge his name, saying that he was not in it for notoriety. He was a mid dle aged man, and evidently an Eng fish Jew, and seemed very conversant with the history of the. United States and Europe. He said that tisis was the only country in which a man could en- joy religious toleration. He cited his own case as an example He had been resident of England where there is a state church. He had tried to en- brace the Jewish religion but the laws of the land prevented. A Jew could become a Church of England man, but the system did not work vice versa. He had therefore come to America.
 In reply Rlosen distinguished between political and industrial freedom, saying that he had plenty of the former but insufficient of the latter. We could oust our president and our mayors, but we could not rid ourselves of the trust presidents under the present sys- tetm.
 In his opening speech Rosen was listened to by a quiet and attractive group of about 150 men and women. His subject was Socialism and Why It Must Succeed" There was little of the small boy rowdyisrn which is often displayed at green addresses.
 MT. Rosen is a small, dark-haired man young, wearing la Jack Lonon soft rolling collar shirt and a dark ready made suit. He made a number of attacks on such corporations are the Brooklyn Repid Transit company, and the beef trust, declaring that the rem- edy for all abuses was for the people to take charge hf these
 His irony regarding the capitalistic class was telling, but he was slightly inaccurate in his accounts.
