PHILOSOPHY OF FAILURE.
Professor J. Laurence Laughlin Makes
New Definition of Socialism.

CHICAGO. December 4.-During an ex-
position of the labor question Prof. J. Lau-
renee Laughlin of the University of Chi
cago told the members of the Citizens In
dustrial Association of America, whose
guest he was at banquet last night, that
socialism is the philosophy Of failure. He
declared further that In allying themselves
with it men admitted themselves failures,
and asked society to do for them what they
had been unable to accomplish for them
selves.
Prof. Laughlin first made a plea for fair
play in behalf of the employee. He asserted
that better conditions could be derived by
a reduction of the tariff on raw materials,
and that this would rebound to the benefit
of the employer and employee, affordng bet
ter markets abroad and cheaper products
for home consumption. Labor and capital
must work in conjunction.
Other speakers at the banquet were c. w.
Post. president of the association, and j.
w. Van Cleave of st. Louis. The latter, who
responded to the toast 1.-The President of
the United States compared President
Roosevelt to President Jackson. He was
eXtolled for his conduct in steering mid
die course in labor questions and applying
the law to "captalistic trusts and labor
trusts In conclusion, Mr. Van Cleave
said: Gentlemen, 1 do not renominate
