BONAPARTE ON SOCIALISM
DISCUSSED IN CONNECTION WITH
 QUESTION OF CHARITY.

Root of Socialism the Doctrine That All
 Men of Right Ought to be and Should
 Therefore be Made and Kept Pecise-
 ly EquaI-WhoIIy Arbitrary Dogma
 Justified Neither by Reason Nor HIs-
 tory-More Freedom Given the Less
 Equal Men Become.
 New York, March 24.-Attorney Gen. eral Charles J. Bonaparte lectured at Carnegie hall tonight on Socialism and Charity" The occasion was a benefit for the society of St. Vincent de Paul of the city of New York, and the lecture followed musical program
 Archbishop John M, Farley, presided and in introducing the attorney general said In part:
 T had the honor a short tim eago to be speaking with his excelency, the president of the United States, and in our conversation the president referred to MT. Bonaparte and to another in the highest terms, The president told mic that he wanted such men to take office Men who were willing to make personal sacrifices for the good of their country. He said that the spectacle of such men working for the cause of good government would be an incentive to well -to-do young men of the country to do likewise. This was the testimony of President Roosevelt to Mir Bona Darte.
 Such testimony is as creditable to the president as it Is to Mir. Bonaparte. It shows that our president is a states man and farseeing. The same motive that moved Mr. Bonaparte, demanded by the president, has brought him here this evening and this comments him to you, I take great pleasure in intro ducing to you the first Catholic citizen in the United States"
 MT. Bonaparte said in part:
 'It has been said on high authority that the poor need not aims but a frlend;" I should say rather that they need both.
 "As have said on another occasion, the root of socialism is the edoctrin that all men of right ought to be, and should therefore be made and kept, precisely equal. This doctrine is a wholly arbitrary dogma, a pure as- sumption, justified neither by reason

If this is done, MT. Corea says, the war is ended, otherwise he is firm ly convinced that 1t will only be a question of a short time until hostili- ties are again resumed The Nicara- guan minister tomorrow will ask Sec retary Root and the Mexican ambassa- dor, MT.
