to be between capital and labor, but
that is too narrow and too special a
conception of it. 1t is, rather, between
capital in all its larger accumulations
and all other less concentrated. more
dispersed, smaller, and more individual
economic forces; and every new policy
proposed has as its immediate or ulti.
mate object the restraint Of the power
of accumulated capital, for the protec-
tion and benefit Of those who cannot
command its use.
This anatomizing of our social struc.
ture, this pulling it to pieces and scru.
tinizing each part of it separately as
if it had an independent existence and
interest and could live not only separ.
ately but in contrast and contest with
its other parts, as if it had no organic
union with them or dependence upon
them, is very dangerous and unwhole.
some thing at best; but there are per-
iods of excitement and inquiry when
it is inevitable, and we should make the
best of it, if only to hasten the process
of refrigeration. This process OF seq
regation and contrast is always symp-
tom of deep discomfort. 1t is not set
afoot accidentally. 1t generally comes
about, as it has come about now, be.
cause the several parts OF society have
forgotten their organic connections,
their vital interdcpendence, and have
become individually selfish or hostile
because the attention of physician is
in fact necessary. 1t has given occa-
sion to that extensive and radical pro-
gram of reform which we call Socialism
and with which 80 many hopeful minds
are now in love. We shall be able to
understand our present confused affairs
thoroughly and handle them wisely only
when we have made clear to ourselves
how this situation arose, how this pro-
gramme was provoked, and what We in
dividually and collectively have to do
with it.
The abstract principles of Socialism
is not difficult to admire. They are, in
deed, hardly distinguishable from the
abstract principles of Democracy. The
object of the thoughtful Socialist is to
effect such an organization of society
az will give the individual his best pro-
lection and his best opportunity, and
yet serve the interest of all rather than
the interest of any one in particular:
an organization of mutual benefit, based
upon the principle of the solidarity OF
all interests. But the programme OF
Socialism is another matter. 1t is not
unfair to say that the programmes of
Socialism so far put forth are either
utterly vague or entirely impracticable.
That they are now being taken very
seriously and espoused very ardently
Is evidence, not OF their excellence or
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-10-25

practicability, sbut only of the fact to
which no ob5ervant man can longer shut
his eyes, that the eontesting forces in
our modern society have broken its
unity and destroyed its organic har
mony--not because that was inevitable
but because men have used their power
thoughtlessly and sel6shly, and legit
innate undertakings have been pushed
to illegitimate lengths. There has been
an actual process of selfish segregation
and society has co reacted from it that
almost any thorough going programme
of refrigeration looks hopeful and at.
tractivc. Such programmes cannot be
thrust aside or defeated by mere op.
position and denial; they can be over.
come only by wiser and better pro.
grammes, and these it is our duty as
patriotic citizens to find.
The most striking fact about the nc.
tual organization of modern society is
that the most conspicuous, the most
readily welded, and the most formid,
able power is not the power of govern.
ment, but the power of capital. Men
of our day in England and America
have almost forgotten what it is 10
fear the government, but have found
out what it is TO fear the power OF
capital, to watch it with jealousy and
suspicion, and trace to it the source OF
every open or hidden wrong. Our mem.
cries are not of history, but of what our
own lives and experiences of the men
above us have disclosed. We have had
no experience in our day or in the days
of which our fathers have told us of
the tyranny of governments, Of their
minute control and arrogant interior.
ence and arbitrary regulation of our
business and of our daily life, though
it may be that we shall know some.
thing of it in the near future. We have
forgotten what the power of govern
ment means and have found out what
the power of capital means; and so we
do not fear government and are not
jealous of political power. We fear cap
ital and are jealous of its domination
There will be need Of many cool heads
and much excellent judgment amongst
us to curb this new power without
throwing ourselves back into the gulf
of the old, from which we were the first
nation of the world to find practical
way Of escape.
The only forces that can save us
from the one extreme or the other are
those forces of social reunion and so.
cial refrigeration which every man Of
station and character and influence in
the country can in some degree and
within the scope Of his own life set
afoot. We must open our minds wide
to the new circumstances Of our time
must bring about<s now common under.
