The One Explained and the Other Defined
AS An Answer kidder's Criticism of
Socialists and Their Cause.

ooCidlIStS ana Ine;r Cause.
(By Dennis Leahy.)
Mr.. Kidder says, Socialism may be de-
fined as faith fathered by wish manu-
featured premise in labor with impossible
conclusion, expectation sired by hope, and
damned by certainty, a will-o-the-wisp in
the cemetery of intelligence which has
stamped all the fools who were not halt
cred to the corpse of precedent. 1t is
species OF immaculate anarchy to which
it is related as varioloid to smallpox harm
less theory to devilish practice" Now
wouldn't that jar you? Here is some more:
Socialism is the dream of fools, the
vision of idiots, the apocalypse of luna
tics" etc., etc., etc.
1t is some relief for our lacerated feel
ings to be told that IAN improved assertion
calls attention to the assertor, so does a
bray"
If Kidder's definition of Socialism, does
not settle the hash of that 'idiotic" cult;
plutocrats, Democrats, and all other rats,
including Unitarians, trinitarians and all
other tarians, not 10 mention Kiddertarians,
may as well throw up the sponge. Social
ism, in that case, becomes inevitable.
Don't run away with the notion that l
am competing with Mr.. Kidder as phrase
builder l admit my pitiful inferiority at
the start. Mr.. Kldder takes the cake and
everything else in sight so far as l am
concerned. After proving that. whatever
is, is right and that Rockefeller, Hartman
ct. al, are public benefactors, and not pub
lie thieves. Mr.. Kidder proposes a polit-
ical remedy himself in a very unassuming
manner. His remedy is not Socialism nor
anarchy, it is peach. Here it is:
Restrict the suffrage and permit every
one to talk as they please" Amt that
great. Let EN- talk as they please but
don't let Sem vote at all. OF course a bril-
liant light like Kdder must be allowed to
vote as he pleases as well as talk any old
way he wants to.
If Kidder was a mule he would know
that there are more ways than one to talk
and that voting is one way, kicking another
IL we deny men the right to say how they
shall be governed, we deny them the
right to express themselves the only way
they know how. That would naturally
lead to such conditions as disgrace Rus
STA; and it has always proven to be the
prolific mother of ali kinds of He'll.
There is nothing to choose between the
beastly intolerance of the trinitarian and
the brutal bigotry of the Unitarian. No
more idiotic question was ever put to
mortal than the one asked by that sky
pilot of Frisco. Have you ever thought
fully committed the objectionable SIM"
Think of the Horrors of the Inqusition. of
Rome, of Geneva, and of Smithfield and
then you can see the drift of that question.
A question based upon the savings of a
mind, diseased and rotten with supersti-
ton. Clothe that sky pilot with political
power SO that he could enforce his dictum
Blue-grass blade., 1908-08-16
Cooperation and Socialism

with physical force and that Socialist
would quickly find himself on a rack or
roasting over a slow fire, where his crimi-
nal levity would be turned to groans of
agony to the satisfaction and savage joy
of the sky pilot.
No man can be any better than his God
The God of that sky pilot is a monstrous
and ferociOus brute. Nor can God be any
better than his worshipper. He never was
and never will be. God is of the tornado,
pestilence war. famine, rattlesnakes, crock
odiles, and Demonstrators. A human be-
ing cannot conceive of any kind of God
that is better than himself. The develop
ment of God keeps pace with the develop
ment of man. The God of the savage is a
savage. The God of the civilized man is
civilized. The God of the enlightened man
is non t.
That sky-pilot is a fool, given political
power and in due course he would bloom
out most ferocious brute.
History shows nothing so clearly as that
intolerance, bigotry, inhumanity, tyranny,
and oppression are inseparable companions
with all forms of religious worship. 1t can
not be otherwise. It's in the very nature
of such worship
Mr.. Kidder's notion of Socialism was
fathered by ignorance, mothered by pref
udice, born in riot, and matured with the
milk OF selfshness. 1t Is a promising
Kid, and the pride of its daddy: it's name is
tommyrot He says Il have never met a
Socialist who could define Socialism" Mr..
Kidder might get very good definition of
Socialism from the standard encyclopedia.
But that is not what he wants. He wants
definition that will accoro with his pre-
conceived notion and prejudice. One that
accOrds with his own, or Socialism might
not be the dream of FOOLS" If Socialism
should prove to be the dream of sages
The Socialist party like all other parties
both religious and political, is made up of
individuals possessed of various degrees
of knowledge, who are drawn together by
the attractive power of some central idea.
The central idea Of Republicanism is pater-
nalism. 1t manifests itself in special privi-
leges, PENSIONS and protection. Democrats
are held together by the idea of equality
before the law. Christians are held to-
gether in the first place by the idea of
limited number of Gods. Unitarians are
held together by the idea of the oneness
or unity of God. Socialists are drawn to-
gether by the idea of industrial co-opera-
ton. In all cases the central idea, the at
tractive force, Is more or less observed by
fog and fallacy caused by the efforts of
tyros to demonstrate the truth Of the
idea. When the idea becomes heavily OBJ
scured, the party becomes subject to dis
Indignation. The condition Of the demo-
cratic party and the trinitarians shows that
the central idea In those two parties has
been lost sight of. The Unitarian idea has
very little attractive power as religious
force. Materialism is steadily developing
the power of attraction. 1t is easy to see

tolerance toward the slightest injustice or
wrong. Indeed, do not believe he would
have compromised his honor or bartered
his integrity for all the wealth of all the
treasures of all the governments of earth
And this is the fairest blossom that can
bloom over a grave. He whose life is an
eXemplifcation of truth and justice and
right is greater than any conqueror or any
king; for thus does one become a thousand
yea, thousand times thousand-in
his influence for good.
If my feeble and hating rhetoric were
otherwise, and could be commensurate
with the nobility and beauty of the life of
my counselor and friend, this tribute
would be a classic. Often have the ignoble,
the base and groveling, purchased for
price such praise as this, which he has
earned and won Surrounded by those be-
setting temptations which are ever insep-
arabic from pioneer life he withstood them
all, and rose like some towering monolith
majestic, defiant.
He is gone. No more that electric thrill
cOurser through that inanimate form.
Life and mind as Independent entities, are
inconceivable; they can manifest them
selves only when united with a more or
less complex organic structure. And at
this point it should be observed that the per-
sonages of the Old Testament, who were in
direct communication with Jehovah knew
nothing of future life. 1t is significant
that that book follows it's heroes only to the
grave; there was the last of Moses, of Da-
vid, of Samuel.
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul"
Believe it not because Longfellow has
sung it; Longfellow was a poet, but not
always a logician.
Brief indeed, Is the span of human life
Its morning with radiant glow in the east
ern sky, soon passes into the full brilliance
and splendor of noon and swift and ever
swifter when the shadows have begun to
lengthen, falling backward from lifes me-
ridian, it speeds on to it's western haven.
on to the gates of peace and rest, on to the
land where Lethe is king. We listen for a
little while to the rapturous music of the
wild woodland singer; but, ah! how speed
lily must follow natures mournful chant
and solemn dirge!
On an occasion like this many will ask,
What is the estate of the dead? The atheist
must answer that death is only dissolution;
it is simply return to former condition,
inorganic and insensate. This Is natures
universal law; and we know that the loss
OF an endles future cannot be greater than
the loss of beginnngless past.
Death is eternal rest No fearful cata-
clysm, when worlds are hurled against
worlds and universal chaos reigns supreme
can ever disturb that peaceful halowed
sleep.
If any should suspect that in this dis
course l have gone beyond or enlarged upon +.
the settled convictions of John Riley Lewis,
answer that l believe / have not in any
essential particular. These things he be-
lieved when his intellectual faculties were
at their best; these things he still believed
when bent and gray; these things he did
not recant in the hour of DEATH when at
last, he had reached eternity's portal And
be it said, that there are some whose minds
