shaw's Socialist Busahoos.
(Chicago Record HeralD

Ex-Secretary SHAW is alarmed at
the trend toward socialism in this
country today" and makes moving
appeal to college men to organize an
effective and aggressive opposition to
that dangerous movement. But he re-
Trains from giving the college men the
initial aid of a good working" def
milton of socialism. Are they to fight
distractions, ideals, dreams, predic-
lions or remote social reforms. or are
there concrete proposals pending tina:
should incontinently be attacked as in
stances of the socialism that is dan :
gerous and fatal in Mr.. Shaw's opin-
ion?
The average hard headed man deals
with specific things and is disturbed
little, if at all, by ambitious programs
that are admittedly outside the range
of practical politics and legislation.
The same hard headed man accepts a
thing on its merits, tests 1t by his
knowledge and experience, and becomes
Indifferent to the epithets that are APP
piled to it. He remembers, moreover,
that many measures and devices that
have been adopted with tolerably sat
isfactory results were ORIGINALLY de-
nounced as "socialistic." The regula-
ton and control of public service cor
porations that are now regarded as
essential used to be SO denounced.
In these circumstances the cry Of
Socialism" has lost it's quality of eX-
citing fear and alarm.
Furthermore. Mr.. Shaw fails to ac-
count for the trend which he sorrow
fully sees everywhere. Even par
tial explanation would help the college
men in reaching decision as to wha.
to fight and how. Mr.. Shaw finds So
cialism in the colleges, in the pulpit,
in the press, in popular lectures. All
the teachers of social science he
known as socialists, he says, If they are
not anarchists. This Is not the

STATUS OF THE SALOON.
(sionx CITY Journalo.


The saloon is legitimate business
institution unless 1t is made illegiti-
mate by specific statute. That is the
substance OF the Iowa supreme courts
ruling In the latest case involving a
test of the mulct laws constitutions
ality. The case In question was taken
up froms Waterloo. where an effort
had been made to enjoin a saloon adj
mitted to have complied literally with
all provisions Of the mulct law.
The point raised in the Waterloo
case was that the saloon Is nuisance
which must inevitably result in great
injury to society. 1t was contended
that the state has not right to license
a saloon. any more than 1t would have
the right to license man to commit
murder 1t was argued that the sa-
loon must be enjoined under common
law logic. regardless Of any efforts to
protect 1t In statute law. The same
line of reasoning was advanced in a
saloon case In Indiana n couple of
years ago and was Endorsed by dis
trict judge lit was. however repudi-
ated by the Indiana supreme court.
In the absence of law to the con-
trary, the manufacture and sale OF
liquor for beverage has always been
considered legitimate business. l II
Iowa the saloon was made illegitlmate
under the old prohibitory law. While
that law remained unmodified every
saloon was nuisance in the eyes OF
the law. But the mulct law. without
restoring full legitimacy to the saloon.
specified certain conditions under
which it might be operated without
mourning the penalty applicable to a
nuisance. The state has the right to
say saloon may not be operated I'M
der any conditions. Equally 1T has
the right to define conditions under
which the saloon may be operated.
That is what was done in the Iowa
mulct law
The saloon that pays the mulct tax
and complies with all other provisions
Of the law is given the right to exist
free from prosecution. That is all the
saloon gets, but that cannot be taken
away until the lawmaking power Is
willing to admit that the sale of liquor
as a beverage under all circumstances
Is a crime against society.

NEITHER STRIPES NOR CUSTOM MADE

! Warden. Sanders Is urging a plea
for change in the clothing Worn by
convicts in the state penitentiaries. The
warden goes to the limit. He would
have tailor made suits, Numbered
shirts and shined shoes for the con-
victs, who now wear the striped uni
form of penal servitude.
| Most of us will join the warden IN
his demand for the abolition of the
stripes. They are a relic Of the old
old regime an Inheritance from the
!! DAYS when it was considered wise
and proper part Of penal infection to
crop a portion of the ears Of the con-
| demned. There is no just reason why
a convict should be uniformed in out

such manhood as may be left in his
soul.

the people of the state will be slow to
accept or act upon. There will be
found a very general distaste to jail

able and salutary: but Il line of dudes

good taste in dress.
The warden is right in abolishing
the SOLITARY" in insisting that no
prisoner shall be beaten, and in his
purpose to offer relaxation and certain
pleasures and amusements to the con-
victs. There is no occasion to make

TO the Editor Of the Sun--Sir: /
have read with much interest the var
ious letters of Mr. Goodwin Smith,
time in The Sun His communication
in The Sun of Sept. 20, particularly
impressed me. Also, 1T disappointed
me.
To destroy Is necessary, but 1t is
greater to build. Have we no builders
now? Mr.. Goodwin Smiths sincerity
Is so obvious, his earnestness so ad-
mirable that those Of us who in a
humber way are also seekers and
doubters looked TO him for some new
light, something to guide us from the
chaos of modernity into at least the
outlying regions of the orderly certain
ty of the future. Perhaps this was too
much to ask: but the leaders have
hewed us path which ends In a cul
de sac.
IF there is nothing better to offer us
than agnosticism, were it not wiser to
have left us our crucifixes and our
ikons? We are hidden put aside chill

to the world as pillar or professionalism
and father of modern democracy.
