THE PARLoR SOCIALIST,

meeClnS OF parlOr SOCIALISTS III
New York the other evening was rude
ly disturbed when Herman Robinson,
a labor organizer, took advantage of
the free speech supposed to charac-
terize these meetings to voice few
plain thoughts. The incident has at
tracted attention because President
Roosevelt, on hearing of it, invited
Robinson to the White House to con-
graduate him on his frankness and
nerve.
Robinson, who frankly admits him
self to be one of the "downtrodden
mass whose salvation these high
browed reformers are seeking to work
out, makes it plain that in his mind
his fellow citizens who go to make up
the masses" are not crying for the
aid of the parlor socialists in hasten
ing the millennium. 1t is better to put
down what Robinson thinks of them
and their plans, however, in his own
words, for they hew straight to the
line, though the chips cut may be
rough. He says:
"These windjammers, these nice fell
lows with their big black bow ties and
ladylike getup. don't see how any
man with horse sense can stand for
the brand of hot air they hand out.
Lots of them know better. They're
educated men. But they get in a
crowd of new citizens and preach dis
content and even violence, and If
there's better way to plant trouble

cit seems a joke to some people,
something to laugh about and josh

what influence these college bred agi-
selves with coin. have on raw i'm
migrants trying to grab the price of
three meals a day. 1t ought to be
stopped, because If they are permitted
to preach there'll be trouble sure
enough some day.
| These parlor socialists go ram.
ming around and knocking. II they'd
work more and talk less guess the
republic would work out its own sal
vation.'
Mr.. Robinson's thought is clearly
expressed even if he does show just
little of disregard for the niceties
of speech. 1t is Just as Mr.. Robinson
says. The rantings of these high
brows do not make an appreciable
dent in the intellect of thinking per.
son who knows their kind and can give
the proper weight to their views. But
on the raw Immigrant trying to grab
the price of three meals day" it is
undoubtedly different. The attempt
on the life of Chief Shippy of Chicago
by Averbuch, and the more serious
bomb outrage in New York by Silver
stein, which was aimed at the murder
Of scores Of police, gives proof that on
some weak minds the preachings OF
the parlor socialists make an impress
sion
Mr. Robinson should stand up after
the President has congratulated him
and give few more Of us chance tc
shake his hand for giving the high
broWs something to think about.

Suppose that is true. OF whom is
business for? And the grocer? The
hetelkeeper, and everybody, including
the preacher? The love of gain lies
back Of every human enterprise, and
the man who doSs not possess it is
knet above. but below, any good stand
ard OF worth. The heneBt acquisition
Of wealth is one Of the highest proofs
of mental excellency.
There are two things that deserve
serious attention. The one is this:
1t is perilous to authorize any human
government to supervise the habits of
its individual subjects or citizens. It
matters not whether We call the gov.
ernmen a republic or an autocracy.
The essence of tyranny is always the
same, and consists in suspending the
right Of the individuals to regulate
his own conduct, his own belief, his
own religion. Man has suffered in
1nftely more from too much govern
ment, from too much authority, than
from too little. Governments are as
prone to do wrong, to overstep their
just limits as the individuals are. This
is one great truth and has a vital
bearing upon this question The other
is this that the welfare of society de-
mands not the unwelcome prohibit
ton, but scientific and rational regu-
lation Of the business It is the duty
Of the patriotic citizens to observe
this truth and stand for it, and to re-
main unmoved by the turbulent re-
form whose motive may be right, but
whose method is wrong.
To abstain or not abstain from
using alcoholic beverages is the right

A Little Analogy.

The supreme court, in the

a proposition which, il applied

a violation of the federal con.
stitutiou, the officer, in pro-
ceeding under such enactment,
comes into conflict with the gu.
