". c. HANCOCK.
Above are two communications re-
ceiyed last week too late for publica-
tion. There was nothing in the item
as published relative to the socialist
speaking to which any man of common
sense could take offense. nor was offense
intended, as it is the inalienable right of
every man to his opinion on any SUBJ
1 ject social. religious, political or other
wise. 1t seems, however, that umbrage
/ has been taken, which accounts for the
acrimonious flow of words.
Mr.. Parks is evidently tender over
/ the statement made that there are about
as many kinds of socialists as brands of
breakfast foods. If that statement
needed veriication it is not necessary
to 90 any further than the communica-
tions above. One is penned by man
with the instincts of gentleman, with
an ideal that he wishes to see applied
as remedy for the ills of the body
polite. The other is the ramblings of
BLACKBOARD, who, if he had the cour-
age of his inclinations, would be throw
ing bombs. Mr.. Parks admits that
socialists have different ideas as to how
to reach the fundamental principles of
socialism, which is a plain admission
that there are different kinds of social
lists. Hancock is one who has different
ideas from those of Mr.. Parks. if he
can be accused of having any ideas at
all. What little can be made out of
his statements conveys the impression
that he endorses the position of the
brutal savages who believe in murder
to accomplish their ends, and such have
no place amoug men endowed with a
single atom of mans humanity to man.
God knows there is too much inhuman-
ity among all class, but the evils that
men suffer can, and will, be reinidied
without resort to the torch and the
bludgeon. Mr.. Parks, and men who
consider socialism from his standpoint.
are no doubt earnest in his desire for
the betterment of the condition of all
men, as is every individual with drop
of the milk of human kindness in his
! veins, but the Parkses are a L.eagre
minority as compared with the Han
cocks in the ranks, and having the
whip hand would use their power, if
socialism was triumphant, as did their
prototypes during the French revolu-
| ton.
! There may be some doubt as to what
Hancock is trying to get at, but the
| pith of the screed is abuse heaped upon
/ the professor" 1t is the resort of
a vulgar, narrow. contemplate mind
without power of reasoning and de-
pendent upon billingsgate for express
sion. 1t is fair to say that the PRO
fessor' owes Hancock an explanation
for publishing his communication as it
was writ. The entire office force was
unable to make out the drift of the
document, and hence did not know how
to go about correcting it. Fearing the
author would set up howl that this
office had changed his manuscript if
