by an edict Of the Legislature or the
decree Of a governor. They are evils
that must be dealt with patiently as
best we can, hoping that through the
slow evolution Of the years they will
gradually become less Of burden
to the world.
The socialist is dreaming a beauti-
full dream of abolishing poverty and
all manner OF wretchedness and In
equality in the world by a great
revolutionary movement, All we
have to do to get rid Of every evil
that flesh is heir to, If we may be-
lieve him, is to do away with the ex-
perience of the ages, is to abolish
every institution which has been the
outgrowth of civilization, is to get
rid Of private property, Of rent, Of
interest, and of profits, is to turn
every tool Of production and COM
MERGE over to the government and
to work complete revolution in the
economic organization of the world.
1t is perhaps, not surprising that this
program has attracted SO many peo-
pie whose hearts are oppressed by
the spectacle Of human suffering and
nv the tremendous extremes of in
equality that exist between class and
class and individual and individual.
But the socialist must show to
the world that his program Is some
thing more than beautiful dream,
that it is practicable, that 1t would
do away with the evils of the present
system without creating others that
would be worse than they. that 1t
would establish closer equapttz
of condition without creating at the
same time an oppressive political
despotism, and that all that would
be gained to the world by the aboli-
ton Of interest and profits would not
be lost by reason Of the increasing
inefficiency resulting from the abb
sence Of that ambition which under
the competitive system is the main
spring of enterprise. industry and
thrift.

involve any weakening of morality, as
the friends of the Bible maintain.
So far as it is not history or poetry,
but guide to life, 1t has long since
been absorbed past the stage of YER
bal familiarity. The broad, simple
rules of conduct laid down have be-
come the unconscious substratum Of
western thought. If they are not fol-
lowed today as closely as we might
wish, 1t is not because many OF the
situations to which they are to be
applied are strange, and not yet
clearly analysed. 1stih's terrific in
dictment of large landowners hardly
helps one in solving the distribution
of government acreage; nor do the
fairest exhortations to brotherly
love assist materially in the vexed
matter of railway rates. Doubtless,
the Bible has been fastened to the
reference library with all the greater
speed because moral issues themsel-
YES have passed into the card index
and filing cabinet by reason OF their
enormous completely. Would a
Jonah warn a modern Ninevah to re-
pent, he must first find a Bureau OF
Municipal Research; and, after the
latter gets down to work, his sermons
will probably be forgotten. il the
friends of the Bible will but see that
the book is an Inspiration, not a
formula; that its inspiraislature may
be the discussion Of the Senatorial
succession has done good. 1t has
brought out the fact that the people
are in no mind to see the Taft and
Hughes victory in this state "tapered
down to Tim" or any other Senator
;al nonentity. New York has lain
down with increditable docility under
lbe reproach Of having Plat and De-
new IN the Senate. But the signs are
bright now that she will insist upon
having a Senator who can hold his
head up among his fellows, and en-
able her to held her head mp among

THE DREAM OF SOCIALISM.

THE DltBhM We DV~ANAIA0NAs
Socialists charge that poverty,
wretchedness, and the filth Of the
sIums are products Of the competitive
system, and they argue that poverty
and the wretchedness Of the slums
can be abolished only by doing away
with the competitive system and by
establishing socialism.
They allege that persons who do
not accept socialism are hardening
their hearts to the sufEerings pf
"groaning humanity" In the debate
on socialism which was held some
months ago befo5e the Economic
Club of New York, a spokesman OF
the radical socialists declared that
ON one side of New York could be
found the multimillionaire with an
annual income sufficient to support
tens of thousands of people in COM
fort and on the other side Of the town
were hundreds Of thousands OF peo-
pie living in sQualor, filth and dis
ease, and he held up this fact as
proving his contention that the COM
petitive system was the cause, and
that the only way to get rid OF such
extremes of conditions was to estab-
lish socialism.
Now 1t does not necessarily follow
that because a person opposes social
ism he has hardened his heart
against suffering, extreme poverty
and disease. 1t does not necessarily
follow that he does not recognize
the seriousness Of the problems of the
"submerged tenth" and that he
does not favor progressive measures
for the relief of grooming human
ity." On the contrary, there has
never been so much thought, per-
sonal service and money given tor
the relief of the poor, the sick and
tina incompetent in life, as there
has been in the last one hundred
wears of a most wonderful develop
ment of the modern organization OF
business under the individualist ord
or.
It cannot be denied that the slums
are a blot upon civilization. But 1t
cannot be denied also that civilized
people are anxiously and courage
ously graphing with the problem
Year by year more and more is done
to make the lives Of the toiling
masses more endurable. Nope is
done for sanitation, for health for
light for schools, for amusement for
breathing places and for moral up
lift. More and more the rich are
being impressed with the sense Oh
their responsibility for the RELIEF OF
those weaker and less competent than
themselves.
It does not follow that because
the slums exist in the midst OF our
civilization that our civilization Is
essentially wrong. 1t does not fol-
low that because proverty exists I'M
der our competitive system that com
petition is all wrong. As well charge
that the Almighty is responsible fol
the existence Of sin in the world al
to charge the modern economic or
ganization with the existence Of
many evils and abuses inevitable II
world made up of imperfect and
unequally endowed persons.
Poverty is something that CANNOT
be wholly abolished; 1t must be re-
lieved. The poor are always with ui
and we must deal with them the
best we can. Incompetency, shift
lessness, laziness, lack Of ambition
and lack Of thrift cannot be abolished
