HOW SOCIALISM WOULD
WORK In PRACTICE

Uditor OF THE EVENING JOURNAL.
IL YOU win grant me room in your val
liable columns / would like 10 reply to
your editorial OF June 9Th regarding the
application Of socialism TO Wilmington.
In the article your main contention is
that there is not enough Intelligence in a
body Of men similar TO city council to
rum the business Of the city successfully.
and that on just this point the Socialist
idea fails. To begin with the Socialists
cannot be blamed for this lack of intelli-
eence never having had the control Of the
country the Democratic and Republican
parties have. A conclusion can be drawn
from this.
ifit is the idea Of the Socialists 10 have
the industries Of the city run by few
politicians selected at random as at pres
emit. the Socialist party would and should
deserve TO fail But your article brings out
the strongest argument for Socialism in
asmuch as it proves that It dixie most
other arguments against Sociaiism) tries
TO prove the falacy Of Socialist ideas
without understanding what they really
are.
II the voters Of Wilmington were offered
an opportunity 10 elect heads of industries
to direct each separate kind Of industry
and 10 elect a governing body over those
heads. is It not certainty that they would
prefer to have men capable and familiar
with the industries AZ this selection af-
fects their bread and butter would they
not pay more attention 20 such election OF
heads than at present they do to the
present city office elections? Is IL not like
Is they will select the heads, assistants.
and an the executive forces from among
the present, capable corps Of directors Of
Industries?
Under our present system the selection
OF our governing body is left 10 the dis
position Of an inner circle OF politicians
many OF whom have taxes 70 grind" Our
present city directors each have their own
race for profits TO make OF a living to
make and can devote only their spare time
to the government Of the city.
The Socialists propose 10 run The city

ent running Milwaukee. 10 which even

rectors In their present positions what l.
the idea Of a changer
First. Simply that the profits revert to
the benefit OF us an instead Of going IN the
pockets Of few already wealthy and
right here let me stale that the Socialists
do not believe In dividing up. as many
would be ieve. But 20 so into this would
take too much room. and explanation Of
this question can be found In any Socialist
literature. What would you call the divi-
sion Of dividends but dividing up. Il Is the
capitalists who believe in dividing among
themselves money never earned by most
~ them. not the Socialists, who do not
want the paltry S36 representing the equal
division Of wealth Of the country. The So
cialsts want the world, time for cultiva-
ton. education. and wealth for the lux
uries our present stage Of civilization Of
Ter us.
Second. Socialism is the only possibility
of cooperation In our industries and by
corporation only can we arrive at the
simplest sanest and Cas proved by the
trusts most economical method OF distri-
button. Under the present system NE have
20 choose between taking advantage OF the
economic system to live on other people
or have them take advantage of Il TO live
or ms. We have TO climb on their backs as
the only way Of preventing them from
climbing on ours. We have the alternative
Of prohting by an unjust system or being
its victim. and as there Is no more moral
satisfaction I'm the one alternative than in
the other we naturally prefer the first and
as we cannot all climb the highest the
mass are trodden down 70 ignorance and
forced to slave for the balance OF their
lives without receiving the small Injuries
which make life worth while.
The question OF Socialism is indeed a
large one and never in the history Of the
world will there be such heated debates
and political gatherings as We may ex-
pect to see with the growing Of the party
20 the size OF a competitive party against
the party in power. So rather than ask for

your attention to the fact that even under

NOTES.

Rev. H. F. Smith held his last quar-
terly conference for this conference
year Saturday and Sunday. The re-
ports were all very gratifying and up
to the standard. Rev. Smith was
very much impressed by them and
promised to use his influence to in
duce conference to give this place fl
nancial aid in rebuilding the church.
At the last the church at this place
vas given 1925 for building purposes
The off cers of the church found that
this sum and what they could raise
s not sufficient for them to make
much progress toward building.
The progress that the Baptists have
made in rebuilding their church to-
gether with other circumstances have
caused the A. M. Els to put on their
building clothes and no doubt the
close of next conference year will
find the church, if not completed near
ing its closing mark.
The presiding elder was paid in full
and he promised to send, if not the
same man, one equally as strong, both
in the ability as a pastor and as a
church builder.
