JESUS, SOCIALISM AND THE
CHURCH.
Editor Majority

Editor Majority
Jesus. seeing the fierce struggle for
existence, how hard mankind made it
for each other, how they were de-
pendent upon and subject to a master
class, and that individual accumula-
ton of property ensuing from competi-
ton the result of selfishness and cove
tuousness, was the cause thereof, inn
provised, with his equality philosophy,
social society to make it easier for
them; This he called, the Kingdom of
God, because like the Father, the SUI
preme object was the good of all, and
not that of a few. This system was
destroyed by capitalistic Christians, by
their becoming covetuous and losing
sight of the God idea, the good of the
whole idea, instead of the individual
accumulation Of money and property"
which Jesus condemned as an evil.
The church has insisted upon
charity to relieve the miseries arising
from the struggle for existence, but
never have asper the teachings and
example of Jesus, organized a system
of economic production in relief there
of. They never gave any attention to
making conditions easier for the work
ers, because they were and are in
captivity to capitalism and disregard
the teachings of Jesus. Jesus did not
teach that the accumulation of prop
erty was virtue, but that the cooper
alive living of men together as
brethren which indeed is a virtue.
The uniform pronouncement is that
-Socialism-is not practical, is
against the accumulation of property,
the supreme thought of the day. If
the accumulation of property is the
sole test of practicability. then it is
not practical, will grant, but should
lit be the equal enjoyment and blessing
of all Gods creatures, based upon the
principle of equal love, then, it is very
impracticable; for the present, indivi-
dual system entirely defeats it. If
to do wrong be covetuous, selfish, and
wicked, then individualism is the thing
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1910-12-29

and collectivism. the organized express
sion of righteousness is to be con-
demned. Individual accumulation is
not evidence of a God-like man.
( All the teachings of Jesus and his
apostles bore reference to his Com
munistic organization, and must be SO
interpreted. The three basic rules Of
said organization were, having food
and rainment, Herewith be content,
and che that will otn work neither
shall be eat" and the prohibition of
Individual accumulation-Lay up not
treasures upon earth-the evil at the
bottom of the whole social fabric, and
for which the only remedy therefore
is righteousness which will express it
self in collectivism as opposed to in
dividualism. Jesus was opposed to the
accumulation of property and forbid
all his. followers to do the same, teach
ing them to let every day provide for
itself and that more than this was Gull
tivating the evil principle.
The system of Jesus against the ac-
emulation of property-laying up trea
|sury on earth, has been completely
prostituted and repudiated by the
church. The church having repudiat-
ed these three tenets of Jesus teach
ing can lay no claim to being his fol-
lowers. They are the disciples of
Mammon. Christianity was intended
to be an institution in which competi-
ton and the accumulation of property
did not exist; yet the richest men of
the nation are it's flattered and courted
members, and they endorse the COM
petition system that makes the accu-
mualtion of property and the impover-
ishment of the masses possible, the in
centive of the accumulation of prop
erty is love of money. Oh, what about
the parable Of the talents? The accu-
mutation of money was there used to
illustrate the virtue of distribution
based upon love of neighbor and God,
who loves all and not few, as the
only virtue, and which must be the
virtues of those composing the King
dom of God. ]. w. NEEL,

By George 3. Foster

professor at the University of
Chicage.)
AS we all know, low estimate was
placed upon manual work and workers
in ancient times.
This was changed somewhat for the
better in the middle ages, though
knights held that it was more honor
able for them to ''hold up travelling
tradesmen than to earn a living by the
swear of their brow.
In our day, still there are those,
especially among women, who feel
that work is humiliating, who even
hide their work from the public, If
they must labor, SO that their pride
may not be hurt.
Still, in our day, the divine principle
that work is honorable and that the
laborer is worthy of his hire is in
creasingly recognized.
Our problem is not this, so much as
it is HOW. MUCH ought labor to re-
ceive.
SHOULD LABOR BE PAID AS
MUCH AS POSSIBLE OR AS LITTLE
AS POSSIBLE.
With that question we are in the
thick of the fight between capital and
labor today.
The fight is inevitable.
Four men in our age are Tree to ap-
praise the value of their work and to
tell their employers what they think
the value is.
In other ages this was not SO.
Today the labor has the right OF con-
tract.
And he has the right to use this
right collectively as well as individuai-
ly.
The collective capitalistic effort to
fix the price of labor makes it impera-

Hampton S and
Los Angeles
(By James M. Lynch.)

That is a great story in the Janu-
AIRY Hamnton's, the Los Angeles stofy.
Great in its peculiar association Of
fact and fancy, of fiction and truth, of
surmise and reality. OF course, a
story must be made to read" 1t is
up to the author to supply that quality,
otherwise the story will not sell, and
Hamptons author sold his story. So
much for merchandising in literature.
Tho those who know Los Angeles,
who through long years of patient eff
fort, have assisted in building up the
trade union movement in that city,
who have accepted as incidents OF the
battle all of the Otis mud and SANDER,
to those who have seen trade unionism
grow and prosper in Los Angeles In
spite of Otis, the typographical union,
for instance, which is Otis chief
abomination, from 125 to 375 members,
to those who realize and have felt
the terrible power and utter ruthless
ness of Otis and his satellites, such as
these are able to separate the literary
chaff from the literary wheat, and for
them the Hampton's article makes
good reading. They know the facts,
and knowing the facts, they can read,
analyze and digest. 1t all spells again
the fact that fair dealing with labor
makes for Industrial peace.
And they know tht Otis and his pro
fit-greedy. union-hating campatriots
will open wide their purses in the at
tempt to find something, somebody,
anything, to show that gas did not
wreck the Times plant. Gas is the
Otis nightmare.

The County
Program of
the Socialist
(By Carl D. Thompson.)

+ On the first of the coming January
the Socialists will assume control Of
the county government of Milwaukee
County.
Having charge of all of the county
offices, together with majority of the
County Board, they will be in com
plete control. The onyl limitation
then will be the state laws and con-
stitutional provisions. It is under
stood, of course, that within these
Limitations there is considerable lati-
tude in which the Socialits reforms
may be carried forward. The program
has been pretty thoroughly outlined by
Wilfred label, the Socialist District
FAttorney-elect.
Among the measures proposed, the
following are some Of the most import
ant ones:
1. Immediate atcion to be taken to-
wards the unification Of city and coun-
ty governments.
2. The calling of grand jury to
investigate alleged cases of graft in
the county and city administrations.
8. A law uniting the police depart
ment and the sheriffs Office with a
single constabulary throughout the en-
tire county.
A. Joint county jail and police sta
ton in one building.
\~5. A law making it a penal offense
to use county stationary for political
purposes, it being alleged that candi-
dates for reelection use county stamps
paper and envelopes.
6. Civil service for assistants in
county offices.
Z. Reduction of the County Treas
urer's salary from $1,000 to. $4,000 a
year, the county board to legislate the
number of assistants and their
salaries.
8. Establishment Of separate and
distinct juvenile court.
9. Outdoor bodily exercise daily for
county Jail prisoners.
II. The establishment Of public
printery. This is to be done in CO.
operation with the city.
IL. Abolition of fees in the Coro-
ner's Office and the substitution of
salary therefor.
10. Abolition of fee in connection
with the Register of Deeds Office.
IA. Changes in abandonment laws
whereby convicted husbands may be
made to work and their wages turned
over to their families.
With the city and county govern
ments both in control of the Socialists
operate as far as state laws will per
init in carrying out the general pro-
gram Of public ownership. Many of
the measures will require state legisla-
ton, and to that end strong commit
tees will be sent to the state legisla-

of his hire which, other things being
equal would give him nouirshment,

Laborers today, in some instances
and it would seem that the garment
workers are among such-are paid
too much for them to die and too little
for them to live.
Not to the individual alone, but to
capital and society ought the COM
mandment to come home:
Thou shalt not kill.
No capitalist deserves the respect
and protection of his fellow men. if he
does not Internationally honor the fun
damental principle that his business is
for the sake of man and not man for
the sake of his business.
And society has no right to allow the
capitalist to force it to have completely

when the wage is not equal to provid-
ling means for the normal restoration
of the strength and health and happi-
ness which are consumed in the @Song
