SOCIALISM RESPECTS
RIGHTS OF PROPERTY
To he Editor Of THE TINES.

To he Editor Of THE TIMEs-
In your issue of August Is, there ap-
peared a letter in which the writer be-
walled the spread of Socialism among
college men. because of its alleged sin
lister tendency to destroy religion, the
home and the right in private prop
erty. 1t is deplorable that the errone-
ous statements Of misinformed persons
are given such wide circulation in the
public prints
The Socialist party is net one of
violence nor does it sanction VI condonc
Illegal or unlawful methods. 1t recog-
nIZes the fact that political action Is
the only means of attaining its objects,
and strives constantly to impress this
knowledge on all workers. Being strict
ly a political and economic movement
IL cannot interfere in religious affairs
There is no pronouncement of the party
to warrant the claim that II would
abolish religion, the home or the right
in private property. Rather, by giving
to the working people the full value
of the product of their toll there would
be greater opportunity for the prac-
tice of religion, for the requirement of
the necessaries of life N abundance,
and for the attainment to higher educa-
ton in the arts and sciences, resulting
in a great increase in general culture
and making for happy homes and
great and glorious country.

ing a half holiday to all Of the en-
ployes on Saturdays; and Hill said

But, Mr.. Secretary, when we remem-
Der that that branch of the Govern

terror Department has become famous
for its ability to forget things we do
not wonder at Hill's failure to recall

be regarded as an undesirable citizen

To the Editor of THE TINES:
I notice in a recent issue OF your

greatly alarmed over the menace Ot

ing condition l have noticed is the
stupendous ignorance some people have
of this subject. He makes an at
tack on socialism and then states
he loves his country and abhors the
attempt to give it over to those who
would abolish religion. He certainly
should know that socialism is a pOliti-
cal, not a religious, party, and has no
connection with religion whatever. He
Il inks socialism will break up the
homes, but so far as l car learn it has
never bI oxen up any homes. No, Mr.
Ferguson, the idea of the socialist is
not to break up homes, but to break up
conditions that break up homes. Mr..
Ferguson says Mr.. Debs has only hate
and discomfort in his heart l would
like for him to state to the readers of
The Times how he knows what Mr..
Debs has in his heart. l will also ask
Mr. Ferguson what the meaning of the
word "heresy'' is as applied to the
recall. I wish to state for the benefit
of Mr.. Ferguson and others that the
theory OF socialism is to educate the
people to the Importance of thinking
for themselves. and then let them vote
as they think best, regardless of re-

A DISGRACE TO THE KEY
STONE STATE.

Every friend of the South will feel
thankful that the latest atrocity in
the way of lynch law did not occur
in that part of the country; but every
decent citizen will feel sense of out
rage and of humiliation that such II
thing as took place at Coatesville, Pa,
could have occurred anywhere.
1t is a reflection upon the nation
that passion is permitted to find its
outlet in acts that would disgrace u
semi-civilized people. What a picture
we present to the civilized world when
in a settled community, in one of the
richest and most populous of the
States, a wretch under suspicion of
crime is dragged from a hospital and
burned at the stake in sight of a
crowd of wildly exulting people! The
description of the mob dragging the
negro about from place to place, firing
the cot on which he was tied, and then
beating the man with sticks, pushing
him back into the flames from which
he sought to escape is almost too hor-
rible for belief.
To say that any people can permit
this sort of barbarism without breed
ing contempt for law that will make
its evil influence felt in hundred diff
ferent directions is to close our eyes
to facts that are too patent for argu-
ment. The least that will be expected
of the authorities of Pennsylvania is
that they will set an example to the
rest of the country of how such vicious
outbreaks should be dealt with.
