of the human mind.

conservatism of the human mind.
1t Is a feature of the average hui
man beings mental makeup that he
hangs to the old like grim death and
wards off the new.
This attitude of mind is called con-
servatism.
Conservatism is the great enemy of
progress.
All the progress the human race
has ever made has been made by
the radicals. And it has been made
In spite of the constant and bitter
opposition Of the conservatives.
The conservatives always pull back.
They always attempt to prevent the
human race from making progress. i
The radicals always push forward.
They are always advancing to a new
stage of progress.
Old adages are frequently lies.
But we radicals accept this one: "Test
all things, and hold fast that which
is good"
We. do test all things.
And we do hold fast that which is
good. !
But we do not hold fast anything:
except what is good.
Ine pad and the worn out we throw:
away.
And we try to replace them with
something better.
1t is true that the conservatives
sometimes assist the radicals in pre-
serving the good. The difference be-
tween them in that respect is in their
motives. The radicals preserve the
good because 1t Is good. When the
conservatives preserve the good, they
preserve It because it is old and has
passed into habit, or second nature
as some people call it. So, when the
conservatives preserve the good. they
DO not deserve any credit, because
their motive is a. low one, and be-
cause the good would be preserved
by the radicals anyhow and with the
best Of motives. ..>
We Socialists have the task Of bat
tering down the economic conserva-
tism in the minds of the people. But,
I'll discuss that in my next.

ARE AMERICAN PEOPLE
RIPE FOR SOCIALISM?
John M. Works Believes Indus

of People Are Laggard.-
Holds Conservatism Responsible,
Need for More Radical Ac-
ton to Produce Results.
BY John M. Work.

AS I pointed out in my last arti-
Gle. the industries are now dead ripe
for Socialism, but the minds Of the
people are not.
The minds of the people have not
developed as fast as the industries
have developed. They have come
trailing along behind.
The minds of majority Of the
people are all the way from five to
rs years behind the times on econo-
mic questions. They lack at least
that much of keeping pace with in
dustrial development.
It is our province to educate the
minds of the people along this par
ticular line until they get up to the
times. The reason we have not de-
veloped as fast as the Industries nave
developed Is because of the innate
