Sorrow" Continued

Editor Review: You ask: "Isn't Il
fact that socialism proposes TO render the
wealth OF monied men valuelessl"
II Is not a fact. Socialism proposes
government ownership OF public utilities
in the interest OF the workers; with a
more close peoples ownership OF gov
ernment by means OF initiative, referen'
dun. recall, etc. lust this and nothing
more. II you would only stick to this
idea and forget such absurdities as "di-
viding up" working for board and
clothes, !" "chanee TO Loaf" etc, AL nau'
scum. There will doubtless be depreei'
alton in the value OF independent capital
ia SO far as labor is relieved from the
thrall OF its bondage, To be sure the
people will have Il In their power TO
even eon6seate that which has been rob
bed from them in the past, so II you are
afraid OF what the majority will do when
they have the right of direct control, get
out your candidate for king and don't
mention democracy.
Socialism is pure democracy, political
and industrial. So your next question
is-does democracy level up or DOWN
Answer for yourself.
"Under socialism could a mau aceumu-
late could he own enough
ground TO build homer II SO
how would it differ from the present
systeml"
His best accumulation would be his
equal share of the public capital, which
guarantees his old age pension. Never
theless, he could own house and
grounds, an auto, yacht, an air ship or
anything else he could use. He might
accumulate all he was able OF the me
dium of exchange. But-here Is the dit
ference from the present system-he
could not invest those aceumlatlons as
cauital to control any industry. He
could not gamble and manipulate the
stocks and bonds of the industries, he
could not monopolize the product OF any
industry. For, our Uncle Samuel would
be in control of all those things, furnish
ing goods at cost, and Mr.. Would-be-
capitalist could no more compete with
him than the Review can on printed
envelopes. And he hasn't half tried
to 20 into the printing business, either
You think he is bad manager and in
the next sentence admit that he has the
Job printers all skinned to frazzle'
He does business on large scale and
don't have to advertise. Why should
he not furnish himself 1.-THE people) with
envelopes and anything-yes' everything
else, at COST confess IL is hardly fair
for Uncle to 90 into printing unless he
takes up other lines as we'll. should
be most happy to have him build hos
pitfalls and undertake the care OF the sick
at cost, lit will never be done half right
until he does) il he will furnish clothing
and groceries ON the same plan.

assumed control Of enough OF the pro-
duetive industries to give every man an
opportunity TO work and have a jus,
share In the product. The individual
soldier is not enjoying socialism any
more than the postal employee, Their
pay Is determined by eapitalistic sur
roundings. II is barely enough TO at
tract a sufficient number from other EN-.
ployes. Vet each Of these departments,
though conducted decidedly not accord
ing to soeialistie ideals, nevertheless
shows the indispulable advantage Of the
cooperative method. To return to COM
petition In those lines is simply un-
thinkable.
But what gets" me is where you get
the idea that socialism promises only
enough to eat and wear Socialism
promises TO each the full proiuet Of his
effort. And with all energy applied di.
rectly to production and none wasted In
competition the total production will be
increased many fold, and We shall have
necessities, conyenienees aud pleasures
for all, such as are no more dreamed OF
today than the glories of civilization
were dreamed of when savages were
wasting their energies in individual
combat.
"The desire for gain is paramount in
the human breast" Certainly And
everything in the present age tends TO
show the gain Of working with our fell
lows instead Of working against them.
II is the hope of this great gain that
prompts the socialist to deeds Of daring,
such as this efort-and others.
"If in the distribution OF the fat of the
land all men should share
alike"
For the 'steen hundredth time want
to say that socialism proposes no dis
tribution whatever of the fat of the
land and no equal distribution OF any
thing. But a just distribution of the
products of labor.
All you conservative fellows will have
vote on the schedule of wages for the
different occupations. II you, the ma
jority, wish to grant to some fellow a
big income on account of something his
great-grandfather did, OF good looks, or
gambling propensities, as you do now
when you haven't vote on the question,
it will be up to you.
"Why should the ignorant, indolent,
slothful and proAigate receive the same
as the intelligent, active, energetic and
frugal workerl"
Why should he, indeedl Why should
ne receive even more as some OF the
most slothful, indolent, prohigate and
ignorant las to anything useful) do now
receive millions. And why should ac-
tive, energetic rascals receive more mil
lionsl Why not encourage useful activ-
ity and discourage every form of gam
bling, speculating, and all kinds Of
activity which is directed toward getting
samethiug which someone else has pro-
duced.

The doctors Interpretation Of social
ism differs materially from the theory Of
most socialists. The generally accepted
idea is that the government shall own
all the land aud property, aud gold aud
silver as a medium Of exchange shall be
abandoned. From the doctors remarks
We gather that he is more OF Populist
than Socialist
We must confess that our language
has been rather crude TO a cultured
mind. We should have stated the gov
ernment would provide raiment aud the
necessities of life and more time for
leisure than now Obtains in exchange
for little manly service. with AN equal
share of the public spoils guaranteed.
II really does sound better clothed in
this language.
The doctor states that II is not fact
that the wealth Of the rich will be rem
dered valueless, yet the people will have
power to eonfscate. We gather from
this that the wealth will be garnered up
in jack pot and turned over to the gov
ernment. He denies that there will be
any dividing up" yet states mans
"BEST accumulation would be his equal
share of the public capital" How
would he get his share without division
of the spoilsl A share cannot be his un-
til he gets il. Again, il this is his best
accumulation" how could he own a
house and lot, yacht, or air shipl We
would consider these things our best ae-
cumulation, but surely there is not
enough wealth in the world to provide
all with these luxuries. II he was able
to accumulate more than his neighbor
how would the shares be equAp
Socialism is pure democracy" Our
dictionary tells us that democracy is that

theory Of social organization aiming at the
abolition Of individual action. Democracy
promotes individual action - socialism
abolishes it. Yet the doctor says they are
synonymous

In his comprehensive book on We
hicles of the air Victor Lougheed, en-
gineer and student Of aviation, enl-
phasizes a few points on the relation
of the aeroplane to warfare that serve
to bring out his notion that the day
is not far off when the expenditure
of millions for dreadnaught battle
ships will be unknown.
The engineer believe many things
are possible with the aeroplane and
compares the aviator dropping de-
struvtive shells into the vulnerable
works of modern battleship from
his aerial position to bringing down
ducks with little shotgun.
If one aeroplane at cost of, say,
$500, does not destroy battleship,"
says Mr.. Lougheed, why, so or 100
might do the work. The West Point
