ional Socialist platform to the effect
that Socialism did not interfere in re-
ligion, is not true, and in support Of
his argument he read copiously from
the debates in the convention in which
that "plank" was adopted, showing
that the many speakers on the subject
in the convention not only despised
and repudiated Christianity and re-
vealed religion but admitted that the
plank on the attitude of Socialism to-
ward religion was adopted for the sole
purpose of capturing votes for the So
eialist party from people who would
strenuously object to Socialism if they
understood that it was antagonistic to
the principles Of their religion; and
that one Of its tenets is to first in
duce such people to join the Socialist
local. after which it is claimed they
can be more easily approached in or
der to win them from the church.
Whatever our belief may be, it is well
to know whether they are founded on
correct principles or not, as much good
must follow from discussion of these
great subjects that so interest the hu-
man race by such men as Mr.. Gold
stein. He speaks tonight on the rela-
tionship of Socialism to family life,
and especially as it bears upon the
question OF free love.

does not seem to be working out well.

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY AND RE
FORM.

The difference between saying and
doing was plainly shown when the
Democratic House OF Congress took up
the consideration Of the appropriation
bills few days ago. In caucus the
Democrats resolved to practice econ
omy and reduce expenditures on clerk
hire and everything else. but when the
matter came up in the House they add
ed increased clerk hire enough to more
than wipe out she reductions they had
''resolved'' and increased instead Of
decreasing these appropriations.
They also made determined attack
upon civil service by inserting the
heartless provision in one Of the bills
tina: all government employees over s.
