CONTENTIOUS OF SOCIALISTS
Professor Emerson Says They Are
Admitting with Compiarenry the
Coming of the Ends They Seek.

At the College street Church Sunday
Professor Emerson continued his series OF
talks on socialism. The general topic OF
this lecture was socialism and the con
tentiOns of socialists they exist to-day.
The speaker dwelt particularly on the ar
raignments of the present system made
by socialists, touched upon Karl Marx
and said a word of the faith which in
spires socialists to wait for the coming
If the ends they seek as the outgrowth
Of inevitable economic forces.
Socia lists accuse the present state of
society of a monopolistic eXclusiveness by
which the many are being constantly
crowded into the great laborng class
and made the tools OF the few. The great
means by which,. according to their
claims. this exclusion is brought about is
the possession of the markets by the few
The possession Of great masses Of capital
and so of the markets by the few enables
them to make it difficult for the outsider
10 attain anything like equal influence,
and yet retain his separateness from
them Either he fails altogether or else
succeeds at the cost of being merged in
the depressing class. either by operation
of the laws framed by the burgher class
OF by ties Of common interest.
Socialists contend that the church is
in the hands Of the burgher class. that
Protestant churches especially are so
conducted as TO interest and minister to
members of this class and to freeze out
members of the other class. They repre-
sent the laborers as being excluded from
the religious bodies and hold up socialism
TO them with n kind of evangeistic fervor
the great hopeful inclusive religion.
They likewise express strong antag-
onlsm to schools and colleges as they cN-
list at present. They claim that these in
situations are feeders for the existing or
der, in that they ut men not for lives OF
broad service but for lives OF climbing and
suppression of others
Professor Emerson then touched upoi,
Karl Marx He road one passage tend
ing TO show the limitations OF the man as
a thinker.
These limitations were chiefly evidenc-
ed by seductive habit OF stating In
philosophically sounding language shall
low truths. He read another passage cal
culated To give the MARKHAM point Cl
view. and went on to explain how many
of Marks arrangements of the then eX-
sting order were based on abuses since
abated In MARKS time labor was liter
ally exploited. No laws protecting the
laboring man existed. There We're no laws
limiting hours ~ employment. or en-
ployment OF child or female labor.
In closing, the speaker told of the
singular faith with which socialists await
the coming of their order. By thei,
theory socialism need not be fought for
hut merely waited for They watch with
great satisfaction the growth OF tn.
trusts. and the extension of the princi.
Pile of government ownership as well
as reEulative action on the part OF the
government.
