the rank and file of the people know
about socialism the more eager they
are for it. Sometimes think we let
our zeal overrun our judgement and
| become too anxious about winning
elections. Winning towns, cities and
counties | fear is not for the best be-
cause the things socialism stands for is
for the best and cannot be brought
about without a change in the consti-
tuition and law. Then the failure is
charged up to socialism, and word goes
forth 81 told you so. So l am not
one of these kind of Socialists that
hollers myself hoarse over victories

system cannot do much OF give full re-
suits, although | do smile when a vic
tory is reported A good healthy So
cialist sentiment is preferable to a vic
tory just now to my notion. / notice
harmonize Tennessee democrats will
prove futile as long as prohibition or
prohibition is made the issue.
Does Mrs. Grundy expect the people to
surrender their principles to get to act
with party without a principleS The
democratic party at this time is with
out a principle, and if she has one no
man knows what it is Asking people
to surrender principle requires a
good deal of gall. But that is not hard
for men to do who have been trained
to name instead of a principle.
Croker don't like Woodrow Wilson be-
cause he has a code of principles and
has had the courage to let the people
know it, Men with principles are not
going to be nominated in either of the
old parties. See if they do. Taft and
Clark will be the nominees because
the majority are used to voting blind
tickets and for blank principles. So
the dear people will reap no benefits
as usual while the bosses have a good
time.

Socialism Not the Remedy.

Editor News:
I've been reading a number of arti
cles on Socialism in your paper of late
| also an article from "Wild West
against the socialist plan. I rathe
agree with "Wld Vest, that as fal
as "Uncle Tom and Brannan have
gone with their arguments don't SET
anything to induce man to become a
socialist
We know il the government bough
all the wealth of the country, thai
would not relieve the situation any, al
the men who hold the great wealth Of
the country if bought out would still
have the money, SO as "WIld West
says the only way to do is to conts
cate the wealth of''the country aud lei
the government take charge and deal
it out to the people. We all know
what this confscation proposition will
be, and so do our socialist friends.
They are not too dull to realize that.
This country needs not fear social
ism, as it will only be thing of the
past in few more years. 1t only has
to be tried little further and it will
all be off
If you will allow me little space
in your columns, l will give you my
plan of getting this country in con
dition so the poor man can live and be
independent, and it is the only way
for the government to get in posses
sion of the wealth of this country and
get it legitimately.
This is to establish government
banks all over the country and if there
is any money to be lent, let the gov
ernment do the lending at a very
small tate of, interest, say 3 per cent.
and cut out the banks of the country
from lending money, or in other words
stop men from just making living off
of money. If man is lucky enough
to get lot of money ahead, don't al
low him to put this money out on@ bin
terest and get a living in that way,
but have him invest it in some kind of
enterprise or in real estate so he will
have to work the proceeds Of his mon
ey instead Of the money. BY SO doing
he will be forced to give others en-
ployment. The great trouble with our
country now is we have too many peo-
pie living off of money, when it ought
to be the government.
/ will not go further in my plan at
this time, but will wait and see if
this misses the waste basket. Much
success to the News. am,
