Y HAVE received a letter from an
intelligent man who is evidently
well educated except in that
which for his present purpose he
should have known best of all-the
science of physics He has a lucra-
tive profession, and yet he tells me
that he has expended nearly all his
hard Won money in unsuccessful eff
forts to perfect a perpetual motion
machine. He asks for advice, but
it is plain that he would scorn the
only advice | could give him, which
would be to either throw away his
machine at once or else to set it
aside until he has mastered the
laws of mechanics, after which he
would be sure to throw it away
without waiting for advice.
Everybody who has the reputa-
tion of being scientist soon be-
comes painfully aware of the multi
tude of the worshipers of this siren
of perpetual notion They are con-
tinualy asking for advice-and
never taking it, They are like fool
ish. ignorant little fish that can not
be dissuaded from swallowing
tempting bait, which all wise fish
have known for generations to be
only a deadly lure.
But l shall. perhaps. be asked, as
some of these same misled invent
ors have already asked me. why
do you who have said SO much to
encourage invention. now denounce
this particular form of it as inn
possible?"

The Spice of It
BY JAMES RAVENsCROFT.

@ITY folks to the country go
When they're having their vacations;
Where the milk low and the roosters crow
And they set out mans size rationa
They leave off starchy, padded clothes
And they roam the hills and valleys;
And they call it great, and they say they hate
To go back to streets and alleys.
Country folks to the city HE
In their recreative leisure;
Where for half the night there are lanes OF light
With the lure of life and pleasure
They put clothes they swelter in
And they go while they've cash to go on;
And going away they wish they could stay
Right there-and forth and so on
Went to a farm" town folks enthuse
For rest from the hurly- burly"
Say the farm folk; well we've been for spell
Where they don't get up so early"
Each could have got more rest course
Staying at home but that's not it;
They wanted things strange they wanted change,
And couldn't rest till they got it,

Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. II. Parkhurst

~ EOPLE are educated by the
work that they do that is,
If it Is educating work, and
a good deal of it is not.
A good deal of it is work that a
man might go on doing all his life
long, and at the end know no more
than he did at the beginning.
That so much of the work that Is
being done is of the uneducating
kind is one of the bad fruits of our
civilization.
1t is work of the kind that is
given to the people that are down
and keeps them down. 1t is en-
ployment that is of such sort that
it gives the worker nothing in par
ticular to think about to exercise
his mind over, or to be interested
in.
And work that can be done with
out having to think about 1t ear
nestly and become interested in it
deeply never makes any wiser the
man that does It,
For example, a man who shovels
gravel does not thereby become
more of a man any more than
steam shovel by being operated be-
comes more of steam shovel.
And very much of the labor that
is being performed is of precisely
that character.
Consider, for instance, the condi-
ton Of mill operative, ticket
chopper on the elevated railroad a
truckman, street sweeper, a
seamstress, a bank clerk. pinned
down to one particular, narrow,
repetitious line of service.
Workers Become
Mere Machines.
A very great deal OF what is be-
ing done is much of that order.
1t is work that runs in a rut, and
hardly is there any more thought
required in the doing of 1t than is
required of car wheel in its move
ment along the railroad irons.
Workers become in that way lit
tie more than human machines,
and, like machines of the other
sort, grow worse rather than better
by the using, to be kept running till
they finally wear out, break down
and are thrown on the scrap heap.
This situation is intensified by
the increasing tendency toward the
division of labor, which Is all the
time making the grooves of indi-
vidual service narrower and mar
rover, the ruts deeper and deeper,
with always less opportunity for
independent thought and action,
and thought must be independent
and action must be self determined
If 1t is going to conduce to the ad-
vantage of the worker
That, then, is the drift Of events
with us. That is the way things
are going.
And they are going faster and
faster.
This is a severe criticism upon
our civilization, but 1t is true.
TIME presidential vote cast by
the Socialists is no longer a
negligible quantity, running
from $4,000 in 1900 to $4,000, in
1908. The estimated strength of
the party in 1910 was so per cent
greater than in 1908.
Mr. Debs is again proposed as
presidential candidate and the cal
culation is that he will poll some
, thing over 100000 votes in No
vember. or ten per cent Of the en-
tire ballot cast. This increase in
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-07-30

strength, both rapid and uniform
gives non Socialists something to
think about.
Collective Ownership"
Is Chief Feature.
But there is also a good deal for
Socialists themselves to think
about, more perhaps than has been
seriously considered by the rank
and file Of the party. The Social
list program is simple and easily de-
signed, and, like all programs, en-
counters no difficulty till 1t reaches
the point of execution.
The fundamental feature of the
plan is collective ownership"
whatever exactly may be the dis,
tinction between that and govern
ment ownership"
This much, however. is evident
ly intended-that certain properties
shall be taken out from under in
dividual control and become thu
holdings Of the people taken col
lectively or of some governmental
representative Of the people.
Since confiscation is not con-
fessed part Of the scheme2a fea-
ture that would be strenuously re-
sisted by none more than bv prom
erty-holding Socialists themselves.
who are more concerned to add to
their possessions than to lose what
they have got-it follows that dis
possessed individual holders are to
be compensated upon surrendering
their property to collective owner
ship.
The properties thus to be sur
rendered and paid for out of the
collective" treasury include rail-
roads, telegraphs, all large scale
industries" all distributing agen-
cies, ETC., etc.
A student who has given more
thought to this matter than most
people has roughly estimated the
amount required for so immense a
purchase at hundreds of billions Of
dollars.
Supposing we make a TRY" at
the matter by calling it $1,000
100000.
That would mean a per capita
outlay of $4,000 for every man,
woman and child in the country.
Cheaper to Plan
Than to Work.
AS that would be impracticable,
and as the collective" treasury,
being empty, would be unable to
reimburse individual holders, the
collective" administrators Of the
treasury (and only the powers above
would have an Imagination fertile
enough to conceive what or who

in behalf of impecunious collec-
tivity, certificates of obligation,
carrying with them, of course. an
interest pledge of. say, per cent,
the total amount of which would be
twenty billions annually.
That sum 1t would devoive upon
the people to pay every twelve
months, except so far as the prin-
cipal was reduced by some hypo-
thetical sinking fund held by i'm
pecunious COLLECTIVELY. AS said at
the outset 1t is cheaper to construct
program than to work 1t.
No scheme of the kind will be
practically undertaken till the solid
sense of the country has forgotten
its brains and the intelligence Of
the majority been taken captive by
the uncalculating infatuation Of the
minority.
