Senator Gaylord of Wisconsin held
the big audience at the Woman's Club
building last Sunday night for over two
hours in true spell-binder fashion. he
had something to say worth hearing ana
he knew how to say it to make people
want to hear it.
He showed that Socialism was not an
intangible thing of the dim and distant
future when the people by some mysteri-
GUS means should have developed such
a love of goodness and right that they
would naturally want to treat each other
SQUARE but that it was already develop
ing out of the capitalist system just as
ca pitalism developed out OF feudansm
and feudalism out of barbarism; and
that lust as there never was line OF
sharp demarcation where barbarlsm
ended and feudalism began, nor where
feudalism ended and capitalism began,
neither was there now or ever to be
sharp line to mark the spot where capl-
talism ended and Socialism began
Systems have always overlapped each
other. and though today capitalism Is
the dominant system yet places are TO
be found where feudalism and even par
barism still exist And long after So
cialism has become the dominant system
it is not unreasonable to suppose that
remnants of capitalism may be found.
But Socialism is on its way; IL ls
growing out of capitalism; it Is the next
order. and its development into domi-
nance is not far away. 1t is moving all
over the world. The labor unions have
played an important and essential part;
they have shortened the hours of labor
and improved many other conditions,
fighting every inch OF the way Nothing
has ever come easy for them, but they
have never surrendered. They nave
made possible a wider education along
vital lines without which Socialism
could not come But there is still much
to do. Political power, without winch
industrial victories can never be made
complete nor permanent, is yet 10 De
! gained. The working class is the only
one in whose hands political power can
be used to do away with graft. 1t has
done it in Milwaukee and wherever 1t
has had the chance. What is graft?
