laws in the light of socialism, and in
the seats of the executive where laws
will be enforced which make for so
individual and competitive to the So
cialist basis may be made without dis
turbing the constitution or a single so
cial institution. All that is needed is a
majority in the legislatures of the ma
ton and the states.
And yet after all something else is
needed. Behind the legislatures stands
the public. There must be a sanction
for law or it can never be alive. This
sanction is always recognized as pub
lie. opinion. Hence the Socialist is I'M
der no delusion as to the efficacy OF
Socialist office holders at this step in
the progress. Surrounded as they are
by opposition at every turn they can
in the very nature of the case accom-
plish little. But this does not discour-
age the Socialist. He persists in ham
mering his doctrines into the public
with the conviction that some day the
whole public will demand socialism.
Industrial Unionlsm
Even now it is possible for a Social
ist legislator to accomplish much pro-
viding he has backing One man in a
legislature can accomplish large things
if he Yields large club. The Social
lists are determined that no time will
be wasted in securing their ends so
they are working out a system where
by results may be accelerated. This is
industrial unionism. That sounds very
much like trades unionism, so arouses
little comment. But it is quite different
and would arouse every person with
the liveliest anticipations if its true
nature were more largely known.
Industrialism is the organization of
men according to industries. Further,
it is the organization of organizations
so that at last the whole working class
will be united in one great union. Dur
ing the course of this process political
demands will be made. If they are not
granted some industry will go out on
a strike. That will stir things up. I'M
agine all the railroads on a strike!
Where would we get food, or coal, or
oil, or how send mail? Everything
would be paralyzed. A club that will
paralyze society is considerable. A big
stick, indeed! The working-class Is
now gradually hewing out such a stick
and Is planning to use it in the not
very distant future. Whenever 1t does
we may expect to see politics become
very much enlivened.
All this is not for the purpose of
making trouble but of socializing ia
dustry.

| industry? Will all the grocery-stores
and peanut stands and shining parlors
| be owned and operated by the nation
No. He has no such delusions. He aims
to socialize only the basic industries
| those that are socially operated. Just
| how far this can be carried only ex-
| pertinent can reveal. He aims to break
the backbone of the profit system and
! rescue the necessaries of existence
! from the clutches of industrial gamb-
lers. Public roads were once private;
they have been socialized. And armies ::
soldiers were once hired to the highest
bidder. And navies. Schools were pri-
vate few years ago. The highest bid
der once carried the mail: in some
places he does still The express COM
panies, mines, railroads, oil wells,
steel mills, grain elevators, etc, ETC.,
may be as easily socialized.
The state or nation could buy them
outright. In many cases their profits
would pay for them in a few years. Or
they could be duplicated and thus put
out of business. If store opened up in
this town selling its merchandise at
cost it would soon monopolize the
business. Or some industries might
be confiscated. 1t would be merely a
case of securing the return of stolen
goods. What right have the Guggen-
helms to the coal fields or timberlands
of Alaska.
Or the very reasonable plan of the
Fabians might be used; let the people
appropriate surplus wealth through
taxation The income tax now being
advocated by the Democrats is step
in that direction and shows how the
thing might be done.
sociaIism-society in Action.
Socialism is being tried step at a
time all over the world. Society will in
evitably push it just as far as it will
work. That's what the Socialist is do
ing He is supported by men who
WELD the ballot: they are not COM
PEELED to support him. If he becomes
ruinous he will lose his power TO hurt
through having his backing withdrawn.
We may therefore work with him or
observe him without fear that he will
wreck society. And that for the very
sufficient reason that socialism is ap-
piled only as rapidly as society wills.
It is society in action. And we need not
fear that society will cut its own
throat.
Editors -"Syndicalism" will
be Mr.. Haywood's topic for tomorrow.
Socialism gone mad" he aptly terms
it,

date use of money. If working-men
are supporting the wage system it is
because they believe it best COMFORTS
with their own welfare. Since the ma
jority of them at this stage of pro-
gress do seem to be upholding it the
Socialist is convinced that these
working-men do not understand the
laws of economics or wherein their
own interests lie. If they can be got to
see that they can never receive the
full return of their toll from a profit
system and if they can be further
shown that only a system of collective
ownership will bring to them the full
measure of their production they will
surely be willing to support the plan
for collective ownership.
Acting on this assumption the So
cialist has organized a vast propagan-
da of education. He is writing thous-
ands of books, pamphlets and newspa-
pers and distributing them e,'ervwbere
among the workers. He holus meet
ings on the streets where he tries to
show the worker where his real inter
ests lie. He engages lecturers to
speak who are able to unravel the
tangled web of social development and
show the people how it is that the
working-man is being Systematically
robbed through the operation of the
competitive system which is based on
private profits.
In each community Socialists are or
ganizing Locals" which are nothing
but propaganda clubs, as a means of
reaching the individual worker with
this philosophy. One can never wholly
comprehend the socialist propaganda
until he learns what a La ge place edu-
cation is playing in the movement. As
socialism is based on history and soci-
ology all this teaching carries with it
a vast deal of instruction regarding
these subjects. The Socialist movement
is a great educational toros in the
working class and can't help but do
much to stimulate many mUds. When
the worker is aroused ard made to
see that his interests are tied up with
collective ownership he becomes
class conscious"
Class Consciousness.
Since socialism is something which
can come TO the workers as a class
and not as individuals it is necessary
for them to organize as a class in or
der to secure it. The next step after
education is therefore to unite all the
workers into solidarity so they will
act as one man. To a sclass conscious
Socialist" any argument Or tendency
that bids to disrupt the class is the
worst of heresies. He feels the need of
class unity at any price.
But how shall this united class
work? Through what medium can it
obtain its ends? To this the Socialist
replies at once, Through legislation
and political reorganization" Hence
the Socialist movement has organized
itself as political party and is now
in the field endeavoring to place So
cialists in the legislatures where they
will pass laws making for socialism:
in the courts where they will interpret

By the death of the Rev. James M. Townsend,

He fought for his race and its emancipation

He fought for his race all the years SINCE min

By his works he was known and appreciated

plus wealth. To bring that wealth un
der the control of the people becomes
then the aim of socialism. In the latter
case one feels that all the trouble is
due to the private ownership and con
troll of the machinery of production.
One must work in order to live and
he must have machinery in order to
work. Machinery Is essential to exist
ence. But the way things are this
machinery Is so costly that wage
worker could never save enough to
purchase it for his own use; and it is
operated by many men working at
one time so that he could not himself
run it if he did own it. So long as this
present system endures the individual
worker is cut off from the very thing
on which his life depends. He becomes
wage-slave. He loses control of the
terms of his own existence. The only
remedy for this he believes to be the
abolition of this wage system and the
establishment of a system wherein the
people would own their own machin-
cry of production and would manufac-
ture things for use and not for profit.
These two classes approach social
ism from different angles but little
reflection will reveal that at bottom
their position and their remedies are
exactly the same. In both cases social
ism is the organized effort of the pro-
letarian class to free itself from wage
slavery through collective ownership
and democratic control.
What Socialists Are Doing.
Once this aim of socialism becomes
clear to us the next question springs
up in our minds, How is the Socialist
to secure this state of things? How
can he bring 1t about?" The best reply
to this question will be to show what
the Socialists are now doing toward
the realization of their purposes. Ac-
lions speak louder than words, and
with less confusion.
TIE Socialist believes that every
man will act in the long run according
to what he understands his economic
interests to be. Economic interests"

Racing men were too blind to recognize the
folly of countenancing this evil and as result
