when cross the big divide can walk
straight up to the bar of judgment and
look God in the face without flicker"
1--WE had the railroads whipped to a
standstill," he said, warming up, but
the soldiers, the courts and the army
or deputy United States mafshals that
'cabbed our jobs were too much for

was the only union that the railroad
managers ever feared"
And then he told me the melancholy
story of his own persecution and sut-
fering after the strike His job was
gone and his name was ON the black
list. Five jobs he secured under as
sumed names were lost to him as
soon as he was ound out Poverty be-
gan to- harass him. He picked UP odd
jobs and when he managed to get d
dollar ahead he sent it to his family
His aged mother died of ,privaticn and
worry and his wife soon followed her
to the grave. Two boys were left but
whatever became Of them and whether
they are now alive or dead he cou u
never learn.
The old fellow grew serious and a
melancholy sigh escaped him. But he
was not bitter. He bore no malice
toward anyone. He had suffered much
but he had kept the faith and his re-
grets were at least free from reproach-
es.
He was broken down old veteran
/ of the industrial army. He had paid
the penalties of his protest against pri-
vately owned industry and the slavery
OF his class and now in his old age
ne was shutting along in his rage to-
wards a nameless grave in the potter,s
field.
Had he been an ODE sient corporation
lackey, had he scabbed on his fellow
workers, had he been mean and selfish
and cold-blooded, he would have been
promoted instead of blacklister by the
corporation and honored instead of
hc&nced by society His manhood and
se4-respect cost him dearly, but he
raid the price to the last farthing. His
ri1ht' to work and live, his home. his
family and his friends were all swept
away because he refused to scab on mis-
Efellowmen.
The old umbrella member stood be-
ore me pround and erect and looked
me straight in the eyes as he finished
his pathetic story. The shabby clothes
ne wore were to him capitalist socie-
Tvs reward of manhood and badge of
honor -
There was something peculiarly
grand about the SCARED old veteran
OF the industrial battlefield. His shah
D1ness was all on the outside and he
seemed TRANSPORTED to me and clad in
garments of glory. He doomed before
me like forest monarch the tempests
mad riven and denuded of It's foliage
but could not lay low.
He had kept his faith and had never
scabbed!

part of the ownership to the govern
ment.
But the change. is also coming from
the other side.
The majority of the people have no
interest in keeping up the present
system.
This system is not the end of all
things-not any more than feudalism
was the end OF all things. 1t is, there
fore, absolutely false to represent So
cfalists as intending to overthrow or
annihilate society-as appealing to the
brute passions of the masses. We
agitate for the organization of the
masses. And organization every
where means order. !.
We educate, we enMghten, we rea-
son, we discipline
The Socialists want to maintain Gull
ture and civilization and to bring it to
a much higher level. We appeal to
the best in every man-to the public
spirit of the citizen, to his love of wife
and children.

Socialism Its Meaning Not A Mere
Theory, But A Phase In Civilization
By Victor u. Berger

eral Wikersham really brought suit
against the Standard Oil company and
against the tobacco trust and secured
Favorable" decisions from the Sill
preme court. Both the Standard Oil
company and tobacco trust were dis
solved into various component parts.
The result in each case was bene-
fetal to the trusts which now, since
they are dissolved, have really, for.
the first time in their existence,
legal basis on which to Go business.
The ownership of these strusts, OF
course, remain the same as before.
Their methods are the same and the
profits go to the same persons.
Naturally enough their stock went
Up after the decision of the supreLe
court to Dissolve.
Third There was the Democrat.
party, which wanted new laws in order
to get back to the individualism o.
Thomas Jefferson and the competition
of the old style That is impossible.
These good folks might just as well
propose the abolition of the railroad
and return to the days of the oli, stage
coach. The trust form is the modern
way of doing business. Business has
| learned how to walk and will never
creep again.
Fourth-We have the so called pro
gressives of the La Toilette type,
They wish to regulate" the trusts.
But regulation must necessarily fail,
because the government cannot eff
feetively regulate anything it does
not own. Moreover, the trusts nat
urally will try to appoint directl or
indirectly the commissioners that d 2
ITO regulate them, or to influence tt :
commissioners after they have bee.
appointed. 1t will be atmatter OF bus
ness with them. If they do not sue
coed they will simply appeal to the
courts as they have done in similar
cases everywhere. And the courts
have to decide by custom and preco
dent established in centuries gone by
Regulation is, therefore, bound to fail
There remains only one more prop
osition, and that is the Socialist
proposition 1t is the natural solution
of the question: namely, the national
ownership of the trusts by the nation

Socialism, is generally defined as the
collective Ownership and democratic
management o the social means OF
production and distribution.'
Definitions as RUE do not explain
much, however.
This definition explains even less
than usual, because Socialism is not
mere theory invented by some
learned professor or philosopher So
cialism is the name of phase of civ
! ilization, just as feudalism was phase
of civiiation and as capitalism is the
| name Of the civilization We have now.
Many students of history and of po-
| litical economy say that Socialism
must be the name of the next phase
| if civilization is to survive.
| Man started as a savage and a
Hunter The next stages of human
progress were those of the nomadie
heldslnan and the agriculturist. Slav-
cry developed III these stages. Ihe
feudal system was the next STEP fol
lowed by the wage system.
The wage system was a step in the
evolution oil freedom; the wage worker
is better off than the laDorer OF any
previous epoch of human society. But
the wage system is only step for
ward.
The present system has evolved to
the trust stage. Trusts have been Wig.
orously attacked for their fragrant
evils; yet we also realize the great
advantages of the trust method of pro
duction and distribution on the largest
scale.
The trust has introduced many econ
omies. 1t saves LABOR and effort, con
centrates production and produces
more cheaply 1t climates the mid

As early as the year 795, the

as Sweden. Norway and Den

the people Of the British Isles.
During the first half of the ninth
century their attacks were in
cessant upon nearly every part
Of the Irish coast. and life in the
Land Of the Shamrock became
a living hell" Nowhere was life
or property safe. for leaving their
boats on the coast the Viking
robbers and murderers would Of
ten penetrate far into the inte-
rior of the country, leaving be-
hind them a trail Of devastation
and death.
In the course Of time perma-
nent settlements were made by
the invaders: little Kingships
We're established here and there;
intermarriaEe with the natives
took place; political alliances
were entered into between the
invaders and the invaded; in a
word it was the most mixed-up
situation that one could well con-
Celye.
