THE TAFT VIEW OF SOCIALISM
1t Is Criticised with Aid from Our
Former Presidents Career.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: There has been widely circulated a
statement by ex-President Taft TO the
effect that socialism must fail because
Il has no substitute for the motive es-
sential to arouse and make constant
human effort that is furnished by the IN
stitution of private property and the
shaping OF reward by competition and
natural economic adjustment"
| would like to submit TO tho former
President the following questions: Is it
the incentive of rewards OF private prop
erty that has shaped his life, or has the
source Of his good works been divine
energy coupled with the spirit Of service?
II the latter is the case. is Mr.. Taft
in this respect exceptional? Is II not
more reasonable to believe that there are
millions Of men who pursue their tasks
primarily for the joy TO be found in work?
And IL there are other millions for whom
harsh economic conditions have made
work a drudgery and the inspiratlonal
qualities a myth. does not the solution lie
in raising the living standard of all hu-
manity?
AS socialism has for its chief aim this
end. is not the movement worthy OF sup
mort by all those who truly seek world
betterment?

Is it possible that the Progressives are not q

crepancy between the spirit of the antifusion reso

and the spirit Of the CoOnes farewell utterance as

as the Progressives should know by their running

If It remains IN control Of the Republican party after
the primaries, for even though the Republican
ticket were defeated that would not mean the
destruction Of Mr.. Barnes's influence.
All this is mere repetition of history which these
Progressive statesmen should have by heart. 1t is
to be hoped that the young hotheads in the new
party will remember that their chiefs return is
imminent and that he has promised to have a great
deal to say when he gets back They don't want

MORE BIBLICAL CONTRADICTIONS
From Them Reader Argues Against
the Theory Of lnerrancy.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: It is evident that a considerable
number Of apparently educated people
still cherish infantile ideas concerning
the inerraney Of the Bible, instead Of
regarding it as a book, or series Of books,
written by God-fearing men who were
nevertheless falllble and not in advance
of the age in which they lived.
The discrepancies noted by your ccrre-
spondent, Mr.. Fogel. might easily be
supplemented by many others, some OF
the most remarkable occurring within a
single book, as for example, when the
writer OF the Acts OF the Apostles dX. q
states that those who accompanied Paul
on his Journey 10 Damascus heard voice
from Heaven, but further on (xxii
says that they did not hear the voice.

The Book Of Genesis abounds in these
discrepancies. and it should be noted that
they are not errors OF translation, but
will be found in the original Hebrew and
in the Greek.
Furthermore, there are different YER

not included in the Protestant Bible

codices-have books which are TO De

"LET THEM DIE"
A Reader Argues for Harsh Treatment
Of the Militants.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: While the vaEaries of Mrs. Pank-
hurst and her deluded followers are, I'M
doubtedly, primarily responsible for the
antics of the militant suffragettes' in
England, in my opinion the ridiculous
"cat-and-mou bill is, indirectly, also
to blame for the criminal and absurd &C
lions OF these, possibly, wel-intentioned
women. This bill makes il practically
impossible to inspire these fanatics with
any respect for the English law, as they
we'll know that by going without food for
a few days, or by being forcbly fed, they
will be released without serving any SEN
tence to imprisonment which may have
been imposed.
1t seems to me that the best way to
deal with women of this sort ii. G., those
who commit almost any crimes short of
murder, which happen to occur TO them
for the "cause'O, would be to sentence
them to Jail for practically the same
terms as would be given TO men who COM
mitted the same criminal acts. While in
prison, if they attempted any hunger
strikes" / would not either forcbly feed
allow them TO die in prison if they wanted
10, merely offering them three square
meals each day. This suggestion is in line
with the attitude Of several Of the British
ministers, and would probably soon sup
press the ''mlitants" in a manner which
would commend itself TO all sensible peo-
pie.
For many years have been a firm sup
porter OF woman suffrage in all civilized
countries, and for this very reason dis.
approve of the actions OF the militant
suffragettes," which have probably de-
layed any possibility Of English women
getting vote for years 20 como and have
even caused serious dissensions among
suffragists in this country.

Where the Wilson Fiscal Programme Has
Broken Down.

The Treasury may have on June so a S3OOOoOC
surplus Of ordinary receipts over ordinary expen
ditures No bond issue may be needed, as Secre
tary McAdoo says even to pay back the S37,0oo0O0
advance made this year from the general fund to
meet the cost OF Panama Canal construction. 1t
would be fairer 10 the present generation TO shift
that burden OF S37OO0O00 TO the shoulders of pos
terity But Mr.. McAdoo does not want TO issue
bonds for any purpose lest the public may get the
idea that the Underwood tariff law has been a
failure as a revenue producer.
Since imports will increase under the lower
Underwood rates. and since the personal income
tax is certain 10 bring in more money after the
Treasury finds out how to collect II. there is no
reason why the Underwood law should LOT produce
enough revenue TO go around until May /, 1916
when the present tax is TO be stricken off sugar
costing the Treasury from $30,000Oo0 to $400ooOO0
After that however, the outlook will be dark, and
what makes 1t look darker than IL ought TO look is
tho persistent refusal Of Congress 10 live up TO
Democratic pledges Of economy. II appropriations
continue 10 be boosted as they have been boosted
at this session and the last session the Wilson
administration will certainly have 10 float out OF
Office on borrowed money.

gramme has been its indifference to extravaganza
