THE Coming Slavery
(By Nels weston. j

Under the. above title, Herbert Spen-
Ger wrote book in which he declared
that Socialism was coming. His go
cialism" was to be the government
ownership and operation of the means
of production and distribution, but
with the government in control of a
privileged, minority class So he wise
~ concluded that such socialism
would be the worst form of slavery
which the world had ever seen. To be
sure, after some information from
John Sprago, he admitted that he was
mis-informed when he wrote the book.
However, let US look square1y at an
accidental, or deliberate, trend to

WHEN SOME FELLOWS DADDY
- KILLS SoMT FELLOWS DAD


ct. M. Bray, In "Boys Life" the Bow
Scouts Magazine.)
When we get to fighting, our fathers
step in
And say it is wrong, a shame and .
sin,
With-"why in the world did you
ever begin,
Scratching and biting?
black eye at your age; why, good
ness me,
Your face is so battered you hardly
can see
What kind of man will you grow up
Constantly fghting!"
But some fellows daddy kills some
fellows dad,
The finest old daddy a boy ever had,
And half of the world is shouting like
mad,
When men disagree.
And now they are fighting by mil
lions they say,
Thousands Of daddies are killed every
day,
With NO one. to stop them or pull
. them away
And no referee. i
We know very little Of war and its
schemes,
We. can't understand what all Of II
means,
But when war takes our daddies Il
certainly seems
That fighting should cease.
It strikes US foolish that men think
they must
Keep shooting and stabbing. Oh, why
cant they just
Shake hands and have peace!
