SOME QUESTIONS FOR DR.. ELIOT
The Socialist State and Individual
Liberty.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: AS one who believes that socialism
offers the only cure for the ills Of our
society, would like to propose to DR..
Charles ". Eliot series Of questions.
The author OF Twentieth Century
Christianity is a gentleman of progress
sive ideas. He is responsible for the be-
lief that "A system Of profit sharing viii
solve the problems of labor and capital
and will end industrial strife" He fur
Their believes that The influence OF
trades-unionism and socialism. agencies
which cherish democratic ideals and on
the whole have furthered the democratic
movement in the nineteenth century, may
decline in the twentieth, because some OF
their policies and methods are clearly In
consistent with rational indivldualism
and unselfsh liberty"
Does DR.. Eliot believe that a system OF
profit sharing would accomplish much
more in the way OF alleviating unjust
economic conditions than has our tink-
ering with currency reforms. income
taxes and accident insurance? Is he sat
isfied with an ideal OF mere alienation?
II not is Il not evident TO person of his
intellectual capacity and insight that the
one means by which can be abolished
the vast inequalities of wealth distribu-
ton, with its attending poverty and deg
radiation, is BY the abolition Of rent, in
terest and profits az they now exist? Is
is not further evident that the institution
OF socialism, with its platform Of own
ership Of industries by the people, is the
logical step toward the attainment Of
this end?
DO not tho elements OF expediency. hu-
man justice and common sense dictate
the establishment of a state wherein ell
men shall be afforded An opportunity TO
exercise the God-given opportunity to
work, produce and 10 add 10 the wealth
Of the world? Would a system OF profit
sharing tend. in any degree, to forward
this ideal?
Should belief in the ultimate attain
ment OF state approaching equality Of
income be classed as an idle dream? Is
II not fact that progress which we have
already made In science and invention.
II coupled with proper direction and or
ganization, would insure pleasant ma
terial existence to ALL? Is not such a
state of society the legitimate outcome OF
the spirit Of human brotherhood OF which
We hear so much to-day?
Is it not futile to predict the decline of
the socialist movement on the ground
that it is "antagonistic 10 rational in
dividualsm and unselAsh liberty? Must
il not be admitted that in the present
state of society the qualities mentioned
are confined TO small portion of hui
mainly; that for the vast majority they
are in the nature OF a myth? Can such
individuaHsm he properly termed ration
al?
The above questions are not presented
in a carping spirit. nor with any other
desire than to have light thrown upon a
vital subject.

antitrust bills just cataputed over from the House
of Representatives contain scores of confused ldeaS
and riot of verbiage which especially RECON-
inended itself to the Capitol gold brick operators
because il made spnters of all ordinary rules OF

IL rho Senate gives the House measures the cllt-
fa attention which their faults of construction de

December The House Democratic leaders and the
President engaged in conspiracy to deceive each
other and to deceive the public. They agreed 10
report and pass measures which everybody was to
ho left free to interpret as he pleased until the
puzzlebreakers on the federal bench should tear
the riddle to ieces.
The President and the House leaders have STUCK
their heads into the sand and are happy. MI MI
son says positively that the House bills give or
gapized labor no rights which it did not enjoy
before If he thought they did he could not sign
them in view of the courageous memorandum which

he was willing to accept an amendment making
the committees purpose entirely clear, Mr.. webb
naturally said that he was not. What he and ms
c6laboratorS were chiefly concerned about was
preserving phraseology which would enable the
Gomrers element of the combination TO say that
the secondary boycott had been legalized while
permitting the Wilson element to deny that any
sanction whatever had been given TO ii.
The best thing the Senate do with the House
trust bills is to let them slumber in committee
They have already served their cheap political pur-
pose Mr. Gompers can claim his mess OF pottage
even though Mr. Wilson may deny cooking and
delivering it.
Why 20 further? As laws the House bills would
much further the recovery of business for which
most people hope AS gold bricks they are artistic
and satisfying The Senate ought to put them in

A FARMER"
have printed this letter at such length
because it is rich in good advice Many
of our readers live on farms. large or small,
and this counsel from one who has gone
through the same experience and made it
pay in the face Of early encouragement
ought to be an incentive to those who are
debating whether to go to the city or stay
where they are. In one beautiful hill coun-
try with which l am familiar the slopes
and plains are covered with abandoned
farms, and the glorious views are wasted,
the meadows untitled. the pastures grow
ing up into brush. Here and there a few
foreigners have come in and are cultivating
bits Of land, but the native Americans are
crowded into manufacturing towns hard
by and have lost-or rather given up-the
homes they had been born in and which
in many cases their fathsr and grand
fathers had worked to gain. So when
read a letter like the foregoing am happy
to think its words Of wisdom may perhaps
persuade a few here and there to try to
make good in the country and to keep
out Of the city life.
