First Lecture, March list, 1914
what is Socialism,"

1T is difficult to tell even what
Christianity is, let alone socialism, be-
cause 1t is a developing thing"
"The purpose of socialism must be
a worthy one since it comedies, to
quite a degree with the purpose of
Christianity itself"
I'm this sense socialism describes a
tendency and an aspiration. 1t in
cludes the aim and efforts of all those
who seek to bring a gradual better
ment of human conditions"
Hence it is that socialism arose. 1t
was then-and is now-an honest en-
deavor to get justice done among
men,"
Modern socialism, however, does
not propose to force any one into the
socialistic scheme. If any n is able
to gain a livelihood by his private
efforts socialism is quite content that
he should do So"
"In fairness it should further be said
that modern socialists desire to dis
turb existing arrangements as little as
possible in attaining the main end Of
socialism"
81 do not think that socialism Is liv-
ing for itself or even for a class. l be-
lieve it has its eye on the good of ALL"
"If capitalism had its way 1t would
stab the nation in its very vitals."
Everything that stimulates the am
bition of working men to claim their
rights and insist on them-even to
blood-is praiseworthy and patriotic"
"Now, socialism owes more to Chris.
tianity than 1t thinks, for it is a con-
~spicuous fact, that in all its modern
tendencies, it has been veering to-
wards the ideals of Christ and who
knows but what in a generation or
two, it will not be on substantially
Christian ground"

Second Lecture, March 9th, 1914
What is the Matter With Socialism,"

Now. Notwithstanding all our ad.
missions and concessions in favor of
socialism l greatly doubt it's ultimate
success in it's present shape"
"In the first place | think the fun
damental and fatal mistake of social
ism in applying it's methods lies in its
observation of the individual"
Father Vaughan says that besides
destroying the family and religion
socialism makes too little of the indiv-
ual and too much of the state"
with his private property would
be swept away all the private posses
sions of his individuality"
THE nation would be composed of
two classes, permanent officials pos
sessing absolute power and ordinary
citizens possessing neither power nor
right-overseer and workman-slave
driver and slaves-and the only way
to escape the tyrany of the state would
be to commit suicide"
"In fact / think the socialist state
plans to overdo the function of govern
ment so that socialism Is paternalism
gone to seed"
Socialists have an idea that there
will be a certain spell about their
manner of handling things which will
succeed as by magic"
What the best religions and philos-
ophies have been unable to remov in
5000 years socialists will be able to
accomplish at ono as by the touch of
a magician's wand. So they claim"
1.-THE gospel of socialism is well
meant but 1t is superficial"
1.-THE socialists hope Is, in the main,
right. His method is born of despair"

MERCHANTS AND FARMERS
WORKING TOGETHER

Many of the largest chambers OF
commerce and board of trades that had
for years confined their efforts to city
affairs have of late years ~reorganized
or have established departments for
the purpose of cooperating with the
people of the farms near by.
A few years ago these organizations
would have secuted the idea that there
was a field in which merchants and
farmers might proftably work to-
gether for the upbuilding of the COM
munity. Now, however, the merchant
who often Is In fact a farmer, also is as
much interested in improving farm
crops and farming methods as is the
farmer himself.
Intelligent citizens Of all classes
have begun to see that, while a large
field must be left free for the exercise
of individual initiative and enterprise,
there are a great many things that
must be done by the community as a
whole. There may be some selfshness
in the merchants wanting the farmers
to raise bigger crops, but the farmers
are nevertheless the biggest gamers by
the improvement.
The example that merchants have
set in helping the farmers to better
themselves might well be followed by
the farmers in helping the merchants
to better themselves. They can do
this most directly by buying at home
everything they can, and If they can
not buy the goods, quality or class OF
goods they want they car best help
their community by making their com
plants to the merchants themselves
1t certainly is a doubtful e~xpedient to
send away from home for an article
the merchant doesn't carry without
first letting him know that he has not
stocked goods for which there is a de
mand in his community.

After comparison of the two lectures very little nee be said.
One criticism of the lecturers method. He has cited, and quoted, indivd-
uaIs and individual expressions but not once did he quote rom o refer &c ne
socialist declaration. or platform, of principles.
Individuals have a right to their thoughts and opinions md hat Is as 1t
should be. But, individual opinion should not condemn the socialist organ
izaton any more than the opinions of a n Ingersol o. a Voltaire should con-
denim the republican or democratic parties.
The "ORcial State Publicity Pamphlet" published by the state of South
Dakota contains, o its first page, the platform of principles Of the socialist
of South Dakota. On the second page a argument in avo o. IN
socialist philosophy. Every voter has, o should have ereth this, received a
copy of this pamphlet, ser to him by the authority oft the Dick Richards

favor of them and then let your better Judgment tell you whether the "lndivid-
ual is subordinatedr to society" or not

lures. There is about rs much difference between those sets o. statements

A REPLY TO DR.. TILDEN
lBy s. H. GoodfelloWl

(By s. H. Goodfenow)
In preparing this reply wish it clearly understood that am actuated by
no personal feeling towards DR. Tiden of whom have the highest regard and
trust l may be counted among his friends. Neither do l write for any vain
glory to myself l a m wholly actuated by a desire to correct the grevious
mistake and egregous error which as committed in the lastle lecture.
At this point wish to say that If any of my words appear to be harsh
they are not ito apply to the lecturer but are used only to emphasize the error
We all agree that the great and burning question of the day is the settlement
of the issues between capital and labor. Capital is the master; labor is its
slave. Capital is striving for profits and dividends; labor is struggling for
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"
