SOCIALISM DEBATED
At PEOPLES FORUM
DR.. Jacob Gould Schurman
Makes Attack and John
Spargo Defends.
CATHOLIC IN THE CHAIR
Equality in Common Poverty
Educator Claims Would
Be the Result.
BY international News Service.

| NEW ROCHELDE, y. l., Jan. lb.-
| The twelfth session OF the people S
forum was opened today with a debate
on Socialism between DR.. Jacob Gould
| Schurman, president OF Cornell uni
| versity, and John Spargo, well known
| as a writer on Socialistic questions.
DIR. Conde b. Pallen, editor of the
Catholic Encyclopedias, presided over
the meeting, which was attended by
spoke on "The Case Against Social
ism,' said the conception of Socialism
has for thousands Of years appealed TO
the uneducated and semi-educated.
Schurman's Charge.
Socialism, he said, "claims that
capital controls not only labor but leg
islatures, executives, courts, churches
and schools. | do not deny that men
of wealth have some Influence in this
direction. but in my opinion that day
IS rapidly passing An honest effort
is being made by legislatures in the in
terests OF justice. Morals are only the
sanctified customs of the community.
No capitalist can change the morals Of
a community.
Socialists, the speaker said, would
place all industries in the hands of the
state TO be controlled by a lot of poll
ticians without knowledge of the bust
ness 10 he turned over to them and
who would soon bring about universal
bankruptcy and chaos.
"We would have equality. not equal
itv in prosperity, but equality In com
mon poverty concluded DR. Schur
man.
Reply of SpargO.
Mr.. Spargo, in defending Socialism,
said.
81 believe that in the evolution Of
society capital was necessary, but /
am equally prepared to argue that cap
ital has reached its breaking point and
is no longer necessary TO society. The
man who in this day declares for less
government and protests against the
inevitable extension of government is
always found among the criminals and
debauchers of our civic life. The So
cialist is the one man who is trying TO
put an end to class struggle. The state
today represents the master class This
master class cannot even operate its
railroads successfully. Do you mean TO
say that the actual workers on the New
York, New Haven & Hartford could
not operate it better than the men who
direct themF The present master class
Is not competent TO manage either gov
ernment or industry.
"As for DR.. Schurman s contention
that the interest of capital is in the in
terest of labor. | might as well claim
that the interest of the dog is the in
terest Of the flea on the dog

PUTS THE FINAL
TOUCHES ON HIS
TRUST MESSAGE
President Wilson Is Ready to
Go Before Congress To-
morrow With Recommen-
dations for Legislation.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
ARE NOW FAVORED
Executive Also Desires Free
Criticism and Expression Of
Opinion on Measures He
Desires Enacted.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-President
Wilson today put the finishing touche,
on the message dealing with the anti
trust reform which he will read to a
joint session OF congress Tuesday
The message will be the opening ut.
terance by the administration on the
scope of legislation which it believes
should be enacted promptly, not only TO
correct the evils in modern business
generally deprecated by public opinion,
but to construct system of govern
ment assistance that would stimulate
business enterprises and development.
The president in pointing the way
to legislation on the specific phases of
the trust question, intends to empha-
size the necessity for friendly spirit
IN congress in approaching the task.
He wishes the business men of the
country to be assured of the admins
tration s intention to welcome sugges-
tion and common counsel and to afford
those affected by the proposed legisla-
tion ample time to adjust themselves
TO new laws or conditions. In line with
this attitude, the president favors pub.
lie hearings on the administration bills
when thew are prapared

2-The prohibition Of intcrlocking
directorates. Legislation, as well as
powers of publicity to be invested in
government bureau, is expected to cor.
rect these abuses.
3-The creation of an interstate
trade commission, merged with the bu.
reau of corporations, TO furnish infor.
nation TO the business world, and at
the same time act as board of con.
ciliation in helping corporations to ad.
just themselves to the mandates of the
law.

Criticism Desired.

He opposed hearings on the tariff
and the currency measures, as he be.
lieved congress and the country had
made up its mind on. the details and
that hearings meant unnecessary delay.
Free criticism and expression of opinion
on the trust programme by all inter.
ests concerned is desired by Mr.. WI.
son, and he thinks the hearings, instead
of delaying, will facilitate the pas,
sage of the bills.
Summed up, the administration pro-
gramme on trust reform for the present
session of congress covers the follow.
ing points:
1-Supplemental legislation to the
Sherman antitrust law. Without
amending the Sherman law, GER
tain additions are intended, such as
prohibition of secret agreements or
understandings looking to discrimina-
tions in credit and the fixing of prices,
and underselling and other means OF
sitting competition,

These resolutions have without ex-
ceptiou been referred 70 the postoffice
committee. There they have been pig
eonholed and there they remain at the
present time.
According 70 the story, as it has
leaked from the postoffice department,
the administration is afraid at the pres
ent time 10 have an open break with
thc Democrats in congress on the post
alizatiou OF wire service. Until the
antitrust legislation has been put
through President Wilson will take no
chances OF antagonizing house mem
oers. Thus no executive pressure has
been brought TO bear.
Postmaster General BuTleson. il is
stated, believes telegraph and telephone
lines can be taken over at an initial
cost Of s250,000.000, and that the sur
plus made by the postoffice department
on the parcel post during the coming
fiscal year will be sufficient TO pay the
4 per cent interest on the transaction.

his friends, is a believer In the use OF
any surplus arising in his department
for the Improvement OF the postal
service

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-Postmas
ter General Burleson has in his pos
session facts and figures showing how
the government can take over the tele
phone and telegraph companies and op
crate them at a saving of 33 1-3 pei
cent to the public. He has, further
more, a table of earnings, showing the
government, while making a one.third
cut in prices, can operate the telegraph
aud telephone lines at greater profit
on capital invested than is now being
made under private ownership.
This dnta represents ten months of
research and correspondence with prac-
tically every civilized country in the
world.
The international News Service
learned today, on the source of high
authority, that this information, vital
" essential in the consideration OF gov
crnment ownership Of telegraph and
telephone lines, has been ignored by the
house postoffice committee.
The data which the postmaster gen
eral has acquired has been the subject
of several resolutions on the floor OF
the house. Advocates of government
ownership of telegraph and telephone
companies have introduced measures
calling upon the postoffice department
for all information supplementary to
that contained in tho annual report.

Lipscomb Proved a Hero.

Andy Lipscomb has not been given
half credit enough for his heroic deed
accomplished a week or oago in res
cuing Kansas City man and his son
from drowning in the Usage river
when, as was mentioned in the Re-
view few days since, the cable on
which a trolley Car operates in cross
ing the stream, gave way. The car,
which contained Mr.. Lipscomb and a
Kansas City hunter and his boy had
reached a point nearly midway of the
river when the cable gave way. The
car, with its occupants, dropped like
shot for a distance of forty-five feet
into twelve feet of water. The Kan
sas City parties were entangled in the
rope used to operate the car and sank
with the box to the bottom. 1t came
to the surface at once however, but
had turned bottom side up and the
gentleman and his son were UNDER
meath. Mr.. Lipscomb jumped clear
of the car when falling and, although
he, too, felt the bottom of the river,
he padded to the surface but his COM
panions were nowhere in sight.
About this time the wooden car came
up and, surmising that his friends
were underneath, he dived down to
investigate. He found them entang-
led as stated and rescued them both,
altho he himself was almost exhaust
ed in doing it.
Andy is not saying much about the
deed himself, but the Kansas City
hunting club let's no opportunity pass
to tell of it and to give their friend
boundless credit.-Rich Hill Review.
