side OF Socialism
IL Is rarely one sees as sane and
reasonable an exposition OF the sub

answers as are contained In this

students OF Socialism, for il aims 10
reach the truth, not Wild propa'
ganda which the lesser Socialists try
TO force upon us.
In all fairness, II would seem that
Mr.. Hillquit has the better argument
and Is on firmer ground than his ad-
versary. DR.. Ryan is an idealist and
feels that things are rightlng, ana

Socialism versus Social Reform
The weakest point OF Mr.. HiIlQuits
argument IS that he appears TO set
definite goal 10 industrial evolution
through Socialism.
DR.. Ryan feels that government will
become a sort OF paternal institution,
taking care OF its children, through
legislation, with fathers care Ihe
study OF the history or civilization
would not warrant, we think, any
such conclusion. When justice IS done
1t Is usually through the mighty Ell
forts OF the suppressed class against
those in power. II is charming to hnd
a man OF wide knowledge with his
faith in the ultimate goodness OF hu-
mainly still unshaken, but can We be
content with the waste o. human Ire

house. In spite Of the peace propa-

to make some of the nations turn to
the battlefield instead of to the court
of arbitration for the settlement Of
their differences. Wal is a state OF
mind. and the European state OF
mind is Still SO much permeated by
the ideas and ideals Of war that It
is as yet difficult to substitute reason
for violence. But the day will come,
as promised in holy writ, when the

and the United States is doing her
part in bringing this day by throwing
the weight Of her great influence in
favor Of every proposition that looks
