derstand that my unknown friend Is very much
concerned about me. The circular states that
the preachers in Texas have been called down
by the farmers for preaching politics instead
of the gospel, and serving the Anti-Saloon
league instead Of the church 1t also declares
that the same conditions now obtain in Virginia
Surely the Millennium Is dawning when even
the liquorites concerned for the welfare Of
the church and the ministry.
Now this liquor crowd is perfectly willing for
the preachers to preach about the evils Of in
temperance, provided they make serious
effort to close up the places that cause In
temperance. Several years ago the writer spent
night in the home OF barkeeper AT that
time saloons were permitted in rural parts OF
the State, and this man kept saloon not far
from a church. The invitation to spend night
with this man was gladly accepted. for 1t seemed
to offer opportunity Of doing good During
convention this barkeeper said: Il con-
fess that I'm in a bad business and l expect
you to preach against 1t; in fact honor you all
the because you do preach against it.
It was my first pastorate and ! was highly
elated for I felt that was popular even with
the "publicans and sinners" But my eyes were
soon opened to the enormous evils produced by
this saloon which was enticing young men to

Alberta Va,

Editor Of The virg,nian:
sir,-In editorial OF September 4, entitled
German Socialism" YOU have briefly sketched
an idea that Is becoming apparent to a largely
increasing audience; the present European war
Is only a harbringer Of a more momentous. far
reaching revolution.
In one paragraph, however, you aver dis
inclination to define German socialism because
there are so many different kinds of this political
economy This statement Of yours is erroneous.
az there In only one kind Of socialism From the
time of Marx and Engeis to the present day of
Rebel. Deus London, HiIquit, and Berger you
will find upon investigation. that the ideal is
the same; government ownership of the (social)
means of production and distribution.
Let us consider this proposition. Does this
mean the government shall own our mothers
sewing machines, our typewriters, our automo-
biles? No, For these are used privately But
IL does mean that the government shall own
the railroads. tho mines the factories and all
such similar Industries; for upon these indus
tries, which are used socially. depend the well
fare. the livelihood, indeed, the very life. OF all
the inhabitants of the world.
What effect would this condition have upon
mankind?
As industry Is managed at present the object
OF itself IS profit as opposed to service This
profit it can readily be seen Is represented by
q
above its own wages-the interest on bonds for
example, comes from this surplus This aver
age must be consumed wasted or destroyed
gotten rid of in order that 1t can be profitable
70 manufacture new supply In an attempt to
have it consumed, profitably. see the estab-
!ishinent of foreign markets, and one potent
for war. In an attempt to waste this
surplus we the barbarous extravaganza OF
our wealthy classes. In attempt to destroy
this surplus we see another reason for war. These
propositions true, for, as have said. the
aforementioned surplus must be consumed In
order that IT shall be profitable to make another
supply.
Under socialism the worker, owning the means
of production, would consume this suSslus him
self Think what this would mean! Suppose the
workers cf America owned the present wheat
crops. which they produced: why poverty might,
almost, be destroyed might, almost, be thing
of the past Poverty. with all it's resulting evils
Of vice drunkenness crime and misery.
This IS the ideal of International socialism.
May nope that you can find room for this in
your paper and thanking you In advance
Yours truly,

SOCIALISM, WHERE DOES 1T END?

The Vi'oinian prints in another column a
communicated regarding its recent editorial on
socialism. There only or two points
that the Tirgtatan feels called on to make.
Our correspondent undertakes to define So
cialism theory Of political economy. The
FjrgInian was not considering the matter in its
editorial. The veriest anarchist will tell you
he is socialist The modern socialist will
denominate this breed as will any other The
social democrats far removed from the
anarchistie socialists are the Roosevelt and
Taft Republicans and that is some distance.
The point the VrginiaS was making Is fully
borne out by our correspondents position. We
do not know whether he is socialist himself
or not We venture the assertion that he would
rot be able TO agree with half dozen other
socialists as to just what the finer points of
The social theory are. Some socialists go 30
lar and stop. Others have stopped before he has
and others still go further and veer on the brink
Of anarchy. which still others already
disappeared
Where shall the line of government owner
ship be drawn? VIII It be the tip of the tail or
the head Just back of the ears of the owner
ship dog that will be cut off? Our correspondent
raises the point that certain articles will not be
included because they are used privately. but
suppose our typewriters. for instance, should be
held by some socialist to be used publicly in
Producing public documents Suppose our news
papers should be held to be government property
because they disseminate public news? 1t is all
a question of how far you go. And each one
wants to 20 little further or not quite so
far.
We must also disagree with our correspondents
in another purely theoretical proposition. He
holds that the Surplus must be consumed In
order that II shall be profitable to produce an
ether supply" But is not the surplus itself what
makes the supply profitable? It is not for that
merely for livins wage. and shall we deprecate
any system that provides profit?
And there is the question of Almost" This
too is relative term. and this must be deter
mined by the length and the sincerity of each
OF the measures they necessitate.
The field is infinite in It's scope We heartily
agree that socialism in general is quietly and
effectively at work; that 1t viii be one Of the
great factors in future history and that the

President Wilson is not given to lodging dim

the Administrations desires with regard TO a

1t is fair and Just that such tax should be
levied, provided II is fairly distributed. The
presidents statement sets at rest any apprehen-
sion as to the fairness of the measure when
finally shaped. Nobody cares to pay taxes, es-
peeially when they are caused by the inexcus-
able barbarity OF other nations supposed to be
as fully civilized as are we. There is no dodg-
