VICTORY OUT OF DEFEAT

If the drubbing the Germans have
given Russia makes the latter gov
eminent more amenable to reason in
dealing with labor conditions in Rus
sian territory, and particularly in Rus
sian dependencies, civilization will
have achieved something Russia's
treatment of the Jews has been abom-
Unable. And almost equally unjustifi-
able has been the way Finland has
been served.
Once Finland had universal suff-
rage, including votes for women, and
system of proportional representa-
ton. There was both political liberty
and in great measure industrial free
dom. Russia has taken these away
until today there is no constitution
and no liberty.
1t is hoped that in the peace con
ference at the termination of the pres
ent war, at least France and England
will insist that Russia accord more
liberal treatment to the Jews and the
Firms.

SOCIALISM DEFINED.

The first constituent element of
socialism may, therefore, be stated to
be a substitution of collective property
in the great material instruments of
production in the place of private
property to such an extent that pub
lie property shall dominate the world
work. The second constituent element
is private property in income and pri-
vate property in those goods which
are used for the sake of enjoyment
and not for the acquisition of an in
come by rent or hire to others.
Modern socialism demands collec-
tive management of each industry,
and it demands that all the industries
should be associated together, in or
der thereby to secure perfect system,
harmony, and unity of effort.
Finally, socialism means the dis
tribuption of income by some common
authority.-The New International
Cyclopedia

cents a crate, and the consumer pays
10 cents for four of them. And 81 it
goes.
Neither the producer nor the con-
sumner is getting the benefit of the
abundant supply. Vast quantities of
vegetables are left to rot in the gar
dens, or are fed to farm animals,
while tens of thousands are pinched
for lack of them.
OF course, the evil is seen at it's
worst in New York, where the middle
men have a stronger grip on the. mar
ket than anywhere else. There are
few facilities there for the farmer and
gardener to reach the buying public
directly, and the public itself encour-
ages high prices by buying in small
quantities. The parcel post would i'm
prove the situation, but it makes slow
Roadway against the inertia of Gus
tom.
In smaller communities, more di-
rectly in touch with farms and truck
gardens, housewives are not so help
less, prices are reasonable, and the
producer gets a fairer share of the
profit. But still there is room for i'm
provement everywhere. The equit-
able distribution of food products is
the biggest economic problem in
America.

SOCIALISM. +"

Socialism is word having two dis
tinct but related meanings: primarily
it is used as the name of a certain
philosophy of history and method of
Interpreting and analyzing social
phenomena. In the second place,
since this philosophy and method have
as one of their principal conclusions
that society is evolving toward a CO.
operative social stage, the word Isl
used to designate a cooperative social
organization, where the means for the
production and distribution of wealth
are the collective property of the work
ing class. while the goods which are
to be consumed become the private
property of the individual workers.

cana.

must realize that merely to live IN

for your masters ideas" is the real
dope. Now get this from the Everett
Herald:
Life surely is not merely in living
with comfort, AS though to be were

the ancient world. pining for some
thing beyond the ease of his island
home.
ideas are greater than life. Ideas,
instead of giving Lovejoy life Of
ease, cost him his life-made of him
the martyr that inspired great cause
and made 1t victorious one.
''It is a hard choice for man to
choose between his ideas and his life,
but all time has shown that he who
chooses life at the expense of the
ideas he has held dear saves his life
at the expense Of his manhood. Pos
sibly the time may come when men
no longer will face that choice, either
in war or in peace, but 1t can come
only when there no longer is any
choice between good and evil, for all
will be good. But until that time
comes is it anything to mems credit,

save their comfort and their skins by
being cringers. trimmers. opportunists,
losing the spiritual and lasting things
of life for the sake of those that are

Socialists should be the first to com
prehend the meaning OF the anti-Ger

OF being Germanic, then 1t must be
taboo and driven out. 1t is the case
notably In the peace meetings that

Why should Socialists who believe

work for peace there also.
There Is no excuse unless the pub.
licity campaign has had such an ef
feet upon them that they are afraid
OF word, and the news that has been
so carefully spread about the split in
the German Social Democracy has dis
couraged them. Hitherto we have had
to get along without much news in
the capitalist papers. Now when it
comes, we should form our own esti-
mate about 1t, and base that estimate
upon the motives that actuate these
papers in giving it to u.s.
We will then find that the sole de-
sire they have Is to injure, not help
US, and that they impartially hate both
factions Of the German movement, but
will, IL they can, use them against one
another.

REAL SOLUTION OF
CHILD LABOR PROBLEM

Well stated are the points in the
following friendly criticism of the eff
forts Of those who try to secure pallia.
tive legislation instead of fundamental
reform. II is from letter by Fred
s. Wallace, one of Ohio's well-informeo
newspapermen, written to an official
OF an organization devoted to pushing
child labor legislation.
Nothing can be clearer to me than
that basic evil of modern civilization
Is in the vast majority of instances in
voluntary poverty. This poverty Is
the logical and inevitable result of a
system which enables a small and
constantly decreasing percentage OF
the people to own the land, land the
machineryO and by such ownership
to compel the great majority of these
fellows to labor for them on their own
terms. More and more these few are
appropriating the fruits of other mems
labor in the form Of ground rents land
wage-slavery.-Ed)
Year by year industry becomes
more efficient, yet year by year pow
ing intelligence of the people there
are signs of healthy revolt against
our woefully unfair distribution Of
wealth. Nothing will delay revolt
more than n mass of Intellectual legis-
lation aimed at symptoms, rather than
the disease. Such remedies as child
labor laws, minimum wage laws, state
pensions, income taxes, etc, seem
merely calculated to dissipate revolt
and end in ludicrous demands for the
physical punishment of individuals.

fold more from lawmakers than from
Iawbreakers.
Parents under normal conditions can
be trusted to give their children care
and supervision. Only when parents
are systematically oppressed and
starved by larcenous laws is the in
stinct to do this undermined. With
seIf-empIoyment as a potential alter
native for every worker, child labor
would automatically disappear in a
year. With resources to support
billion people, there is no good rea-
son why selfemployment should be
less available than it was a century
