Believe Not Foes, But Investigate
For Yourself.

No really intelligent, right thinking
and conscientious person will believe
the statements of those who oppose
Socialism.
II is foolish and absurd to listen
/ TO an enemy of either a man or So
cialism, and to believe all this enc
my says, without an impartial in
vestigation and proof in the case. An
enemy will never state facts, or tell
the whole truth.
/ If you wish to know what a man
is go TO his friends to ascertain what
he is. If you desire to know the
principles, program and philosophy
of Socialism, read the books of So
cialism written by Socialists, or ask
Socialists; but never seeek know
ledge of Socialism from the state
ments of capitalists, politicians,
preachers or priests, who are oppos-
ed to Socialism. They will not tell
you the truth.
To discuss what is false, or what
does not relate to Socialism or what
is altogether foreign to the Socialist
principles and platform, is useless
and absurd. Besides the statements
that Socialists want to divide up"
money and property to equalize
everybody; or that Socialists favor
free love-" or that Socialists are
infdels; or that Socialism is anarchy
and atheism and against religion and
the home, are not believed in intelli-
gent and well-informed neighbor
hoods. Consequently, wherever
-hese lying. foolish and absurd state
ments are made (and believed) it
may be set down that that neighbor-
hood. is densely ignorant. Further
more, allssuch statements are a re-
lection on the intelligence of the
community. and for this reason
should be rejected.
The enemys of Socialism. know
ing they cannot meet and discredit
he truth and real purpose of Social
ism, by reason and argument, resort
o all sorts of lies, subterfuges, So
phistries, Misrepresentation. evas-
ions and garbled and false statements
in their vain and foolish attempts to
deceive and to delude the intellec-
ually awakening and revolutionary
working class.
Socialism. which embraces the
highest ideas of freedom and demo-
tracy, and exemplifies the nOblest
conceptions of life and the Hottest
ideals of human love and society, is
the one mighty force which shall
liberate man from mental, moral and
physical bondage, and put him on
the high plane of the Religion of
God and Humanity, of Justice and
Equity, of Reason and Right. and of
Rectitude and Righteousness in all
things Social, Industrial and Politi-
cal.
Yours for Human Brotherhood,
and the Liberty, Fraternity and
Equality of Man,

A California Anti Suffragist View

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Whatever value there is in the argu-
ments over the suffrage question, here is one
most forcibe 20 persons of calm judgment:
For several years 100000 persons year
have come TO us from foreign countries,
mostly from Southern Europe, many not able
to read and write even their own language,
the women less educated than the men. Most
Of them have no conception at present Of real
republcansm. Many of the older ones refuse
to learn the new language, depending upon
their children for communication with Ameri-
cans.
II the right to vote is given to them i'm
mediately, wnat then? Their vote will
counterbalance that of the intelligent edu-
Gated suffragist women who are pushing this
through now.
Il is true, an ignorant vote could be bought,
but would the sufragists buy it,
Republics stand only on education and
honor. A READER FOR FIFTY YEARS.

An Idle Scarecrow.
Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: A story is told of a gentleman who
dropped in at a friends house and was sur
prsed to find him reading letter aloud,
while the foreign maid-servant held her
hands over his ears The maid explained:
"Ay bane got letter from my young man,
and ay not know how to read, SO Mr.. G. he
read him for me-"
But why do you hold his ears ?"
"Ay not like TO have him hear what IS in
dat letter"
This story is commended to certain OPP
ponents of equal suffrage who profess great
alarm lest women as jurors should have to
listen 10 offensive testimony. Since the re-
ports of trials of this kind are spread broad
cast, to be read by the public at large, and
even by young boys and girls. It need be no
great cause for concern if a few women OF
mature years should occasionally hear the
same things from jury box.
Old lawyers have said that in cases Of that
sort there ought TO be some women on the
jury as protection to men unjustly accused
pretty adventures can sometimes pull the
wool over the eyes Of jury of men, when a
jury Of her own sex would see through her
at once. ALICE STONE BLACKWELL.

UNNATURAL NEUTRALITY
Honor and Even Self Interest
Should Compel Us to Act.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Let me express profound approval Of
the noble and wise letter of Arthur Stan
wood Pier in your issue Of to-day.
Our government in it's desire to remain
neutral, has experimental too long in a most
unnatural neutrality. and has endured CON
slant contumely and numberless afronts and
injuries from the Teutons. 1t has uttered no
single word of protest against their unspeak-
able outrages, excepting only those relating
TO direct injuries to our own citizens.
At this moment. so far as the war on land
is concerned, the situation is appalling to all
who believe in the principles of that liberty
and representative government which Amer
lea inherited from England and confirmed b!
the aid of France.
Opposed TO that liberty and in favor Of
world despotism are arrayed the three Tur-
keys. All mankind faces their not impossible
victory.
Then would they be swift to ravish and
loot America and add her scalp to the CORY
trophies now at their belts
Neutrality, at its best, is a compound of
cowardice, lack of patriotism and overselfish
expediency, for it is too prone to ignore
right, reason, honor, justice and maniness,
and to a grave extent permits or sanctions
wrong unreason, dishonor, injustice and all
unmanliness.
Shall America have no part in this, the
most stupendous conflict can conceive, in
behalf Of the greatest earthly boons-liberty
and individualsm?
No word of condemnation for the three
Turks? No word or act of sympathy for the
-. ~, ss,l for ANA
lean liberty as for their own?
II they win will they not hold us in just
contempt for our base naction?
If they lose-my God | dare not contem-
plate the horrors on Belgian and French
soil repeated on a vaster and more ravenous
scale in our beloved land
Does not every principle Of right, honor
and even self-interest call upon America 10
do her share? Will our government con
tinue to be supine, to shut its eyes to the
sword now over our heads, and do nothing
at all but whimper with Bernstorff and pray
God to soften the hearts of those who saw
agely menace the civilization and liberty OF
mankind?
To strike hard and strike first is the chief
law for fighting peoples. 1t is not within a
private citizens function to prescribe the de-
tails of action.
But surely, most surely, the administration
has or can command sufficient mentality TO
give to the world the American estimate OF
the status quo, and all it means, and pledge
itself to use any and all means it can employ
to avert the calamity and menace of the Teu-
tonic effort to drive liberty from the face OF
the earth
England has benefited by coalition Cab
met of all parties. Why may not the United
States proftaby do the same thing, and
secure the aid of some of her great sons who
are not members of the Presidents owr
party?

German Villanies and Others.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your motto, First TO last the Truth. :
evidently does not mean "the whole truth
never see any reference in your paper TO
the frightful atrocities committed by the
Russians during their invasion of Eastern
Prussia. which are undoubtedly true, as !
have never seen them denied by the Russians.
On the other hand you are forever carping
about the atrocities said to have been com
mitted by the Germans in Belgium. These
were denied. not only by Germans, but also
by neutral persons, such as the American
newspaper CORES pondents who were with the
German army. II seems very significant that
most Of these tales are about cutting off of
hands, which was favorite amusement of
those dear Belgians in the Congo.
You often print letters from people who
want to know why you keep silent about the
outrages committed by the Russians upon the
Jews, but you do not answer this and similar
questions. Why don't you tell the truth and
say that il is because the bloody Russians are
fighting against Germany? Ii you cannot be
fair at least be honest.
! should like 20 ask you another question.
Suppose Turkey or some ether power were to
protest against the burning and hanging OF
colored men, women and children by mobs ir
this country without any of the murderers
usually prominent" citizens) being pun
ished. what would our answer be?

Why Not?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | see by the papers that under Mr..
Osborne's reform" rule at Sing Sing in
mates break one another's heads, indulge in
immoral habits and suffer persecution
through close confinement in their cells with
out the slightest interference from the au-
thorities.
Why hasn't Mr.. Osborne who has so much
time to denounce the "old system" invoked
the laws aid to punish law-breakers inside
the prison, instead of waiting for his SUI
perior to call in the District Attorney?
believe in prison reform. but | cannot con-
done lawlessness and indecency committed
in its name. Mr.. Osborne may have done i
lot to advertise Sing Sings convicts. but APP
parently has done little 10 reform them.
Reports that one of them has been locked
up seven weeks for accusing the warden of
letting him steal into the lighthouse i'm
presses the onlooker that the ghost OF the
"old system" with its revengeful punish
ments, still turks about the place Why not
genuine prison reform? FAIR PLAY.

are grevng so much about the violation OF
Belgium's neutrality, what do you think about
the violation of Greece's neutrality? Was
the taking Of the Canal Zone violation Of
neutrality? What about the treaties with
the Indians, which were considered scraps
Of paper" by the United States government!
If you would stop your German batting long
enough to answer questions put to you you
would satisfy some others besides those who
write letters praising your anti-German edi-
torials. 1t is your privilege to form and ex-
press your own opinion about the war, but at
