says that he has been studying So
cialism for four years. Yet he say
that he can't see anything about i
that looks like principle, science, O
philosophy.
Poor unfortunate fellow. | al
ways feel sorry for those who can
learn. / have seen a number of pu
pills in school who were dull, but
never saw one who couldn't learr
something about the principle of 6
subject within four years. I feal
that the dear old brothers head will
be as bald as a bat before he car
master whole Socialist philosophy.
Bro. Tinsley says that 1T Social
ISM does seem to have a program
and that program seems to me to be
/ utterly to annihilate the principles OF
peace on earth and good will among
men," Bro. Tinsley will you please
tell the readers of this paper how
Socialism would disturb the peace
when there is but little. if any, to
disturb. Can there be much good
will among men when over two
thirds of the world is at war? The
face of the earth is being washed
with human blood. Millions of men
are trying to murder each other.
They are fighting on the land and
on the sea. They are fighting in the
air and in the sea. Millions of men
have kissed their loved ones their
last good bye. Satan has opened
wide the gates of hell and mill
ions of men are marching in. Yet
Bro. Tinsley would have you believe
that Socialism would annihilate
peace
The Brother says that we (Owen,
Cundiff and u differ so widely on
the very fundamentals of Socialism
He also said that he couldn't see the
principles of Socialism. Brother.
if you can't see the principles of So
cialism then you can't see its fun
damentals. The fact of the matter
is that we Socialists differ on reli-
gion in some respects. Yet. we agree
that all public utilities should be
publicly owned, all private things
should be privately owned. The pro-
testant and Catholic Republicans
disagree on religion, yet they agree
on protective tariff.
l want to inform the gentleman
at Simmons that Socialism deals
with earthly affairs. Christianity
deals with heavenly things. They
in no way conflict with each other.
Socialism in operation would be
Christianity applied to industrial af-
fairs. The Brother is almost com
pletely off of the subject. He has
put on wings and flew away to heav-
emily things. He is mixed up terri

years to get Strengthened out again.

yet he has lodged them all. chal-
lenge him to fold his wings and come
back to solid earth again. to debate
the subject. Resolved, that the
principles of the Socialist party, If
carried out, would greatly benefit

A brave dog will fight when he is
challenged. 1t liz the cowardly cur
that tucks his tail and barks at you
from a distance.
If the Brother won't argue politics
he ought never to have jumped on
the Socialists. II he wants to argue
religion, will sick a Methodist
preacher on him.

Bro. Tinsley for the purpose of en-

him back on the political field where
we can advance some sound politi-

that we thrash this subject out on or
