That familiar saying. Like be-
gets like" is OF far wider applica-
ton than many people suspect. True
in the physical realm. ii Is equally
true in the realm OF the mental and
the spiritual.
II amounts. indeed. to a mental
and spiritual law. the operation OF
which largely determines a mans
success or failure.
Many a man OF inferior natural
talent has achieved a real success
simply because. consciously or un-
consciously, he has so ordered his
life that the law of like begetting
like has operated in his favor.
In all his undertakings he has
kept a serene confidence in the
good will and sincerity OF his fell
low men.

Gals, then by state headquarters, and
finally by the national office.
The nomination of Benson by Socialists
means the first victory for anti-prepared-
ness within party, too.
The New York Post sees in the NOM
ination of Benson proof that Socialist
sentiment is overwhelmingly against the
militaiist position taken by Charles Ed
ward Russell and other Socialist leaders
in moment of panic.
If the other parties should fail to re-
spond TO the anti-preparedness senti-
ment there is in the country, there will
be nothing for the supporters of anti
paredness to do but vote for the Socialist
candidate. as matter of principle.
In which even the vote for Benson is
going to provide us with some startling
figures.
Another thing that is going to add to
the Socialist vote this year is the fact
that the general public has been educat-
ed beyond the point of looking upon a
Socialist as of fire-eating propensities and
dangerous person in the community.
Benson's writings nave had much to do
in changing the public mind on this
point, too.
He has made it clear for those who
were once ignorant enough to Shudder at
the word Socialism" that socialism is
not at all to be feared, because it cannot
come until place has been made for it
and not until it has been invited-that
socialism is only cure for nations
political diseases.
Benson will not be elected, of course,
but if the Democrats and Republicans can
succeed as the Socialists have in naming
man who so earnestly committed to
loftiest principles Of party, and so sin
cerely solicitous for the common good Of
the country's people, the voters will not
be able to go far wrong this November

n 1912, 913,155.
This remarkable increase in the Social
4 ~ vote is attributed by some to the
{ Ioadership of Debs and the fact of his
{ association with labor.
