Senator Chamberlain made a few days
ago, saying CONSUMPTION was the only
method to insure preparedness, is
surely driving the people to Socialism,
they will not stand for CONSUMPTION in

Bradford, Pa, May %, 1916.
Editor Daily Ledger:
In our last letter to the Ledger We
referred to a certain element that
would not vote for either of the ole
parties this year at the Presidential
election. We also promised to tell the
readers. of the Ledger, what might be
expected of this dissatisfied element
We have spent about eight days in
Pennsylvania, and some of the larger
towns of Western New York, and
there is one fact that we know beyond
the question of doubt that the politi-
cal leaders of the East so far as the
want either Hughes or Roosevelt as
their candidate, but rather than face
defeat will take either of them. The
Buffalo Express conducted a prefer
entail ballot of a majority of the
counties of New York, by COMPRESSION
al districts and Mr.. Roosevelt proved
to be a much weaker candidate than
Justice Hughes.
The Express also opened ITS col
umns to the voters to express their
views regarding Mr.. Roosevelt's can
didacy. We have never seen a more
bitter announcement of any candidate
for President than those short letters
contained against Mr.. Roosevelt, and
strange to say these denounce-
ments were not as a rule from the
Hypenated American. He was called
the Judas lscariot of the goth century
the wrecker of the Republican party,
the tool of George Perkins and other
corporate manipulators, and one
writer said: Roosevelt is often re-
ferred to as r. II. we would suggest
that Ave more letters be added to T.
r. that will spell in full his true name
TRAITOR"
However after all this bitter express
sion of public opinion, Roosevelt at
Chicago summonded by his Bull Moose
followers will be quantity to reckon
with. Henry Ford is talked of as
leading a peace party, but this talk is
not very likely to materialize, and
In case Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.. Root
should be nominated, leaves this dis
satisfied element to be placed in some
position either active or inactive.
Many of these dissatisfied voters
will line up with the Socialist party
not that they have ever given social-
ism a real analytical thought, for So
cialism is really a scientific study, but
for the simple reason that these voters
are factor in the makeup of the po-
litical world and want TO be counted.
What is socialism and what does II
stand for? To answer these questions
and do justice 10 the Socialist, would
require much time, and also require a
much ADLER writer than my humble
self However we will say that many
people OF considerable ability have a
very erroneous conception OF the

cialism. Very many believe that So
cialism is anarchy. This is a great
mistake, anarchy does not believe in
statute laws, Socialism believes in
law. Anarchy believes in the bullet
Anarchy believes in society ruling It.
self independent of law. Socialism be-
lieves society should be ruled only by
just and equitable laws. Socialism be-
lieves that commercial wars is a
crime against humanity Socialism
believes that if the brother
hood of man was recognized the world
over, the Nations of all the earth
would disarm, and the people would
learn war no more, to this end they
are lending all their energies. This
very briefly is their moral creed but
how to bring about these happy con-
ditions involves the question of po-
litical and economic management of
governments. Some believe that So
cialism fayors an equal division of all
the wealth of the country, and the
writer once asked a very intelligent
Socialist if this was not what the So
cialist wanted. No, my brother, you
have gotten hold of the wrong idea Of
Socialism he said. We Socialists don't
believe in dividing at all, don't you be-
lieve that you are entitled to all the
yealth that you create by the labor of
your hands? Yes, We replied Well
he said as he proceeded to take little
pamphlet from his pocket, Do you
know how much wealth was created
by the hand of labor in 1909, and what
each laborer would have had il he had
gotten the wealth he created We
confessed we did not know Well he
continued referring to the government
statistics in his little book, labor Gre
ated in 1909 If equally divided, $3.50
and the workers who created this
wealth received for his share about
$500. No indeed we Socialists do not
believe in dividing, we want to stop
dividing. The invention of machinery,
the development of manufactures, and
the rapid growth Of cities all tend to
concentrate men in larger masses for
industrial activities, and at the same
time to displace hand labor As the
capacity of the factories increased, the
shoe maker, the tailor. and all other
mechanics Of hand labor found himself
out of employment, and this brought
about conditions called the labor prob
lem, for with the growth of the fac
tory, the invention machinery. and the
combination capital, has mace tAe
worker more and more dependent up
on his employer, until today ii is often
said the man that owns your job owns
you.
The man today who works in the
factory only learns 20 do one kind OF
work. in making machinery he learns
TO make only one part, he is never a
finished mechanic. so when he cannot
find labor for the particular work he
can do he is out o employment

BOGUS COLLECTOR
PLEADS GUILTY
Fraudulently Obtained Money in
Connection with Tribune
Magazine Offer.

David Henderson. who for several
months has been making fraudulent col
lectons in connection with the maya
zine offer of The Tribune, yesterday
pleaded guilty TO charge Of petty
larceny before Justices Russell, Herr
man and Freschi, in Special Sessions,
and was remanded for sentence next
Monday He was arrested several
days ago in the Office Of Lindenmeyr &
Sons, 81 Blocker Street. whore he was
attempting TO make q collection.
Henderson ut one time was en-
ploycd in the subscription department
of The Tribune and in that capacity
managed 90 obtain contract blanks re
lating 90 the magazine offer. He was
dropped from the department last DC
tober. and Immediately began canvass
ing Staten Island. Brooklyn, parts Of
New jersey, New Haven and certain
sections Of New York for combined
subscriptions TO The Tribune and TO a
list of magazines. Under the names
Of Henderson. Thompson, c. +. Carter,
!. and +. Daley, J. Johns, L. J. Hill,
McKeough O'Ncil and Earle he and
his confederates induced persons 90
sign the subscription blanks and peck
eted the 25 cents they paid as a de
posit In many cases he agreed 20
send magazines not mentioned in the
contract. and collected larger sums, al
though IL was plainly stamped on the
face OF the contract that the collector
was not 10 be paid more than % cents.
The complaints of those who signed
Henderson's contracts led 20 his ar
rest All Of these contracts have been
satisfactorily adjusted. and II there are
others which have not been reported
90 The Tribune Office, It IS expected
that the subscribers will make the fact
known. so that there may be an in
media adjustment. Attention IT,
called to the fact that the collectors
are not privileged TO make agreements
for the delivery Of magazines not ex-
pressly named in the printed subscrip-
tion blanks, and that under no circum-
stances should the collector be paid
more than % cents.
While Henderson's swindling was
limited to very small sums in each
case, every effort was put forth 10 To-
cate him and place him under arrest.
Through The Tribune representatives
it became known in the Office of Lin
denmyr & Sons that such a man was
being sought. and the police were no
tilted. Henderson at the time Of his
arrest had some of the subscr ption
blanks with him, and when he was con-
fronted with other evidence he made
complete confession. II is expected
that another arrest on similar charges
will be made soon.

Mrs. Patterson continues to appear

the baron could not be found yester-
