SOCIALISTIC GERMANY

We read of German Socialists as opposed to German
conservatives and other political groups of Germans.
As a matter of fact the whole scheme of existance in
Germany appears to be essentially socialistic.
At first socialism and autocraey may seem to be
strange companions. Under the one system the conn
muntty rules, and under the other an individual is su-
preme. The two systems may not seem to .harmonize.
But the American reader must understand that the
thing which he sees about him under the name of
Socialism is a very different thing from the socialism of
Germany. Here the name has been used to characterize
almost every revolutionary movement, and some of the
groups known as Socialists in this country are commit
ted to principles and policies to which other groups,
similarly named, are utterly opposed.
German socialism is a different thing. It is distinct
and cohesive. And its policies are, in the main, based
on the theories evolved by men who, whether mistaken
or not, were as a rule deep and conscientious thinkers.
But German socialism and German autocracy rest
on the same basic conception of society, namely, the
supremacy of the state and the utter subordination of the
individual. Under the autocratic form which exists the
kaiser is the state, as Louis XIV of France declared
himself to be. Into that scheme the conception OF divine
authority directly bestowed on an individual enters
largely, and to this conception the HohenZollern mon
arch~is sincerely committed.
But were the kaiser dethroned tomorrow and a new
government created in accordance with the socialistiG
tude of the German people toward their government,
Under the present form the people exist for the sake
Of the king-ruled state. Under the sohialistic scheme they
would exist for the sake Of the popularity governed state.
In each case the individual is nothing, the state every
thing.
1t is difficult for those who have been reared under
the influence of Anglo-Saxon ideals, to understand this
point of view. The Anglo-Saxon conception is that the
state exists for the individual, and that government is
established for him. The Declaration of Independence,
which is distinctly an American document, sets forth this
conception very clearly when it~declares men to be free
and equal, and to be possessed of certain inalienable
rights, and that for the protection of these rights govern
ments were established among men. In other words,
government exists in order that the individual may be
served. In Germany the individual exists in order that
the state may be magnided, and the substitution Of a
socialistic for an autocratic form of government would
not change this conception one whit.
Sometimes we discuss the creation Of a German re-
public as the successor to the present discredited auto
cracy. It would be an Improvement. But it would not
be such a democracy as exists in this republic, in the
French republic, or under the British monarchy. A
people trained from their very birth in the conception
of state supremacy must retain that conception, even
though they change their form of government.

OKLAHOMA AND NORTH DAKOTA

Evidence regularly introduced in court shows that
agitators who were members or officers of the I. W. w.
circulated gross falsehoods about the CONSUMPTION law
among illiterate farmers in Oklahoma, and, under the in
fuence Of the alarm thus created, several thousand OF
these men participated in armed rebellion against the
authority OF the United States government, with the re-
suit that they find themselves held to answer in court for
their ofense. shrewd men, without scruples of any kind,
deliberately misled others for their own profit, and the
victims have been the chief sufferers.
The farmers of North Dakota are not initerate. They
are not iliterate even in the modified sense in which the
word is doubtless used to describe the Oklahomans, for
they are not only able to read, but they do read habitual-
ly. But there are thousands of men in North Dakota
who are poorly informed because their range of reading
is small, and their reading matter is confined largely to
publications whose purpose is neither to convey infor-
nation nor to stimulate reasoning, but rather to excite
itually, but they do read quantities of matter Of exactly
the same class which is published for the same purpose.
The cardinal principle of the I. W. w. as stated in
Its official literature is that wage earners and employers
have nothing in common The interests of the two are
held to be antagonistic, and the employer is held up as
necessarily the enemy of the laborer. The relations Of
the two are described as those Of tyrant and victim.
With that doctrine accepted almost everything else that
is evil follows. Thousands of northwestern farmers have
been fed on the doctrine that 1.-THE men with whom
they deal, those to whom they sell their products
and from whom they buy their supplies have nothing IN
common. They have been told that they constitute a
special lass,@hounded defrauded and oppressed by all
who come in contact with them. With the notifications
necessary to make it apply to those to whom it is ad-
dressed, that is exactly the 1. W. w. doctrine. And to
men whose minds had thus. been prepared for their fur
Their work came professional agitators bent on the same
errand which sent the 1. w. w. agitators to Oklahoma,
the errand of disloyalty and mischief; and from the lips
of these agitators these farmers have listened to the
preaching of the same doctrine that was preached in
the southern state, the doctrine that the American gov
eminent is a government organized for the oppression
and exploitation of the poor man for the aggradizement
of the rich.
The ~agitators have not undertaken in North Dakota
to carry on a campaign of physical violence against the
government. They understood that such a plan would
be impracticable here because they were dealing with
different material. But in Oklahoma and in North Da-
kota the principle and the purpose have been the same,
to mislead the people, to play upon their passions and
the lurch. F. ..@

TOWNLEY VERSUS IA TOILETTE

Mr. IoWnley Is trying desperately to eYade FeSpOn-
sibility for the La Toilette address in st. Paul. He told
the Minnesota Public Safety commission the other day
that he regretted the character of La Follette's remarks,
and that he was not responsible for them. He declared
further that when a rumor was heard that La Toilette
intended to talk on the war, he was waited on by a dele
cation to whose members he gave assurance that he
would talk on the topic originally assigned to him and
would not discuss the war, and on that understanding
he was permitted to speak.
All this is quite interesting, and II may be true, in
so far as literal exactness is concerned. But there arise
in connection several questions.
La Toilette was pledged not to talk about the war
In Heavens name, about what was he to talk? The war
is, the greatest fact in existence today. 1t overshadows
everything else. It affects the price of everything that
we produce or use. It affects the progress of commune
ties. It enters into the domestic life of every family

terest to the people without discussing the war its in,
war was either the direct topic of every address made al
the st. Paul meeting or the issues growing out OF II
furnished the basis for the remarks. And yet La Toilette
was not expected to discuss the warl
In addition to the fact that no speaker can today
stand before an American audience and deliver an ad
dress on a live current topic without discussing war is
sues and revealing something of his own attitude toward
the. war and its problems, we have the further fact that
when the people who called the st. Paul meeting invited
La Toilette to speak they knew him to be the most con.
spicious and vociferous of all those who have discussed
the war, and who have declared themselves in opposition
to it, and to the policies Of the American government ir
general. Yet they were panied and a%stonished, when he
spoke on the war! Did they expect him to discuss the

1t is, perhaps, a mistake to draw too many con-
clusions under the circumstances. The appearance Of
the two groups Of soldiers on parade can scarcely be
used as indicative Of national CHARACTERISTICS. When
the English soldiers parade the streets Of their cities
they were at home. They We're doing Just what they
knew thousands of their %neighbors were doing. They felt
sure Of the sympathy of the crowds. They were pre-
pared to chaff and be chaffed. The Americans WERE in
a foreign land. Their coming had been widely her

only the people but their customs were strange to them.
And it was the most natural thing in the world for men
who, among their own people would have been free and
easy, to be a little stiff and formal on their arriving amid
those new surroundings. -
