SOCIALISM G. J N AND | M
PRUsSAN|sM
AS BETWEEN THE TWO EVILS,
LET US CHOOSE NEITHER.

For years the socialist propaganda,
speaking from a street corner soap
box, the professors chair and the edi-
torial tripod have been telling US
about the millennium that would
come with socialism. It is unneces-
sary longer to theorize about what So
cialism is. Socialists Of about all the
fifty-seven varieties have ruled Rus
sia for more than year. They have
MT produced millennium. They have
created a hellennium. It was easy
enough to theorize / the perfect
state. To create it is . different job.
The Russian socialists. again have
taught us this. The Kerenskys and
the Trotskys are entitled to the thanks
of the world at least on the count of
having permitted as to. see socialism
with the camoulfage removed.
Herman Bernstein, a special CORES
pondent of the New York Herald has
recently told, in a remarkably gra-
phic way, the story of unhappy Rus
sia's undoing at the hands of dema-
gogues and doctrinaries, the most dan
gerous enemies Of freedom and justice
the world over. Russia, is, he says,
"in chains again, in tears of despair" +"
Led astray by theorists, zealots and
experimentalists, but few sincere,
most of them selfseeking charlatans,
brazen grafters and cowardly little
tyrants," Russia has reached the
place "where justice is a mockery and
liberty travesty." Russia has been
Ilynched by a mob.
The press is muzzled, writes Mr.
Bernstein, free speech is unknown, the
power of the representatives of the
people has been destroyed. Small self
ish adventures in power always seek
to cover their own dishonesty and in.
competency by the tyranical suppress
sion Of criticism Of opposition. The
people afe pathetic in their apathy
The factories are idle, industries anc
banks are paralyzed, only the author
|ity of the gun and the bludgeon is rec
Iognized. "Naive, childish theorists
|fanatical maniacs and deliberate trai
tors have set Russia afame with tn
passions of hatred andfixil war;" TIL,
very ideals of the socialism professet
by Lenine and Trotsky have received
their most deadly blow, the politica
has been trampled under its most ter
rible tyranny. The eyes of the peopl
are slowly opening. A day Of retribu
tion is ahead. More suffering, lie
ahead for the Russian millions.
Does all this bring no lesson to tn
\ American people? Our own bolshev
lists bolshevists of the political barrel
head, the professors rostrum, the edi
torial chair, the lecturers platform
have been busy and blatant for mum
ber of years. Trotsky's East Sid
cellar is not nearer to Russia than i
was to the United States when this en-
venomed preacher of class hatre,
wearing the garb Of altruism, was poi
soning the minds Of Americans not s.
very long ago. Trotsky has wrecke,
lhis great tragedy upon another peo
|ple. How pathetic that Russia, hav
ing so long been the victim of auto
cracy should become the tortured spoi
Of mobocracy! People must, like in
dividuals, pay the penalty Of their ow1
failure to strive not only .valiantly
but unselfishly and intelligently TO

Wethersfeld when he was IL years
OF age. Today Mr.. Goodrich is sur
prising1y hale and hearty and works
about his home with an enthusiasm
which would make many a younger
man envious.
Mr.. Goodrich built the house he
row occupies in 1856 and at the time
he purchased his property says he
could have bought all of Arch street
for 500 an acre. Of the nine chill
dren in the Goodrich family, the
Arch street man is the only one llv-

smith by trade. but later learned the
rattern making business and went to
work for P. & F. Corbin in 1851
For 25 years he was in charge of the
pattern making department there and
remained in the same concern for
fifty years, when he was given pen
sion.
Mr.. Goodrich takes great pride IN
the fact that during the so years he
was at the factory he was never late
in the morning and did not lose a
single week because of illness.
