BROTHER JONATHAN

Brother Jonathan-However much you may think of your Socialism, don't think much of it.
 Uncle Sam That certainly is great misfortune.
 B. J.-Socalism is not humane
 though.
 L. S-What is humane enough?
 B. J.-Communism.
 U. S.-How do you make that out? B. J.-Isn't the motto of Socialism ITO each according to his deed's?"
 L. S.-Say it is. B. J.--Wel Communism's motto is, TO each according to his own deeds" !" I cal that infinitely more humane. U. S.-Apart from the relative hu- maness of the two notices, I would say that you are wasting your love on phrases of no practical importance.
 B. J.-Isn't it practical whether the movement one associates with is harsh or a kind one?
 U. S.-True enough. But all that has no application to the case. It is not a question of willingness or un- willingness to be kind; the question is one of power to be kind. See here. If you have five children, all equal strong, healthy, and intelligent, and !, mt h1IT0 n can get along well with is one dollar day, and all that ycu make, all that you can make, is two dollars day would you, with these two dollars a day income, furnish one dollar a day apiece to your five children? B. J.-no.
 |. U. S.-You may be short three dol lars a day, even if you could get along with nothing.
 B. J.-Couldn't do it. U. S.-Could you justly be said to be harsh, inhumane and all that because you do not provide for pour children "to each according to his needs?" B. J.-Why no; if I can't l cant. | U. S.-Just so. Now, suppose again, you have five children, four of them heathy, strong, intelligent. One dol lar apiece is needed by them; and a fifth child, that is a cripple and sickly, and he, to be kept at all comfortable, would need five dollars, while your in- come was seven dollars a day. What would you do then?
 B. J.--I still won't go round.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-02-20

U. S.-Could you afford the crippled child five dollars day?
 B. J.-That would leave only two for the other four, not counting my self. No, I hardly could.
 U. S.-You would let the we'll ones have less than one dollar so as to af- ford the cripple a little more, but yet he fould not be treated according to his needs" eh?
 B. J.-No, but that would not be my fault. I could not do better.
 U. S.-Now, let us suppose third case: you have five children, all five healthy. robust, intelligent; three dol lars a day is needed to keep them up; your income is one hundred dollars a day
 B. J.-How much?
 U. S.-One hundred day.
 B. J.-I wish it were fifty; I wish it were twenty five; I wish
 U S.-Never mind what you wish; it is only an illustration. With that amount of revenue would you keep your children down to an expenditure that is according to their needs?"
 B. J.-No I'd let them have more
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-02-20

ber.-Weekly People.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-02-20
IT. s.-Just SO; and why?

U. Ss-J uSL SO, c11lu WHY
 B. J.-Because I could afford it
 U. S.-Now, that's all that there is in these notices. It is not a case of humaneness in the one nor harshness in the other. The one which you call humane" proceeds from and toward an inspiration, regardless of the ma terial power to carry it out; the other, which you call harsh" proceeds from the material powers, and accommodates it's aspirations to the capacity to reach them. Do you understand?
 B. J.|-I-think I do.
 U. S.-Today the issue between the two mottoes is a volcano burned out. It is known that the wealth producible today is so large that each can have enormously more than his needs. The mechanical development of production has thus removed the basic difference of the two notices. In so far as the one represented "Communism' and the other" Socialism," the two are one today. Your objection is a back num- Der.
