Socialism 10 the inteilectuai 10
beautiful drcam,s Everybody Is e
share alike and none are to want. Ex-
tremee OF wealth and poverty are &c

To be approximated but the trouble
with the scheme r. that II will not
work When attempted by intellectuals
as has so often been done In the COM
munistic colonies OF the past II always
failed and usually ended IN famine
Storing up food, improving property
accommodating a surplus require self
denial. struggle and sacrifice which
men will not endure except for private
gain. Remove private ownership oil
the fruits OF ones toll and self denial
and men will sit back to 'let George dc
It,"
Russia under the bolsheviki is starv-
ing. Farmers will not risk the pur-
chase Of seed or toll for a season az
their crops so long as there is danger

Chaos and disorder due TO the incom-
potency of the roughnecks who are in
authority has caused the railroads TO
wear out and locomotives TO break
down. Not only are men of property
murdered, women OF refinement and
culture assaulted because of their SUI
perior culture but the crazy advocates
of free love are given official sanction
and the women Of all classes are
urged to breed indiscrimlnately. Cler-
gymen are being killed because they
seek to preserve the sanctity of family
life and women in public refugees where
so many go for soup kitchen support are
compelled to nurse any and all babies
found to be hungry. The purpose is 70
break down mother love and destroy
the family which is the corner stone
of all desire for private property
Even cows kick at stran~e calves nj
these orders. hence the news reports
that the women OF Russia are giving
the bolsheviki trouble.
Private property can not be de-
stroyed without destroying civiliza =
ton. Effort to acquire for ones fam
ily, self denial to accumulate are
primeval motives of human endeaVor
AS the struggle goes on TO climb up
wards civilization progresses. Al
first we banded together in tribes for
mutual protection against common
enemies. From the tribes grew states
and nations. All forms Of cooperative
effort from co-opedative elevator So
cietes TO municipal ownership OF water
works, state institutions for the in
sane, the criminal and the defective
TO national operation of the mail SER
vice are commemorate in so far as they
can succeed. but the motive Is to get
more for the members who cooperate
and not to destroy the reward Of gain
for private endeavor. Disorder and
destruction Of established government
by this war has brought the world
back to defense Of its very foundation,
the right OF possession Of private prop
erty and the bolsheviki are showing
US in Russia how close extreme social
ism comes to anarchy and how quick
ly anarchy can destroy all that man
kind has evolved in thousands Of years
of progress from the cave man to the
cathedrals of modern times. No re-
ligion, no government, no wife, no
family, no property, nothing to- eat
and little to wear. murder, rapine, hun
ger and hell on earth, that is what ii
means for the radical, vagabond mem
bers of society to gain the power thru
extreme bolsheviki socialism to divide
up with those who have property.
