THEY NEED A NEW NAME.

There are a great many different
varieties OF socialists, They range
from the earnest, quiet, even humor-
Gus or poetic workers in the great
cause Of human welfare, such as the
late william Norris and the very
much alive Bernard Shaw in England
or John Spargo and Charles Edward
Russell in this country, clear down to
extremists in the way OF syndicalism
and the T. w. w.
In America distinct cleavage came
in the socialist ranks with the en-
trance OF America into the war The
socialist party committed itself 10
doctrines which the quiet Clear head
ed socialists could uot, either in 10y
atty to their country or in ordinary
common sense, approve. So these sane
folk who care deeply for the welfare
OF humanity who believe it can be
brought about by the principle Of fra
ternal cooperation rather than that OF
unrestricted competition, got out Of
the socialist party or were thrown out.
The word socialism no longer car
Ties a respectable connotati0n
And here are quite a number of SEN
sible. forward looking Americans who
want to help their country, who are
doing it in every way they can, who
are tarred, in the public eye, with the
the same brush as the bolsheviki, sim
ply because once upon a time they
bore the name socialist
The principles of these people were,
in the main, always sound, democratic
progressive, Their practice has al
ways been constructive and helpful.
Their foundation dogma is democ.
racy through universal helpfulness.
They want a man who succeeds in
business 10 realize that he does it
with the help of those he buys from
and those he sells to, not in spite of
them; that in proportion as he serves,
he will be served. The only difference
between this and other forms Of de-
mocracy is that they believe that the
spirit of cooperation is more powerful
than the spirit of competition. They
have nothing at all in common with
those who now claim the title social
list. They should not be confused with
them.
