Indeed Mr.. Hoover in his statements

attorney general in the matter and
frankly disagreed with the latter's
policy. He was free to say the gov

Socialism's DEGRADATION.

N. L. IrlDUne)
The delegates to the Socialist Ma
tional Convention have spent the
week spreading the cult of hate. The
spectacle is disillusioning to Social
lists of the older and better sort and
shocking to that large number OF
persons who have been attracted by
it's formal ethical ideals. ~:lt. -
A perfected human brotherhood is
mankind's dream. The vision of the
Kingdom has enthralled the poets
the philosophers and the great re-
ligious leaders. There have been
glimpsings Of the way it was to come
namely. by q growth of the COOP
erative spirit, by the elimination OF
rivalry, and by a universal recog-
milton of the blessings Of, mutual
helpfulness. Socialism long pre-
tended it sought these ends. It's ad-
herehts saluted other men as com
rades. :' ~ =.
But for. more than deeade organ
lied socialism has undergone a rapid
downward change. The radicals
who now largely control its activi-
ties, no longer speak much of broth
erhood., They preach. not harmony
but disccrd. They are anti .demo-
cratic, for. except, where prudence
calls for assembling silence, they
advocate autocracy. They are anti
moral and anti-religious,- for they
deny the existence of morality and
denounce religion as the spawn, of
priestcraft. They have turned away
