COLLINS TALKS
ON SOCIALISM
ADDRESSES TWO LARGE
AUDIENCES AT OPERA
HOUSE ON SUNDAY

Peter Collins, former member of the
U. S. Industrial commission ana presl-
dent of the National Electricians un-
ion, spoke twice at the Grand Opera
House last Sunday under the auspices
of the knights of Columbus. That the
tenants of socialism involve atheism
and plan to tear down present day civ
ilization were two points emphasized
by the speaker.
Not For Workers
Mr.. Collins declared that Socialism
originated with men who never were
workers and that it could never be-
come an ideal which working men
could follow The term, he explain
ed, has been used since 1S47 and has
gone under various names. Karl
Marx and other Socialistic writer's as
serted that socialism denied the pos
sibility of there being any divine crea-
tor In all later. statements, MARKHAM
theorists have made similar declara-
TONS" That there are two types of
Socialism was another point Mr.. Col
Inns emphasized. The one is intel
lectual and is purely academic. The
other is preached from the soap box
disruption of government as it is at
present, he declared.
Socialism, the speaker said
(which is the same as bolshevism, is
not political idea, but is purely a
philosophy and its entrance into poll
tics is but an effort to increase its
power and prestige. 1t is not re-
form, denying that it will seek to re-
form society. 1t proposes to do away
with present society and the home and
the church, establishing in their place
a system of naturalization, which
would eliminate private property, all
property ties and all belief in God or
religion
In speaking of the trial of the five
New York assembymen recently, Mr..
Collins declared that each had been
was in the hands of the socialist local,
this to be used if any of them voted
for military measures. This, Mr.. Col
Inns declared, indicated that they were
not representatives of the people but
were dominated by a faction behind
the scenes.
The speaker also arraigned the Nom
partisan League, referring with parr
ticular emphasis to the introduction of
vicious and often indecent literature
into the schools and Libraries of North
Dakota Consumption of land by
means of taxation, Mr.. Collins declar-
ed, was one of the purposes of the
League.

A FEW FACTS FOR
MR.. HARDING

Senator Harding makes an ineXcus-
able blunder when he says that the
Democrats are still piling up great
national debts in peace times. The
fact is that the administration has re
duced the fixed and floating was debt
by almost $2,500,00 900 The entire
debt has been reduced by nearly 10
per cent in few months, a momen-
tOuS record.
Mr.. Harding finding that the govern
ment had deficit in July and August
of $125,000, 900, concludes that this
means an annual deficit of almost a
billion. The fact is that for the three
months ending Oct. /, there was sur
plus of 1926, 100000. this being the eX-
cess of ordinary receipts over ordi-
nary disbursements. The deficit for
August was due to the payment of
$3.50. goo. 900 on account of the Esch-
Cummins law. If Mr.. Harding wants
TO be fair, he ought to talk about the
surplus for three months as well as
the deficit for one month.
AS a third indictment of the admin
istratiOn, Senator Harding says the
nation went into war without work
able plan of financing. But the Will
QUIZ ulu cSldUIlSu Ju6
federal reserve system which econo-
mists generally agree was the very
foundation for the successful financ-
ing of the war. A special committee
of the New York Chamber of Com
merce came to The same conclusion.
In the last eight years, as a matter
of fact, the administration put more
wholesome financial legislation on the
federal statute books than all other
| administrations combined since the
Civil war. This is history now
The reorganization of the whole
banking system of the nation was eff
fected through the federal reserve
act. If there was any criticism to be
made of this act, does Mr.. Harding
| think the Chicago platform would
have failed to make it? He is cam
paigning, of course. but even cam
paigning owes something to the truth

Many Republicans have assured US
of their intention to support ana vote
for Col. Robert 3. Mccoy for COVER
nor. Some very prominent one have
declared themselves locally. Certain
Republican speakers have said that
they were going to do this little thing
However, if Mr. Blaine carries Mar
athon county it will be the fault of
Republican campaigners who haven't
the courage of their convictions; who
bury convictions for the sake of con-
venience. They speak from the same
platform with LaFOllette PrOgressiVes.
They soft-peddle every cooperative
action on the part of Republicans in
the interests of Col Mccoy. In every
public action they are giving state
socialism and the Nonpartisan League
the greatest encouragement and yet
they loudly shout their opposition to
both in daily conversation. They are
waiting for that deferred promise from
Nonpartisan League Republicans that
they will not sell out the state to
North Dakota's pet project all at once.
Then these same men will probably
work for harmony" They speak on
national issues and avert the state.
Their side-kickers, from the same
platform, boost Mr.. Blaine. They do
not protest
1t would be pretty cheap to sell out
the commonwealth to maintain har-
mony in the Republican party.

Sunday night. A local Orator" sought
to address some fifty men on the

a student who asked: Are you GER

The reply was made defyingly: Ger
tainly, a majority always rules" The
student requested the speaker to turn
to Article of the League of Nations
covenant, which reads as follows:
Except where otherwise provided
in this covenant, or by the terms of
the present treaty, decisions at any
meeting OF the ASSEMBLY OR OF
THE COUNCIL shall require the
agreement of ALL the members of the
League represented at the meeting"
Matters of procedure only are regu-
lated by majority vote. Ignorance
is bliss, particularly when it exists in
spite of the opportunity to discart it.

ture of the local Republican campaign.
