THE HEART OF SOCIALISM
BV DR.. Frank Crane

In recent article Walter Lippmann
calls attention to the popular limitation that
affects all ideas we receive. He brings out
the point that most Of us do not take what
is told us as it is given, but that we convert
it into types that are already in our own
minds; we pour it, as it were, into our own
moulds.
That is to say, we think in catch phrases.
Most of the contents of our minds are
canned goods. 1t is a rare mind whose con-
tents are fresh and fluid.
When we speak Of socialism, for instance.
most of us simply get the vague idea of the
solidarity of society. There is awakened in
us STRINGS of old, familiar notions of uni
versal brotherhood, of cooperation, and of
the unity of mankind. Of socialism as def
mite and elaborate scheme, we have only an
indistinct conception. Probably not one in a
thousand of us uses the word in this sense.
Hence it is true, especially of those who
become passionate upon the subject, that
What they are really heated about is that
central thought of the unity of humanity
which is the core of the great religions. This
central thought is true, it is wholesome, and
it is more or less self-evident.
Unfortunately, however, socialism has a
hundred forms of manifestation. Some con-
ce1ye OF it as natural, normal and inevi-
table growth of human society. They look
upon it as phase of social evolution AS
such, it doubtless has it's place among other
scientific discoveries, and is entitled to the
respect of all thinkers.
TO many others socialism is primarily a
scheme for the division of property 1t is
something that has to do with economics II
is device. 1t is something artificial which
attracts the hosts of envy and makes it what
IL often becomes-a huge cave of Adullam
where the failures, the petulant, and the dis.
satisfied give vent to protest.
II we could only think clearly and feel
the heart of socialism, it would mean much
toward the welfare of the world.
For it's heart is undoubtedly sound, Its
heart is the elevation of humanity above all
nat1onalisms, above class distinction, above
all those oppressive authorities that come
from privilege of one kind or another
Valued with this understanding the core
OF socialism and Christianity is the same.
Most of our discussions are merely battles
with catch words, the bandying to and fro
OF preconce1ved ideas and prejudices
There are some even to whom socialism
and anarchlsm, which are precisely opposite.
mean the same thing. Needless to say in any
Intelligent socialism there is no place for
violence nor disorder

Az IHEN county whose cotton yield was
Wv reduced by boil weevil and bad
weather from wonted thirty thou
Z sand bales to less thar. one-fourth that
amount faces the new year unafraid and un-
complaining, then it is time for pessimist
ana grumbler to strike their tents in shame
such has been the experience and such is
the attitude of the sturdy county of Wash
lngton. One, of its leading planters as The
Journars correspondent relates, ran five
hundred and twenty-seven plows last year,
and harvested only five hundred and
eighteen ba,es of cotton; on the same land
ana with the same outlay he has made IN
other seasons as many as five thousand two
hundred and thirty-one bales. Fortunate
ly," he comments, eve produced an album
dance OF provisions for the more than five
hundred families on my plantations. Re-
ports similar to this come from scores of
smaller farmers, who, notwithstanding heavy
reverses in cotton, weathered the gale by
virtue Of their plenteous fooC harvests
Therein lies half the secret of the county S
prevailing courage and hope for the months
ahead. If winter had found its larders
empty, and If with beggarly money crop ii
had been dependent on far regions for food
stuffs, then indeed would it's plights have
been desperate. But secure in it's own re-
sources against want, the county can bide in
hope the coming of the better times for
which it means to work with utmost vigor.
It's program Tor the new year is to
raise 11rst enough to eat, and then only
as much cotton as can be produced economi-
cally. It's foresighted farmers will forget
neither the needs nor the opportunities OF
food production. Cattle breeding and dairy
ing, the rich possibilities of which some OF
them already have demonstrated, will re-
celve more liberal attention, while the rails
ing of porkers AMI the crops underlying that
industry will be continued with increased
activity
With so broad foundation and plan so
we'll advised, any Georgia county can face
the oncoming seasons with assurance. Those
II such there be, who trust to single crop
and that extremely hazardous one, will in
vite disaster. But those that take counsel
Of experience. and make their utmost of op-
portunities will deserve success, and doubt
less will win it.

The Long Bridge must be re-
built or its intercommunication
provided for by newly construct
ed highway around the edge of the
lake. The State Highway Com
missioner-has been appealed to
for engineering recommendations
affecting both bridges and the
proposed new highway fringing
the edge of the lake. AS soon as
the report is received from the
Commissioner, the public will be
appraised of his findings and re-
commentators. Should the Long
Bridge have to be rebuilt-and
the Mayor is inclined to believe
that such is rhe practical solution
of the problem confronting the
city-it is not improbable that an
appeal to the State for aid in the
expense of said new bridge would
be entirely just and proper. The
foregoing premises should come
before the voters for determination
at the proposed special meeting in

The City charter assuredly pro-
vides that the City Council "Shall

use of water supplied by the city

amendment, "Such service rates
shall be and are hereby made a
lien in the nature of a tax upon the
real estate, so supplied with water,
etc. The Mayor is of the opinion
that the foregoing provisions of
the city charter are invalid. The
question is now before the City
/ Attorney for his opinion-with
several other pertinent matters af-
fecting the management and con-
troll of the city water system. 1t
j is not unlikely that an amendment
TO the city charter should be es-
sayed affecting certain matters
affecting the water system-and
that these matters will be laid be-
foge the citizens for their action at
