plots civil and international war; that
class war which is the most terrible
and destructive of all wars.
Not all socialists wear the badge of
socialism. The spirit of socialism
finds expression in the sentiments and
utterances Of many a demagogue
politician camoufaged under the
name Democrat or Republican. These
fomenters of class hatred, these wag-
ers of war against productive enter
prise and therefore against the pros
perity of the American people, are
the most dangerous of all socialists;
they lack even the merit of fanatical
sincerity.
Against the insidious activities of
socialism in all its forms the Ameri-
can people need to be ever on their
guard. In the last national campaign
five million Americans cast their bal
lots in favor of a party so closely in
harmony with socialism that it was
able to effect an actual working al
lance with the national Socialist
party. Naturally enough this party
struck at the barriers erected in the
American Constitution against the
sacrifice of individual rights, against
confscation of property and destruc-
ton of liberty as a necessary step to-
ward the form of state in which the
government would be master over
men in all relationships, and the citi-
zen no more than a chattel slave of
the politicians entrenched in power.
The war is on between socialism
and Americanism. In that battle it
is the duty of every citizen to take
a part. The institutions our fathers
established at such sacrifice of blood
and treasure, are worthy of defense
by every American worthy of the
name. These institutions, in the face
Of attack by propagandists of social
ism, open and camoufaged, will not
maintain themselves. They can only
be upheld by eternal vigilance.
