W. L. ROBSON. Good Socialist Teaching. The editor of n “ Christian" journal takes exception to our _statement that “ to us the one all-important point in the records of the lives of Jesus, Isaiah. Moses and the great characters of Bible history is their supreme devotion to the cause and interests of those who toiled.” But he fails to indicate how any other interpretation may fairly be put upon the messages of those prophetic souls, whose words of warning and denuncia- tion were hurled at rich and powerful oppressers of the poor, and whose fe’ar- lessness in proclaiming the truth cost them their lives. In his recent Work Dr. Keedy well says: “ Jesus exhausted himself upon nothing as he did upon getting justice for man at the hands of man. His contention was always for the men’s rights. The most terrible woe Jesus pronounced was that he cull- ed dotvn npon the man, who should in- jure another." And then as new the men'_tnost noted for theirs-inhumanity were the professedly “religious,” the prominent and “ respectable” citizens who devoured widows’ houses, exacted usury, heaped burdens on other men'sl shoulders, while for a pretence they paid tithes and said prayers. If the editor referred to wishes fur ther light on fundamental principles of ' prophetic teaching-let him turn to Isaiah and Amos. where he will find much after the style of the followinu : ‘t He looked for judgment but beheld-oppres- sion, ‘for righteousness but behold a “ Is not this the fast that I have chosen ? to loose the-bands of wicked- ness, to undo the heavy burdens and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke ?” “ I hate. I des- pise your feast days and I will not smell your solemn assemblies. .But let judg- ment run down as waters and righteous- ness as a mighty stream.” “ I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: you afflict the just and take a bribe, and turn aside the poor in the gate from their right,” “ And they shall build houses and inhabit them. And they shall plant vine-yards and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build and another inhabit, They shall not plant and another cat. They shall not labor in vain nor bring forth tor trouble.” Good Socialist preaching this. But we must not forget that the prophets were regarded as “ troublch of Israel,” “ngi raters.” “ demagogues.”‘ And we are still “ of the generation that stone the prophets.” The apostles, too, were considered “ pestilent fellows,” who wanted to “turn the world upside down.” This is not surprising when we learn that one of them, the brother of Jesus. said : “ Go to, new, ye rich men. weep and bowl for your miseries which shal come upon you. Behold the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth; and the cries of them which have reaped have entered into the cars of the Lord.”â€" he Vanguard. § The Valley of Woe. The earth is wide, and broad areas of its surface have not yet been con- quered by culture, but offer room and food for innumerable men. By system- l . ' ZOtNS, every moment your eye ls olfe ld" ed by appnr t cos hiding misery, need and woe, by human b:ings and things- hera ding Evil scent-s creating deep injn~tico, the, fore- grounds of which are spread- with ricc’ and crime, and for a bait" have tombs- eftnnrblc full of gold and decay. _ . Your path may lead over meadows streaming with the blool of assassinated men sacrificed to the War melech. You behold the wounded, the crushed, thc‘ deadâ€"man and beast intermingled, strewn about over a \ride surface. flor- rid groaning. whining and howling' shock your ears. The crop has been destroyed where formerly the peaceful- citizen drew blessing-promising furrows. The cannons of war have tore the land. Thick masses of agrarians flee frO’tn‘ burning villages into the woods to pitch camps among the animals of the thicket. . Not far from the battlefield a crown- edhead masters his victorious army. Bewitching music penetrates the atmos- phere and warriors cheer him, who but. a short time previous had hounded their' brethren to perdition in order to be able to fish for a new pearl for his diadem in the torrent of warm human blood. Slaves dedicated to death salute Caesar. In the Metropolis your eyes are en- chained by a gorgeous palace, from the ample rooms of which shine splendor and luxury. Magnificent vehicles roll forth and perfumed figures appear, lead-r ed with all the splendor capable of be-- ing offered by five continents. . One of these- balls has commenced where a hospitable Croesus of modern times must spend half a million if he' would keep up his standing: Outside the masses more. Hardly one of ten wears a whole suit of clothes, and many among them has not enough to pay his lodging for the coming night. You wander to the exchange'te view the powerful, who dance around the poisoned true They speculate and cal- culate : Will wage slaves produce in the future more or less surplus? The an- swer to that question raises and depress es'the stocks. The anticipated exploit- ation of the future must bring interest in advance for the present. 4 All, tricks, kinks, lies, intrigues and deceit are thrown into the gambling by the lockers and the jobbers in order to eorrect the decisions of the Goddess of Fortune. One, smilingly, pockets $100.- 000; another drives cold lead into his- brain. All of them respectable citizousl and people. " A few strides across the street bring you into the palace of Justice. A wise judge, receiving $25 daily for drawsingr. rubs the “ Katzemjammcr” eyes by lecturing a tramp and opening- jail for the same to occupy one year, bemusc he stole bread and sausage in- stead of drowning himself.

The impulse of men under the capi;w talint system is to make merchandise out of their talents, their shrewd and everything else they can force'tnto the scales. Make 1 Naked Make l7. Employ sharp practice, if possible, and ilth nursing. the natural productiveness swindle within the law, if necessary, of our planet has been increased a hund- redfcld by man, earth’s youngest son. Art and science, the noble twins who sprang fretn genius, were awakened in their harmonious association with their elder sister, labor, nature’s master, she whose innermost nature she explored and pressed it into her service. Man to-day moves mountains should they cross his paths, be literally rams the means to his end from the sod; his hands nowadays execute things which the wildest imaginations of the ancient would not have dared to give the gods credit for. The results of culture form a cup which runneth over with all that tends to make man happy and contented. No man need plague himself from early morning until late at night in order to produce his wants for food. A few hours daily today represent the equiv- alent of a week’s work in times gone by. Fire and water, electricity and magnet- ism, chemistry and mechanics have re- lieved and superseded man’s muscles at theusandfold. These are not mere gorgeous words, but facts that may only be denied by a fool. But when thou struttest through the land. where dost thou encounter the joys of Paradise which such a situation would have us anticipate? Where? Whether you look about in monarch- ies or republics, in the frigid or torrid Lie, if it pays. Business morality has beecmb a stench in the nostrils, and. the big business man, with his silk hat". and his private pew in church, has been- cemplotely exposed as the author of eiv-~ ic corruption, the procuring cause back” of boedling, besides being part of the.» class that exhausts and impoverishes the industrious members ct society. Certainly, the working people have nev» or been charged with any such crime to- eur knowledge. But while everyone else is bargaining and making merchan- dise Jf their abilities and their foxineSs, how about the workers? They by their" toilsome industry produce the wealth of' the nation; but instead of making mer- chandise of that fact, instead of driving, a bargain with the buyers of labor pow- er that will net them the handsome liv- ing they are clearly entitled to, they submit to a bad bargain, exchange their. vast preductfer more existence wages, and go through life ragged, forlorn and ignoblc.
