It It you ask any particularly well-dressed man in Fenelon Falls or surrounding district, The above is from a sermon preached Why do they water their stocks? Why do they gamble in the stock exchange to get wealth away from others? Why do they fight the union and its efforts to secure living wages and better citizen- ship for the working class? Why do they sell goods under false representa- tions? Why do they give short weight? Why do they practie business decep- tion? Why do they say there is no sentiment in business? Why do they say that in business it is Mary man for himselfâ€"and the devil take the hind. most? Isn't it because there is some strong, compelling motive back of life and conduct under the capitalist system ? If all the preaching of the Golden Rule these hundreds of years has only result. ed in unscrupulous and dishonest busi- ness lives, in wolfish neck and neck struggles, in the crushing and exhaust- ing of labor for profit, doesn’t it. show that, much as people would like to be good, they secretly feel that they cannot afoul to be? If goodness of conduct can only be brought about by the re generation of the human heart, where is the result of 2,000 years of preaching? It simply shows that that preaching has been against the stream instead of with it. And no wonder, when that stream gives forth the immoral song of capital- ism that competition and strife make for individual well being. The Social-Democrats are “irrational dreamers " enough to say: Change the system of' competition to one ofco-oper- ation and mutual good will and brother- ly love'l Change the system so that it willpay to be good instead of paying to be bad! Man is naturally good. He hates to skin his neighbor, or to live by sharp practice, or rent, profit orinterest, or by exploiting the labor power of others. Let. us make goodness possible, and let the Rev. Young help as to get people to Want a new systemâ€"The Vanguard. Q". Socialist View of War. Socialists, the world over, are uncom- promisingly opposed to war. One of the prominent planks in the platform of In- ternational Socialism is a demand for world peace. The false patriotism which capitalism and militarism put forth as a pretext for war is seen by the Socialist to be but a incans whereby these interested classes reap profit from the blood of the masses. of universal prosperity, where there is _ The military Chiefs 5-30 to ‘VGF’b'ccflU'ie no unnatural wealth and no helpless 1t lsflleil‘ trade-to make their career, 5%. poverty.

Only because they want to steal Manchuria and Ko- rea: And they do not even conceal this robber aim. They add, naturally, the necessity of defending their own com; mercial and industrial development.- But the simple and common truth is that they want to steel, to steal territoâ€" ry, to steal personal wealth. And when the brutal fact comes to confirm so conspicuously the Socialist truth that the aim of war is robbery, and murder is its means, is it possible that there is a. single Socialist, a single man of good sense, who is not against war? While the pacifist and the good- hearted man limits himself to a protest, the Socialist adds the work of propa~ ganda, and exploits the brutal fact, to root more and more in the brain and. heart Of‘the workingman the hatred ct” wars, and that they must not march to kill and be killed for the profit of the capitalists, who stay at home and care only to reap the spoils stained with the proletarians’ blood. Spoil and deathâ€"c double advantage for capitalism. The thing is so evident, as I write these lines, here in Paris, in the midst of the nationalist campaign in favor of “Holy Russia "’â€"â€"the Russia of marâ€" derous Tsarism, for every human crea- ture that thinks freelyâ€"l believe that the French people will never be pushed to march for the Russo-Japanese war. It will not march, this noble proletariat, because the spell is over. The truth is here evident, irresistible: the .aim of‘ war is robbery, and murder is its means. â€"Ib. .4â€" . The Gospel of Wealth. It is the gospel of wealth, corrupting and destructive. It cannot be finally successful, for it violates divine justice. lts teachings are professedly material. No grand moral idea underlies it. We are moving we hardly know whither. One thing is certainâ€"the ul- tra individualism of' the past is doomed. Whatever the future brings forth, the voices of the social prophets and econo-A mists will not have been heard in vain. There is some truth in the phrase, “ We- arc all Socialists now.” To the observant and thoughtful it is apparent even in our own country that great numbers of thoughtful, cousarva- tive, hard-working men are burdened by the problem of existence. Is it not a fact that the government of these United States is on the verge of rebel- lion and revolution, they ask? Are the people, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, not feeling the spirit of discontent more and more, because in the midst of abun~ dance there are countless thousands al- most naked, starved and frozen to death by the power of a few men who live by avarice, greed and injustice in luxury, while the God-given rights of the peo- ple are trampled iu the dust. Some days ago it was publicly stated that in New York City there were over 100,000 unemployed, and 50,000 chil- dren who, every morning, went break- fastless to school. With such facts con- fronting us, it is the duty of the priest- hood to point out the dangers that threaten human society and every form of government that loses sight of the Fatherhood of God- and the Brother- hood of Jesus Christ.-â€"-Rev.

Our great Italian comrade, Enrico Ferri, thus states the Socialist view of war: The aim of war is robbery, and mur- der is its means. Here is the positive truth affirmed by the Socialist doctrine of economic determination. The Russo- Japanescwar is its brilliant confirma- tion.
