That short season when something like a truce is proclaimed, and we open our hearts and our pocket-books to relieve those whom we have robbed and oppressed the rest of the year. If peace ‘on earth and good will to men is good doctrine at Christmas, why not prac- tise it all the year round? Why are we like Ishmaelites, every one’s hand against all mankind and all mankind against each one? The American test of the utility of anything is “Does it pay?” In answering this question, I believe that the present system is not conducive to the real welfare and hap- piness of any one. Is the present sys- tem a sane one when wars, earth- quakes, fires and other calamities are rightly considered blessings? For do they not destroy the surplus, thereby setting the toilers to work, thus bring- ing joy to many a. needy family? Un- der some conditions these disasters would be considered burdens to be borne by all the people. Again, do not laziness and prodigality seem t6 be almost virtues? For does not the lazy man step aside and allow another perhaps more needy person to-work? As for the prodigal, he wastes and de- stroys. He assists in keeping) the wheels of industry humming. On the other hand, industry and economy ap- pear to be almost vices. ' Ought a. man to work if he can avoid it, and deprive another more needy man of the chance to work? By mending your shoes are you’ not assisting in starving some employee in a shoe factory? Throw them away and get a new pair. “Ah ! ” says one, “ you have touched the capitalist buzz saw and got hurt. You are a hopeless pessimist.” However, to my distorted vision (if you please) present condi- tions seem to be not only out of joint, b'ut upside down. Only a compara- tively short time back robbery and murder were the only respectable .oc- No shoes ‘w‘ere ever sold that; could surpass in any way those that this store offers you today.

The world spends today enough in blnti‘ and blaster and preparations for war to provide every comfort for millions. “ All nations are sisters” said the no- ble Mazzini. Still,‘ it does not look much like a sisterly spirit to go armed to the teeth with all the most des- tructive weapons available. Shakeâ€" speare, when he, said “\Vhat fools these mortals be,” might with ,equal propriety have added “ What hypoâ€" crites these mortals be.” War beâ€" tween nations is the logical result of the industrial war raging in all so- called civilized countries.

" -o The Profit System. The Socialist holds that the profit.” system'of capitalism is immoral, un- just and fundamentally wrong in prin- ciple. Labor, applied to nature’s gifts,,. is the source of all wealth. No one“ can get wealth who does not produce it, unless some one produces wealth who does not get it. Therefore, all profits, rent and interest are nothing: more nor less than a legalized form of‘ robbery. Prof. Walter Thomas Mills, the great philosopher and economist, and author of “The Struggle for Ex» istence,” says : “ The man who demands more than he gives is a thief 3 the man who takes less than he gives is a fool ; and“ the mau'who gives as much as, he reâ€"- ceives and demands as muchggs he“ gives, is a Socialist.” No mild can make a’ profit unless he gives less than he receives. ' “ The merchant calls it profit, and‘he. '- winks the other eye ; ’ ' The banker calls it interest, andgfllic‘ heaves a happy sigh ; as; . The landlord calls it rent, and ' tucks it in a bag ; But the unpretentious burglar simply? calls it swag.” “ All things whatsoever you would' that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” I do not want to insult» your intelligence as a. body of educatr ed men who profess to believe in the. economic teachings of Christ, by ask- ing you whether you believe that the practical working of the Golden Rule- is possible while the “ prOfit system ”" remains in existence? There is but; one honest anSWer to the question. It: can not. The class who take the wealth which others produce are on- abled to do so because they use politi- cal power to obtain control of the gOv- ernment, to the end that they may obtain such laws and judicial conâ€" struction of laws as they may deem most likely to further their aims and their power.â€"â€"-Allan Cook.
