Vulgar Wealth and Misery. A short time ago Mrs. Stuyvesant . Fish, the noted society woman, gave a. 'ssvell reception at Newport, which is reported to' have cost it hundred thou- sand dollars. Live doves and butter- .flies were liberated, and the scene» is pictured as one of the most luxurious and wonderful ever beheld in this or any other country. Everything that money could buy or the wit of man Idevise was provided to make this affair eclipse all other social functions ever attempted in this country. Where does all _the money come from which pays for this vulgar dis- play on the part of these social para- sites? Out of the sweat and misery Of the groaning millions who are robbed of the fruit Of their labor and beggar- ,ed, that these millionaires may riotin their riches and taunt the suffering poor who have not bread to eat'nor where to lay their heads. The day following the reception of Mrs. Fish to the Newport parasites and their flunkies, the United Press asked Euâ€" gene V. Debs for an Opinion of the af- fair from his point Of View, and he prepared thefollowing statement : “ The social function of swell socie- ty under our modern plut'ocracy bears a striking historic analogy to the same function of the ruling patricians of ancient Rome and of the royalty of France just preceding the bloody rev- olution. Wealth concentrated in the hands of the few as the fruit of the exploitation of the mass, must inevita- bly contain within itself theelements of its own destruction. The vulgar, brutal, reckless extravagances of the extremely rich are the symptoms of social disease and decadence. The See- ley dinners, Fish receptions and mon- key parties foreshadow the/impending doom of our modern aristocracy. “The latest exhibition of ourmor- bid self-conceit and heartless defiance of the social misery of the masses was given by Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish in her Newport farewell function. The des- cription of this riotous affair is well calculated to impress upon thoughtful people the fact that there is something radically wrong in a country in which a. display Of such fabulous luxury is made within a [stone’s throw of where hundreds of thousands of human beâ€" ings, men, women and children, are struggling for existence, and the great mass of them are doomed to go over the Niagara ofpoverty down into the abyss from which none may escape. “ The lesson of the Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish exhibition and similar social ex- . crescences will not be lost upon all the people. For my own part I thank the plutocrats for helping the Socialists to open the eyes of the people to' the meaning of the present system, and arousing them to the necessity of reor- ganizing society upon a. basis of equal ASSETS OVER $240,000,000.» SAVINGS BANK DEPARTMENT Deposits taken of $1 and upWards, which can be withdrawn on demand.

The whole thing, of course, is purely fanciful. Socialism does not say that. all land must he owned collectively ; it wishes only so much land as may be- nece‘ssary to break the power of land-- lordism and unemployment. It is ex- pressly understood that, under Socialâ€" ism, eVery man shall have the utmost. liberty Of individual action. If a num-- ber of families choose to support a. church, they shall have that privilege just as truly as they have now. That. church may teach whatever they are. willing to have taught. There would be this advantage tea the church under Socialism Which it. has not now. Then the .wurkers, rc- _ ceiving the full product of their toil, would be able to contribute to religi- ons and spiritual development, as nine-s tenths of them cannot do new. The church naturally is moulded in its opinions by those who contribute: to it. -'Because the masters of labor» now do more contributing, the church. is compelled to stand for the master- class. Under Socialism it‘ will be free) from this domination. It will, there- fore, be free to speak the truth and to stand againstinjustice of every kind. Socialism will do more for the cause of real religion, and for the develop- ment of the church that stands with. the whole people, than anything that; has come to the world through all the centuries. â€"-â€"-o-o_. The trouble is not human nature but inhuman nature, that wants to continue a system of robbery. ' The high cost of living means law living for some and high life for oth- ers. Beyond all this, it means a. change that will end all of it. NW ‘ “WWW 7°”? SHOES FIT FOR A KING You'll find us ready at any time to do you a lot of good for your shoe money.
