For socialism in whatever torn is, after all, only an ingenious device {or putting in practice the generous im- pulses of the human heart. Socialis- tic schemes are just so many contriv- emcee (or the carrying out at our nobler purpose. .In themselves they cannot directly foster goodness; they can only ptomote it by making its path easier. Under right social and industrial conditions it will be easâ€" eryday lite; it will be easier (or the truth to find us out and cheer us with illumination. One would not call the constitution of the United .Statee a socialist doc- ument, I suppose. and yet it certain- ly is an instrument invented to iacil- itate the betterment o! mankind in its social state. The American Re- voluti like the French revolution, like th' great rebellion in England. has no other meaning than that. and the mistake we make in thinking of these movements is in putting our final trust in them rather than in the spirit of freedom and love in man which produced them. However great and important thae events were, they were, after all. only so many steps in this direction or that. We believe in this country that a democratic form of government is better than older, more primitive form. It is not therefore necessar- ily the best form. It may be itself but a step to another form still bet- ter which will bring us still more enlightenment and happiness. We must be carelul not to min a letich of it, as our fathers made 0! mon- a-chy long ago. It is the tendency of conservative minds to respect the settled institution, the traditional ideal. Old institutions and estab- lished ideals are indeed to In respect- ed, but they are not as much to b. respected t8 thc Spirit 0! humanity which beget them.
