"Then there is the compulsory
school attendance law which Gov-
ernor Ferguson signed; what is
that but the rankest sort of So-
cialism."
George Robinson, who is gener-
ally recognized as the Horace
Greely of the South, concludes his
editorial on Ferguson's declartion
in particular and 0n Socialism in
general by saying: ^
"All progressives are socialists,
and this applies to those whe call
themselves progressive democrats
the same as it does to those who
call themselves progressive repub
licans or just plain progressives.
The underlying purpose of social-
ism is to make the interests of so-
ciety as a whole, rather than of
individuals, the supreme object of
tho state, and to this end it would
have collective ownership and do
away with competition. It is a
uoble aspiration, but, in the judg-
ment of the individualist, impos-
sible of attainment short of autoc-
racy. But no stigma attaches to
the term 'socialist,' what socialism
represents to the individualist is a
wrong judgment—that's all."
Coming from such a source the
rattle-brained shysters, clerical,
legal and lay, who attack the So-
cialist party on the grounds of di-
vide-up, anarchy, free love and
confiscation, had better look a
leedle bit out, or otherwise howls
of dorision will greet them when
they carry the lies of their masters
to the men and women at the forks
of the creek.
If B follows A, and D follows C,
the logic of Ferguson's situation
iB that he must accept the Social-
ist position on the land question,
the greatest of all questions, and
that position is, as Editor Robin-
son points out, the use and occu-
pancy must be the title to land.
Old party Catholic propagan-
dists like the labor-faker, Collins,
and the Jew, Goldstein, and the
ex-Presbyterian, all* of whom are
traveling in the interest of the
Knights of Columbus, plus Camp-
bellites like the squeezed Lemon
and busted Baptists like Bogard,
will please take notice that their
game of slander is played1 out. Not
the Socialist, alone, but respect-
able and intelligent newspaper
men of various creeds like Robin-
son of the Waco-Times Herald,
Fitzgerald of the Fort Worth Re-
cord and the editor of The Temple
Telegram are turning on the light
even though the Knights of Co-
lumbus dago, he 'of pink-whisker-
ed fame, known as Caesar Lom-
bardi, spreads the gloom of un-
truth over his editorial pages.
ALAS FOR JOE.
Harry W. Laidler, organizing
secretary of the Intercollegiate
Socialist Society, has just return-
ed from a trip through Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Geor-
gia and Tennessee. He organized
chapters for the study of Social
ism in the universities of Virginia,
North and South Carolina Wash
ington and Lee, Johns Hopkins,
Emory and Henry, East and Mid-
dle Tennessee Normal, and Ran-
dolph Macon.
Joe Bailey will now have t6 take
his son out of the Virginia univer-
sity and send him to Tuskegee. It
is about the only place where So-
cialism isn't taught
Of all the pharisees that curse
a nation, tho clerical pharisee is
the worst.
r"s
If the truth were known aa to
the manner in which the capital-
ist rulers of America staged
the murder by Villa of the women
and children at Columbus. N. M.
and are now trying to sti^e the
murder of thousands of Maxican
and American workingmsn, a re-
volution would break forth in this
country NOW that would sweep
these devils from, power forever.
If the worker wor^eobbod at
the point of an automfKe of four-
fifths of his product ho would
rebel. The robbery of tho work-
er by the shirker under capital-
ism is just as damnable bat more
insiduous, hence tho Dubh con-
tinues to vote for the skin-game.
The class that feeds and clothes
and warms and lights the world
is the only one worth while.
