Show SOCIALIST LECTURE. About .10 people came out Tuesday night to liaten to a Socialist speaker at M arson! Hall. The speaker was quite entertaining and made a good many amusing hits that brought applause ap-plause from the audience. It Is always al-ways safe and popular to take a crack at the capitalist he bus no friends. The main part of the talk was taken up In showing the bad condition that prevails. It la easy to show that wages are low, that thousanda are out of employment, that young children and women are unjustly condemned to long hours of toil. Hut not so eay to ahow how Socialism will remedy these conditions. The speaker certainly cer-tainly did not do so. While social conditions con-ditions are not Improving as fat as we would like a thousand agencies, are working for the betterment of conditions, con-ditions, and we think reforms are being be-ing made just as fast as the people are ready for them. We think Improvement Improve-ment ran be made only along some of the lines the Socialists advocate. While, we believe that land and all natural monopolies will have to be socialized before universal Justice will be done, we do not think It will ever be necessary to socialize all the machinery of production. Give all men equal access to land and it will be Impossible Im-possible to monopolize the machinery of production. |
