SOCIALIST MEETING (comuuNrearion) : The people of Berrydale have had the opportunity: to listen to the doctrine of Socialism from'an official source, Mr. O Brien, M.P.P., for the Rocky. Mountain fiding, gave an address in the interests of Sam Welch and Social: nearly two hours and a half at schoolhouse on the evening of Nov. 13;- Tu one who felt some sympathy with the aspirations of and who be lieved that, mistaken not in their theories, the Socialistsare striving for the betterment of humanity, the speech was a keen disappointment. Mr. O Brien s speech was a strong protest against the oppressive methods of capitalisu: and a. bitter tirade against.all those-whose polities differ from his own. Does Mr, O Brien, I wonder, ever. stup to'think- that per: sonal abuse ig the first crude be- ginning on. the long road .of op- pression. The mission of his acti; ascordiig to the speaker, seem to be to tear down and destroy the present social and industrial system; -of what is to supplant it, being neither a prophet nor. the san of a prophet, Mr, O Brien confesses himeelf to be in ignorance, and yet.the mud hut of the settler, which so mueh excites his derision, is not. destroyed until. its-owner has something better to take its place. He stops short just where (after listening patiently for more than two hours, to his abuse of present con- ditions),, dune would have him con- tinue. . If we are to destroy the pre- sent social system, we should, how- ver conscious we.may be of its short- comings, have an idea of what is to take its place, There will be no. no government. since ' there will longer be slaves to govern. . that the thief and the bully will have changed their- nature, but probably they will in-that. happy hour when the Socialists triumph and there is no longer government, It is not: my intention, it is not necessary, for me to r fute the abusive terms used ageinst our memb re of parliament, Dr. Clark, in particular, here in his home neighborhood, is-too. well known and. too highly thought of for the epithets of thief, etc, to work any- thing but-harm to the cause of the man who fttered them. An affair cecurred, however, last-winter, during the writer's stay in the -old vountry, which pute such a different. com- plexion on. one of Mr. stories, that it may be well to relate it. The tale Mr. O Brien amused his audience with was that during the internal troubles in Russia, British capitalists not getting the: returns expected for money invested jn that country sent King Edward ona visit to the Czar to let the latter know that there would be trouble unless a- more satisfactory state of affairs was arrived at, and that in re- torn for the Czar s complaisance the longer be a. refuge for political re- fagees. Canadians. .will very: likely remember how: London was startled last winter by a murder of an ex- ceptional kind which, not: only by the crime itself but also by the presence in their midst in large mambers of eominitted, gave: people most un- pleasant food for reflection. Two anarchists. from the foreign quarter of London, armed with: the latest style of automatic pistols, stole a bag of. coin, and during their flight through the city, shot at all who came in their way, on poligeman and one child, if T remember aright, being killed, and others wounded, As a result, great pressure was brought to bear upon the government to get them. to enact stricter immigration, laws, and no: longer to allow mis: creants to find a shelter on British shores who are a menace as much to the land which protects them as to the land which gave them birth. It. would seem that Mr. O Brien sees nothing in the disposition and habits of the anarchist. which makes him an undesirable citizen; if he did he would hardly wake such a demand upon his inventive faculties to supply reason for the anarchists being kept out of Britain. Your masters are. calling you; go home to your huts and dugouts, was the conclusion of an astonishing address. Is that Social- RF, the right kind of men after it, bism? F.. Pao. O Brien s King agreed that Englend should no that.elass by whom the crime. was C. M. O'Brien, th political man- ager, and the vittual, nominator, of Mr. Samuel Welch, the Socialist candidate in this election, delights to dub himself a Red Revolution- ist Sotialist. Asa matter of fact, Mr, O Brien declares himself pp- posed to ordinary reforms, noth- ing but rebellion or revelution will satisfy him, and his discussion con- sists largely of coarse abuse of all public men. Mr.. O Brien s id a is that vary thing should be owned: and op- erated by the State, that the State should own all the land and that the farmers:should work for the State for a division: of the pro- fits. A condition which would naturally appeal to the indolent. To:the man who is industriously making a home for himself on the land, and who by his. individual effort is providing s competence for hims lf. and family it doesn t appeal so strongly that-the fruits of his toil should be . divided among the indifferent and the idle. Any agitator can talk in a loud voice about the gloties of a social condition under. whielr all men would be equal, all work for the State and get a fair-deal. This may bea fine theory but it doesn t take into account the greatest factor in the world, human nature, - 4 Suppose Mr. .Q Brien s theory could be put into force, in which the is gding to abolish wages and ownership of property, he would be-up against a far more complex proposition te operate ,the great machine of State than any govern- Pearce veeem he ins suet fC Soantey. The following are a* few and problems that. would have to be settled. under the new Soeial- istic Commonwealth: - Tf-we solve these troubles by. declaring all property in common, who shall decide the privilege of use which the various tastes of in- dividuals may demand? If each member be allowed 8 fixed number of units of value for each day of the year, must he spend 'them at onco, or will the State keep an account for each in- dividual?.. If he doesn t spend all his.allowance by the end of the year can he save it and thus accu- ' mulate a private fortune? Or will the State : force him to spend all, thus encouraging Feck- less habits? . Suippose that. 4 epen dthrift aquanders his allowance at once and later breaks his leg, has it amputated, and needs s hundred dollars to buy a wooden leg, how will he get it? Will the State make good his recklessness, force him to buy his own leg, or make him hop through the year on one leg? 7. How-are the- thousand and one matters pertaining to private life and habits to be settled without: continually augmenting the power of government? The authority of the most absolute despot who ever Tived never dared to sit on ques- tions we must decide:.Can we do it? Tf we are ever to attain a con-. dition of equality must we not for- bid gifts and exchanges? For, -if men are not to be allowed to grow rich by trading, thust: not the State forbid private exchanges of eve: nature? On the other hand, if the State alone can make exchanges, how can we prevent a.shrewd man from getting rich by dealing with the State itself? lt; Tf the State will not. make ex- changes, what is one to do who has taken a piece of property and finds later he hag no tse for it? For example: If oly grows tired of looking at her pidno, which she cannot. play, and desires to ex- of Horses, must she continue to walk because she cannot effect the exchange? What is to be done with a strong minority who ar bitterly Opposed to the action of the, ma- jority when we assume our per- manent democratic form? change it for a carriage and pair ugha we tax the unbeliever to support a church? Or shall we tax the believer to. pay for light- ing this hall for a weekly ball? Tf churches are built, who-shall determine their cost and their style of architecture if the State erects them? When a theatre is opened, shall adimission be free? If not, what shall be done when receipts fall be- low expenses? What compensation ean we give to those who: hate theatres? If-a small majority want a. dance- hall and- musical extravaganze, and a minority want only : the serious drama, which shall it be? Suppose a majority demand a race- course? Shall the resources of the colony be used- thus against. the bitter protest of those who do not believe in racing? -Suppose, just before. the race-course is finished, the majority become a minority and the work is stopped has the new majority the right to destroy the property and accumulate a new fund for a different purpose? Must a doctor always come when he s.called even for imagi- nary, hysterical, and foolish caus- es? Will the people vote for and eleet.. their own-doctor, or will he be assigned? If the doctor proves a failure, how-will they get rid of him? - If they get rid of him, how can he be saddled on another com- munity? Shall one community suffer at the hands of an incompe- tent man, while a physician of genius ministers to the one -.next door? If a great surgeon is need- ed by.. ten. persons at the same trout, - : which oper jation he shall perform, whe shall liv or die i in consequence? Who shall say when a doctor is not fit to practise? Some men fail in early life and make their great success later. At what period, or after how long a trial, shall it be decided that a man is a failure and must quit his chosen or assigned work? Many. young men promise well at first-and make later miserable ; failures. Many are failures at first rand make great successes. Who shall decide which to continue and whieh to stop?. If a youth is forc- ed to abandon work on which he. has set his heart, how can he be made of service to the community in a work: he loathes? We must continue to make in- ventions, or progress ceases. When the cost: of experiments is greater than the total i income of citizen, how can the inventor bear the ex- pense? Will any man sacrifice his own funds and his own time on an uncertain experiment when he can receive no benefit from the work? Many men are working now over problems all. other men be- lieve. cannot be selved. If the State must furnish the capital to make the experiments of inventors, enormous waste of treasure on senseless and. useless and ar sible inventions? Who can decide whether tases proposed are useless or impossible? All great inventions which have revolutionized the history of ages have been laughed: at by the world. : : How can we punish the job- bery. and waste and corruption which may enter from experiments which are not made in good faith? Cannot any group of :shiewd men pretend to have invented a ma- chine which will save.over half the labor of the colony, and spend millions on this imaginary in- vention which proves useless? If such an abuse of power should be made, would not the effect be to end forever all experiments and stop the progress of the world? When many cities have been built and-one is more healthful, beautiful, and cultured than the others, shall those who live in the poorer cities be allowed to move or be fore d'to. remain where they are? How are sculptors, artiste, musicians, or architects to be ap- portioned among different com- who. will -be responsible for the . mone the right to live in one Some Questions for O Brien s Brand aai2, See, te of Socialism to Answer ei the State publish all books by-all authors, or-will selections be made? If the books are published will not. vast.sums be wasted in ptinting worthless trash? If se- lections are made, what unpreju- died, infallible board ean be found competent te decide? Tf a man chooses to be a writer how many years shall he be al- lowed to. work at his occupation if in the opinion of the judges he shows no talent? . Will the State permit freedom of opinion in the columns of its papers and the books printed? If so, what shall hinder a treasonable conspiracy from destroying respect: for its authority? If opinions are to be edited by the State, how can the freedom of ane press be main- tained? Are women to receive the same allowance a8 men,- and married women the same as spinsters? Shall men and women be re- quired to marry or be allowed: to remain single? Shall all women be made to work? -If it continues to cost more to support'a single can equality of rights be maintain: ed?
