The definition of ‘socialism is its chief and perbaps its only necessary defense. Professor Ely of the Wiscou- sin State University has very truth- fully said that ‘Socialism is: better than the best presentation that has ever been made of it.” [t is our con- viction therefure that if we can get the American people to understand clearly just what socialism is and what it seeks to accomplish and how it seeks to accomplish these things we shall win them Lo it. We seek therefore to make clear just what socialism is, and to do this we must discuss first of all, miscon- septions conserning socialism. First: Socialism is not anarchy. Many think even yet that it is or that it isakin to it‘or leads towards it. On the contrary socialism is quite the opposite to anarchy. The anarch- ist wants to abolish government, the socialists seeks to perfect govern- ment and to extend its functions. They. thus move in the opposite direc- tions. Again the anarchist is an extreme individualist, he believes we can solve the social problem relieve humanity of oppression and lift it to a higher plain by working on the in the Panama affair, hé sedrclied the | individual alone, be therefore tries to records and -quoted from President} salve the social problem by convert- Polk.
