A writer in Van Norden’s Magazine says that socialism lock, stock and barrel—was tried out in China nine hundred | years ago, and failed. Hence, it will fail if we try it, Human} nature being selfish, an altruistic system must fail, See? This looks like corking good logic to those of us who do net believe in socialism—until we are told that the blamed Chinese have tried—and abandoned—almost everything, The measly argument proves too much! They tried the mariner’s compass, and gunpowder, and printing, and prohibition, and free trade, and protection, and local option, and base ball, and aeroplanes and everything And they all failed! They went back to an idegraphic system of writing, women’s feet, and built the Chinese wall in place of the Ding} Lee law which shut out foreign labor as our Dingley bill does | Dog on it, they tried the steam engine, and it didn’t work! | ‘And here we are fooling with the crude thing yet, just as we} are with the mariner’s compass, oblivious of the fact that the} engine and the compass have been shown to be worthless by used brushes instead of type, compressed their Chinese history! | The Chinese history sharks show that everything's a} failure. The answerers of Henry George used to refute his match- less logic by calmly alleging that the Chinese had tried and con-/ } demned single tax long ago. And now they tell us that they tried and condemned the} guaranty of bank deposits! What's the use? We may as well turn up our national toes and die. The Chinese have proven that every living thing we are doing or want to do is a delusion and a snare. | “O threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise! ; “One thing at least is certain—-THIS Life flies! “One thing is certain, and the rest is Lies; | “The flower that once has blown, forever dies!" Must we adopt this doctrine of despair, driven to it by the yellow peril? Tt looks like it-—and yet, there is a gleam of hope in the] thought that the steam engine, the compass, and even single tax} of socialism, may be verities, and the Chinese history sharks frauds. These savants may be—we don't assert it, mind—but} they may be full of undigested historical prunes | Newspaper writers are loudly shouting (in type) that New] York has tried the guaranty of deposits and failed. We find, however, merely that a fund raised in New York to guarantee bank circulation failed to make good when the law was con-| stfued so as to call on it to insure deposits, too, Of course} it did. Just as a life insurance company would fail if the courts should decide they had to pay sick benefits out of straight life premiums as well as death losses | So, we find, New York never tried the plan the democrats advocate, and which Oklahoma possesses. There is a gleam of! hope in this. Maybe China never tried all those things and con-| demned them. Take heart, progressives and liberals! Let us} go on and try the thing that to us seems good, and tell the, Chinese history sharks to go to thunder, THE ARCHITECT OF TODAY BUILDS HIGH, EVEN THOUGH THE TOWER OF BABEL WAS 4 FAILURE—BUT THEY BUILD DIF 4n English woman with 23 children arrived in New York yester- day.
