...popular mind, the term "socialism" so often connotes empassioned gentlemen who speak from soap-box platforms and who have no other platforms whatever. The red flag and the harangue had no place with the earliest formulators of socialistic principle. Socialists of the stamp of Russean and Babeux, for instance, saw in their rather visionary conceptions of a commonalty of mankind the most complete amelioration of the social evils that beset France in the 18th century. With the gradual disruption and decay of the French monarchy and the Church in France there had come a surprising shake-up of society...
When the people are aroused to these evils--it is only a question of education--and the bills are passed, the new laws will be found hard to enforce. Mince pie, in Kansas as elsewhere, is often so disguised as to make detection difficult. In Oregon, the law could be easily rendered impotent in its intended purpose by showing cigarette posters of attractive young girls in the act of smoking.

When the Munson liner Munargo anchors outside the bar-guarded harbor and the stubby tender puts out from town with homegoers, people on shore feel sorry for people on the tender. People on the tender feel sorry...
...great part of the difficulty in estimating the worth of the Student Friendship Fund lies in the absence of publicity about its aims and about its methods. Even those few students who have supported the movement in Harvard University in the past have very often had little idea of where their contributions were to go. the literature that has been given undergraduates on the subject has been woefully inadequate, so much so that misunderstanding of the Christian Federation is probably as prevalent as is ignorance of its existence...
