Professor Sprague's objections to socialism as a subject for debate are an interesting illustration of the change in thought since the early nineteenth century. Even fifty years ago there was no doubt in the public mind as to the definition of a socialist--a revolutionist and a social renegade. At that time he was as easily recognized by his objections to the status quo as by his proposed methods of reaching Utopia. Now it is somewhat difficult to find even a "blood-sucking capitalist" to agree that all's right in the world. The socialist's ideal has expanded...
...theories will be promulgated and many more volumes will be writen. He is, and will be, seen as a narrow-minded demagogue as well as an extraordinary leader and statesman; as a fiend incarnate as well as a glorious martyr.
