Excerpt from The Challenge of Socialism
I am not here maintaining that the socialists are the true prophets or that socialism is the inevitable form of society. I am simply maintaining that it behooves us to study very carefully a movement which has grown faster in the last generation than any other movement in the history of the world, with the exception of the Moham medan religion in the years immediately following the death of the prophet. The socialist vote increased in the United States from in the presidential election of 1900 to in that of 1904. In France it increased from in 1887 to in 1906; in Germany from in 1887 to (far the largest party vote in the Empire) in 1903; and in the countries of western E'urope and the United States from in 1870 to in 1905. As yet we do scarcely more than rub our eyes and stare at these figures. But they in vite us to read and ponder.
In the brief hour at my disposal I have planned to deal with three aspects o-f socialism: the first historical, to give a summary View of the course of socialistic thought in the last half century; the second expository, to set forth some of the tenets agreed on by the socialists quite gen erally; and the third critical, to indicate what should be the attitude toward the socialist claims and principles of those who, like us, are pledged to the doctrine of the su preme value of the ethical life.
