A mighty good person to lean
on hard;
With we in your jeans you can’t

You'll find me, old man, a dan-

You can look ’em all in their
starin’ eye,
If I'm packed in your pocket
tight;
And you know, too, boss, you'll
move right spry
With me for your buddy bright.
If I've squeezed you a bit to make
me yours,
Just think o’ the lads across the

And know I'm one of the Kultur

I'm a winner of war—A Liberty

WHAT'S SO AND WHAT ISN'T
Copyrighted by JOHN M. WORK
MENTAL LABOR.
No, Socialism will not discourage mental labor.
Capitalism discourages mental labor.
Capitalism prevents the vast majority of children from
getting a good education.
Capitalism also prevents the vast majority of adults from
cutlivating their minds.
For a number of years a certain branch of the Y. M. C. A.
has discovered by actual investigation that more than twenty-
five per cent of the men who apply for aid are men who have
been educated in university, college, academy or high school.
The startling enormity of these figures will be realized
when we consider that less than two per cent of the youth of
the United States graduate from high school, and less than
one-half of one per cent graduate from ocllege. ,
It is impossible for one to go through a higher institution
of learning without taking on some measure of refinement and
culture, which makes it disgusting for him to have to work
111 the petty grafts and stocg to the brutalities that are neces-
sary in order to get ahead under capitalism. ] Of course, many
swallow their qualms, chloroform their consicences, and go in
to iwn. When they do this, their superior intelligence enables
them to outstrip many of their competitors. So, they are well
represented among “successful” politicians and “successful”
business men.
But when such a man holds on to his aversion to being a
grafter, he too often finds himself crowded out. Not being
skilled in any trade, he also finds it difficult to make a living
by manual labor. Hence, the disproportionately large per-
centage of these men among the unemployed and the tramps.
“ Capitalism putsa premium on mere superficial business
education. It discourages broad and liberal education.
Socialism will-give everyone an opportunity to secure a
broad and liberal education.
Socialism does not propose to abolish mental labor and
give the entire product of society to manual labor.
When we speak of the working class, we do not mean
merely those who work with their hands, but those who worl:
with their brains as well. The fact is that every worker works
with both brain apd hands. In some cases, the one prepon-
derates; in other cases the other preponderates.
Those who take delight in building up a straw man, nam-
ing him Sociialism, and then knocking him down, frequently
say that the Socialists intend to get along without brains, that
they despise men who have a genius for managing industries,
that they think such men are socially useless, and that they
propose to attempt to get along without them.
- This, of course, is nonsense.
The man who has a genius for managing industries will be
sure of a good job in the Socialistic commonwealth.
He will be in demand. : §
We honor him for his ability now.
He is usually a hired man. ;
The real capitalist does not manage the industries. He
sits’ in his office and figures out*ways ‘and means of investing
his money to the best advantage. He owns stocks and bonds
in dozens of corporations and takes practicaliy no part in the
management of any of them. At the most he attends a meet-
ing of the board of directors now and then and has his say re-
garding the general policy of the business.
But the actual managing is done by the managers, the
superintendents, the foremen, etc. Sometimes they are stock-
holders, sometimes not. In so far as they draw an income
from investments, they are capitalists also. But, in so far as
they do the actual work of managing industry, they do neces-
sary and useful social labor and are entitled to compensation
therefor. !
A capitalist is only a capitalist in so far as he rakes into
his own coffers the earnings of others by owning the means of
production and distribution, directly or indirectly. He may
get this income through dividends, or rent, or interest, or profits,
or unearned salary. He may draw a big salary without doing
anything. Or, he may draw a salary altogether out of pro-
portion to his actual labor, so that most of it, or a part of it, is
unearned. But, when he does take a hand in production or
distribution himself, by doing some of the actual useful work
of managing industry, to that extent he is not a capitalist, but
Socialism fully recognizes this. And Social-
ism proposes only to abolish his function as a capitalist. It
does not propose to baloish his function as a brain worker.
Socialism’ proposes to pay the brain worker for his brain
work, not for investments.

INE separator users out of ten turn the handles of their
machines too slowly, and when this is done, not only wi
the machine not skim as clean as it should, but the thickness
of the cream will vary.
While it is » sible to adapt the capacity of the machine to
the speed, it is™iot desirable to do this, because even if fairly
clean skimming is accomplished at vary-
ing speeds, the cream will not be uni-
form in thickness.
There is only one satisfactory solu-
tion, and that is to make it practically
impossible for the operator to run his
machine at any but the proper speed.
