Lincoln, Nebraska. o Kicks for tha Under Deg Editor Independent: In your issue of December 17 you feign to reply to my previous article, as you term it "collectively." It seems plain enough you do not intend to give socialism a fair show. Every time you write of it you create a man of straw, name it socialism, then tear it to pieces. I see little difference between originating a false and scurrilous article and the quoting and indorsement of one. You say "the control of subsistence being in the state, parental control of children woe Id be gone." You talk silly; who is the state but the peopie? ion talk like an autocracy was to be formal with which the people had no conuectkm. I cannot think you aie eo Jsnorant of true socialist! as you appear to be. I' ruler wvlalUra the state will have no more to do with schooling the chil dren than It haa now Would joti rathT the railroad and trust would control the means of subsistence than the tat (poopKM? If so,-yon arc not even a food ppuiut. You mould not ronton! that the trurtM, although con troltlnf th m-ns of miUlstfUie, m trolltnl fdtunHon esopi m an Inuirnt wit, neither would the tate ave a cow.

There are thousands like vonr&f If writing on socialism who know little oi us leacnings, ana tne more shame to them for so doing. Populists evi dently see that socialism will inevit ably supplant populism; hence, the spite, narrowness and determined mis representation of so many populist papers and writers. Socialism has simply taken a principle which the populists applied to a few industries ana applied it to all of the Industries; and if socialism breaks up homes by nationalizing all the Industries, then in me same uegree would popuiism break up homes by nationalizing part of those industries. I notice that you havo become a member of the Volunteer American Press Writers' association of which 1 am a member. I think as a matter of courtesy and aa affording proof of jour fidelity to the reform and lib eral principle of our association that you should give me and oclali.m a fair hearing. H. F. FUKN'CU.
