Annual Father and
. M
SonWeekofY.M.CA.
To Comeini Januaiy
The Omaha father and ion week,
which was attended last year by 6,500
fathers and torn, will be observed
again thit year frdm January, 22 to
29 and will be promoted as it has
been in the past, by the churches ol
Omaha and the boys' division of the
Y. M. C. A. It is expected that
many more-churches, clubs and other
organizations willtake part this yeaf
and that over 10,000 fathers and sons
will take part in tie week's ob
servance.
The first father and son event was
held in 190, so that the idea is only
12 years old. It was conceived by
B. if. Russell, boys-' work secretary
of the Y. M. C. A. in Providence,
R. I., and the first banquet was put
on . by this Y. M. C. A. Other Y.
M.'G A.s were quick to take up the
suggestion, but the first city to put
on a week s observance throughout
the country was" Detroit In 1917, only
four years ago.
The idea has been fostered and pro
moted ever since its conception by
the Y. M. C. A.s of North America,
and they have co-operated with the
churches in making it a really bi.'
city-wide institution. Last year it
was ' so popular that the week had
to be extended teJ two weeks to take
in ill the churches.
The Omaha father and son commit
tee is composed of one representative
from each church and the hoys' work
committee of the Y. M. C. A. The
cHairman is J. H. Beveridije and the
MiCklewright, bovs work secretary
of the Omaha Y. M. C. A. , ;

Dean I. E. LeRossignol of the Col
lege of Business Administration of the
University of Nebraska, has Just had
published by the Crowell company,
What Is Socialism?" an analysis
and refutation of the claims of Marx
ian socialism.
Capitalism, says Dean LeRossignol,
is a going concern. Despite its
faults, despite the many evils which
must be remedied, it offers great ad
vantages. It has done much in the
fast, and will do more in the future,
f men are rational, if truth can be
taught, if people can be wiely led,
capitalism will maintain its su
premacy, though in a modified and
improved form. These are the con
clusions of Dr. LeRossignol after
years of study of the tenets of the
socialists. It is interesting to note
that the psychological foundations of
this "progressive capitalism" are also
those of Marx.
Dr. LeRossignol takes up the creed
of the socialists point by point, and
concludes that the entire economic
and logical base of the Marxists is a
oaricature. Especially singled out for
study from Marx's beliefs, are the
economic interpretation of history,
the labor theory of value, the law
of increasing misery, the theory of
surplus value, the theory of concen
tration of capital and the idea of
class struggle and an attendant revo
lution. A chapter on "The Sects of
Socialism" gives a good historical
sketch and summary of the leading
branches of the radical and socialist
movement.
' A chapter on "The Nonpartisan
League" will be of special interest
to readers in this section of the coun
try. The author takes up the rela
tionship between this movement and
the socialist parties. He points out
that the farmers are not socialists,
really constitute the bulwark of cap
italism in this country, and that re
forms given to the farmers will help
allay the agricultural unrest. Even
though the Nonpartisan league disap
pears, the farmers will secure cer
tain necessary reforms, the writer de
clares. "What is Socialism?" is well writ
ten, and is written in a style that is
easy to read. It is a book, the author
thinks, for the averace man who is
restless under the existing order
and is turning toward the socialists,
as well as for all persons interested
in public questions. It is primarily
a criticism. It presents, however,
the positive proposal of reforms in
the distribution of wealth and owner
ship of property as the means of
stopping the tide of discontent. Dr.
LeRossignol thinks that diffusion of
wealth will come. He believes that It
will come as au alternative to so
cial revolution.
