EVERYBODY is beginning to see it now. It is manifest in all the great countries of the world, indicated in the elections in England and in the various parliaments of the Old World. The New York Independent remarks, in its issue of February 1: But that things are changing we are reminded almost every day. The sort of political struggle that has been going on in the little state of Belgium for a quarter of a century, between a socialistic working class and a rich employing class, is making its way into the larger countries. Notwithstanding the strenuous efforts of the kaiser and the privileged orders in Germany to bring international questions to the fore, the real issues in every part of Germany are those of agrarianism and socialism, and the Socialists have all but obtained complete control in the Reichstag. Throughout France the working-man's movement plays an increasingly-important part in national politics, and the Socialists have a strong representation in the Chamber of Deputies. The above journal questions the way in which it may come in with those in power who will not yield to it without blood-letting and disruption, and thus concludes: We ought not in this land to drift blindly on into a regime of purely proletarian socialism. Such socialistic measures as we adopt should be a civic socialism, adopted and supported by a broad-minded citizenship, embracing public-spirited men of every economic class, of every profession, of every grade of educational attainment. Certainly the great struggle is on between Roman Catholicism and Socialism. The outcome is certainly predicted in the Word of God.
