Excerpt from Poisoning Democracy: A Study of the Moral and Religious Aspects of Socialism Such, then, is the picture, and such are the argu ments that are presented by our friends the socialists. But it remains for us to examine more carefully the world program that they propose, to see if their methods are equal to the emergency, and are likely to succeed. There is no doubt that in our world many things need remedying; the chief question is, Can we trust to the measures proposed by Socialism for the transformation of human society?
