THE OPEN FORUM
I am writing in a time of reaction, but already the streaks of dawn are
beginning to show. We are soon to witness the social revolution in
Western Europe, and it will not be possible to keep these ideas from
stirring the minds of young America. Our politics will change, and with
that change will come freedom in our state universities, and the
privately endowed institutions will be forced to come along. Just what
will happen in the great centers of snobbery, such as Columbia and
Princeton and Pennsylvania, I do not attempt to predict; perhaps their
faculties will wake up and take control of their own destinies, or
perhaps we shall see in our political life some violent revolutionary
change, which will sweep the plutocratic endowments out of existence all
at once. I am not advocating such a procedure, but I see our ruling
classes doing everything in their power to force it, and if their
efforts should succeed, we may see very quick reforms in American higher
education.
What is it that I want? What should I do if I had my own unhampered way?
Should I kick out all the reactionary professors, and turn Columbia and
Princeton and Pennsylvania into Socialist propaganda clubs? If I could
have my way, I should not commit a single violation of the principles of
academic freedom for which I have pleaded in this book. The trustees and
the presidents should of course be laid on the shelf, for these are
administrative officials, and properly removable when a change of policy
is desired. This would apply equally to the deans as administrators; but
so far as the teachers are concerned, I would do them the honor to set
them free, and plead with them to open their eyes to the new dawn of
social justice. Just as there are thousands of members of the clergy who
would jump up with a shout if they knew they could cease preaching fairy
tales without losing their jobs, so there are thousands of college
professors who would consider the truth if it were presented to them,
and would teach it if they were encouraged.
As for the aged-minded ones—what I should do with them is to compete
them out of business. I really believe in truth, and in the power of
truth to confute error; I take my stand on the sentence of Wendell
Phillips: “If anything cannot stand the truth, let it crack.” What I ask
is free discussion; what I want in the colleges is that both faculty and
students should have opportunity to hear all sides of all questions, and
especially those questions which lie at the heart of the great class
struggle of our time. What I should do to the college would be to
introduce a few live young professors who know modern ideas, and would
lecture on modern books and modern political movements, explaining the
revolutionary spirit which is vitalizing history, philosophy, religion
and art. You would see in a year or two how the students thronged to
these live men, and how the old men would have to wake up and fight for
their prestige.
This is the plan of the open forum, and I urge groups of young
professors and students everywhere to take their stand on that. We
desperately need men to lift their voices in this cause just now, for in
the last eight bitter years the American people have shown that they
have no idea what free speech means—no trace of such an idea! We sent
one or two thousand men to jail for the crime of expressing unpopular
opinion; as I write, four years after the armistice, we are still
holding seventy-six such men in torment, and the great mass of authority
which controls our politics, our press and our pulpits shows that it has
no conception whatever of the right of a man to advocate an unpopular
belief, or of the danger to society involved in the crushing of minority
opinion.
It is not too much to say that in America today it is a general and
firmly held conviction that to believe and teach certain ideas is a
crime. And from where shall we expect opposition to this survival of
savagery among us, if not from our universities, which are supposed to
be dedicated to the search for truth? It is the shame of our time that
our colleges and universities have been silent while freedom of opinion
has been strangled in America. Right here is the crucial issue, here is
where the call for academic heroes and martyrs goes out. The few of us
who believe in the truth have an organization, which will back you and
furnish you with ammunition in this fight; if you do not know its
literature, write to the American Civil Liberties Union, New York City.
I have heard the arguments of the reactionaries, their cries of horror
at the idea that the sensitive minds of the young should be exposed to
the corruption of vicious and incendiary ideas. To this the answer is
plain: if any parent wants to keep his child from thinking, there is no
law to deny him this power, but he should keep that child at home, and
not send it to an institution which exists for the purpose of training
young men and women to use the faculties of the mind. Colleges and
universities are places, or should be places, for those who wish to
think; and for any institution making such a pretense there can be but
one rule of procedure, which is that all ideas are given a hearing and
tried out in the furnace of controversy.
I am aware, of course, that there are lunatics in the world, and an
infinite variety of cranks and bores—my mail is burdened with their
writings, and they keep my door bell buzzing. I do not mean to say that
college platforms should be turned over to such people; what I do say
is, that whenever any considerable group of thinking people claim to
have important new ideas to teach the world, they should be given a
hearing in colleges, and if their ideas are unsound, let it be the
business of the college to produce some one on the same platform to
expose that unsoundness. The one thing that should never be heard inside
college walls, or in connection with college policy, is that ideas
should be suppressed because they are “dangerous”—because, in other
words, they might win converts if they were given a hearing!
I met on my journey a horrified university trustee, who exclaimed:
“What! You would permit anarchists and I. W. W.’s to speak at our
institution?”
My answer was a counter-question: “Do you think that anarchism is right,
or that it is wrong?”
The answer was: “Wrong!”
“Then,” I said, “why are you afraid to hear it?”
“I am not afraid for myself, but when you are dealing with young
minds”—and there you are; we must protect the minds of the young! It is
hard for the old to realize that the young may have older minds, having
grown up in a world with better means of thinking and of spreading
ideas.
We deported Emma Goldman, and thought we had thereby prevented the
spread of anarchism; which shows that whatever else our colleges and
universities have done, they have not taught us the psychology of
martyrdom. I agree with the university trustee in thinking that
anarchism is wrong—at least for a hundred years or so; but my way of
handling Emma Goldman would have been to run her on a lecture tour in
every American college and university, in a debate with some thoroughly
trained expert in the history of social evolution. I would have let all
the students hear her, and keep her until midnight answering questions;
so, if there was truth in her views it would have spread, and if there
was error the students would have been inoculated against it for life.
Some years ago I wrote that I should like to send every clergyman in the
United States to jail for a week; this not out of any ill will for the
church, but as a step toward prison reform. In the same way I should
like to see our college students go to jail; or barring that, I should
like to have the prisoners come to the colleges, to tell the students
how men become criminals, and what society could do about it. Some of
the most interesting men I ever met were criminals, and others were
tramps, and others were social revolutionists. I should like to see all
college students go to work in factories, and I should like to see the
leaders of labor, both conservatives and radicals, brought to the
colleges to tell the students about industrial problems. Let the
employers come also—both sides would be more careful of their facts if
they knew they had to present them before a jury of wide-awake students
and highly trained faculty members. What a service the college might
perform, in toning down the bitterness of the class struggle, if the
faculty made it their business to invite both sides in every labor
dispute to come and justify themselves; if the faculty would keep at it,
and accept no refusal, but “smoke out” the arrogant ones, who take,
either publicly or privately, the old-style attitude of “the public be
damned!”
That is my program for colleges—to discuss the vital ideas, the subjects
that men are arguing and fighting over, the problems that must be solved
if our society is not to be rent by civil war. Everybody is interested
in these questions, old and young, rich and poor, high and low, and if
you deal with them you solve several vexing problems at once. You solve
the problem of getting students to study, and also the problem of
student morals; you turn your college from a country club to which
elegant young gentlemen come to wear good clothes and play games, and
more or less in secret to drink and carouse—you turn it from that into a
place where ideas are taken seriously, and the young learn the use of
the most wonderful tool that the human race has so far developed, that
of experimental science.
When you understand this weapon and its powers, you are no longer afraid
of the specters and the goblins, the dragons and devils and other
monsters which haunted the imagination of our racial childhood. You
know; you know precisely, and you know certainly, and so you are free
from fear; you go out into life as a young warrior with an enchanted
sword, all powerful against all enemies. To forge that sword and train
you in the care of it and the use of it—that is the true task of our
institutions of higher education. To that end the call goes out to all
men and women, who have learned to believe in reason, and wish to have
it vindicated and used in the world. Our educational system today is in
the hands of its last organized enemy, which is class greed and
selfishness based upon economic privilege. To slay that monster is to
set free all the future. If this book helps to make clear the issue, and
to bring fresh recruits to the army of emancipation, its purpose will be
served and its author will be content.
It was my original intention to write a book dealing with our whole
educational system; but as you have seen, the mass of material dealing
with colleges alone proved sufficient to make a full-sized book. It is
my purpose to follow this with a second volume, dealing with the public
schools, and entitled “The Goslings.”

=Proposition to Reprint=
The Early Books of Upton Sinclair
All the books written by me from 1901 to 1911 are now out of print and
unobtainable. These include:
“=Manassas=,” which Jack London called “The best Civil War book I have
read.”
“=Samuel the Seeker=,” which Frederik van Eeden, the Dutch poet and
novelist, considered my best novel.
“=The Metropolis=,” a novel portraying “Four Hundred” of New York, which
caused a sensation in its day.
“=The Moneychangers=,” a novel dealing with the causes of the panic of
1907.
“=The Journal of Arthur Stirling=,” which is my favorite among my early
books.
“=Jimmie Higgins=,” a novel of the war, published in 1918, and already
out of print.
It is my wish to reprint these six books in a uniform edition, both
cloth-bound and paper-bound. The price will be 60 cents a copy paper and
$1.20 a copy cloth. In order to obtain the necessary capital for this
publication I wish to hear from those who will agree to take the six
volumes, in sets put up in a box. The price will be $2.50 per set
paper-bound and $5.00 per set cloth-bound. You need not send the money;
all I want is to know how many of my readers will take these books when
they are published. If a sufficient number of guarantees are received
the books will be issued in the summer of 1923. The very low price in
sets is intended only for advance orders, and will not be repeated.

=Who Owns the Press, and Why?=
When you read your daily paper, are you reading facts or propaganda? And
whose propaganda?
Who furnishes the raw material for your thoughts about life? Is it
honest material?
No man can ask more important questions than these; and here for the
first time the questions are answered in a book.
=THE BRASS CHECK=
A Study of American Journalism
By UPTON SINCLAIR
Read the record of this book to August, 1920: Published in February,
1920; first edition, 23,000 paper-bound copies, sold in two weeks.
Second edition, 21,000 paper-bound, sold before it could be put to
press. Third edition, 15,000, and fourth edition, 12,000, sold. Fifth
edition, 15,000, in press. Paper for sixth edition, 110,000, just
shipped from the mill. The third and fourth editions are printed on
“number one news”; the sixth will be printed on a carload of lightweight
brown wrapping paper—all we could get in a hurry.
The first cloth edition, 16,500 copies, all sold; a carload of paper for
the second edition, 40,000 copies, has just reached our printer—and so
we dare to advertise!
Ninety thousand copies of a book sold in six months—and published by the
author, with no advertising, and only a few scattered reviews! What this
means is that the American people want to know the truth about their
newspapers. They have found the truth in “The Brass Check” and they are
calling for it by telegraph. Put these books on your counter, and you
will see, as one doctor wrote us—“they melt away like the snow.”
From the pastor of the Community Church, New York:
“I am writing to thank you for sending me a copy of your new book,
‘The Brass Check.’ Although it arrived only a few days ago, I have
already read it through, every word, and have loaned it to one of my
colleagues for reading. The book is tremendous. I have never read a
more strongly consistent argument or one so formidably buttressed by
facts. You have proved your case to the handle. I again take
satisfaction in saluting you not only as a great novelist, but as the
ablest pamphleteer in America today. I am already passing around the
word in my church and taking orders for the book.”—John Haynes Holmes.

copies, $4.50. Single copy, cloth, $1.20 postpaid; three copies, $3.00;

They Call Me Carpenter
By UPTON SINCLAIR
Would you like to meet Jesus? Would you care to walk down Broadway with
him in the year 1922? What would he order for dinner in a lobster
palace? What would he do in a beauty parlor? What would he make of a
permanent wave? What would he say to Mary Magna, million dollar queen of
the movies? And how would he greet the pillars of St. Bartholomew’s
Church? How would he behave at strike headquarters? What would he say at
a mass meeting of the “reds”? And what would the American Legion do to
him?
_From the “Survey”_:
“Upton Sinclair has a reputation for rushing in where angels fear to
tread. He has done it again and, artist that he is, has mastered the
most difficult theme with ease and sureness. That the figure of Jesus
is woven into a novel which is glorious fun, in itself will shock many
people. But the graphic arts have long been given the liberty of
treating His life in a contemporary setting—why not the novelist?
“Heywood Broun and other critics notwithstanding, it must be stated
that Sinclair has treated the figure of Christ with a reverence far
more sincere than that of writings in which His presence is shrouded
in pseudo-mystic inanity. By an artistry borrowed from the technique
of modern expressionist fiction, he has combined downright realism
with an extravagant imaginativeness in which the appearance of Christ
is no more improper than it is in the actual dreams of hundreds of
thousands of devout Christians.
“Like all of Sinclair’s writings, this book is, of course, a Socialist
tract; but here—in a spirit which entirely destroys Mr. Broun’s charge
that he has made Christ the spokesman of one class—he is unmerciful in
his exposure of the sins of the poor as well as of the rich, and
directs at the comrades in radical movements a sermon which every
churchman will gladly endorse.
“It is not necessary to recommend a book that will find its way into
thousands of homes. Incidentally one wonders how a story so
colloquially American—Mr. Broun considers this bad taste—can possibly
be translated into the Hungarian, the Chinese and the dozen or so
other languages in which Sinclair’s books are devoured by the common
people of the world.”
Price, $1.75 cloth, postpaid.

_A book which has been absolutely boycotted by the literary reviews of
America._
THE PROFITS OF RELIGION
BY UPTON SINCLAIR
A study of Supernaturalism as a Source of Income and a Shield to
Privilege; the first examination in any language of institutionalized
religion from the economic point of view. “Has the labour as well as the
merit of breaking virgin soil,” writes Joseph McCabe. The book has had
practically no advertising and only two or three reviews in radical
publications; yet forty thousand copies have been sold in the first
year.
_From the Rev. John Haynes Holmes_: “I must confess that it has fairly
made me writhe to read these pages, not because they are untrue or
unfair, but on the contrary, because I know them to be the real facts.
I love the church as I love my home, and therefore it is no pleasant
experience to be made to face such a story as this which you have
told. It had to be done, however, and I am glad you have done it, for
my interest in the church, after all, is more or less incidental,
whereas my interest in religion is a fundamental thing.... Let me
repeat again that I feel that you have done us all a service in the
writing of this book. Our churches today, like those of ancient
Palestine, are the abode of Pharisees and scribes. It is as spiritual
and helpful a thing now as it was in Jesus’ day for that fact to be
revealed.”
_From Luther Burbank_: “No one has ever told ‘the truth, the whole

of applause of ‘The Profits of Religion.’ It is something more than a
book—it is a Work!”

=A New Novel by Upton Sinclair=
100%
THE STORY OF A PATRIOT
Would you like to go behind the scenes and see the “invisible
government” of your country saving you from the Bolsheviks and the Reds?
Would you like to meet the secret agents and provocateurs of “Big
Business,” to know what they look like, how they talk and what they are
doing to make the world safe for democracy? Several of these gentlemen
have been haunting the home of Upton Sinclair during the past three
years and he has had the idea of turning the tables and investigating
the investigators. He has put one of them, Peter Gudge by name, into a
book, together with Peter’s ladyloves, and his wife, and his boss and a
whole group of his fellow-agents and their employers.
The hero of this book is a red-blooded, 100% American, a “he-man” and no
mollycoddle. He begins with the Mooney case, and goes through half a
dozen big cases of which you have heard. His story is a fact-story of
America from 1916 to 1920, and will make a bigger sensation than “The
Jungle.” Albert Rhys Williams, author of “Lenin” and “In the Claws of
the German Eagle,” read the MS. and wrote:
“This is the first novel of yours that I have read through with real
interest. It is your most timely work, and is bound to make a
sensation. I venture that you will have even more trouble than you had
with ‘The Brass Check’—in getting the books printed fast enough.”

JIMMIE HIGGINS
“Jimmie Higgins” is the fellow who does the hard work in the job of
waking up the workers. Jimmie hates war—all war—and fights against it
with heart and soul. But war comes, and Jimmie is drawn into it, whether
he will or no. He has many adventures—strikes, jails, munitions
explosions, draft-boards, army-camps, submarines and battles. “Jimmie
Higgins Goes to War” at last, and when he does he holds back the German
army and wins the battle of “Chatty Terry.” But then they send him into
Russia to fight the Bolsheviki, and there “Jimmie Higgins Votes for
Democracy.”
A picture of the American working-class movement during four years of
world-war; all wings of the movement, all the various tendencies and
clashing impulses are portrayed. Cloth, $1.20 postpaid.
_From “The Candidate”_: I have just finished reading the first
installment of “Jimmie Higgins” and I am delighted with it. It is the
beginning of a great story, a story that will be translated into many
languages and be read by eager and interested millions all over the
world. I feel that your art will lend itself readily to “Jimmie
Higgins,” and that you will be at your best in placing this dear
little comrade where he belongs in the Socialist movement. The opening
story of your chapter proves that you know him intimately. So do I and
I love him with all my heart, even as you do. He has done more for me
than I shall ever be able to do for him. Almost anyone can be “The
Candidate,” and almost anyone will do for a speaker, but it takes the
rarest of qualities to produce a “Jimmie Higgins.” You are painting a
superb portrait of our “Jimmie” and I congratulate you.
EUGENE V. DEBS.
_From Mrs. Jack London_: Jimmie Higgins is immense. He is real, and so
are the other characters. I’m sure you rather fancy Comrade Dr.
Service! The beginning of the narrative is delicious with an
irresistible loving humor; and as a change comes over it and the Big
Medicine begins to work, one realizes by the light of 1918, what you
have undertaken to accomplish. The sure touch of your genius is here,
Upton Sinclair, and I wish Jack London might read and enjoy.
CHARMIAN LONDON.
_From a Socialist Artist_: Jimmie Higgins’ start is a master portrayal
of that character. I have been out so long on these lecture tours that
I can appreciate the picture. I am waiting to see how the story
develops. It starts better than “King Coal.”

Concerning
=The Jungle=
Not since Byron awoke one morning to find himself famous has there been
such an example of world-wide celebrity won in a day by a book as has
come to Upton Sinclair.—_New York Evening World._
---
It is a book that does for modern industrial slavery what “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin” did for black slavery. But the work is done far better and more
accurately in “The Jungle” than in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”—_Arthur Brisbane
in the New York Evening Journal._
---
I never expected to read a serial. I am reading “_The Jungle_,” and I
should be afraid to trust myself to tell how it affects me. It is a
great work. I have a feeling that you yourself will be dazed some day by
the excitement about it. It is impossible that such a power should not
be felt. It is so simple, so true, so tragic and so human. It is so
eloquent, and yet so exact. I must restrain myself or you may
misunderstand.—_David Graham Phillips._
---
In this fearful story the horrors of industrial slavery are as vividly
drawn as if by lightning. It marks an epoch in revolutionary
literature.—_Eugene V. Debs._
---
Mr. Heinemann isn’t a man to bungle;
He’s published a book which is called “The Jungle.”
It’s written by Upton Sinclair, who
Appears to have heard a thing or two
About Chicago and what men do
Who live in that city—a loathsome crew.
It’s there that the stockyards reek with blood,
And the poor man dies, as he lives, in mud;
The Trusts are wealthy beyond compare,
And the bosses are all triumphant there,
And everything rushes without a skid
To be plunged in a hell which has lost its lid.
For a country where things like that are done
There’s just one remedy, only one,
A latter-day Upton Sinclairism
Which the rest of us know as Socialism.
Here’s luck to the book! It will make you cower,
For it’s written with wonderful, thrilling power.
It grips your throat with a grip Titanic,
And scatters shams with a force volcanic.
Go buy the book, for I judge you need it,
And when you have bought it, read it, read it.
—_Punch_ (_London_).
