The speaker em ployed the Sdcratlc method in present ing his subject and by means of ques tions and answers made his remarks very plain. He said in part: "Socialists may bo divided into two classes, broad and strict. Broad so cialists havo in view the betterment of society. Strict socialists would equalize Industrially, , financially and otherwise all mankind. Now how can this bo done? Who would reduce him self to the station of the negro In the eouth, or who would undertake to ele vate him to tho standard of the aver age white man? There havo been writ ers on socialism since tho time of Plato, whoso own "Republic" Is but a literary dream which no people can follow. Licurgim forced a form of so cialism upon the Spartans which was carried out for a while, and tho early Christians of Jerusalem practiced so cialism by placing their savings in a common fund, but no further than this did they go. Sir Thomas Moore's "Eutopla," is an essay upon which several modern socialists have based their writings. The haughty display of wealth by some of the rich also has added much to its growth. But perfect equality of mankind is a llction wnicn can never be realized. Fraternity as an explanation, like patriotism, is a last resort of scoundrels. Socialism is a proposed system of industrial asso ciation, taking the place of civil gov ernment, and taking as a basis of lib erty and equality the public distribu tion of all tho fruits of labor. It is a destruction of human society, by ig noring the chief aim of life, the gain ing of intellectual perfection. Man, according to the socialists idea is a IPfro machine. Socialism is unjust VfiAvard the private ownership of land, and would rob the possessor of an un just public ownership. 1'uunc produc tion and ownership is impracticable. How could a social unit be determined? How would tho socialist reward just ly the blacksmith, the physician, tho street cleaner and tho Inventor? Some say by rotation of labor; but how ab surd to think of the banker shoeing horses one day and practicing medlcino the next. Socialism is the death knell of liberty and tho foe of Christianity. It is necessarily hostile to authority and therefor tends toward Infidelity. Socialism and anarchy are brothers. Both are honest as all fanatics aro honest. Socialism resents to bo called by its brother's name and anarchy feels honored by socialism." Y. W. C. A. Treasurer's Report. Treasurer's report for school year ending June, 1903. RECEIPTS.

The poriod was taken up by Pro fessor Barbour in the first of a series of stereopticon lectures he has pre pared. Tho lecture was highly in structive and very much appreciated. Telescopic views of nebulae were ex hibited and in commenting on the neb ular hypothesis Dr. Barbour said there were new theories regarding t lie for mation of the planetary system, but tho nebular hypothesis stands today about the same as It niwnys has. An Imposing view was the first mist, tho luminosity of which is not entirely understood and may be self luminary or Illuminated by reflected light. Sev eral views were shown illustrating the planetary system and the location of tho planets in respects to distance from the sun was briefly explained. Tho professor called attention to Sat urn, and invited all to take a look at this singular planet through the telo scope, as it is visible now on any clear night. Views illustrating tho clouds of fire as they exist on tho sun'B surface and as they once existed on tho earth's surface, and solar volcanoes and chro mospheric protuberances were shown and in connection with these a view of the eruption of Vesuvius, a tremen dous earthly disturbance, yet ono very mild when compared with those of the sun were shown. Tho surface of the moon is most interesting, with its craters and tall mountain peaks, with no dispersion of light, and no moisture nor storms to wear them down. Com ing to tho dawn of life on the earth after the primeval storm, tho landscape was one of water. Then came forests of huge club mosses and large soft wood trees and the appearance of prim itive life; then man himself primitive and unclothed. The remaining views were photographs of various regions of tho earth, caves and underground passage ways, also waterfalls, can yons and geysers nd the lecture closed with tho most striking of all a large fresh-water lnko out of which rose a small mound, on which men could fish and Immediately boil their catch in the hot water gushing out of tho mound. Dr. Barbour did not go into detail about this fish story, as the time was already up. Another lecture will be given in the near future. Restaurant Unique, 1228 t) street.
