ucnun, uunicicu mo iwi,uiv. vi "ti..,
Ism" last night In Memorial Hail 10
a wU-filled house. 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."

STEREOPTICAN LECTURE. 0
Dr. Barbour Entertains Students
at Chapel.
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.
