REV. ULISS LECTURES.
Rev. W. D. I llllss addressed tho uni
versity Political Economy club yesterday
evening on "Christian Socialism." Tho
lower part of the university chapel was
comfortably filled. Tho audlctico of Mr.
Hllss comprised many down-town people.
Hut university people made up the greater
part of the audience. Several members
of the faculty wore In attendance.
Rev. Mr. Hllss wns emphatic In saying
that socialism Is not anarchy. Ho thought
It Just the opposite, of anarchy. Mr.
Hllss did not want It understood that all
Industry Is to bo run by tho government
under a socialistic state, "For," said he,
"socialism Is also opposed to paternalism.
It Is not a moro Jump Into Utopia. Social
ists are ovolutlonlsts. Soclnllsm was first
Ideal, noxt It was revolutionary, now It
Is cvolutlonnl or constructive."
Tho speaker eulogized Carl Marx for
turning socialism from a revolutionary
to an evolutional course.
Mr. Bliss defined socialism of today as,
"tho ownership and operation of Industry
by community, collectively organized."
Tho lecturer thought thnt under tho
present Individualistic state, both tho em
ploye and employer wero helpless, espe
cially tho latter. He dwelt at length on
the present Insecurity of labor. Professor
Warner of Leland Stanford university haB
tabulated the causes of poverty. Seventy
five per cent of It Is duo to lack of work
or a condition for which tho Individual Is
not to bo held responsible. Twenty-ono
per cent was found to bo due to causes
over which the Individual had control.
Eleven per cent of the latter was due to
drink. Tho speaker, however, did not lay
tho blame for that poverty at the feet
of tho employer. He thought tho em
ployer could not hire more men or pay
them greater wages, as affairs aro today.
The speaker hero took a few snap shots
at tho clergymen. Ho thought they were
preaching a narrow. Impracticable doc
trine. Ho believed that under competi
tion the smnller employers, ns well as
tho employes, are being crushed to the
wall, so that tho choice comes between
prnctlcnl co-operation and plutocratic
combinations. He urged, however, that
the development of this co-operative
movement must be on ethical and Christ
ian lines, that It cannot be brought about
as a mere economic program. The lectur
er held that the church has a very import
ant duty to perform In theso matters, and
needs to prench a very vital and a very
practical social righteousness. The indi
vidual employer of today, under the stress
of competition or dictated by private com
binations, can scarcely pay llv'ng wages,
even If he desires to. This, It was thought,
almost compelled him to sell sham goods
or resort to the tricks of trade In order
to hold his place In the market and meet
his obligations. The Christian clergyman
It was urged, who simply preaches on in
dividual gospel and tells tho employer to
be good Is preaching an Impracticable
gospel with tho result that many business
men are outside the church because they
conclude they cannot succeed in business
and be Christians at the same time. The
whob trouble wns attributed to the nar
row, individualistic gospel.
When the lecturer reached the munici
pality, he declared that the city excels
In dirt, debt and death rate. It was
thought that this was not so much the
fault of corporate rule as of the conditions
which make this possible. The speaker
wanted munlclpullsm. He thought we
must either have government ownership
of railroads or railroad ownership of gov
ernment. It was held that economic free
dom Is more Important than political free
dom. The speaker wanted to socialize or
fraternallzo all Industry through a Christ
ian spirit of co-operation. He thought
that tho remedy for the present evils.
Tho lecturer, after concluding his ad
dress, devoted somo time to answering
questions. Tho uddress was listened to
attentively, the speaker being frequently
Interrupted by applause.

A WONDERFUI, ADVANCR
IN MANDOLIN MAKING.
The new 18S7 Washburn mandolin Js
creating a perfect furor among artists
and amateurs. It '.e so far ahead of any
mandolin ever heretofore constructed
that !t never fnils to awaken the most
enthusiastic encom'ums and expressions
of surprise mingle with the praise, for
the new Washburn mandolin fa'rly over
steps the line of expectation, and with
Its r'ch mellow tone marks out a field
of 1s own. How the makers of the
Washburn achieved this triumph Is an In
teresting story. Tt seems that a year ago
they began a series of experiments, hav
ing In view the production of a mandolin
tone finor than anything the world had
yet heard. First, all the experts In their
employ were called upon for ideas and
designs. Then having gotten a special
studio filled with plans and models, Invi
tations were sent out to prominent man
dolin players, teachers and connoisseurs
to assist In the work. Expense waj not
spared. Some of the most valuable Ideas
came from the great mandolin soloists
such men as Tomaso, Shaeffer, Wells,
Best, Sutorlous, Haxen, Bouton, Turney,
Page, etc., and It 1s (hardly too much to
say that nearly all the available mando
lin talent of the country contributed
something to the now 1J97 Washburn
Model Mandolin. So today It stands upon
a pinnacle raising a new standard of
mandolin excellence. For the time it
has been before the public Us sales are
phenomenal. A beautiful new catalogue
(fully Illustrated) telling more about this
mandolin, and also giving full particulars
of the 1897 models of Washburn guitars,
banjos and zithers may be had by ad
dressing Lyon and Ilcaly, Chicago Chi
