L'INTERNATIONALE.

Individ and Associated Enort-Self.Interest
the Truest Social and Political Motor.
Mr. Charles Moran lectured last evening to the
class of Political Economy Of the Evening High
School. In Thirteenth street, on the "Interna-
tionals." - .
He dweIt principally upon the theory Of govern
ment OF the International Society. They accepted
the Communist idea that we must look to ourselves
for government But the best OF political philoso-
pliers say that It Is only through Individual enter
prise and effort that the science Of government Is
carried out. In reality the progress Of science is
due almost entirely to
INDIVIDUAL EFFORT.
Those men who have been hampered by govern
ments have ACCOMPLISHED little or nothing In dis
covery OF invention. The Internationals commit.
therefore, the great mistake that instead of decry
ing some OF the evils, they call upon them to CON-
Del men to do not what they think themselves is
right, but what Is the VIII OF an association They
