MIND DIES WITH MAN.
DR.. Bryce, of Alabama, Creates Sen
sation With His Metaphysical Views.

DR.. Peter Bryce, Superintendent of
the Alabama State Insane Asylum, and
an expert on insanity of national repu-
tatlon, last week read a paper before
on "The Mind and Its Developments. -
He held that man came from primor-
dial germs, and that he was develop
ment of the lower order of beings. He
held that mind was but a development
of the instinct of animals, and that it
differed from the animal reason only III
degree, and not in kind. Mind, he held,
was the result of organic forces, and
when these forces stopped mind was
gone. 1t has no entity of its own.
When man dies his mind dies with
him, 1t is not the sum of all the facul-
ties, and hence not immortal.
DIR. Bryces paper created great SEN
sation in the meeting, and when he sat
down half dozen ministers were on
their feet in an instant. After heated
discussion Of the subject the association
adopted resolution reaffirming belief
in the Biblical account of creation, and
declaring that the association did not
indorse all the papers read before it.
The Alabama Educational Association
seems to have decided to place limit
to education. Facts don't seem to count
with the bigots who, while pretending
to desire to educate, really propose a
system of qualification and limitation
of knowledge. DR., Bryce's views were
denounced as iconoclastic, and in view
Of their scientific accuracy they were
most effectually damaging to the super
stitiOus faith of the would-be educators.

PUBLICATION NOTICES

A Shorter U,ork-Day - Single leafet,
21.00 per thousand. New York Labor
News Company, 25 East Fourth street,
New York. Good for free distribution.
Public discussions develop some queer
opinions among people who want to
join in the debate. The following
passages from a book called "The
Bible and Land" published by the au-
thor, James B. Converse. at Morristown,
Tenn, will indicate the value of the
publication:
"Is speculation in land morally wrong
Is it Inconsistent with the purposes for
which land was made to hold land out of
use in order to obtain larger price for
it: This is a difficult question. =
Two things are sure: That speculation
generally is beneficial when not carried
too far, and that when carried beyond a
certain point it does great harm"
The writer insists that "God is the
original and ultimate proprietor of
land: that he gives land to men" etc,
etc, The book is not, in our opinion,
worth the reading by intelligent people.

ing, the regular meeting of the EXeCu-
tive Of the American Section was held.
The chair was filled by Comrade Nor,
gan,
1t was decided to request the Ma
tlonal Executive to forward Commun-
ication to the Paris Congress certifying
that certain individual who had been
chosen by a labor organization of this
city as their representative, was not a fit
and proper person to be allowed to par
tiCipate in the deliberations of that
body, and setting forth the reasons for
such statement.
\ committee who had been delegated
to interview the Chief of Police relative
to certain private matters in regard to
which such action had been Judged ad-
visabie, reported that the reception ac-
corded to them by that functionary had
been neither kind nor courteous. The
Chief intimated very strongly his aver
sion to socialists, and his ardent wish
that they might be eXterminated. His
only trouble was that he did not know
exactly how to proceed in the work of
determination. He felt quite equal to
the task of dealing with anarchists, but
the socialists rather seemed to battle
him. Apparently he would not be
sorry if the anarchistC efforts at dis
rupting our organization should be sue
cessful, as he could dispose of them cas-
lily enough afterwards. He stated that
all our meetings had been attended by
detectives in citizens attire, and the
failure to find anything in our proceed
ings which could be made to justify
police interference, has rendered him
particularly bitter.
After some discussion further action
upon the above report was for the pres
ent postponed.
The committee on propaganda, htera-
ture, ETC., presented draft Of two leaf
lets, one for distribution at our meetings,
and the other for local circulation. A
few amendments were suggested, and
the committee was instructed to make
necessary arrangements in regard to
printing, distribution, etc.
Comrade Heeg presented communica-
tions from the Executive calling for
amounts to be raised by special ASSESS
ment, due from the Section to the fund
for Paris delegates, The matter was
laid over till the next meeting.
The Secretary then presented the
charter which had been received from
the Executive, and shortly after the
meeting adjourned.

PROVIDENCE, R. |.

Mr.. David O. Black, proprietor of the
Evening Telegram, has had Mr.. A. Ran
dali, president of Typographical Union
No, SO, and eight or ten other members
of the Union arrested on charge of
libel and conspiracy. These men, bright,
active, industrious workingmen, are
under bonds, some as high as five thou
sand dollars. This experience should
be an object-lesson to the printers, of
the power which those who own the
means of production have to oppress
those who are dependent upon them
for support

getting head and ears, body, feet and
all, into the trough and monopohzing
anything and everything within his
reach.
There is nothing in the philosophy of
Socialism to prevent the Deist, the Pan
theist, the Atheist, the Agnostic, +he
Buddhist, Jew or Christian from being
a Socialist.
II is not, therefore, surprising that
Comrade Nrooman is a Christian and at
the same time a Socialist. 1t would be
far more surprising If, with the keen
intellect, the lofty ideals, tie moral
courage, and the knowledge of the
labor problem, and the true solution of
that problem that Harry C. Nrooman
possesses, he should abandon the So
cialists, as stated in the Erenitg Tele-
gram. FRANKLIN BURTON.

RAILWAY TRUSTS AND FEDE.
RATlONS.

At last Sundays public meeting of the
Chicago American Section Adelbert
Hamilton delivered an interesting ad-
dress on "Railway Trusts and Fedora
tions," which was SO much enjoyed by
the audience that our Chicago CORE
spondent thought the readers of the
WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE would be glad
of synopsis, and submitted it for pub
lication. Mr.. Hamilton said;
Mr. Chairman, Lddies and Gentlemen:
Monopolies have always been odious
Lord Bacon denounced them as ''can-
kers of all trading" never to be per-
mitted to exist under "specious cOlors
of the public good" Queen Elizabeth
is quantity said to have "laid the axe of
her princely justice to the root of the
tree of monopoly" suspending and re-
pealing those in existence, and declar-
ing that none other should be put in
execution ,'"but such as should first have
trial, according to law, for the good
of the people" Even James !, who in
herited goodiy share of that obtuse-
ness which distinguished the Stuarts in
dealing with questions involving popu-
lar rights, declared that monopolies
were things against the laws of the
| realm" and Parliament enacted that
with certain exceptions they should be
''utterly void and Of none effect" Ac-
cording to Lord Coke, monopolies are
"mischievous to the public o. because
| nf thD ruISipo nf tIa nrIra. ftD hppal
| the commodity will not be 50 good, and
| (3)because of the impoverishment of poor
artificers." In the United States monop-
olies have been judcially declared
criminal conspiracies,' and the per
sons who formed them have been called
| by the judges "Confederates, whose
| baleful influence cast a withering blight
by which dependent hands are par
| alyzed and hungry mouths are stlnted "
| Nevertheless, we in the United States
are confronted and surrounded by mo-
nopoies. And it is my purpose to out
line the most gigantic, the most oppres-
sive, and the most dangerous of them
all, the organized and combined railway
| companies of the United States.
The prime reason Tor railway monop-
oily is that combination of roads and
concentration Of traffic makes better
and cheaper service possible. By alb
sorbing 1900 railway companies into
the 80 concerns now controlling six
sevenths of our railways, the services Of
not less than $1,000 salary-drawing Off
cials was rendered unnecessary. BY a
single consolidation of nearly 10000
miles of road under a railway trust, "
$500 men were at one stroke dropped
from the pay rolls. And since 1t is more
economical to combine and to concen-
trate railroads and railway business,
progress lies not in turning backward TO
railway competition among disjointed
