tition works well, and see that for these
conditions its actions are unlmpeded.
He must, on the other hand, determine
under what conditions competition
works badly, and either regulate its
action by law or exclude 1t altogether
There are industries which, from
their very nature, are superior to com
petition, and for such the public has
no guarantee of fair treatment. 1t is
absurd TO argue that commercial law
insures justice In the dealings of rail
way, electric light, street railway and
other such companies. 1t lies in the
structure Of such business to be con
Quoted as monopolies and in disregard
to the comparative rights of man. The
existence OF monopolies proves the
existence of an anti social interest. 1t
shows that the interest of individuals
is not identical with that of the pub
lie.
"Did the rise of trade unions bear
any peculiar significance p asked the
Professor, cor was IL to be regarded
merely as an cutlery from those upon
whose shoulders the burden of indus
trial development rested most heavily"
To this question he gave direct answer.
In bis opinion, combination among
workmen was necessary step in the
disqualification of rights and duties.
From the sixteenth century to the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century the
tendency had been toward disintegra-
ton in all matters Of property and in
dustries. In early society, when men
worked wholly for local markets, when
the relation of employer and employe
was a personal relation, competition
was kept in restraint by custom and
by law. But with downfall of feudal-
ism, with the discovery of the New
World, with the new spirit of personal
independence infused into life by the
great religious reformation and by po-
litical struggles, all this was changed
Localism gave way to nationality, com
petition took the place of custom and
wealth came to be used as capital.
1t was at this point in the develop
ment of English society that the era of
inventions made its appearance, and
the result was what might have easily
been expected. The power and the
energy previously shown in religious
and political controversies now made
itself manifest in trade. Great inven-
tions sprang into existence and it nat
urally followed that the new social
power, generated by the use of ma
chinery, fell into the hands of those
who were so fortunate as to become
proprietors of the mechanism of produc-
ton.
At the conclusion of the lecture Pro
fessor Adams was congratulated by
many of those present.

FOR LOVERS To READ.
WHAT IS A MODEL WIFE?

A model wife is the woman in whom the
heart of her husband doth safely trust.
She is the woman who looks after his
household, and makes her hospitality de-
light to him, and not burden.
Who has learned that soft answer will
turn away wrath.
Who keeps her sweetest smiles and most
loving words for her husband.
Who is his confidant in sorrow or in JOY,
and who does not feel the necessity OF ex-
planning her private affairs TO the neigh
borhood.
Who respects the rights of husband and
children, and in return has due regard paid
to her.
Who knows that the strongest argument
is her womanliness, and so she cult
Yates It.
Who is sympathetic in JOY or in grief, and
who finds work for her hands to do,
Who makes friends aud keeps them.
Who is not made bitter by trouble, but
who strengthens and sweetens under it.
Who tries to conceal the faults of her
husband rather than blazon them forth to
an uninterested public.
The woman whose lire-book has love
written on every page.
Who makes home for a mana home
in house and in heart. A home that he
is sure of; home that Is full of love, pre-
sided over by one whose price is above
rubies.
She is the model wife.

"Under the old system these men
were the proprietors of the material
upon which they worked, of the tools
with which they worked and of the
houses In which the work was carried
on. But under the factory system they
are proprietors of nothing. This then
was what was meant in saying that the
development of machinery had given
rise to a distinct laboring class. 1t
means that the industrial community of
this century, for the first time. is
divided into possessors and non.posses-
sors, whose interests seem to be identi-
cal so far as production is concerned,
but whose interests are opposed to each
other when questions for distribution
comes up for settlement.
Holding In mind the comparison
thus brought to our notice, we are in
position to state in sentence what the
industrial revolution means for the la
boring class. 1t means that the worker
has lost control over the conditions of
labor, and the labor agitation of our
own times, so fearful in its tendencies,
so demoralizing in the bitterness of ha-
tired engendered, is but the effort of
workmen to gain again control over the

izcd in 1873.
Incorporated under the laws of Missouri.
1t is n secret order, that thereby IL may
better promote fraternity among acceptable
white men and keep unworthy men from Its
benefits.
1t is n fraternal order. In that its members
are bound together by the strong ties of fra
terhal love, and by VOWS taken at the same
altar. Its bcneficent effects extend TO men,
bers in every State and Territory In the
Union, bound together by common purpose.
It extends q helping hand to The living, and
to relieve the distress Of the widows and or
phans Of deceased brethren.
1t Is a benevolent order, In that lis members
seek no gains to themselves while living, and
are permitted TO designate only the members
Of their families as benefciaries when they
die.
The widows and orphans benefit fund Is ex-
empt from the debts OF the deceased, and can
be used only to pay death benefits.
The benefits mny be $1,000, $1,000, 500.
Tho assessments Tor $1,000 protection have
been for the last four years S2i per year,
proportional amounts for $1,000 or S5oO,
payable In monthly inStallmcntS Of 81 each
to members between the ages OF Is ana 40.
One extra assessment has been called in THAT
time.
Old line companies actually pay thirteen
dollars and thirty-siX cents per thousand for
cost of insurance Is more Than the members
OF the knights OF Honor have paid mp to this
time for death benefits. The members keep
their reserve fund In their own pockets.
Not Il single fraternnl society organized af-
ter our plan, and managed according TO our
system, has ever gone out OF existence.
The Knights OF Honor has lf2, 900 mem bers.
1t has blessed fifteen $4,000 thousand homes,
and paid out of the widows and orphans fund

members, the widows and orphans Of whom

It was decided at q recent meeting of the
Lodge to remit the initiation lee for the next
thirty days, or until June l, 1890, and conse.
quently the expense to become u member has
been greatly reduced; really the only expense
is the medical examination and fifty cents for
the benefit certificate. One assessment OF two
dollars must be paid into the widows and or.
