The Energetic Pastor OF the PeO-
pies Church Talks Right Out
in Meeting-PrOmise of a Fur
Their Scoring in Future en-
perance and Economics at a
Mass Meeting.
Market hall was filled to the doors
Yesterday in response to the advertise
meht contained nu hundreds at hand
bills headed ''Why these Hard Times?"
EX-tiuy. McGiii and Falk Gjerlsrn. of
Minneapolis, failed TO attend. but DIR. s.
q. Smith. OF the Peoples church. was
there like thousand Of brick, to use an
expressive phrase. Other speakers
were Prof. Lund. of minneapolis. and
Hubert Wallraff. of st. Paul. a band
enlivened the proceedings.
The meeting. which is the first Of a
series arranged for by the Scandinavian
Good TemplarS, was presided over by
A. A. Anderson, OF biinneap Ills. who
stated it was not the object To have the
meeting exclusively of temperance
character, but 10 give opportunity also
for touching on economic subjects.
At the outset of his address, DR..
Smith said the time had come in the ev-
Olutioh of the reorganization of society
when selfish Schemers and time servers
shall be sent to the rear. and the honest
people, the real workers. snail be
brought to the front. The example of il
loaf of bread was used to good effect to
show how neariy.tyery stratum of S1ciety
the whole nacnIrery of the commercial
world. is concerned in its production.
How 10 divide the loaf righte0uslv he
held to be the great question. White
capital is accumulated. labor must have.
its fair share. If the producer does not
receive enough for his ueeiS, that fact
Is reason enough for social revolution.
Speaking OF how TO increase tile loaf
and have more for both capital
and labor, he said each should hr will
ING to share the good ana bad years,
whereas now capital takes all oil tie
benefit of the good years. and WHEN
hard times comes is willing 10 open its
books to show it is not making any
thing, keeping those same book, tightly
closed from public view in flush wears.
The labortr is willing tn share the bur-
deus OF the bad year if The capitalist
Will share tie profits Of the gOud year.
American freedom and Americas coIa-
mon Schools" said Dr. SmIlh. "have
had such good effect that America leads
the world i'll pro iuct aud in wealth.
May the day b. delayed when any hos

schools. LII this era of ENLARGED pl0-
ductiOn both elements should establish
better relations. The time is cunning
when men wont be such fools aS to all

barons are nothing else hut tuleves lit
for the penitent'aty. They put up Ine
price here and turce down WAGES ut the
mines. Natiqnal and state governments
ought 10 cUInuIne to Stamp out Luls

A SHOT AT "REFORAIERS"
Entering Oil Sc"tiiiug arrdis nment
of the saloon evil, tie speaker said:
I'VE have heard something in St. Paul
about reform administrations. Gi.augiI-
ter. l am not going TO DISCUSS tur SUI

Prof. Lund, of Minneapolis, spoke
