A QUESTION.

they have left no example Of prac-
tice for our guidance.
Nineteen hundred years ago
there came into this world a man
with social theory. This man
taught and practiced a theory OF
social life so broad, so liberal in
it's scope, that comparison between
it and socialistic theories of this
day, will leave vast balance in
favor of the Mans theory. Put
ting His theory into practice the
''Man" lived an ideal moral life,
and for the benefit of His cause
laid down His life, leaving his fol-
lowers the rich heritage Of His
example as we'll as wealth of
theories. Nineteen hundred years
have passed since the ''Man'' gave
His life for the benefit of the
world, since that time millions of
our greatest men have fought the
MANS fight; yet, today, if
Christianity, corporally, is not a
failure, it is far from being a sue
cess. Where Christianity has not
succeeded materially, how can
socialism hope to prevail?
Socialists must not attribute the
non-success of the principles Of
Christ to the men that have led,
for if bad men have promulgated
the doctrines of the Christ, SO too,
are offsprings Of socialism preach
ing doctrines at variance with
those laid down in socialistic phi
losophy. If the philosophy of
Christ must bear. the burden of all
the wretched things done in it's
name, so too must socialistic doc
trine carry the burden Of the more
or less vague disruptive schemes
of the anarchists and nihilists.
Again I ask, where Christianity
has not succeeded how can social
ism hope to prevail. F. R. r.

I am not SO certain that l have
not bought brick, but [ will let
you wiseacres decide this point
while I tell it to you just as it was
given me by my Amigo Don
Quixote of Puerto Rico.
We we're speaking of our varied
experiences, the Don and I, and
[ was telling him of some advent
ures up the Amazon in which I
had a part and among other things
explained, to his amazement, the
workings Of the X-rays and wireless
telegraphy of which he had not
heard. This latter subject seemed
to be very interesting to the Don
and when [ had finished, he lit a
cigarette and detailed to me the
following yarn (?), to vouch for
the truth of which, he called upon
all the saints of the Greater An
titles:
Thunder storms of great VOL
ence are of frequent occurrence in
the island of Puerto Rico. At
times the atmosphere is SO charged

Paper Read Before the Chdutduqua Circle.

Paper Read Before the Chautauqua Circle.
We have had many papers read
before our Circle, on the subject
of Socialism. All Of them have
dwelt upon the principles Of So
cialism, rather than with the ulti-
mate chance of the adoption by
the world, of socialistic doctrine.
In our day we do not ask. is the
thing good? but, will the people
have it, at any price. And today
I ask of socialists, will the world
have your doctrine at any price?
The earliest and most concrete
forms Of socialistic philosophy are
those promulgated by Robert
Owen, Saint Simon and Fourier.
All socialistic philosophy dates
from these men; and all leaders
that have come after, have but
walked in the path set forth by
them, diverging into such by
paths as time and place demands.
While it is true that the social
istic theorists Of this day take a
more liberal view of the subject,
the fundamental basis remains the
same. Briefly stated the theory
of socialism is, the abolition Of
that individual action upon which
modern society depends and the
substitution of a regulated system
of cooperative action.
We judge good and bad, right
and wrong, success or failure, by
comparison; and in seeking to
forecast either success or failure for
socialism, we must first find some
thing equally as good, that has
either succeeded or failed.
Socialism dates back one hun
dred and twenty-nine years, and in
this time has not brought forth
any great or good men, and if
there ever has been any great men
connected with the movement,

with electricity that cigarette
may be lighted by simply expos
ing it to the air. During these
periods of electrical disturbance,
the Puerto Ricans engage in a
sport, that while fought with
some danger, furnishes plenty of
excitement and, next to cock-fght,
is considered as one of the nation
al sports. The young people don
pair of gauntlets of either silk
or rubber, both being non conduc-
tors, secure a light round piece of
iron about five feet in length and
thus equipped they betake them
selves to the open to do battle
with Jove.
"At the instantof flash of light
ming, the iron rods are held at
arms length and moved about
through the atmosphere, and, as
seldom fails to occur, the bolt of
electric fluid flies to one or the
other of the iron rods but failing
to escape by reason of the rubber
gauntlet, it hangs spluttering to
the end of the rod until tossed to a
rod held by another member of
the party to be passed around and
beaten as so much molasses taffy
among the young people. Finally
after the force of the bolt is much
spent it is allowed to pass harm
lessly into the ground and fresh
charge of electricity is enticed from
the clouds.
Accidents sometimes happen but
not frequently These are usually
the result of some imperfection in
the gauntlet that allows the cleo
tricity to reach the hand of the
operator, causing death instantan-
iously." IcoNoCLAsT.

No. 1852: 'Excalibur' was
the name Of the famous mystic
sword of King Arthur. There
seems to have been two swords So
called. One was the sword
sheathed in stone, which no one
could draw thence, save he who
was to be king of the land. Above
two hundred knights tried to re-
lease it but failed. Arthur alone
could draw it with ease, and thus
proved his right to succession.
This sword is called "Excalibur''
and it is said to have been so
bright that it gave light like thirty
torches.

Of five arbitrators, of whom the
Queen, the President Of the Unit
