Humboldt, Aug. Yesterday after
noon at the I. o. G.. T. assembly Rev. j.
Stitt Wilson, OF Evanston. H., gave his
lecture on The Social Problem A
thousand people heard him. He is a
radical Of radicals. He sees great
wrong in the concentration Of capital
in the hands of the few. But with the
universal tendency of all first class re-
formers his forecast of the twentieth
century is roseate and full of hope. He
said this nation is nation of big BIS.
The eighteenth century E was Battle,
the nineteenth is Business and the
twentieth will be t.Brotherhood." Mr.
Wilson is free from that hostile and
offensive style which in Heron leaves
a large part Of the crowd ready to fight.
