UPHOLDS SOCIALISM
Rev. w. H. Wise Says Its Adop-
ton Assures Solution of
Present Difficulties.
GIVES LECTURE AT TURNER HALL
Comes Here as Substitute of
Prof. George D. Herron--
To Put up Ticket.

Prof. George D. Heron, who was
advertised to lecture on socialism at
Turner hall last evening, did not ap-
pear owing to illness which de-
tanned him in Chicago. In his place
there came Rev. w. H. Wise, who
was q student at Grinnell college with
Prof. Heron, and who is one of d
half dozen men who are devcting their
time to socialist crusade. as they
term it, with headquarters in Chi
cago.
Rev. Wise outlined briefly the general
principles .of socialism with which the
majority of people are more or less
familiar, illustrating his remarks with
variety of comparisons and incidents
that lent an appearance of extreme
plausibiliiy TO mis- theories. He at
tackled the present competitive social
system. root and branch, tracing to it
as the source the ma jority of the ills
| that affect mankind.
Says Efforts Are AIIsdirected.
The efforts, that are made to save
lost men and women through the
work of missions and charitable in
Il
misdirected, as they aim at remedy
| ing an effect of vicious social sys-
tenn when the same amount of energy
directed at the cause of the evil would
entirely remove it and make this
world Utopia
Rev. Wise declared that the sources
by which men live mus be thrown
open to them. They must be given
access to that which they produce
and which is theirs by right as we'll
as to the sources of government.
Glass barriers and distinctions must
be abolished and each individual
taught that he must work or starve.
Examples of what is being done in
parts of L pndon and in Belgium were
/ pointed out to show that socialism is
practical and its results are beneficial.
By only limited application of its
principles here, according to Rev.
Wise. the hours of labor have been
Igreatly shortened, the wage has been
maintained. and the price of COM
modities handled has been cheapened.
Three Cardinal Principles.
Three cardinal principles upon
which, in the speakers Judgment, o
solution of present difficulties de-
ponds. and which must be understood
by all men before a change for the
better is possible, were laid down:
First, that men are not victims, but
masters. Second, every man is his
Town master and has right to his
Town life. Third, upon the solidarity
or union of the workers of the world
depends their power. Frank Singel-
mann introduced the speaker and it
was announced that Prof Mills. au-
other of the social crusaders, will be
here in the near future.
To Have Municipal Ticket.
The local section of socialists has a
full ticket, which will be put in the
field this spring. at present com
mittee is engaged in filling vacancies
in the ticket where candidates refuse
to run, and the names of those nomi-
mated will not be given out till there
is,a candidate for every office.

II NILE.

Egypt VIII Soon Be Made a Garden
Spot.
Sir John Arid, the contractor for the
great barrage works on the Nile, has
returned to England after seeing the
most difficult part of the work success
fully completed.
"a fortnight ago. said Sir John, 81
wired home that you could walk across
the Nile. You can now cross it in a
railway train. We have got the loco
motive running. We contracted to do
the work in five years. Three have
elapsed, and 1 think we shall finish in
two years more. That will be a good
record, for we have had to go deeper
for u foundations than was an
ticipated. We had to go down some 60
or 70 feet before we found a solid
foundation. We expect the works to
be in full swing for the Nile floods of
1903. The importance Of the work
cannot be overestimated. Egypt lives
OF the Nile-alwayS has done, always
will. From time immemorial the
try has been at the mercy of the floods
and the low waters. That will be
counteracted by the present scheme,
which stems the water back for $50
miles and holds it in reserve to be let
out through the sluices Is it is needed.
The 1and is fertile-fertile as no other
land is-for a distance Of three-quar-
tiers Of a mile from the banks. This
barrage scheme should extend the area
of fertility to a mile and a quarter.
More land in cultivation means more
produce, more labor, more taxes.
"EgVDt will gain all rOund. And
such a country it is! Three and four
crops a year aud the produce Of the
most beautiful green that a be mag
ined. Instead of destructive floods and
droughts and irregular navigation
there will be a constant and steadily
regulated supply Of water, and most
of the difficulties of navigation will
disappear."-London Express.

the manufacture of hats was done
