The Socialist Meeting.

There was not very large number of
persons out to hear William a. Wise at
the Armory nall last night, but all who
went heard one Of the best socialist
speeches that has been delivered in this
city in a long time. Mr.. Wise is one of
the few ministers OF the gospel who have
left their calling to discourse the ques
ton OF socialism and he ID good
speaker.
The lecture last night consisted of the
discussion of three points First, the
speaker said there were three things
tnat were leading to a crisis. He said
there was an economic crisis pending,
and gave as his reason for SO thinking,
that the consolidation of the many in
dustries into gigantic trusts, could lead
to nothing else. He spoke of social
crisis, which he declared was imminent,
and said that the steady growth of crime
in all parts OF the world, would amount
to such proportions, that it would not
be very long until there would be a
great social revolution.
When the matter OF a political crisis
was reached, Mr.. Wise said that the
signs OF revolution in politics WAS
bound to come from the decided spirit
OF unrest which pervaJed all parties
The voters he declared, were dissatisfied
with the old parties and the natural re-
suit OF such dissatisfaction was bound
to be the formation OF an entirely new
party, which would give the voters what
they were looking for, and which the old
parties are not doing.
or course Mr.. Wise had it all figured
out that the socialist labor party would
do all that the people wanted it to do,
that in that party alone, could the vo
ters tind remedy for the various re-
form movements which are on in the
political field He points out that the
socialists platform represented scheme
for the correction of all the threatened
disasters, and to those present with po-
litical tendencies toward socialism, the
remedy seemed to be just the thing
needed.

days here at the soldiers reunion, is pro-
nouncedly in favor OF the Bucklin
amendment and offers some very good
arguments in favor OF his contentious
His strongest one is the right OF the peo-
pie TO voice in the matter of taxation
He further declares that the chief argu-
ment Of the opposition is based on the
belief that vote for the amendment
necessarily means total exemption of
personal property, whereas the real facts
are that the people will likely not ex-

have taken him for gentleman under
any circumstances. In manner, style
and speech, he left nothing to be de-
sired

Up till now have always pictured the

who was utterly devoid of feelings of

Dinner proceeded quietly enough,
Chris having eyes for hardly anything
else beyond the couple in the window
| She rose presently, with little gasp,
and hastily lifted tankard of iced
water from the table. The girl OPP

The man Rawlins spoke with the ten
derest solicitude. The look of positive
| relief on his face as his daughter
smiled at him told of deep devotion
| and affection for the girl. Chris, look
ing on, was wondering. vaguely wheth-
err or not she had made mistake.

said. Pray keep this. Oh. yes. that
