THIRD UNIVERSITY TALK
PROF. IRA w. HowERd'H, OF CHI
CAGO, AT PROPYLAEUM.
His Subject Was "Elements of the
Social Idcal'-A Large Au-
dience I'm Attendance.

The third of a series of twelve lectures
OF sociological subjects was given at the
Propyaeum last evening. The series is
projected by the University of Chicago,
which has been conducting extensive
campaign of the sort for several years.
The audience last evening was of size
to indicate that there are many persons
in this city that welcome scholarly discus
sion Of sociological conditions. The lee
turer was Ira w Howerth, of the Univer-
sity of Chicago. He gave the first lecture
OF the series, and at that time formulated
the social question according to his COM
prehension of it-that ii lies in equalizing
the production and distribution of economic
goods. He continued along this theme last
evening, when his subject was Elements
of the Social Ideal"
1t would be futile, he said, for him to
attempt to picture the ideal social orgari-
cation without drawing on his imagination,
and science had nothing to do with imag-
nation. The ideal was ever receding and
was as changeful as a cloud. In the past
writer's had attempted descriptions of ideal
society, and, though the results were un-
convincing, they had a contributOry value.
Mr.. Howerth made the point that indi-
vidual intelligence and social intelligence
are by no means identical. The members
of a community were separately intelligent,
but jointly they were unable TO administer
their general affairs with more than child
ish skill AS illustration he would not
use the Indianapolis municipal govern
ment. but would direct attention to the
condition of his own city, Chicago. One
man might be intelligent and have not the
power TO transmute his knowledge into
wisdom; man that walking en-
cyclOpedia might also be a fool.
Mr.. Howerth said he believed implicitly
in the democratic form of government and
social organization. He did not believe in
the theory of benevolent despOtism." New
ertheless, he thought that the present-day
captains of industry were advancing the
social good. and he had no doubt that if
all the railroads of the country were con-
trOlled by one capable man they would
serve the public more economically than
they did under separate management This
industrial despotism, however, he did not
regard as the ultimate state
In closing Mr.. Howerth said that if men
and women could satisfy themselves that
the ideal society could be Obtained-no
matter how long it might take To attain it
it was their duty to study and labor with
the matter, recOmpensed by the task being
the grandest opportunity that is offered
by human life

sTEFANEK OUT OF JAIL.
Judge Carter Undecided What to Do
with the Mans Wife.

Franz Stefanek, who was sent to Jail by
Judge Carter several days ago for failure
TO comply with the courts order and pro-
duce certain jewels that had been given to
secure a debt. was released from Jail yes
terday afternoon Judge Carter called the
attorneys representing both sides before
him in the morning and told them that if
Stefanek would sign affidavit stating
that he did not know where the jewels are,
that he was i'm way involved in their
hiding. that he had no control over the
person having possession of them and that
IL he had them he would turn them over,
he would be released from prison. Stefanek
made such an affidavit in the afternoon
and was given his liberty. Nothing has
been done with Mrs. Stefanek. and II seems
that her stubbOTnnesS has been victorious
over the attempt of the court and three
firms OF lawyers TO compel her to produce
the Jewels. She sent her daughter Ada
Thursday TO tell Judge Carter that she had
sold part OF the jewels and could not pro-
duce them. The judge sent word that he
would like TO see her. Yesterday Ada re-
turned and said her mother found she was
mistaken, that the jewels had not been
sold and that her mother was sick in bed
and couldn't come"
