SAYS AMERICANS ARE
LIKE FLOCK OF SHEEP
PROF. ZUEBLIN ADDRESSES BIG
AUDIENCE
University of Chicago Man Tells His
Hearers of Lack of ThouehtfuIness
Among the Working Cass-Says
Voters Follow Empty Slogans

Prof Charles Zueblin Of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, III lecture delivered
in the hall at 3271a South Spring street
last night, likened the voters of Amer
lea to a flock of sheep, who do not con-
slider real issues but take up a wild
rush after some campaign slogan which
happens to please their ears.
The hall was filled to overhowing
and large number were turned away
because they could not even find stand
ing room. The meeting was the regular
Socialist Sunday evening gathering
and was attended by both men and
women and by all classes, from the
laborer to the man who has tidy sum
to his credit in the bank.
Mr. Zuebln took for his topic The
Blight of Orthodoxy" and treated, his
subject in "A way that brought forth
continued applause from his audience.
He divided orthodoxy into three
classes-namely, religious, political and
economical,
Tied to Forefathers' Belief
"Orthodoxy,' said Mr. Zuebln. "em-
phasizes the non essentials. and re-
ligious orthodoxy does so more than
any other. We are too likely to judge
a man by his dress and vet i'm a way

leisure but does not show what the

'Jn politics we stick to the beliefs of

People Do Not Think
1.-THE keystone of their work was not
to let the people direct the government
themselves, and these bodies We're
created to act as checks and balances.
They minimized government because
up to this time the power of governing
in the old country had been in the
hands of few and they did not believe
that the masses We're capable of gov
erning themselves.
But today the countries and cities
that are enlarging their governments
to include more of the people are the
countries and cities that are growing
end are becoming more efficient. The
mischief is that the people don't think
They take to the superficial. All that
the political leaders have to do today
is TO present decorated phrase and
the people will follow like a bunch oi
sheep.
I'VE cannot deny that we are pros
porous today, but 1t is due to the fact
that there have been foreign wars. The
slogan of the Republicans in the last
eampaign, THE Full Dinner Pail, was
used to cover political lie.

Washington, Feb. IL The ex-
pressed opinion of Republican leaders
Ct the house indicates that the result
of the caucus to be held on the state
hood question will be strict adher-
ence. to the caucus action of the party
April Is last on the same question.
This action took the form OF a resolu-
tion that two states should be made
Of the four territories. With this res
olution repeated the disposition Of the
statehood bill will be simple matter.
1t has, under the rules of the house,
been referred to the committee on ter
ritories. There is nothing to indicate
that this committee will bring the bill
into the house at the present session
OF congress. This course will obyiate
the risk OF subjecting the measure to
motion to concur in the senate amend
ments to the bill with the consequent
opportunity for the success of the mo-
ton through union of the Demo
cratic vote and sufficient Republican
members to make majority. The ad-
yocates of the bill in its present form
claim to have forty-five Republican
members OF the house who will vote
with the Democrats to concur. This
is three times the number required.
It is to obviate the success of this
plan that the bill will be allowed to
remain in-committee until the expira-
tion of the Fifty-eighth congress,
March 4, next.
