1t is with full realization of the
dangers accompanying prophecy
and with a complete disclaimer of
anv special gift in that direction
that we take up this discussion.
There are certain general forces of
social evolution at work in Russia
which may be expected to produce
much the same result, that they
have previously produced elsewhere,
and so long as prophesy is confined
to examining the resultants of these
forces it is wholly justiiable.
A study of the different industrial
classes struggling for power and the
strength back of them shows that
these may be classified much as
follows: First the autocarcy with
the grand ducal clique answering
quite closely to the First Estate"
of century ago in France. This
class, essentially an anachronism
even in the 10Th, to say nothing of
the goth century, has behind it no
industrial strength and has retained
its position largely by virtue of in
ertia. 1t is now almost a neglig-
ible quantity. Infthe second place
we have the bourgeoisie, the logical
heir to the autocracy but which seems
incapable of realizing upon its in
heritance. 1t lacks coherency, in
itiative and most important of all a
hold upon the proletariat, sufficiently
strong to compel the latter to fight
its battles. Finally we have the work
ing class composed of the city pro
letariat and the peasant, a class dis
tinctly revolutionary, and which
seems to have awakened to a class
consciousness far keener than it;
industrial position would seem tC
justify. This proletariat has showr
a remarkable adaptability in choos
ing its weapons for the battle.

greatest utility. An examination
of our powers, renders foolish the
thought of the return to the barri-
cade. / use the term barricade to
mean all actively physical aggres-
sion on our part. There are prom
inent socialists in America who ad-
vocate the arming of the proletar-
lat and there is a large class of
socialists who act upon the theory
that the real work ahead is an armed
conflict. The peculiar weapon of
the socialis, movement is the idea.
Never, never did an arising class
confront a condition wherein en-
lightenment gave such irresistible
power. By conscious enlighten-
ment alone. the working class of
the world can free itself. Against
its awakening consciousness, guns
and dynamite are powerless. and
guns and dynamite have no place
in the work of the hour.
The reason for all this is because
the entire structure of capitalism
rests upon the ignorance and class
unconsciousness of the workers.
Capitalism does not exist apart from
the workers; the handful of men
constituting the real ruling class
under capitalism could not make
even a shadow of defense were the
workers of the world everywhere
aroused to class consciousness.
Capitalism is reduced to such straits
that it has to depend upon the rev.
olutionary class to man all its war
vessels and forts, to shoot its guns
and cannons, to WELD its police
clubs and constitute its militia.
How does it keep the allegience of
so large a proportion of the very
class it suppresses, imprisons or
shoots? BY the idea. by mental
control. How then will we render
battleship, cannon, rife, bayonet
ann club harmless curios in the
midst of great and stirring change
By the idea, the idea of class con-
scious unity of the working class;
the idea spread by eternally dogged
and persistent propaganda.
How can any socialist consist
emily talk violent revolution as a
method, or dwell upon it as a pos
sibility, when the declared inter
national policy of socialism is op-
position to all war. To dream OF
the barricade is to desert the only
irresistible weapon, the idea, edu-
cation, class-consciousness. and to
arm the proletariat is to give them
the excuse to cease thinking. When
they cease to think the revolution
becomes a hopeless issue. Arms and
dreams of violent conflicts are dis
turbing elements and reactionary
forces in this great upward and on
ward mental and moral growth OF
the proletariat. Let us learn to
place our entire dependence on the
omnipotence of intelligence to ac-
complish the revolution. When we
depend entirely upon this, our vic.
tory is assured.
After this first dependence let u:
turn to the real moral agent of the
revolution. This is our position
on all issues. On all issues w

Ever since the upheaval in France
a century and a quarter ago, re-
volutionists of a certain type have
been hypnotized by the dream of
barricades. The vision of an
aroused populace, of surging multi
tudes, of hot and reckless passions,
of swift and dramatic incidents, of
dominating personalities of sudden
fame, of sweeping changes, of quick
glory, intoxicates them. This type
of men form a current on the eve
of a second world crisis whose di-
rection is irresistibly once more to
the barrie AIDES. This dangerous
and reactionary sentiment among
men of the destructive type has no
real place in the present revolution.
The premature uprising in Russia
reveals the dominance of this type
there. So powerful was the current
toward the barricades, that in spite
of the advice of the saner German
Socialist Party which advised con-
structive policy testing alleged con-
cessions to be granted by the car
and taking advantage of such OPP
portunity to further spread their
propaganda and political organiza-
ton, in spite of this advice of their
more experienced comrades, the
barricades sucked them in to their
death. After the declaration of the
general strike as an offset to Whites
plans, the barracade revolutionists,
drunken with their deceptive doc
trine precipitated the holocaust of
Moscow.
Revolutionary Paris, once more
revived, lived, exulted and died in
one glorious fatal moment in the
bloody streets of Moscow. 1t was
an inspiring awful moment for the
unlocking proletariat round the
world. How we gazed with hungry
eager hope through the riffs of
smoke and steel and thunder for the
first CLEAN of hope; but we hoped
against hopel Barricade revolu-
ton, fought and shrieked and died
in a fit of incredible desperation
with its pitiful arms and the pitiful
want of training against the trained
savagery of the modern expert
killing craft.
The revolutionary life that is
stirring in Europe and America,
prophetic of the next great world
change is full-too full-of the ia
tai spirit of barricade revolution.
Revolutionary Paris surreu 10 i's
depths. reused to its heights, still
after century, dominates the radi-
cal wing of the industrial revolu'
ton. But the most unsafe thing to
do is to copy blindly after the past.
No one can predict the nature of the
change when 1t comes. Any pre-
mature violence on the part OF the
working class would be profoundly
fatal in any country today. 1t
would lead to an awful sacrifice of
life against the fearfully effective
weapons of modern warfare, and IT
would outlaw in the eyes of the
great masses of unconscious work
ers in the socialist movement.

support, and if war comes, we will
be the government, the law and the
country and he the criminal and
outlaw. Such an attitude united
with constructive policy and i'm
plicit dependence on the powers of
intelligence constitute the real revo-
luton.

he has been resting at his home in
Wheeling and is in the best Of health

Aston TO Take a New Wife.

London Gable to New York American.
There is a persistent report in the
nelghborhood Of Hever Castle that Will
liam Waldorf Astor is about to re-
marry. The villagers and workmen
around the old Tudor place are at any
rate perfectly convinced that they will
shortly witness the homecoming Of a
young bride.
For some time past Mr.. Astor has
been seen wandering over the wonder
full estate, which he has literally trans
formed, accompanied by handsome
girl belonging to an old Kentish fam.
ily, and many years his junior. He
has introduced the young lady to sew
eral of his personal friends.
Having seen the completion Of the
work of making the castle habitable,
and building "mediaeval" village at
its gates, Mr.. Astor has moved in and
taken up his quarters in the hoary
historic castle where lived the unhap-
by Anne Boleyn. and where she was
wooed by bluff King Hal" who after
ward had her head chopped off.
Wonders have been worked in and
around Hever Castle. One of Mr.. AS
tors most original ideas was to build
a Tudor village" in the private
grounds. Picturesque groups of half
timbered cottages, brand new, are
scattered about under the frowning
battlements of the castle. These
charming dwellings, however, are not
for the occupation of the Hever vii
layers. They are fitted up inside as
reception rooms, billiard rooms, SER
wants quarters, &C.
In keeping with the medieval as.
pect of the castle Mr.. Aston has bann'
ed the automobile. There are stables
and coach houses. but no garage, at
Hever Castle. Having given CIiveden
TO his son, Mr.. Astor will use Hever
Castle ms his chief country residence
At the castle Mr.. Astor will occupy

GUS and regal apartment, but for the
present the haunted room will not be

Both sides Satisfied.

Republicans declare the heaviest
falling off was in Democratic dis.
tricts. They argue from this that
Hearst will not poll the full Demo
cratic vote. Supporters of Hearst,
on the other hand profess to be more
than satisfied with the registration,
They say the increase of 10000 over
last years registration indicates that
the people are even more interested
that they were in the last municipal
campaign. This interest, they assert
is manifested because Hearst is the
candidate.
Through his personal counsel, Clar'
ence Shearn, Hearst last night denied
the stories circulated that his owner
ship of his newspapers through a
holding corporation is for the purpose
of escaping liability in case of law
suits. Mr.. Shearn declared that every
issue of his newspapers prints the ai'

From the New York World!
Has Harry K. Thaw. the slayer d
Stamford White. an insane eyer
Experts who have examined him
claim that he has. They say that a
peculiar dilation is to be observed in
the pupil Of the right eye; that the or
bits are different, and that there is q
peculiar dropping Of the lids only
seen in the eyes Of the insane. Upon
these facts, it is said. Thaw's counsel
will base their fight for his life.
Therefore, upon Thaw's eye alone
may rest the entire question Of his
sanity or insanity. The experts, IT
Is claimed, found nothing particularly
abnormal about Thaw's physical OF
mental makeup until they examined
his eyes.
His muscles were in good condition,
his pulse regular! his skin sensitive to
touch and pain, and the reflex action
Of certain tendons normal.
These things were not ascertained
without much trouble. Thaw has con.
sistently refused to be examined. by
alienists who were expected to prove
his insanity. Not until Mrs. Thaw, his
mother, hit upon the scheme of prov.
ing his sarIty by experts did he con
sent to determination.
1t is now claimed that these experts
will prove before the jury that Thaw
has the insane eye and that his in.
sanity. while now in the form of in
cipient paresis, will eventually take
a deeper hold and become visible in
other forms.
The examination took place in the
corridor of the Tombs prison last week
and was conducted by two expert
aIienists, DR.. Clinton, D. Evans, of the
State Asylum at Morris Plains, N. j..
and DR.. Charles 7. Wagner, of the
State Asylum at Binghamton, N. Y.
Their task was hard one. 1t was
to make a thorough examination of an
unwilling prisoner-to bring out ev-
cry point, against his will that would
tend to prove him insane--to cleave
to the truth and to earn their fees from
Thaw himself.
"You may examine all you please,
said Thaw, sharply. It's all lot OF
rot; I'm just as sane as you are" His
voice was metallic and shrill.
Then the two alienists began the
work which the defense hopes will
prove Thaw insane, but which Thaw
himself laughs at and calls foolish.
Every step in that examination had
to be considered carefully; the least
mistake would have caused an angry
baIk on the part Of the prisoner.
The specialists soothed Thaw by
saying that at that time, as far as they
could see, he was perfectly sane.
AS a matter of act, save for his VIC.
lent temper Thaw seems to be nor.
nal young man. But the examination
was not the less thorough, because the
alfenists knew full well that a verdict
of insanity sometimes turns upon the
tremor of an eyelid or slight obliquity
of vision.
In fact some alienists assert that all
men are more or less crazy, 1t is not
always difficult therefore for special
lists of worldwide reputation to con-
vince jury that there is something
amiss in a persons mental makeup.
