Ethics and the Materialistic Concep-
ton of History. BY Karl Kautsky.
Chicago: c. H. Kerr & CO.
With the pen of a ready writer and q
| knowledge of the best that has been
written on the relation of the soul to
God on one hand, and to the Cosmos
on the other, DR.. G. L. Arnold in his
Cosmos, the Soul and God" becomes
the bearer of message that is both
new and vitality important. This uni
verse the author regards as objective
to God-that is to say, as bearing the
same relation to him as the body bears
to the soul. Upon this postulate he
builds theory that he claims solves
many of the difficulties which have
long baffled idealist and materialist,
and which Is abreast of the recent dis
coveries and speculations of scientists;
hence it will be seen that should this
hypothesis rise to the position of a
generally accepted doctrine, it's influ-
ence on philosophic thought will be
far reaching.

The publishers of the Broadway
magazine find that large number of
people throughout the country do not
understand the new policy of the maga-
zine. Formerly a stage and theatrical
magazine of a certain type, it has been
lrehabilitated entirely. 1t is now clean,
wholesome, snappy, we'll illustrated
popular magazine for the home, and
has no Affiliations whatever with the
theatrical life of New York. A careful
glance through it's pages will convince
any reader Of this fact.
