Altho plans for the coming season
were discussed, no action was taken.
The clubs directors will arrange a
program during the summer months,
Dr.. Steiner On Hating.
When DR.. E. A. Steiner, of Grinnell,
was introduced, he was given the same
rousing welcome that has always
marked his appearance before the club.
DIR. Steiners lecture was an outlin-
ing Of the causes of race and individual
hatred and the results. He said that we
hate the negro. the Italian. and the
Jew. because they are negroes, Italiahs
and Jews. In other words, hatred
for the race includes hatred for the
individual member Of the race.
I'VE think of some individuals OF the
present day type Of the Italian we
know" he said. "but we seldom think
Of those grand old Italians, such as
Columbus. Raphael and Paul."
He declared this race hatred was the
cause of nearly all Of the social unrest
in America. The man who comes to
this country has the instinct of gov
ernmental hatred bred in him because
his home government has always hated
him, and he transfers that hate to
America. Using force to subdue the
anarchist and nihilist," DR.. Steiner
said, only arouses them to greater
hate, and the things that have made
the Italian an anarchist and the Rus
sian a nihilist in his native country,
are at work in America today.
He said the corruption in the New
York police force was fully as bad as
1t was among the police of Moscow.
His Remedy.
DIR. Steiner's remedy is to stop hat
ing and begin to love. Love and not
hate, he said, was the solution. He
closed by saying that the only cure
for the social evils is not more laws,
but more justice among ourselves.
DR.. Steiner told many stories to IL
lustrate points in his lecture, and he
recounted many OF his experiences,
those growing out Of the
weeks spent in the Pennsylvania coal
fields last summer.
