Instructive and Entertaining.

In spite of the bitter cold and delay
in the arrival of the train which did not
bring the speaker until 8 o'clock,
large audience assembled IN the opera
house Wednesday evening to hear Rev.
Carl d. Thompson deliver an address
on socialism entitled the "Fulfillment
of Democracy" and all who heard it
felt repaid for Drawing the cold and
enduring the long wait.
While Mr.. Thompson is doubtless as
much radical as any of the party, he
created much better impression than
any other speaker the socialists have
presented here. His address was de-
voted principally to showing that social
ism was not ga DREAM" but that it
was genuinely constructive, and he
proved his point better than the aver
age socialist speaker by citing in
stances of constructive laws and reforms
brought out by the socialists of Mil
waukee and Wisconsin and then show
ing how these laws and reforms could
be made to apply to other cities, states
and governments.
His opening remarks concerning the
initiative, referendum, the recall, the
election of senators by popular vote or
the abolition of the upper house entire
ly, and the curtailment of the power
of the U. S. supreme court was thor
oughly progressive democratic doctrine.
and as such we appreciated it highly.
His reply to the cry that in this country
all have an equal opportunity was con-
vincing whether or not one might agree
with him upon the proper methods OF
securing equal opportunities to all mer
and to each man the full reward of his
toll.

Was the to blame? Not She would have given
her life for the baby she threw out of the window What
is the reason, then, of such an unaccountabe act?
Well the reason is in the facts back of the phrase any

motion by the instinct of self preservation but still more
by the equally deep instinct of devotion to offspring
Woman has loved her child that nature has set up in

who threw her baby out of the window.
Sometimes these instincts and affec-

chased by wolves. They the gaun hungry Russian
wolves that kill people, and she in one of those low

Her baby was in her arms. Somehow it slipped out, was
seized upon by the wolves devoured and in the respite
from pursuit the escaped. That story horifes
everyone that reads it. For everyone believes that she

be willing to live by sacrificing her child.
1t is horrible. But how many people there in this
nation who sacrificing their children under less
pressure?
The little girl sent out to work or shaving at the sweat

The boy sent into great inhuman mne factory or
