In the Socialist ranks there had been
criticism of the Milwaukee and Wis

cause the Berger wing OF the party
had coquetted too much with the
craft unions and thereby had COM
promised the fundamental principles
of Socialism, that these unions repre-
sent the wage-system which is part
and parcel of the capitalist system,
that the Marxians are trying to over
throw. Then came Daniel De Leon

1t looks to us as if a much more
sensible way OF treating the whole
subject of punishment and reward is
to regard it as condition OF the
mind of each individual. Heaven
and Hell are relative terms, now and
ever existing, and God and Devil are
intelligent directors OF force and in
centive controlled by the Master
Spirit-Conscience-for veal or woe,
depending largely upon environment
and heredity Of each individual
Thus we are all, as we are impelled
to act Justly with our fellow beings,

side of daily happenings, conspiring
to promote heavenly conditions on

the incentive for well-doing upon the

This view of human imnulse and

and logical and not dependent upon q
faith akin to superstition for under

sary to reject many scriptural pas
sapes which. when vested with the
form of allegory impress a meaning
that fixes the intention indellibly
upon an abstract truth by a concrete

ONLY remains to point out a Logical

mately nine per cent. Beans then
retailed at from Z to 8 cents per
quart, while now they cost from 10

FROM press reports it seems the
new Emmanuel movement for the
treatment of disease, at San Francis
co, has been abandoned by its cleri-
cal founders. The San Francisco ex-
pertinent has been closely watched
by mental healers and medical men
throughout the country. Treatment
by suggestion and connection with
material remedies to all appearances
lacked harmony and did not work
well together. Mrs. Eddy and her
adherents assert that mental treat
mcnt by mortal mind, such as hypno-
tism, mental suggestion, etc, are as
harmful to patients as the admins
tering of drugs or the application
of any material methods; that there
is no life in drugs; requiring univer
salLarmony and divine spirit, the only
moving cause in the universe, that if
we understand and apply this law it
will effectually heal humanity of dis
ease and sin. This sect believes that
disease is error, which is reflected by
ignorant and sinful mortal mind.
