the foe of all progress. especially IN
view of the manner in which organic
ed religion set itself against the new
knowledge. Nor is it at all remark
able that this temper should have sur
yived long after the facts which gave
it birth and justified it have ceased
to exist. A great deal of the argu-
ment of those Socialists who repeat
the old contention that Socialism and
Christianity are irreconcilably oppos-
ed rests upon the false assumption
mat christianity is essentially based
upon denial of the facts which
modern research has gathered, and
upon dOgmas which in reality have
long since been abandoned by most
Christians.
But there is another aspect of reli-
gion to be considered. The interpreta-
ton of the universe and it's forces is
but the framework of Religion.
Around this framework are woven
great ethical ideals, and we may very
properly ask whether there lis any
thing in modern Socialism at variance
with the ethical ideals of Christianity,
of Judaism, or of any other of the
great religions of the world. And this
is the most important aspect Of the
subject, after all: that which is vital
in any religion is not it's thought con-
corning God, but its teaching concern
ing human relations, not it's theology
but its ethics, it's sociology. -
Leaving aside, then, it's speculations
concerning the whence, why and
whittier of life, let us ask ourselves
what were the ethical ideals of Juda-
ism. Can they not be summoned lip

hood? The soul of Judaism is to be
found in the stern, inflexible demand
for justice voiced by Amos and Joel,
by. Micah and Hosea, Isaiah and
Ezekiel, and in the visions of world
brotherhood which these prophets
held up before the people. Essential
ly, Judaism was a great social gospel
based upon the principles of Justice
and Fraternity. These are not anita
gonized by Socialism, but on the con.

pies upon which its adherents are I'M

they involve the abolition of mono

The Socialist movement challenges
this honest and candid Investigation.
Its appeal is from prejudice to reason,
from passion to candor. Rarely indeed
do those who make this attack upon
Socialism adopt this attitude. A few
writer's only of the multitude who
have joined the discussion have had
the courage and candor to take it.
Some of these few have honestly adj
mitted that Socialists do not attempt
to destroy the family, that there is no
conscious effort in that direction on
the part of the movement. But they
claim that the extension of social leg

to the family, such as the education,
of children, for example. tends to de-
stroy family life altogether This is
fair criticism and as such merits ser
ious consideration.
1t is, of course, true that many
things which were formerly the sole
concern of the family are today cared
for wholly or in part by the state. II
is likewise true that in their political
programmes the Socialists propose
other extensions of collective respon
sibility and power in what was once
regarded as the sacred domain of the
private family. But it must be said
that Socialists did not originate this
development of state interference
an dthat many who are not Socialists
at all advocate considerable exten
sions of the movement. It is devel-
responsibility born out of the com
mon experience of mankind, and if il
cneds to strengthen the case for So
cialism may we not justly cite that
fact as an evidence of the justice OF
our cause.

gious spirit of Socialism. In like

Predict Break in Deadlock.

Two ballots were taken for United
States senator Monday night, but those
who anticipated changes of a material
nature were disappointed. However,
there were few such. 1t was generally
known, or at least claimed by the oppo-
sition to Nardaman, that there would
be no changes worth mentioning tonight.
They also declare that there will be
startling differences in the ballots on or
before Wednesday night, and that the
deadlock is going to be broken.
Both sides are apparently as sanguine
as ever. The Eardaman followers assert
that when the bre;N does come and the
opposition candidates begin to drop out
he will receive a score of second choice
votes, which will give him the nomina-
ton. This claim is offset by the oppo-
sition with the promise that their crowd
will stick together to the end and vote
for any one of their number who happens
to make the final test of strength.

INSOMNIA
Leads to Madness, If not Remedied in

Experiments satisfied me, some 5
years ago." writes a Topeka woman,
that coffee was the direct cause of the
insomnia from which I suffered ter
fbly, as we'll as the extreme
aess and acute dyspepsia which made
life a most painful thing for me.
Il had been a coffee drinker since
childhood, and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all this
harm. But it was, and the time came
when | had to face the fact, and pro-
iect myself. l therefore gave up coffee
abruptly and absolutely, and adopted
Postum as my hot drink at meals.
Il began to note improvement in my
condition very soon after I took on
Postum. The change proceeded grad
aally, but surely, and it was a matter of
only a few weeks before I found my
self entirely relieved-the nervousness
passed away, my. digestive apparatus
was restored to normal efficiency, and
! began to sleep, restfully and peace
fully.
"These happy conditions have con
tinued during all of the 5 years, and I
am safe in saying that l owe them en-
tirely to Postum, for when began to
drink it I ceased to use medicine"
