The Rev. DR.. William Temple, pas
tor of st. Elizabeth's Roman Catholic
Church, in an address before the Civic
Association last night, delivered some
straight hits from the shoulder at
capitalists, socialists, politicians, city
and State officials, to an audience
which included many of these and
which showed appreciation by siren
uous applause and hearty laughter
all through the lecture. The associa-
tion was thoroughly stirred up.
Dr.. Temple began his address with
a recapitulation of the Socialist
charges against modern civilization;
that capitalists control absolutely the
industries, press, churches. colleges.
judiciary and legislative bodies of
the country; that the working man is
not given fair share of the fruits
of his labor; that every step forward
is taken in the teeth of capitalist op-
position. Dr. Temple said he was
bitterly opposed to Socialism. but be-
because of the immense amount of
truth in its charge against society,
he thought that IL threatened to burst
upon this country. Everybody nova
days is talking of industrial and
social conditions, and the only prac-
tical answer to socialism, said the
speaker, was an organization such as
the Civic Association, in which intel
ligent. conscientious men bestirred
themselves TO give good laws and
government, to manage their factories
we'll. and to maintain a friendly
spirit in the community.
Living Wage for Every Man.
DR.. Temple said the first duty Of
Wilmington was to give every man
a living wage. There should be a
pressure of public opinion, he said
to prevent any employers from giving

ENTERTA|NS
GRAPPLER

Friends of William Ahlborn, or
Count Wilhelm Won Ahlborn.' they
call him. want it be known that the
contractor is developing a big bump
for sport. AS the most recent evidence
of this they cite the fact that only
yesterday he entertained Paul Balm,
the wrestler who is known in the sport
ing world Sampson the German
strong man. For other evidence to
show that the contractors is a sport
they cite the fact that he has acquired
his title of count and that he has
taken to horseback riding.
Mr.. Ahlborn denies all the charges,
saying that his alleged friends are try
ing to get him lin bad with the ladies,
and explains his entertainment of the
wrestler yesterday on the ground that
he was compelled to be the polite host
because the German strong man visited
Mr. AhIborns brother-in-law, Frank
Gelinski of Beall avenue. Mr.. Gelinski
and Sampson were school day friends
in the fatherland.
