Prof. w. F. Ries of Toledo, Ohio, deliv-
cred his unique lecture at Tuileries park,
Denver, last Sunday. He delivers his
lecture with humor and illustrates with
charts made from the United States
census reports, in large figures SO every
person in the audience can see and un-
derstand, besides being well entertained
by his humorous comparisons. Then he
carries with him pamphlets on Men and
Mules, Monkeys and Monkeyettes, Lions
and Lambs, Heads and Hands, which are
written by himself. He establishes a
system of distribution of these by fur
nishing them on commission to any or
ganized and recognized local. So with
his books, charts and lecture there are
only very few that can equal him as a
propagandist and organizer By profes
sion he is a teacher and his lecture is
also entertaining to all. Nobody should
miss him, if they are within reach.

The national office complains that sew
eral secretaries do not report the num-
ber of paid-up members their local or
ganizations have when they report Sec
onding any motion. Please don't fail to
properly report that, as it is necessary
to know before the national Office can
determine when sufficient number have
seconded a motion
The state secretary has furnished the
national Office with list of the local or
ganizations at such places as may be
able to take course of lectures under
the newly proposed system of the Ma
tional Socialist Lyceum Bureau. A course
consists of five lectures by five different
! Socialists, every admission ticket has
with it a coupon good for a 25-cent sub
scription to any Socialist periodical or
for any Socialist book or pamphlet, that
a person may select when he decides
what he wants. The locals have to buy
$500 of these coupon subcards and sell
them. The lectures will cost only the
use of a hall and enuogh reserved seats
can be sold to pay for that in small
city.
! 1t is to be hoped that there will be
several places in Colorado that can take
this course of proposed lectures and have
opportunity to hear the best speakers in
| . bn th,t nil ha nil
be to hustle to sell the tickets, for sub
scriptions and literature, either before or
after the lecture, or both, as they will be
good at any time, the same as cash, but
of course they will sell the easiest before
the lecture, so the buyer can hear the
speeches free.
| The national Office now has transla-
tors in Finnish, Italian, South Slavic and
Polish. II there is any prospect of or
ganizing local or to sell subscriptions
or literature in any of those languages
please notify the state secretary and he
will assist you.
