THE FATE OF EMPIRES
CIVILIZATION CLAIMED TO BE "RECURRENT PHENOMENON"

The meaning of life has in all ages been the
goal OF human thought and the great extension
OF our knowledge OF the past by the researches
OF recent years. enables US now 20 view the
course OF human changes with more complete
ness than has been the case before In place OF
looking on the fall of the Roman empire as
monstrous and inexplicable fact We now see that
civilization is not only intermittent but is a rer.
ularly recurrent phenomenon"
This was the theory propounded BY Prof Film

institution on The Revolutions OF Civilization

civilizations; the first prehistoric: the second

traced In the medieval and classical periods

AFTER
DEMOCRATS
he SHARPLY CRITICIZED THOSE
WHO HAVE AGREED TO sup
PORT THE REVISED WooLEN
TARIFF SCHEDULE.

Washington. May 31.-w. j. Bryan
through a statement made public to-
day sharply criticized the majority of
the Democrats who agreed to support
the revised tariff schedule ON wool and
wooden goods, and warned the Demo-
Gratis against drifting toward protec-
tive policy. He declared this is the
most marked among Democrats whose
constituents are beneffciardes of the
system.
Underwood tonight declared Bryan's
attitude unjust and unfair and dis
closed that the wool tariffs will be
submitted to Thursdays caucus, which
is the same as the Wilson bill wool
schedules. He expressed the belief
that the caucus will adopt the bill as
a party measure.
