SOCIAL PROBLEMS There never was time
in mans history when so many people yearned
for the betternent of the conditions of living.
In every age few great souls have proclaim
ed their vision of reformed society, but to-
day hundreds of thousands of people, toilers
and thinkers, are devoutly wishing for more
reasonable order of things, and applying them
selves to bringing it about. The Theoretical
Anarchist tells US that it can come only by less
government organizations, by removing the
restraints which organized society puts upon
the individual. The Socialist says it will come
only through greater organized cooperation.
Come to the Opera House this evening and

c., has to say. He sees a solution entirely
from the individualistic point of view. Origi-
