NATIONAL LECTURE COURSE.
To be Held Under the Auspices of the
Twin Falls Socialist Local.
Twin Falls. Idaho. Nov. g 1911.

Twin Falls, Idaho, Nov 2, 1911.
To the Editor OF the Times.
Again we ask the kind indulgence
of your columns to bring to the atten-
ton of the public the very important
matter of the attempt to secure Twin
Falls City, as point Of the circuit for
the National Lyceum Lecture course
The lecturers, who are to be secur-
ed for the Twin Falls dates, are men
and women, who are deep students of
the science of government and will
present the studies in Socialism in
such elegant and refined simplicity
that all can understand and appreciate
the facts involved.
Now, to secure these five lectures
the Twin Falls Socialist local has
about twenty-five members out solicit
ing purchasers of tickets at $10O each
These dollar tickets will secure each
buyer one dollars worth of books or
papers mailed to their address.
IT the sales of literature, as herein
stated, reach the sum total of $500. 90
then Twin Falls will be selected in
the route of the Pacific section of
these national speakers.
We now beg of the Twin Falls coun-
ty population to aid us in this endeav-
or. II interest enough can be aroused
to buy only little literature on the
part of each citizen, we will be more
than assured the necessary amount
for the speakers and the hall rent.
Another phase incident to this mat
ter Is that the county court house
should be the place of holding, free of
all charges, debates and expounding of
all matters pertaining to public well
fare, and not only for the conduct of
legal court questions. Let all enter
prises of public educational tenden-
cies and political parties have the use
of the unoccupied dates of this fine
building. That's what it is there for
not to lie idle nine-tenths of the
time.
Today the masses of unemployed In
this country as we'll as in France and
other foreign lands are wandering
from place to place for the chances of
getting work, and what for? Why
just to be allowed to secure for them
selves and family the barest necessi-
ties of life, and then you call this age
one of the highest forms of civiliza-
tion!
In the face Of the fact that the i'm
proved machinery of production and
distribution of the necessities, COM
forts and luxuries of life has out-dis-
tanced the demands of the people of
most lands, the wants of the great
majority of the wealth-producers &C
unheeded
Every purchaser of one dollars
worth of literature or papers will be
entitled to attend the entire course
of five lectures free, If the project
reaches the amount of 100000 sales.
1t becomes the evident enlistment Of
each additional ticket-holder to boost
for and aid the, further sale of tickets
The comrades of this movement are
self-sacriflcing and patriotic workers
| who were mostly former Republicans
and Democrats and have seen the err
ror of these party principles carried
out under the capitalist system of pro.
fit. They are facing the sneers and
| jibers of the ignorant or prejudiced
opponents and deserve your hearty as.
| sistance.
