THINKS SOCIALISM READY.
Will Correct Present Political Evils
Saws Prof. Will.

That socialism is the remedy for the
various political evils which he said are
depressing the country at this time was
the assertion of Prof Thomas E. Will,
at a meeting of the Secular League in
Pythian Temple yesterday afternoon. His
subject was, Causes of Political De-
cadence"
THE causes of our political evils are in
the domination of the commercial spirit
and in the policy of 1aissez-faire.' under
which private interests have been allowed
to grow until they overshadOw the gov
eminent" declared the speaker. These
great private interests now rule. The
lawyers the important class which makes
our laws, are coming under the control
of big business since their success and
prosperity are dependent upon it under
present conditions. Today the command
goes forth to the lawyers, Serve the cor
porations" and the ablest members of the
profession are needing that command"
The proposed legislation recommended
by the national monetary commission was
denounced by the speaker as in the in
terests Of a "money trust" which. 1t was
held, is to be one of the next and most
dangerous forms in which 'big business
and monopoly are to be- manifested.

CORD WOOD AT THE WHARVES.
Freezing Weather of Last Month
Greatly Lessened the Supply.

Though tho supply of cord wood on

harbor and on the Eastern branch is get

that they have enough on hand to meet

time the river will be open and the wood
laden craft will be arriving. When the
freeze began in the early part OF jan
uary the wharves were all stored with
cord wood of all kinds. Then the cold
weather came and the mills had to work
overtime to supply the demand for sawed
and split wood, and the wood piles be-
gan TO disappear rapidly Yesterday
about two-thirds OF the supply on hand
a month ago had been sold, but as there

FATHER VAUGHAN SCORES
EVILS OF PRESENT DAY
True Greatness Depends on
Character, Jesuit Priest
Says in Lecture.

In a talk crowded with epigrammatic
sentences and barbed arrows of deuun-
citation of present-day tendencies,
Father Vaughan, Jesuit priest and ora
tor. of London, lectured at the Belasco
Theater last night, his subject being
Character the Need of the Day."
Father Vaughan was introduced by
former Attorney General Charles J..
Bonaparte. .-.'.,
The speaker said that the nations Of
the world are beginning to recognize the
fact that the true greatness of a state or
a republic is not to be measured in
terms of acres Or of wealth, but in
terms of character. There are three
great engravers of character, he said,
these being heredity, environment and
education. OF late. he said, the pen
dulum has swung from heredity to en-
vironment. and the votaries of pleasure
are making environment the all-absolv-
ing excuse for their lives of scandal.
Once on the inclined plane,' he said,
unless you are an acrobat, you can
only slip farther down. There is no
funicular trackway to heaven. but there
is any amount of tobogganing to hell.
You cannot live on whipped cream, nor
can YOU build character on sunshine
Question of Dancing.
Launching an attack on the pleasures
of the present day, and referring especial
ly to dancing, Father Vaughan said:
'fLet dancing be exhilarating. but never
Intoxicating Animal dances with ami
NAL names lead to animal performances
they are not human. nor for humans"
TT would be WE'LL. said the speaker,
haf,r In
the sacred state of life called matri-
mony would bear more closely in mind
that what is bred in blood comes out In
the bone. If they would there might be
fewer tokens Of physical wreckage on
the highways and byways of life. Man
and woman in welded life should be in
dssolubly one, infallibly true and inde-
fectibly good. Instead of expecting SO
much more, let them be contented with
much less, each from each. Love means
giving. not getting.
Speaking of education, Father Vaughan
declared vehemently that in these days
boys and girls are well trained but
badly educated: If education means any
what is in the youth rather than filing
him up with facts and statistics. as
though he were a delivery van, to be un-
loaded as soon as possible.
Weapon of Education.
There is no inner or more terrifying
weapon to put into the hands of the rls-
ing generation than the weapon OF edu-
cation he said; but unless religion cap.
tains that troop of youth, teaching it to
use that weapon properly. we may in
the near future be forced to realize that
instead of having drilled an army We
have armed a mob.
Nothing, he said. has given such an
impetus to socialism as the creedless,
cradleless nursery, the pleasure-bound
life and the extravagant orgies Of modern
society, and nothing can stem the Tide
of revolt against law, order and author
ity but shifting of ambitions back to
the old ideals of higher things.

simple. On every gallon of whisky the
government collects a tax of $1,1O, or 500
per cent above the cost of production.
The manufacturer pays the tax, but
when he does he adds to the cost of the
product. When a man buys drink of
