DEMOCRACY GLORY
Of THE INDIVIDUAL
DR.. Charles Fleischer Delivers
Illuminating Lecture on
Vital Theme.

Dr. Charles Flelscher OF Boston de1iV-
cred the first of a series of three lee
lures In the First Congregational church
in this city last evening. George Coray.
professor OF sociology at the University
Of Utah, introduced the speaker with a
short talk, in which he said that he
agreed with DR., FleisCher In many sub
jeCts.
Democracy" was the subject OF the
discourse by DR.. Fleischer last night ana
1t was treated In a broad and compre-
hensive way. Democracy" ne said. 'ls
Infinitely more than n form OF govern
ment or a type OF political experiment.
II is II spiritual conception regarding the
individual man and human relationships
1t Is the organization Of society on the
basis of respect for the Individual human
unit A democrat Is sociaiized indiI
exist that seeks to BATTLE or be offlclous
to that Individual"
DR.. Fleischer seemed Of an optimistic
turn and said emphatIcally that democ-
racy would eventually triumph, II may,
not be In America, he said, but II should
be here and he hoped that 1t would be
here, Democracy" he said, rs a
transcendent doctrine and will eventually
be achieved II We Americans do not
become democratic. then we shall go on,
probably for centuries. We shall grow
In spendor and material greatness, but
We shall reach zenith and then will be-
gin the decline and the decay.
"Since social institutions exist In order
TO express and To serve man, they are
self condemned, especially In a demo-
cratic civilization, when they undertake
to tryannize man and make him a
creature OF his own creations. Whatever
tends to bciitte man, the individual. is
opposed to the democratic spirit which
exists in order TO gorfy and cXalt him"
DR. Fleischer's lecture, which was in
teresting throughout. was heard by a
representative audience. He will lecture
tl,Io ,.lNt To
and Jesus" and tomorrow evening he
will speak on Americas Religion"

Text Of Charges.

The communication was as follows:
workingman by the name OF John
Gulian lost his savings of many years
on the streets of Salt Lake, lie had
taken the roll OF St450 from the bank
To invest I'm a chicken ranch. This
roll was found by man by the name
OF jacobson; Information given TO
the police by Christensen and eventu-
ally recovered by "a piece OF work for
which the police deserve great
credit.
Now, to a rich man. a reward OF
a few hundred dollars to the finder
of his money would be nothing, but
to poor man. to see his $3.50 re-
duced to 1890 and then to be asked
TO give up 5000 more. II is very scrl
Gus matter. All visions OF his chick
en- ranch In Salt Lake City begin TO
vanish as he sees his sl450 dwindle
to s1l00. To his mind the police are
paid for Just such work. so he sees
no reason TO add another 800 to the
reward OF 800 that, at the lnstiga-
tion OF the police. he had already Of
fered, The chief then asked him IL
he would not be willing to pay an
other 500. or 5000 In all, to have
his $3.50 back at once. OF course. he
said yes.
Then. the next day. he is offered
his money. OF what was left OF 1t,
provided he would pay Christensen
and Prichard 500 and give another
800 to the inspector. When the man
found that there was only $3.50 he
refused to pay an additional s100, and
so the police advised Christensen co
attach the money,
