These workers, when they rise, will
seek to revenge themselves upon the
wealthy. In that day, if the necks
of the capitalists are saved, it must
be through the socialists" were the
final words of this remarkable lee
ture.
The third lecture of the Lyceum
course will be given by a woman-Lu-
ella Twining-who has been in the la
Dor war all her life. She is acquaint-
ed with every phase of it here and
abroad, and was delegate to the last
International Socialist congress-.
On account Of the lecture, the wo-
mans committee will not serve re-
freshments as is customary on the last
Sunday of the month. There will be,
however, a distribution of copies of
the Progressive woman the official
organ of the woman's committee.
Victor Grayson, former member of
the British Parliament, is now in this
country to study labor conditions here.
He predicts that there will DOR be a
great war between some of the lead
ing powers, to secure control of the
rapidly diminishing markets of the
world.
Mr.. Grayson is accompanied by his
wife, who is a militant suffragette.
Mrs. Grayson told a reporter that the
women of England had been trying
for sixty years to Obtain the ballot by
peaceful means, but now they knew
\ - -,
it. 1t is the only way to make the
British public understand that the
women really demand the right of suf-
frage.
1t is generally believed that the OPP
position to equal suffrage in England
is mainly due to royal influence. This
royal influence is the subject of an in
terview in the April Goth issue of the
New York Call, by w. b. Nothrop,
with Morris Davidson, the English So
cialist-democrat, and author OF The
New Book of Kings
Speaking of royalty in general
sale Mr.. Davidson, land of the present
monarchy in particular, there seems
to prevail in America the opinion that
the king of England is always a figure
head-that he has no influence what
~ever-that he merely signs documents
drawn up by his ministers.
II wish to say, however, that the
late King Edward welded vast power
in every way. I also wish to add that
despite his reputation for being good
natured, he was quite as great a ty-
rant as any monarch who has eve
reigned before him-not excepting
| George w. or Henry the VIII.
when rince of wales, he was
practically owned by Cecil Rhodes.
1.-THE Influence of h present king
is very vast. His social sway is par
amount, and his influence in state af-
fairs is not to be belittled."
, Mr.. Davidson further states that
| through his appointment of bishops
and creating peers, the king gains this
political influence, and his vast wealth
gives him additional power. Of the
man, Mr.. Davidson says that hi
would be untitled for any form OF
political post under a republican form
of government. In the United States
his record would absolutely finish hin
in political life, and l would like tt
see him attempt to run for office il
