FIRST IN SERIES OF THREE,
FRIDAY EVENING
LECTURES
Plain Talk on Great Theme
Heard by Appreciative Audience
WONDERFUL VIEWS EXHIBITED

The first of the series of three Fri.
day evening lectures, under auspices
of the Y. p. S. L., was listened to by
very appreciative audience last Fri
day evening, at headquarters, 1912
California street. Nearly hundred
telescope views of startling magnifi
cence were exhibited, including, fol
example, most beautiful photograph
Of total eclipse Of the sun, VERT
able cyclone on the suns equator, sew
eral telescope views of the moor
which brought our nearest neighbol
to within rs miles of the earth, two
photographs of romantic Mars, with
his polar snow cap glistening in the
sunlight, also several exceedingly in
teresting drawings Of the Maritar
canal system; the mysterious ringet
planet Saturn was shown to advant
age, also the giant Jupiter. Halley's
comet was discussed and several
beautiful photographs OF the recent
visitor were exhibited, along with 9th
er comet pictures.
A notable feature OF the lecture was
a representation on the screen Of our
solar system, with the planets and
moons revolving around the sun. An
other device pictured the moon travel
ing around the earth, going through
its monthly phases, and raising the
ocean tides as it passed from new
moon to full, and back to new moon
again.
In all, about hundred views were
thrown on the large screen by means
of a powerful electric stereopticon
and each picture was explained in
such plain language that even a boy
or girl of twelve years could under
stand and enjoy 1t was certainly a
great educational treat, and the sue.
ceeding lectures should be patronized
and advertised by all who believe that
knowledge Of the universe in which we
live is one of the first steps toward
enlightenment and freedom.

DARWIN AND THE
SOCIALIST MOVEMENT

In the year 1906 the paper which
has the largest circulation among Eng
fish Socialists, "the Clarion" took 6
vote of its readers as to whom they
considered to be the greatest man
the man who had contributed most tc
the progress of the race, which Eng
land had produced. BY an overwhelm
ing majority the place of honor went
to Charles Darwin. That vote was as
much a vindication of English So
cialists as it was of the man whose
name has become almost a synonym
for modern science"
Leopold Jacoby writes thus: "The
same year in which appeared Darwin's
book and coming from quite a differ
ent direction, an identical impulse was
given to a very important develop
ment of social science by a book that
long passed unnoticed, and which bore
the title 'Critique of Political Econo-
my by Karl Marx; it was the fore
runner of Capital What Darwin's
book on the Origin of Species is on
the subject of the genesis and evolu-
ton of organic life from non-sentient
nature up to man, the work of Marx
is on the subject of the genesis and
evolution of association among human
beings of states and the social forms
of humanity"

SPIRIT OF MODERN
DRAMA" ABLY TREATED
BY COMRADE ULONSKA
Capitalism Has Produced Only a Mutt
and Jeff Literature and
Drama.

Our very efficient county secretary,
comrade Carl Ulonska. blazed a new
trail last Sunday evening when he
gave his interesting and suggestive
"The Spirit of the Modern Drama"
Every epoch, declared Ulonska, pro-
duces its own peculiar literature and
drama, the latter, especially, being a
direct reflection of the economic and
industrial conditions of the period.
Capitalism is in the Mutt and Jeff
stage of its history; and. the public
psychology and morals being but the
reflex of the economic status OF so
ciety, therefore it is the Mutt and Jeff
type of drama that finds patronage at
| the box office; while worthwhile
dramas Of revolt and revolutionary
aim meet with enthusiastic support
only from the discriminating minor
| ity. Capitalism is the foe of art,
poetry, the drama, the literature, fost-
ering only the sordid, banal, tawdry,
and contemplate. Opposed to this
cheap and degrading bourgeois litera-
ture and drama is the new school of
revolutionary art, the product Of brill
liant radicals, anarchists and Social
lists. who alone are producing works
that will live. A Mutt and Jeff econ
omic system can only produce a Mutt
and Jeff literature.
The lecture was much enjoyed by
all present, and it is hoped that other
locals will take up the study of the
modern drama in its relation to econ
omic and social conditions.
