differing essentially from the
horse and the dog. The differ
ence is one Of degree only, and
not Of kind. Engles, in Ethics
and the Materialist Conception of
History (p. 119), says: Neither
as thinking nor as moral being
is man essentially different from
the animals"
The founders OF Socialism had
the courage of their convictions {;
they were not afraid to admit the
results that must follow newt
ably from the adoption of their
principles. Man is simply what
he must be, the creature of his
material environment. This is
called Economic Determination.
All changes in the past and future
have been and will be the results
of economic conditions. The So
cialist re-reads his history iii this
new light, and calls the process
the materialistic conception OF
history. All institutions and i'll
tellectual processes, including
philosophy, political science, the
prevailing form of religion, the
current conception of morality,
law, and even the form of FAM
lily. are said to have their roots in
the same soil.
The Communist Manifesto
teaches: In every historical epoch
the prevailing mode of economic
production and exchange, and the
social organization necessarily
following from it, form the basis
upon which is built up, and from
which alone can be explained, the
political and intellectual history
of that epoch" Commenting on
this passage an official bulletin OF
the Socialist Party of Great Brit
ain, entitled Socialism and Re-
ligion" Up. 30), says: "This ma
terialistic concept is the Socialist
key to history. 1t is directly an
tagonistic to all religious philos-
ophy." 1t quotes approvingly the
sentence: THE purely material
istic view, OH which Socialism is
based, is absolutely opposed to
the Christian teaching"

THE VALUE OF READING
HIBERNIAN HISTORY.

Ill a letter TO the various ulVl-
sions and officers in Pennsylvania
of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans, John O'Dea, State Secrc-
tary, says:
The founders of the Ancient
Order OF Hibernians accorded a
foremost place to the value of
reading.
In our Division meetings it has
been for generations obligatory
to read chapter of Irish history.
Those who would understand our
Ritual, and all members of our
degree teams must be familiar
with the incidents OF Irish history
which symbolic the sentiments
of Hibernianism.
The reading habit deserves en-
enlargement. It not only max
eth a full man." but it contributes
to mans success. 1t gives brain
power, increases enjoyment Of
leisure and enables many men to
secure better livelihoods.
1t is possible for a man to be a
loyal lIibcrnian without being an
intelligent man; but the reading
habit will increase his devotion to
the princip pies of IIibcrnianism by
unfolding to him the meaning Of
a thousand things now locked and
barred beyond his understanding.
The Hibernian who is not en-
lightencd upon the history of his
race cannot understand the tradi-
tons which, bind that race into
one mighty clan. united by those
sentiments which survive the as
saults of time, and which can only
be destroyed by ignorance.
No man i'll this age needs the
instruction of a university to be a
learned man. All around him are
books. These books are his uni
versity, and from their pages he
may secure treasures of the in
tellect more precious than any to
be found in the mines of the earth
or to be gathered from the halls of
Oxford or Harvard.
The reader of Irish literature
and Irish history will understand
why the reproach of ignorance
was uttered against our people
after the long blight OF the penal
laws. He will realize the I'M
mense progress made i'll regaining
our place among the cultured and
educated races of the world dur
ing the last fifty years. And he
will know that among the races
which gave their blood and the
labor of their hands and minds to
the greatness of this Republic,
none gave more than our own.
Without the learning of books
a Hibernian is blind to the deep
est significance of Hibernian prin-
ciples. He can seldom be an ac-
ceptable leader, because his linn
tied understanding imposes a re-
lance upon the guidance of bet
tcr-informed men. The time to
sheer at mere "book learning"
has passed forever. All civiliza-
tion-all human progress, wheth-
cr of nations, races, or individuals
rests upon the learning that is
in books.
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1917-02-17

1t was realization OF the pow
cr of reading-the necessity of
reading-that caused the estab-
lishment of our monthly maya
zine-"The National IIibernian."
On our official organ there is pro-
vided literature especially written
for Hibernians. This literature
they can obtain through no other
medium. In it's columns there is
comment upon the current issues
which affect our race, Our religion
and our Order. The reader of Our
magazine will learn to think &C
curatcly on all Hibcrnian sub
jects. He will be informed of the
events occurring within the Or
der, for he is in touch, not only
with the National and State Off
GERS, but with the ideas animating
Our membership in distant parts
of the American Continent, as
we'll as in other countries of the
world.
! There is every cvidcnce-in-
deed, there is overwhelming
proof-that "l'hc National Hiber-
MAN" is more widely read today
than at any time since it was es-
tablished. 1t has justified every
expectation. 1t is published at
less expense than any magazine
published in the world, of its
class, and it has, become an inte-
grail part OF the life of IIibernian-
ism on the American Continent.
Those members who read it at
tentively will profit by it's con-
tents, for its columns contain lit
eraturc that will widen the hori-
zon of their intellectual vision,
fortify them as defenders OF their
faith and their country, and i'll
crease their influence as individ-
uals and their power as IIiber-
mans.
| Long ago. during the centuries
when the Irish race taught the
world, when we earned the title
of "the Nation OF Saints and
! Scholars" -thosc iorbcars of ours
read more than any other people.
In those days the reading was
chiefly of a religious character. 1t
cannot be too strongly impressed
upon this generation that the
reading Of religious literature is
ennobling, and that there is moth
ing more certain to afford the
spirit strength and fit us for liie's
duties than the lnabitual study of
Catholic periodicals.. 1t is not
merely because tho lrish-Amcri-
can Catholic press presents our
faith and its truths and presents
the achievements of our race in
every land, clearly and attractive
ly, but because the patronage of
this press is duty we owe to

 AGAINST LA TOILETTE League of Municipalities Demands His Expulsion From the Senate.

Racine, Wis. Sept. 27.-The League of Wisconsin Municipalities in it's session here today adopted resolu- lions, at the close of Theodore Roose- velt's denunciation of Senator Robert M La Toilette. demanding that the United States senate expel the Wis consin senator from that body.
 The huge audience which packed the auditorium greeted Colonel Roosevelt's vitriolic utterances against Senator La Fol1ettes reported tat tempt to condone" the sinking of the Lusitania and it's consequent loss of lives of women and children, with loud applause and cries of That's right; that's right"
 Colonel Roosevelt said that he fully appreciated the loyalty of Wisconsin and scored those who discriminate against a man because of his birth, as un-American. There was the closest attention when the speaker compared Senator La Toilette to the Copper heads of the Civil War
 Reverting to the quoted remarks of the senator concerning the Lusitania the colonel pictured the scene in tho morgue at Vueenstown where dead mothers lay with dead babes in their arms and concluded:
 And a senator of the United States tries to condone this infancy"
 There were cries of "shame, shame" from all over the hall. When the col one1 spoke of Huns within our gates' being the most sinister of our ene- mics, and numbered MT. LaF'ollette among them, there was more applause and cries of That's right"
