does not capitalize.
Marks only formulation Of his theory of historic
materialism declares
l. Men as producers enter into certain relations
(such as master and slave foreman and laborer
etc)
g. These relations are the economic structure of
society.
This economic (nateriaD structure deter
mines the political and indeed, the whole ideolo-
gical structure. (Thus if slavery is necessary

the period, it's religion, it's ethics, it's philosophy
will sanction slavery)
A. Modes of production change.
5. But religion, law, morality and philosophy
are conserving factors and tend to stand still.
6. Because they protect obsolete privileges and
outworn relations, they become fetters upon the
further development of the forces of production.
Z But the class whose privileges are protected
fights to maintain these privileges. Against them
rises class whose one opportunity and whose
whole interest lies in developing the new modes
and relations of production Thus comes the
period of social revolution.
Thus the core of MARKHAM materialism is the
explanation of social revolution. It is very little
concerned with individual motives and least Of all
with the cheap pocket-book economic" motives
that the petty bourgeois economists have read
into it and which you have developed to their
highest form in your "singe DESIRE the desire
to increase his own share Of commodities"
And far from neglecting your "non-economic"

j. H Mockler Makes Generous
Park Donation.

John Fl. Mockler, formerly one
of our most highly esteemed citi-
zens but now resident OF Clarks-
ton, on last Tuesday demonstrat-
ed in very substantial way that
his heart was still with Nezperce
when he turned over to the Mem
orial Park committee the Boss
Barn property, very reasonably
valued at $1400, for $500; making
a donation of the difference to
the good cause.
This additional tract assures
our town of one Of the best base
ball grounds on the prairie, with
ample room; and there is almost
sufficient lumber in the large
barn on the property acquired
from Mr.. Mockler to construct
commodious grand stand.
The park committee gave as
surance Monday that this much
needed local improvement would
be made a reality as quickly as
possible by starting worknen at
planting trees and breaking
ground on the hillside prepara-
tory to terracing and planting
that portion to trees and shrub
berry.
The last report of the subscrip-
ton committee, which completed
pretty thorough canvass Of the
community Tuesday, showed the
amount Of $4,100 which had been
raised. This, with the subscrip-
tions yet in prospect, assures the
carrying out Of the Memorial
Park project in every detail, and,
finished, it will be an improve
ment every citizen will be proud
of and visitors will commend as
another fine evidence of the pro-
gressive spirit of the county seat
Of Lewis county.
