Evening Chat
Are You a Socialist?

I stood among crowd of men sew
eral evenings ago and listened to q
socialist make an imprisoned al
dress from the steps of the court
house. It was was practically the
first speech of Just its kind have
ever heard and in spite Of the fact
that few women seemed interested,
several passing quietly Struggling as
they went on by, | stood speilbouhu,
attempting for the moment 10 get tne
mans point of view. He seemed non
esuy sincere in his utterances ana ne
I!rew a large audience most OF Whom
remained to the end, 49,
The outstanding CONVICTION OF lne
speaker was that all rich men snoulu
be poor men and all poor ones ricn..
We were to establish government
whereby all men worked for the same
wages and II anybody saved more
than his fellows, that was TO be taken
from him and divided among MS
neighbors, he to get only share. The
sneaker stated that the laboring man :
child was in truth of more intellectual
TYNE than the rich mans son or daugh'
ter ii given equal opportunity. he
said he was glad women were to vote
because no woman would vote any
but the socialist ticket unless. she
wanted to vote her child out OF ms
rightful automobile and herself out OF
silks and. satins. Men did not love
their wives, said the speaker, or they
would stop following the two party
leads which helped buy fine homes
for the rich mans wife and put calico
on the wife OF the poor man.

Your Brain wan Find You out.

Yes. know there are dishonest
men everywhere laying aside money
they have obtained through false pre-
lenses. The man who obtains vast
sums through robblng banks might
also be called a fortunate possessor
OF fine things. His career though IS
usually very short lived. And ! be.
Iieye all dishonest men are punished
in proportion to their sins sooner or
later SO that their accounts stand pref
ty low at the end. The NJ. P. Temple
has large sign in front OF their
church TODAY which says: "Be sure
your sin will find you out" So let's
not consider this class. With the rest
of humanity we've got to understand
sooner or later that life is a vast
school and that we will be promoted
or placed in grade lower according
to our abilities. Q'll admit we've
one or two Instructions yet to re-
novel. And just as there never, was
school anywhere which had all top
grade PUPILS, so life will never be that
way. Much though we may deplore
the fact, there are many different va:
rieties of brains-some dull, some OF
fair intelligence, some of extraordi-
nary quality. Some brains are corn

What is Life Anyway?

Is life merely matter OF who wear
silks and satins? OF who rides in alt'
tomobiles and who walks? In that
crowd of listeners felt the longings
all about me for better things OF ma.
terial nature to such an extent that
turned and looked at some OF tn.
faces. They were eager, anxious and
many of them worried. And | knew
those people were taking the SEN
tence: TO him who hath shall be civ
en- and to him who hath not shall be
taken away even what he hath" quite
literally. Didn't it argue their very
misunderstanding of the world when
they believed that because the rich
man had accumulated fortune. ii was
still further unfair that he should be
able to build higher and higher his
dazzling heap OF good things? And
that because the poor man already
lacked the ordinary comforts of life,
he should sink still lower and live in
sordid fashion. 1t did seem unfair.
There are cases of misappropriated
