TRUTH IS DEE OILY LIBERAToR

That knowledge is the only dependa-
BE guide in all human activity, was
emphasized BY Comrade George Pick
EFT in his opening speech at the psy-
Geological meeting meeting on the ev-
erning Of March 10, at the Nswllano
Hotel. He Illustrated that fact by a
co-temporaneous experience in our
brick plant. The machinery had work
ed unsatisfactory, and there were two
opposing opinions held as to the as
sumed cause responsible for it.. In or
der to settle the matter. the machinery
was taken apart and the real cause
discovered, the defect repaired. and
the old mud-eater is now working
smoothly, has more than tribled the
output, and the clashing opinions have
been thrown in the discard.
Il was pointed out that by proper
investigation and study, and the ac-
quirement of the technical knowledge
already available for almost every
handicraft and industry under the sun,
the mischievous folly of indulging in
fabulous opinions would be given up.
Friendly discussion and all-around,
scrutnous analysis of proposed action
was commended, but harsh, carping
fauItfinding. which camouflages itself
mostly under the term of criticism,
was unquaIifiedly repudiated.
Also, the blaming Of the senses for
mistakes made, was stated to be an
erroneous conception. A sense may be
defective ve-there is such thing as CO.
lor-blindness, partial deafness, and ey-
en- more serious Deficiencies; but il
the senses are normal, they report
truthfully according to the degree OF
attention devoted to any subject. But
the ego jumps at conclusions in its ea-
ger haste, and with inadequate inves-
tigation and data forms opinions which
are imagined and claimed to be truth,
when, instead, they are only the fatu-
Gus vaporings Of immature minds.

WOMENS STUDY CLUB


Our study brings US to the conditions
which brought about the revolution,
known as the Protestant Reformation.
1t is a poor rule that does not work
both ways, says our author. The pro
letariat having gagged itself by yelling
its revolutionary aims with theological
phrases, could do nothing to rescue its
movement upon the disintegration
Of the Roman State, and found itself
in the net Of the Roman Church.
Near the end of the second century
provincial synods were organized with
executive committee composed Of bish-
ops who had become astute politi-
clans.
So the Roman State was merely re-
placed by the Roman Church in the
struggle. Whether the ruling classes
were arrayed against each other or the
proletariat, the secret motive was the
control of the organization and thu;
Of its funds. Mysticisms were intro
duced with the simplicity of the origin.
al doctrine-for instance whether Je-
sus was God or only Godlike, occupied
the Christian mind for centuries.
With every mystic addition, contro
of the organization seceeded further
from the control of the proletariat

MONEY CONTROL

the people must control the money, OF
they will be dominated and exploited
by means Of, and through, the mechan-
ism and instrumentality Of money by
a small number of unscrupulous and
predatory individuals, who have asso-
ciated themselves in close corpora

perience of Wayland, the founder Of
the Appeal to Reason" who saw
the financial crash of 1893 coming,
and saved himself in time. by selling
his real estate at supposed sacrifice
and mourning the derision Of a lot oi
