THE CONOUERENC MARCH
OF RIGOROUS THINKING

| Comparison Of separate instances o
phenomena. inquiry into the processe,
of their manifestation. discovery, ex
Fermentation and demonstration, have
been the avenues by which all scien.
tific knowledge of mankind has been
acquired. This method is called induc-
tive reasoning, an operation of the con
scious mind Of man, and its initiation
marks the dividing line between super
stition and the dawn Of intelligence in
human affairs.
A student Of the mental science class
at Newllano on April 2, having heard
that all the ills Of mankind could be
traced back to error and deliberate mis-
information, inquired Of the reader of
the lesson, how it would be possible
for any one to think right, SO as to
escape the penalties Of wrong thinking.
The answer was, that with respect TO
human fellow beings, observance Of
the golden rule, both in It's affirmative
and negative aspects. in the actions
commended and the actions forbidden,
would prove entirely satisfactory. But
in dealing with things definite know
ledge of their proper utility would fill
the bill. And it must Be knowledge
that has direct connection with every
day requirements of human existence
here and now.
The great scheme Of the despoilers
Of the producers at all times has been
to divert the attention Of their victims
from the present condition and re-
quirements, and get them tangled up in
all sorts Of sophistries that are abso-
lutely foreign and non-essential to
their mundane needs and interests.
Life is called school, and if it is
people must give attention and learn
the lessons that the present plane of
existence imposes. Everyone must
learn to be useful and helpful for this

mond calls the greatest thing in the
world. A teacher Of old claimed that
Love is the fulfilling of the law" or
the observance of the principle Of con-
Quoting oneself and acting in accord
ance with the processes of social har-
mony and social economy. Love. then,
is the essence Of brotherhood, and the
proof that one is imbued with the SEN
timent Of love, Of brotherhood, is ocu-
larly, visibly, experimentally demon
by the willingness to labor for those
for whom love is professed. Jesus of |
Nazareth is credited with the statement
that Greater love hath no man than
that he devote his life to the service,

paper in Los Angeles, Cal. called
the Peoples Paper, reprinted an a.
sticle from the Bankers Magazine. that
reads as follows:
We must proceed with caution and
guard well every move made for The
lower orders, for the people are all
ready showing signs Of restless COM
motion. Prudence will, therefore, die
tate a policy of apparently yielding to
the popular will until all our plans are
50 tar consummated that we can de-
clare our designs without fear Of any
organized resistance. The Farmers
Alliance and socialist organizations II
The United States should be carefully
watched by our trusted men, and we
must take immediate steps to control
these ORGANIZATIONS in our project to
disrupt them. AT the coming Omaha
convention our men must attend and
direct its movement, or else there will
be set on foot such antagonism to our
designs as may require force to over
come.
This, at the present time, would be
premature. We are not yet ready for
such crisis. Capital must protect it.
self in every possible manner through
combination and legislation.
The courts must be called to our aid
and debts must be collected: bonds
and mortgages must be forecIosed as
rapidly as possible.
When, through the process of law,
the common people have lost their
homes, they will be more tractabIe
and easily governed through the In
fluence of the strong arm of govern
ment applied by central power Of |
imperial wealth under the control Of |
leading financiers. A people without
homes will not quarrel with their ruI-
ers.
History repeats itself in regular cv-
cles. This truth is we'll known among
our principal men now engaged in |
fornoino an IMPERIALISM OF CAPT.

While they are doing this the peonTe
must be kept in condition of poIit-
ical antagonism.
THE question of tariff reform must
be urged through the organization !

THE AMERICAN COLLEGE
(By The Federated Prss.l

!. The average American college is
a plutocratic hierarchy. The men at
the top-the trustees-are the same
men who run the banks. packing hous-
es. and the department stores, and
they take their business psychology In
to the trustee meetings with them.

an academic dictatorship teachers

labor for the members Of fellowship
those protesting love in truth and sin
cerity are credited with tie Apostle
Paul in the 18th chapter Of the CORN
thlans, fourth verse, as displaying Ger
tain other characteristics BY which they
can be recognized as follows; Love
suffereth long and is kind; love envi-
eth not; love vaunteth not itself, Is not
puffed up, doth not behave itself UNI
seemly, seeketh not its own, is not pro-
voked, taketh no account Of evil; rel
joiceth moi IN unrighteousness. but re-
joiceth with the truth; beareth all
things. believeth all things. hopeth all
things, endureth all things, love never
faileth.'
Knowledge must always precede
faith in the practice Of brotherhood,
as we'll as in the practice of anything
else. Sentimental protestations, mere
ipseryice have no practical value at
all. When we do useful work and help
70 supply the food, clothing, housing
education, entertainments, and ethical
necessaries of our fellows, that alone
supplies conclusive proof Of the SIN
cerity Of love professed.
Egotistical aspiration to be in tneI
limelight, for vainglory, for para
sltical position or existence at the ex-
pense of workers anywhere. on the
other hand, is positive proof Of sell
fishness. Of iniquity, Of disregard Of
every principle Of right, justice and so-
cial harmony.

a community or a nation will deter
