Not all Washingtonians fear the
threatened "malevolent movement"
however. There exists in Washington
an organization which provides
weekly lectures, in which the teach
ings Of radical doctrines are promi
nent. In this course lecture was
given last month on "Nietzsche and
the New Morality by Prof. Henry
FURY, teacher Of science in the
Eastern High School, in which the
speaker extolled the character and
doctrines of NietZsche. Last Sunday
the lecture was on Karl Marx-the
Man and His Philosophy" by Mr..
Samuel SalOman. A few days ago
there was an enthusiastic lecture at
the same hall by Mr.. Linn A. e. Gale.
late publisher Of a paper, "Revolu-
tionary Communism" His theme
was THE Universal Muddle."
Regarding NietZsche, the Encyclo-
paedia Americana says: The aristo-
cratic moral ideal that Nietzsche would
substitute for this one takes self
assertion as it's most essential char.
acteristic. At the bottom of every
thing is the will for power, and all
that makes for fullness of life is to
be cherished, even though it overrides
all our ideas of morality and religion.
The so-called virtues of pity, humility
and the like are merely symptoms OF
weakness and degeneracy The i'm
pulses should be given full play, not
weakened by despicable self-denial."
The Encyclopedias Britannica says
Of the same Nietzsche:
Revolt against the whole civil en-.
vironment in which he was brought
up Is the keynote Of Nietzsche's lit
erary. career. His revolt against Chris
tfan faith and morals turns him into
a proudly atheistic 'freethinker' and
preacher OF a new master morality
which transposes the current valua-
tions, deposes the Christian virtues
and incites the 'overman' ruthlessly
to trample under foot the servile
herd Of the weak. degenerate, poor in
spirit. His revolt against the theory
of state supremacy turns him into an
anarchist and individualist; his revolt
against modern democracy into an
aristocrat.'
In the light of these encyclopedia
analyses the title of the lecture.
"Nietzsche and the New Morality"
becomes clear, and the term ''aristo-
crat" was explained by the lecturer
as meaning the strong, the specially
able, who by his conscious superiority
Is most capable Of ruling the masses
in benevolent" overlordship This is
the reverse OF democracy, vet the
NietZsche anarchists appeal to the pro-
letariat for support.
The fact that Nietzsche was insane
during much Of the time when he was
writing his revolutionizing diatribes
against organized civilization, and
that from 1879 until his death in 1900
he was hopelessly insane, is not usual
ly discussed in Nietzsche lectures.
Nfetzsche and Marx are the patron
saints Of communism.
