"THE SONG OF THE FLAME"

"THE SONG OF THE FLAME"
VOU are thrown into absolute dark
l. ness. A strange song is in the
air. Then the curtain goes up on a
scene that will thrill your aching,
boss-ridden bones to their very mar
row. A sea of hands-iust hands,
gnarled, abused hands of labor-are
the only things you see in stream of
light, and the rest is lost in a gradual
dimness that fades into black.

in the air. At this moment you hope
and you wonders this-can this
be-? But no, it's the American stage.
Don't worry, you won't be disappoint-
ed. The theme Is too big for the
authors and the producers. 1t degen-
crates into just an operetta that is
worth seeing, it is true, but only be-
cause it has some good music, cos
tunes and scenery. The big thing you
feel for moment is lost sight of.
Its social viewpoint is a hodge
podge. In the first act "the fame"
tells us she is against the car and
nobility, but also against the Commu-
mist government--"ag against all gov
ernment that breaches class hatred"
So the bourgeoisie is pictured as de-
generate, Bolshevik commissar as a
crook (but without whiskers for a
change), and the fame as a savior Of
"the people OF Russia" You'll recog-
nize "the people of Russia" as our
old friend "the public"
But the singing is something else
again. A Russian art choir of some
fifty voices is magnificent. All the
old Russian folk songs you've heard
are made beautiful by these people.

you will find it hard to do this-and
you will wink an eye at most Of it
because you will have heard that choir
and will have felt that this at least

sion.
The music is splendid. It carries
you along and follows you home. You
will hum "Fhe Song of the Flame"
and "the Cossack Love Song" and
whistle stray snatches of other tunes
that tantalizingly stay with you. To-
seph Urban made the scenery pretty
background for striking costume dis

romantic lover of the matinee type.

CHAPTER ~.
Conclusion.

DRIEF tho our study Of the history
~ of the catholic church in Mexico
has been, the conclusions to be drawn
from it are unacceptable.
The social basis OF the church has
been medieValism, peonage and domi-
nation by a bloated AMI futile land
owning aristocracy. AS an integral
part of this social order in the past
the church piled up great wealth for
itself, while it sought to maintain its
authority by inQuisitorial methods and
by keeping the masses of the people
in abysmal ignorance.

As religious institution the church
Is a purveyor Of gibbering superstition
for the mental enslavement of the
.rmagseS.c But we have seen that it is
ridiculous to speak of the Roman cath
Olic church in Mexico or anywhere
else as a religious institution. The
clerical organization seeks to per-
meate every phase Of economic and
political life. Defense of church privi-
leges on the grounds of religious toll
Grafton" is therefore entirely specious
even If the mere mention of tolera-
ton by the institution responsible for
the holy inQuisition were not In doubt
full taste.
AS a political institution the church
Is pillar of reaction. 1t has been ex-
posed as defender of feudal and
semi-feudal privileges, an irreconcila-
.ble enemy of Mexican progress, an ac-
complete OF the imperialist designs of
foreign capital.

The Record of History.

From the foregoing chapters the
reader will have noted that the history
of the Mexican people since the Span
ish conquest records three great for
ward movements:
ID The struggle for national indie
pendence QS1O-2D; (2) the great pro-
capitalist reform movement led by Be.
nito Juarez, eliminating in the reform
laws, the Constitution of 1857 and
the long-drawn-out combat with Maxi
mflian's foreign-implanted empire; CD
the Mexican revolution which began
in 1910, overthrowing the military
aristocratic dictatorship of Porfirio
Diaz, sweeping aside Victoriano
Huerta, gradually incorporating the
diverse demands of bourgeois demo
Gratis, land-hungry Indian peasants
and organized industrial workers in a
battle against native aristocracy and
foreign Imperialism.
What the role of Mexican catholi-
cism has been in each of these his
toric upheavals has been made clear
to us. In not one of them has the
church played part Of which 1t dares
TO boast today.
A consistent foe OF progress, the
church cannot lay claim to a share in
single of the great liberating tradi-
lions cherished by modern Mexico.
This is a terrible indictment OF any
institution. The history of the Mexi-
can people as whole supplies the
best touchstone for judging the his
tory OF the catholic church in Mexico
Where Is the Church To-day?
But the last word OF history has not
yet been written. At the present time

TRAVELLING THROUGH THE ETHER

Half of the Einstein theory is said to be knocked
out by experimental work done by an American seem
tist Irof Dayton Z. Miner OF Case SchooI OF Applleu
Science.
Einstein based his theorizing the original eX-
perinents OF this scientist MADE 70 years ago with
prof Morley of Western Reserve University, which
failed to show any drift OF the ether His latest OBJ
servations made with better equipment prove concu-
svey he says, that there is an ether drtt ana SHOWS
its extent. This is big news to thinking men.
he mann tact proved by Prof. Miller Is SIMPLY
this, which anyone can understand:
/ he ether space exists in spite of attempts
made to dIsprove it recent years. There Is some
such mysterious substance philosophers and sclen-
the whole universe in which all material things float
and and which the carrier OF light electricity
and other vbratory forces
But there is a modification of the theory. 1t used
to be said that if the ether existed, it perfectly
elastic" that all moving things passed through 1t
without friction, leaving the ether itself undsturbed
DR.. Miller finds that the earth IN its motion through
space, and presumably all other material things, drag
tne ether with them to some extent, wire screen
sweeping through water dragS some OF the water.
He proves this by the way our earths motion
through space bends from their straight light
waves from the stars and hastenS or retards
them according to their direction.
Many conclusions be drawn, of which these
are as interesting any:
The movement of solar system through space
is far greater than anyone has supposed The has
speed of II miles second with relation to the rest of
our universe but the whole universe itself is moving
120 miles second.
