Wright resigned and left the first of March to accept the call to the pastorate of Gethsemane Bap- tist church in Philadelphia. The church meeting on Thursday evening was one specially’ called to hear the report of the committee ap- pointed to secure a new pastor and it had an attendance which took all REV. JOEL B.

Isaacs of Columbus, Ohio, where the candidate presented before the Central church had also had a pastorate. In general, Rev. Mr. Slocum was referred to as a strong and con- vincing preacher, of marked sincerity and consecration, a charming and sym- pathetic pastor and an energetic and | capable leader. James L. Case also spoke briefly, when Mr. Palmer had concluded his report, and Judge Lucius Brown spoke upon ‘the advisability of giving :he candidate whose name might be sug- gested a substantially unanimous call.

Miss Florence ‘Wattles of Kokomo, Ind, who is making a tour of the | state, gave an interesting address on | Somé korces That Make ror Socialism | at a meeting held under the auspices of the Norwich local of the socialist party Thureday evening in Pythian hall. ¥red Holdsworth was chairman and | in opening the meeting mentioned the week's suffrage - campaign recently concluded in this city and sald that the campaign had been welcomed by the socailists, who felt the real need of votes for women. He told of two trips which he made to Hartford to speak beiore the committee having in hand the a4-hour bill, and said he war greatly surprised at the little attention given the speakers. The members of the commitice, he said, had apparently made up their minds before the hear- ing to do as the lawyers representing the manufacturers and mercantile men desired, and the committee will prob- ably réport a os-hour bill for manu- factorties and a 5S8-hour bill for mer- cantile establishments. The present legislature is the most reactionary, said Mr. Holdsworth, of any legisia- ture Connecticut ever had, and I don't believe the people will get what they want uptil they get a few socialists there, Tremendous Forces at Work. He then presented Miss Wattles, who spoke in part as follows All of you are aware of the tre- mendous forces at work in the political and economic life of America. Unrest and dissatisfaction are universal, and we are rapldly sweeping along tow ards the time of great change. There are destructive and constructive forces at work, and not the least of the latter is soclaiism. This is a nation born of intense individualism, inspired by po- litical and religious’ freedom. Onl: the strong and the brave came to these shores in the early days. They hoped to found a land of opportunity, where every man could live the high- est and finest life, and there was something magnificent in the individ- ualism which inspired the early set- tlers. America was a wonderful land of opportunity and abundance for all. This spirit of individualism was des- tined to find its highest plane in the There were no great political and economic problems in those early days. 1f a man was un- able to succeed in the east he knew beyond the Alleghanies lay a land of promise and _opportunity where there was an abundance for all. The struggle for weaith rapidly de- veloped into a get-all keep-all scram- ble for the dollar. We hold up the successful business man as the idol of the nation, the model for all, and set ourselves to the task of doing the other fellow. We set out to win and if we couldn’t win leghtimately—well, we would win anyw The gambling spirit crept in and the first rule of gambling is that few win and many lose. We are seeing the finish of the game. The most reckless gamblers won; grabbed natural resources of the country, impoverishing the little gam- blers. ~ Mr. Roosevelt has voiced the cry of the little man against the trust and stands today for a chance for the little man, who realizes that he is the prize for which the bix men play. Thus business 1s centralized in_ the control of a half dozen men who have won in Here {s & problem which vitally affects the lives of 93 millions of people. Every one in the country has a real Interest in it. The neceseities of life are in the hands of a few men. and how we solve this problem of bread in America is of vital interest to all. Five Attitudes at Washington. There are five attitudes at Washing- ton. There are those like Uncle Joe Cannon, who believe in_letting the trusts alone; those like Taft, who be- lieve in enforcing the Sherman anti- trust iaw as long as we have it; Wil= son and the democrats, who would progress backward and would destroy the trusts and start the business com- petition over again; the progressives, who favor regulation of the trusts by a commission; finally, the sociallsts, who would nof destroy that which has been €0 well built, but who favor col- lective ownership of the trusts. The solution of the trust problem is of Vital interest to all who call them- selves _American citizens. Perhaps some of you don't know how it feels to realize that you must work to live and that if you lose the job your very life is lost Little Manufacturers Losing. The little manufacturers are losing out day after day. and the process of centralization is going towards the climax where one man will control the business of the world. The busi- ness of this country is now between two groups, the Morgan and Rockefel- ler. According to the results of the investigation of the money trust by the Washington commission three men control the money of the world. If three men control all the money then who is not interested in this problem? A financial panic is predicted for the next year and how many little busi- ness men and manufacturers do you think will live through The great American individualism has produced a handful of winners, but you are not i in that handful; you're on the great outside. The children are taught that this is the land of the free, the land of opportunity, where work and perse- verance win guccess, but they do not go out into the great world for long before they find that the door of op- portunity is closed to them. The voung man is told that he, t0o, can wring success from the world. but he gets so far and bumps against the men who have succeeded. How much chance has he got? A Constructive Force. Socialism the only constructive force in the country today; all others would check or destroy. We propose to use our political power to secure the ownership of these corporations. Even now cities are seething in revolution and we socialists have a job before us. Let us work, as never before, for the socialist party is the hope of Amerl- ca today. When we are in power we take over the oil business of Rockefeller. and the 75 millions of dol- lars profit each vear will go to the people. We would not strip these men in their old age. We appreciate their wonderful organizations and feel that they have done us a real service. This is our salvation. Miss Wattles concluded by answer- ent. She ing questions for those pri is to speak at Jewett City tonight and at Rose alley Saturday night. AT THE AUDITORIUM. Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.
