Great resources have allowed the ambitious toget ahead. and poor tactics followedby the leaders in socialism have retarded the progress of the socialistpart.',Capitalism Exploits Labor."Socialism is the child of capitalism," said the speaker in reviewingthe conditions that have made socialism possible. "The gradual supplanting of small scale by large scale production and the consequent transformation in the methods of conducting business enterprises have resultedin a division of society into two hostile factions. Capitalism has provedto be an economic and political failure. The impoverished condition ofthe laboring classes is in large measure due to the efforts of capitalismto produce large dividends to satisfystockholders.Does Not Regard Lives."Capitalism:' continued :\[r.

Gorsuch of the public speaking department, who hascharge of the finals this Quarter, "wehave decided to offer the prize. originally intended for the women to themen. Thus two rewards are offered,each consisting of a scholarship forone quarter." "This is the first year that we haveever had a Freshman water poloteam," said Coach Knudson in speaking of the prospects of the twosquads. In former years there havenever been enough men trying out tomake up a team. Last year we onlyhad two men. The Freshmen willgive the Varsity good practice fortheir games. The swimming teamlooks as if it will be the best we havehad since 1907. It is very likely thatnumerals will be awarded to thePROFESSOR P. H.

Boy ton of theEnglish department delivered a lecture yesterday afternoon on the parallel development of romance in music and literature in the eighteenthand early nineteenth centuries. Clarence H. Hamilton, '10. assisted thelecturer with piano selections illustrating the various points of the address. He played selections fromfive composers roughtly parallel to. certain typical authors.The first composer was AlessandroScarlatti. whose dates correspond tothose of Addison. His work was described by Professor Boynton ascharacterized by regularity. rigoroussimplicity and lack . of body. Thenext was Haydn, who was comparedto Thompson. whose "Seasons" furnish the inspiration for Haydn's oratorio of the same name. His workwas sofid, regular. but rarely profound. graceful and even emotional.but within well defined limits.:\Iozart was the third composer andwas described as bearing the same relation to Scarlatti that Goldsmithdocs to Pope. He is .more flexible intone and expresses more feeling thanhis predecessors, but Seems to he sentimental at times rather than emotional. Tn connection with :\Iozart. someof the work of Beethoven was presented. He parallels Wordworth.The most noticeable parts of hiswork arc the strong harmony and therich base tones.The progrnrn was concluded by twoselections from Wagner. who in hisexpress ion of personality is comparahlc to Browning. Carlisle. Whitmanand other moderns. :l�ike them hehas arom-ed strong opposition .tOdhas been hitterly denounced by hiscontemporaries. The lecture wasopen to Professor Boynton's class inEnglish literature and to a number ofothers who are interested in the subject. Initiation Said to Be Coming Friday,but No One Will SayPositively.Although the date of the Dramaticclub initiation has not yet been announced, there has been a rumor tothe effect that it is to be held in theReynolds club theater on Friday evening. Those in charge state that noformal decision to this effect hasbeen reached, It is regarded as improbable that the affairs will be heldthis coming Friday. as a Reynoldsclub smoker is scheduled for that particular date.The initiates are hard at work ontheir play. As the play is supposedto be kept a profound secret until themoment of its production. nothingdefinite can be learned about it at thepresent time. The members of thecast refuse to say anything on thesubject except that they feel that thetime of preparation allotted to themis exceedingly short. The first rehearsal was held yesterday evening,and others will he arranged for atevery available moment from now onuntil the time of production.NEW COUNCIL MEETS TODAYSenior Representatives to Gather inDean Angell's Office This Morning.The first meeting- of the recentlyappointed Senior council will takeplace this monrinz at half past 10o'clock in the office of the Seniordean.

At that time he will giveout a schedule of the practice up tothe first of the year and divide themen up into practice squads. Therest of the Friday session will be given over to discussion of the rules andreal work will not begin until Monday."The reason that we are beginningas early as this," said Dr. Raycroftyesterday. "is that there is dangerthat the men will fall into bad habitsif their work is not carefully supervised. This was true last year, andwe want to counteract it this season.The object of the drill up to the firstof the year will be more to keep theboys out of poor form than to teachthem anything new."It is expected that the meetingFriday will be welt attended, as thereare a large number of men trying outfor places on both teams.

They are silent whena mild, reasonable tone might disarmprejudice and they are gratuitouslyaggressive on what they know to bethe wrong side."Still another newspaper vice whichdisgusts readers of sense and rightfeeling is noisy self-laudation and selfadvertisement. A self-respectingnewspaper is entitled to credit forreal leadership, for help in good causes, for honest service. and there isnothing wrong In an occasional and'relevant reminder of past service or'i.n an expression of legitimate satisfaction wth one's record, But thereare newspapers-happily this numberis diminishing-which wildly magnifysmall or even imaginary achievemerits, which increasingly boast oftheir power and greatness. which initiate nine-day 'crusades' in order tocreate talk abont themselves amongthe superficial, which misrepresentsituations for the sake of cheap originality. Such newspapers do not inthe least' care which side they fighton; all they seek is notoriety and revenue. They may at times, appear tobe working for righteousness. bottheir influence is pernicious on thewhole. They delight in confusion andwould create Bedlam all around them.Real progress is the result of honestand efficient service. and crazy sensationalism only hinders and demoralizes."ESTABLISHED 1877L.
