10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1900. THE GOLDEN AGE OF (Copyright. 1000. by THE OREGONIAN'S HOME STUDY CIRCLE: GOLDEN AGES OF LITERATURE XI. SOCRATES. BY MAURICE FRANCIS EGAN. LL. D. If you read the "Clouds" of Aristophanes you -will And a caricature a very amusing one of tho philosopher Socrates. This comedy -was played 423 years before tho coming of Christ, and many translations have been made of It. In It Is presented the popular Impression of what Socrates -was. Aristophanes attacks the sophists In the "Clouds." and makes Socrates their representative. The truth is that Socrates was really the enemy of the sophists, who made It their business to teach young men how tc get on In life; their motto was that "the end justifies the means." They taught rhetoric as well as the methods of business; they were export In sharp practices, and aimed only for material .success. They called themselves philoso phers in the sense that they perfected the science of how to gain the advantages of material life, while leaving high moral ity out of the process. And they were philosophers who developed the art of try ing to make black appear white if it suited their purpose. Socrates was opposed to all this; he was a philosopher, for he loved wisdom and he sought to find laws that govern human minds by the examination 'of his own; but he was more a social re former than a philosopher. In B. C. 423 It ttos generally acknowledged that Athenian SBocIety needed reformation, and Aristoph anes was right in attributing much of Sthe degeneration to the immoral teaching tit the sophists. As a comic writer it faulted him to assume that all philosophers "Rrere sophists, and that Socrates, who Vas suspected of not believing in the 'puerile god of Greece, was tho chief of z-njcpsAFi jtraoYNivn.pQ r,oYTiooxroN - Socrates. them. As sophist had become a name for all teacher& of philosophy. Aristophanes 3iad some excuse for his thoughtless rail lery of the barefooted, carefully dressed and absent-minded Socrates. Socrates was born B. C. 4C8, at Athens, His father was Sophronlskus, a sculptor. It was said that he modeled a group of graces exhibited in the Acropolis. Dio genes tells us that while he worked w'th his father he ateo attended the lectures of the philosophers, Anaxagoras and Archelaus. So diligent and Interested was he that a rich Athenian, recognizing him in his father's shop, determined that a philosopher should not be lost in a carver cf images, and supplied him with money to pursue his studies. He did not live, however, above the earth, though he loved abstract speculation. He accepted his place as a citizen, and performed his du ties as a soldier admirably. He served in the Army of Potidaea (B. C. 432), and at Delium and Amphlbolus (B. C. 424). His fortitude under privation and his courage before danger were as marked as his loy alty and high purpose. "When his pupil, Xenophon, was In grav danger, he bore him In his arms from the field of battle. He married, as we know, though his wife, Xantlppe, may have suffered in popular estimation much in the same way as her husband did. She has become a type oi shrewish wives, as he was made a type of pretentious philosophers. Her side o! the story will never be heard. Socrates became more and more con vinced that he had a spiritual mission to fulfill. He believed that the Deity ppoke to him through the medium, of his genius, or daemon. He felt that this daemon di rected him unerringly; he was earnest and ;cincero, and he desired to influence society tiy bringing tho young to him. The great est of his pupils -were Plato, Xenophon and Alclbladcs. Ho was a teacher to those who were intimate with him, but his po sition waB that of a public lecturer to con Jstantly changing crowds rather than that lof a professor who delivered lectures, Bystcmatlcally arranged, to one set of otu fdeots. He was tho founder of no school, but his influence permeated many schools. (SVo know his teaching best through his rwondorful disciple, Plato, who represented ftho speculative ddo of his mind as Xeno phon, as Dr. Brown, in his excellent "His 'tory of Greek Classical Literature" eays, (Showed tho practical side. Tho satiro aimed at Socrates by Aris sjiopbaaes, in the "Clouds," had nothing o do with tho persecution of tho philoso pher by his political enemies. He was eupposed to beagainst democracy, although ho had been neutral in politics. The son f Pericles, executed by the state, had 'been his friend. Alclblade3 and Critios In 'jovators against the constitution of Solon wore beloved-by him. But when he had Interfered in politics it had been to save 4he shedding of innocent blood. He had refused to consent to the death of the younger Pericles; he did his utmost to save both Theramme and Leon of Salamls from tho fury of the mob. It was not strange that he was hated, for he never hesitated to tell unpleasant truths. He was satirical, therefore he "mocked the nation"; ho did not reverenco the old poets as sacred, therefore he corrupted the education of the youth of the nation. His enemies accused him and by a vote of 2S1 to 276 he was declared guilty. He might have bought his liberty for a heavy fine; he refused; nor would he violate the law by escaping. His apology, so elevated, dignified and manly. Is one of the master pieces in the literary records of the world. He drank tho hemlock and died a martyr to righteousness, needing only the light of Christian revelation to be a perfect ex ample to all coming ages. The Influence of Socrates resulted in the formation of fixed systems; it permeated the teachings of the stoics and cynics and the schools of Plato and Aristotle. As Plato was his pupil, so Aristotle was Pla to's, though they differed in many things. He was the first to Introduce the element of accuracy Into Investigation. He ln- sistea on definition and classification Every term in philosophy or ethics must be distinctly defined. He asked questions till ignorance grew weary and gave up the ghost. This unrelenting search for the essential meaning of a thing Is the basis of the Socratlc method of continuous ques tions. He found all previous attempts at philosophy vague and unsatisfactory. Socrates held that the soul is vital; that is has a mortal as well as an Immortal element, and that truth and morality are real. He accepts the existence of a su preme being without injury. The intellec tual part of the soul is a part of the supreme mind. Socrates held that knowl edge was virtue; and that no man wou'd willingly remain Ignorant if he knew that ignorance was wrong or that ignorance ft ii GRECIAN LITERATURE Seymour Eaton.) DIRECTED BY PROF. SEYMOUR EATON kept him from knowing what was right. To perfect the intellect, to know, was the aim of life. Aristotle, later, refuted this doctrine, which Socrates had never clearly explained. To Socrates ethics and the study of humanity were much above tho study of the physical sciences. The teaching of Socrates influenced not only the systematic scholastics of the Roman Emp ra, but the great system of St. Thomas Aquinas and Duns Scotus. Aris totle's philosophy was practically adopted by St. Thomas Aquinas, and the tendency of the best thinkers of the Middle Ages to put moral and ethical questions first was influenced from Socrates. The Cyre naic school of Arlstippus, which held that present pleasure was the end of life, was the offspring of those Socratlc theories which were dangerous because Socrates had not sufficiently explained or developed them. Tho school of the cynics was founded by another pupil of Socrates, whoso nanfe wm Antlsternes. His school combated the tenets of Arlstippus; his teaching was ethical and generally com posed of objections. He asserted firmly, against tho opinions .of his time, that there was one God without an earthly body. The study of tho life and, lessons of Socrates, especially as presented by Plato and here let me recommend all Professor Jowett's translations cannot fail to broad en the mind and make one more in love with "divlno philosophy;" Catholic University of America. HADLEY ON TRUSTS. Povsner Will Always Be Ccntrallrcd in a Few. NEW HAVEN, Conn., March ZL Presi dent Hadley, of Tale, a leading American authority on railroads, speaking last night on public control of industrial ac tivity, said: "Tho growth of large corporations, and the increasing consolidation of capital in every form of Industrial enterprises, has brought to tho front now as never before that part of tho question of Socialism which relates to the relations between government and Industrial enterprise. "Whatever system is adopted, the manage ment will be in the hands of the few. It is necessary for the successful con duct of modern Industry that it should be managed in this way. These few men in whom power Is centralized are likely to be tho same, whether the Industry is held in the name of a private corpora tion or in the name of the community. Tho same qualities which command suc cess In business tend to command suc cess in politics also. "Much of the complaint with regard to the effect of the money power in politics is but a confession of tho inevltableness of this fact. It is sometimes said that state railroads will not have to pay the profits that are now distribued by pri vate railroads. But what does this mean? The state gets the railroads for nothing? No. It must borrow money to pay for them. Tho attempt to confiscate them without pay would not only be unconsti tutional, but would be destructive of all social order. On the money thus borrowed it must pay Interest. "The railroads of the country at pres ent, taking good years and bad years to gether, are probably not earning more than 3 per cent. Should the Govern ment therefore borrow money at 3 per cent, it would simply mean that the same amount of money would be distrib uted by Government agents to holders of Government stocks and bonds. "A large part of the difficulty about trusts at the present day lies In tho fact that we are trying to carry Into an ago of combination tho morals and tho law developed in a time of free competition. Wo leave the producer freo to moke what prices he likes, because we assume that a failure to do so will evoke a competi tor. In some cases this process Is so slow that some or all of the consumers are ruined before the cure has tlmo to work Itself out." IB SBARETTI'S UNPOPULARITY. Gomez Protests Agralnst His Contin uance in the Bishopric. HAVANA, March 2L General Maximo Gomez has addressed to the committee which recently waited upon the Bishop of Havana, Mgr. Sbaretti, a protest against his continuance in tho Bishopric In the course of the letter, he says the committee ought not to have called upon the Bishop, but should have summoned him before them to hear the result of "his own obstinacy and that of the peo ple." General Gomez goes on to say: "Mcr. Sbaretti is not the Just man I had previously believed him to be, for if he were, ho would not disturb a country so desolated by war troubles by Insisting upon remaining as the head of the dio cese of Havana, Cubans must not forget that the Pope blessed the armies of Wey ler. The Pope and Mgr. Sbaretti will be responsible for the schism which will be produced in Cuba. If I were alone in the protest, I would climb to the highest peak in Cuba and cry, 'Begone, foreign usurpa tion.' " On tho other hand, a committee is being formed to protest against the action of the so-called Popular Committee, which waited upon Mgr. Sbaretti. The organ izers of the new committee have obtained a large number of signatures to an ad dress that will be presented to the Bishop assuring him that the Popular Committee does not represent the Cuban people or the Cuban army. B Tlie Deacon's Dream. Detroit Free Press. "May you take this lesson homo with you tonight, dear friends," concluded the preacher at the end of a very long and wearisome sermon. "And may its spirit ual truths sink deep into your hearts and lives., to the end that your souls may ex perience salvation. We will now bow our heads In prayer. Deacon 'White, will you lead?" There was no response. "Deacon White." this tlmo in a louder voice. "Deacon White, will you lead?" SUU no response. It was evident that the deacon was slumbering. The preacher made a third appeal and raised his volca to a pitch that succeeded In waklnjr the drowsy man. "Deacon White, will you please lead?" The deacon rubbed his eyes and opened them wonderingly. "Is it my deal? No I Just dealt." i i Democratic Convention Rates. Kansas City Star. In speaking of $5 hotel rates during the National Democratic convention in Kan sas City, It is supposed to be understood that this refers to accommodations such as the President of the United States, rich lobbyists, ladles from New Tqrk ac companied by maids, star actors and other plutocrats are accustomed to and demands It Includes velvet carpets, brass bea steads. silver candle-sticks, with red silk shades on the dining-room tables, meats served in a manner which might satisfy the crowned heads of Europe, pure cream In coffee, cut glass, silverware, the ban ishment of flies, electric fans and all that There will be plenty of hotel accommoda tions of a plain character at the regular rates of from ?1 a day with flies, to $2 to ?3 a day without .flies. i a ImncrlnliKm In a Finnic. New York Evening Post, It is a sure instinct which leads disgust ed Republicans to fix the greater part o; the blame for their unhappy plight upon the President. Vacillating leade-ffhip means a rent and dissevered following. Mr. McKInley can execute his right-abouts with the ease of long practice, but hl3 army necessarily straggZes in the opera tion. Lord Charles Beresford once neat ly returned a left-handed compliment. A trimming politician was congratulating him on a recent speech: "Capital speech, that of yours, Beresford very good speech Indeed but you don't look like a states man." "I dare say not," replied the bluff sailor, "but no more do you look like a weathercock."

Iianrier Announces That It Will Re assemble. CHICAGO, March 2L A special to the Tribune from Ottawa says: In the House of Commons today Sir Wil frid Laurier, in reply to a question by Sir Charles Tupper, made the announcement that the Anglo-American Joint High Com mission would reassemble at a date to be given out shortly, and that possibly Otta wa would be the scene of the conference. Tho Premier added that he hoped in a few days to state the position of the vari ous protocols. WASHINGTON, March 2L There is nothing obtainable from the State Depart ment that would throw light upon the rather peculiar declaration of the Canadian Premier that the High Joint Commission would reassemble. So far aa can be learned there has been no recent ex changes between the two Governments. Christianity in Combat. New Tork Sun. Dr. Briggs, Dr. McGlffert and all their school of. Biblical critics profess even greater veneration for Christianity than they had before they assailed Its author itative and dogmatic foundation; but none the less they have set out to de stroy all the evidence on which its super natural claims are based. Men will not believe that a book is the special word of God when they are taught to distrust it as full of human error and limited by the capacity of the human mind to discov er truth; when they aro told by scholars in whoso authority they repose confidence that the documents of which it Is com posed aro of doubtful authenticity or authorship.

FOR A BEET SUGAR MILL MOVE3IENT AT XUWDERG HAS TAKES DEFINITE SHAPE. Fifty Acres for a Site and Guaranty of 0000 Acres of Beets Will Get the Plant. NEWBERG, Or., March 2L New life was infused in the beet-sugar movement at Ncwberg by the arrival yesterday of Dr. Karl G. Kom and Thomas N. Case, of Dayton, O., and TJ. Zeitfuchs, of Port land. These gentlemen spent the day in examining the proposed site for the plant on the river and In driving over the sur rounding country- .In the evening an en thusiastic meeting was held, when Dr. Kom said that they had spent consider able time in traveling over the valley, ex amining different locations, and they had now arrived at the conclusion that New- "berg had more advantages favorable to a beet-sugar plant than any other town they had visited, and that the company they represented was now ready to make a definite proposition to the people of New berg. They only asked that a site of 30 acres, either one of two that have been named, be donated, and a guarantee of 5009 acres of beets be made. The time given for Ncwberg to comply with the conditions is July 1, and the company agrees to begin work August L In answer to the statement published by Profes&or Shaw, of the Oregon State Agri cultural College, to the effect that the growing of beets would not prove profit able In the Willamette Valley, owing to the early fall rains, Dr. Korn said there were 23 varieties of sugar beets; that some matured In 100 das, some in 120, and others in 150 days, and he had no fears on this score. The crop, he said, could bo hauled a distance of 12 miles very profitably, and shipped "by rail 50 miles to tho factory Enthusiastic speeches were made by George C. Sears, Hon. Clarence Butt and others, favoring active work on the part of the peoplo for meeting the conditions proposed. D. Soils Cohen, of Portland, was named by Dr. Kom as the attorney who had been instructed to enter Into an agreement for carrying out the proposi tion, and a meeting was arranged for Thursday night, when the citizens of New berg will effect a permanent organization, and get to work in earnest to secure tho plant LARGE LAXD TRANSFER. Pcnnsylvnnlnn Bays 403-1 Acres In Tillamook for 810,027. TILLAMOOK. Or., March 20. A deed has been recorded here conveying to John E. DuBois, of Pennsylvania, various tracts of land in Tillamook County, con taining 4931 acres, for $10,927. Justice T. H. Goyne returned this after noon from holding an inquest, on tho body of John Daall, a native of Germany, and aged about 43 years, who fell from a boat In the north fork of the Nehalem River Sunday and was drowned. He had been drinking, and after shoving the boat off Into the river, he was seen to throw some parcels in the stern of the boat, and then he fell overboard. Before assistance could reach him he sank. The Jury returned a verdict that deceased came to his death by accidental drpwnlng while under the Influence of intoxicating liquor.
