We never could understand why it was that books written with a clear understanding of Socialism were generally hard reading, while most of the books in easy, popular style were full of small-capitalist notions that made their propaganda value doubtful. We always believed some one some time would write a readable book giving what proletarians "straight goods." James Connolly has done it. call the Socialism Made Easy is a straight talk to wage-workers that will do more to start them at clear thinking than any other book we know of. It sticks to plain concrete facts, and does not teach things that must be unlearned later on. Paper, 10c.; to stockholders 6c., postpaid. LESSON OUTLINES IN THE ECONOMIC INTERPRETATION OF HISTORY, by Lida Parce, is a series of systematic lessons which will be of great assistance to inexperienced teachers who wish to present the fundamental ideas of socialism to young people. The first lessons in this course deal with primitive man. If Mrs. Parce's book, along with Morgan's Ancient Society and Engels' Origin of the Family, can be put into the hands of a teacher, and the children are given the Stories of the Cave People which start in this month's Review, excellent work can be done. We will mail Mrs. Parce's "Outlines" to any address for 25c or to a stockholder for 15c. A GREAT WORK NEARLY COMPLETED. Marx's Capital complete has been in the possession of German socialists for many years, and the first volume was translated into English long ago and has passed through many editions. The second volume could not be had until two years ago, when we published a translation by Ernest Untermann. Two thousand copies have been sold, and a new edition is ready. Mr. Untermann has finished a translation of the third and largest volume, over 1,000 octavo pages, and the final proofs are now being corrected. We now expect to publish the volume during May. The labor of translation has been paid for through the generosity of Eugene Dietzgen, and we are thus enabled to publish at $2.00 a volume, with our usual discount to stockholders, a work which would ordinarily have to be sold at $5.00 a volume. SPECIAL OFFER. We must raise two thousand dollars within the next few weeks to pay the bill for printing this third volume. It is also a matter of urgent necessity to add several thousand names to the mailing list of the Review at once. We do not need to make a profit, for we have no dividends to pay.

The movement of the story is swift enough to satisfy the most eager reader, and its materials are handled with unusual power.-Buffalo Evening News. The "simple annals of the poor" as pictured in Mary E. Marcy's "Out of the Dump" are terrible annals. The book is a voice from the depths. Its outlook is from the viewpoint of the very poor. It is a protest that poverty is not understood, and that organized charity goes about its problem in the wrong way. On its face, it is written with full and intimate knowledge.-Chicago Inter Ocean. . Socialist reasoning must fall like constant drops of water on the stultified feelings of those not with us. Mary E. Marcy has contributed a fair share of this wearing-away material in the pages of her little book, "Out of the Dump. She has shown how the victims of the Chicago slums tarry on earth in disease and poverty till death becomes kind enough to relieve them from the capitalist clutches. But she does more than that; she gives hints of the remedy which, if followed out, must lead to the cure-Socialism. -New York Evening Call.

The cartoon on this page was drawn for "The Socialist" of Seattle, and is reprinted from a recent issue of that paper. To it are appended the following lines from a poem we first saw going the rounds of the press two or three years ago. We do not know the name of the author, so can not give credit: "He Built the Road. "With others of his class he built the road. "Now o'er it, many a mile, he packs his load, "Chasing a JOB, spurred on by Hunger's goad. "He walks, and walks, and walks, and walks, and walks, An Analysis and Synthesis of the Phenomena of Nature, Life, Mind and Society Through the Law of Repetition A SYSTEM OF MONISTIC PHILOSOPHY By Charles Kendall Franklin "I would rather write a refutation than an endorsement of this book, yet it is commended to students of Sociology and Theology because it is a very scholarly voicing of all that more or less widely spread latent and militant disaffection with and opposition to the present social order, with its established and generally accepted rights of property and orthodox standards of religion. Every paragraph is a challenge to precedents, and provocative of thought."The Christian Philanthropist. "In one respect Mr. Franklin has the advantage over writers like M. Tarde or Prof. Lester F. Ward, who have treated of the same questions with far greater scientific precision, in that he is committed to a definite program of social reform, the basis of which is to be found in this book."-The Independent. "The investigation is conducted with such broad-minded liberality that the deductions sometimes seem almost shocking, as is the case in the treatment of theology. A system of monistic philosophy, such as this is, is founded upon a naturalistic conception of things; that is, all things are due to natural causes, and we ascribe certain things to supernatural agencies only because of our ignorance, and our inability to comprehend their real origin. The argument of the book may be summed up in a few words. Under the individualistic system, men work at cross-purposes, and much energy is wasted. This is caused by lack of understanding and of an intelligent foresight. Energy will seek the line of least resistance, and in time, when men become more social, it will be seen that there is least resistance when men work in harmony for the good of all. Thus will come about the so Individualism cialization of humanity. has proved its inability to perfect man, although it has greatly aided. The time has now come when a new system must displace it a new system based upon a desire to aid society, rather than the individual. Theology, also, is outgrown, the time for superstitious worship of unknown, unmanifested idea has passed. We can, if we search with an unprejudiced mind, find the natural cause of everything-why be blindly, wilfully ig norant, just because our ancestors were? They ascribed thunder and other phenomena to their God, but we pity their superstition. We ascribe to God the origin of life-but if we look, we can not fail to find the answer in Nature. The volume abounds with definitions, making it extremely easy to follow the thought. Deep thought and honest purpose are manifest in this work, and however one may look upon the conclusions, it must be admitted that they are logically and fearlessly reached."-The Craftsman. "The writer's style is eloquent, his absolute sincerity manifest, and his book will be of immense service to those who have realized the inadequacy of conventional religion and philosophy to explain the facts of life, and who wish to examine vital questions from the viewpoint of modern science."-The FreeLance. "The leading idea of your book seems to me to be correct and original and you may number me among your followers." -Prof. Jacques Loeb. "As a philosopher, Mr. Franklin is practical, as socialist he is philosophical. It is the first time that philosophy and socialism have joined hands."-Boston Transcript. Cloth, octavo, 480 pages, $2.00 postpaid. To stockholders, $1.20 postpaid, or we will mail the book as a premium to any one sending us $2.00 with the names of two NEW subscribers to the Review.
