MARX PHILOSOPHY IS
THEME IN THE PULPIT
Pastor Preaches on Aims of
F : ounder of Modern Socialism
OAKLAND, Nov. 3.— Rev. Herbert A.
Jump, pastor of the First Congrega
tional church, spoke this evening on
the life and aims of Karl Marx, whom
he called "a philosopher of bread find
batter."
"He has offered to the world an In
terpretation of the economic order
quite as comprehensive as Darwin ever
offered for the biological order." said
the pastor.
"Moat philosophers have dealt with
the omnipotent God and how he Imparts
bia being to the world; Marx dealt with
common man and how he get-s his liv
ing seven days in the week. It must
be admitted that the latter line of in
quiry secures a larger and more inter
est >'d audience than the former. The
head of man goes out on Quests foj
truth, the heart of man on quests for
lore, and the will of man on quests Cor
selt-exp te—lon in action; but the stom
-01 man goes out on quests iVn ,
throe meats a day. or as close an ap
proximation to that ideal as is possible.
The millions that follow the loaf are
far more numerous than the thousands
lh.it follow the gl^ain.
"Marx was the thinker Who tried to
solve the problems of the poor man's
kitchen and the rich man's factory.
Hence Marx's writings are eagerly read
in Chins and Japan, in Australia, and
Scandinavia: there are Karl Marx clubs
in Africa; his principles are being daily
interpreted to millions in a score of dif
ferent tnngijps. It may he stated truth
fully that no single writer of the last
century is so widely, so earnestly, so
thoughtfully being studied by armies
of readers as this son of a German
Jewish lawyer."'
The speaker held that Karl Marx had
considered hut one side of the great
situation, namely the "bread and but
ter' , side, and that he ignored God in
his philosophy.
"In this," said Jump, "he was faulty."
'•Marx asserted the economic basis of
all history. He believed that questions
of bread and butter have been the de
terminers of all social evolution. They
done much, but they have not
done all that has been done. The stODI
- important but the human soul is
more important: and in the providence
of God there has entered continuously
into the ongoings of his world an ele
ment that is not the product of eco
nomic forces, ("all it the spiritual ele
ment or the element of human will, or
personality as you please, but. God has
let loose mighty spirits in tbe course of
the years who have not been created
by their ago, but who have created
their age or a new and better age.
There is a God side, to history as well
a« a bread and butter side. And even
in the lives of ordinary men there have
mighty momenta and stupendous
hours of vision or struggle or heroism,
that were producers much more than
they were product. The race has moved
forward like a great sailing ship. Im
pelled in part by currents in the water
where she floats, but also in part by
invisible wind currents in the heavens.
The spirit bloweth where it listeth.
Marx in his exaltation of economic, law
placed no value upon religion; therein
his interpretation of the universe is
faulty."

PEDAGOGUES PLACE
BAN ON RENO "RAG"
Dance Scandalizes faculty at
Ball Given by High Students
ALAMEDA, Nov. 3. —The Reno schot
tische, a medley of rollicking , rat; mu
sic, was ruled off the floor at Adelphian
hall last night during , a ball given by
the Alameda high school students,
complimentary to the members of the
Reno high school Rugby team, which
played here yesterday and. were de
feated.
The Reno rag was down on the pro
gram as an "extra." A number o< ihf
dance guests, including Alamedans, who
previously had shuffled their feet and
shifted thoi » shoulders to the fascinat
ing Nevada air, called for the innocent
looking schottisehe and the extra was
started after a few of the regular num
bers had been enjoyed.
The lights were turned low and with
the first strains of the dance from Reno
the floor was thronged with couples.
One of the staid members of the fac
ulty of the Alameda high school who
was present quickly discerned that the
dane« that Wjis listed as a schottisehe
was in reality a raggy rag and lie im
mediately called a halt. The peda
gogue informed the dancers that if
they desired to remain on the floor
they would have to eliminate ragging.
The order was obeyed and the ball
went on.
L.ast year at a ball given by Ala
meda high school students in Adelphlan
hall a rompany of the merry dancers
locked themselves in the banquet room
and proceeded to rag. When strict
chaperons and teachers learned what
was going on behind <losed doors they
were furious. Threats were made to
force thf door and eject the offenders.
Several of th<- dancers made their es
cape from the hall by dropping out of
windows to the ground.
