Prof. Herron Predicts Revolution.

Prof. George D. Herron of the Chair of Applied Christianity, lowa college, whom Rev. C. O. Brown calls an anarchist, has returned from southern California, where he h'as been for some time. “I believe that the people, that is, the people as a whole, between the very rich and the very poor,” said Dr. Herron, “are conscious that there must be a change in tire social order. They are ready for it, If a plan can be put before them. The Christian conscience is awakening. I look for some radical changes to be begun in the next five or ten years. There will in that time, I believe, be a great political revolution looking toward the government ownership of all monopolies, including the great transportation lines, and the blotting out of the various forms of oppression now existing by the power of the rich. This, in my judgment, is coming as certainly as came the abolition of slavery.”
