T h at is why socialism Is one of the great evils threatening our na- K t V . DE. U lLXtS . tiou to d ay . It» growing strength Is uot lo be despised. It has elected four .Mayors In New E n gland and unless a check is put upon it It will elect forty In th e n ear future. It is a trust w hich paralyzes the Indi vidual fa r more thau the other tru sts which weigh against th e cou ntry's interests. It divides up until w hat Is par celed out is unsatisfactory to all wSo have a sh are iu the division. Suppose there are forty houses In a block, and Instead o f each mau owning one for him self and keeping It lu ord er each mau owns oue-fortleih o f the house he lives lu aud one-fortieth of each of the others. W ill he care as much if the stoops are swept off on a snowy uiorniug, and w ill he keep the back yards in as good order as if It w as liis own house? Every m an's home Is Ills castle. He has given his promise to one woman and she has sw orn fealty to him. B u t suppose socialism steps into plan th is home accord ing to its rules. Do you believe that th eir children w ill be better if reared by nurses appointed by the State, as socialism decrees? Socialism in other dom ains would I k * ju s t as objectionable. Subm erge the individual In tlie Sta te, ns socialism o r dains. and you destroy dom estic in stitu tion s—«title the life blood o f the nation. B e tte r let every man bear his burden and in Ids purpose to succeed he w ill do far more for the world thau if he were a mere atom in a great industrial creation. COMMERCIALIZED MARRIAGE. B t I l i a T u p p c - Va y n e r j . “ I f a man has got enough ahead to go to a hos pital when he is sick he is a fool to get m arried.“ said a man who had learned wisdom from ex p eri ence. Most men would, w iiuout being sure o f the hospital, leave them selves even in sickness to the m ercy o f th e landlady rath er thau m arry, if they believed th at the woman w as taking a c count of stock iu this business like fashion. It is a m arvelous thing th a t sentim ent holds Its own a t a ll in the face o f the trem endous pressure put upon it to su rrend er to financial expediency. Vet It docs hold Its own to an exten t which m akes this cold-blooded slander largely uncalled for. Com m ercial m arriages exist, they are not u m atter o f course. Among the p arnske class o f women, the idle, helpless daughters o f w ealthy or burdened daughters o f w ealthy or burdened men. only good fortune can save a woman from thinking o f m arriage as a change o f bankers (. v*£by/h m ust be prudently considered. T hank heaven all women are not parasites. T he m a jo ri ty o f husbands are poor men on an income so sm all th at th e women who m arry them will not be unduly tempted t>y dazzling perquisites. T h e “ home” m ay tempt, but It will be the sentim ent o f home and not its upholstery. The op portunity to work hard for board and clothes would t>e A vailable w ithout selling oneself fo r the privilege. T h e shoe o f ex istin g Industry pinches chiefly for the poor in the u ncertainty o f continued em ployment, and hence am ong the more prudent sentim ent and m arriage som etim es are denied for conscience sake. W h atev er the station In life , the com m ercial side o f m arriage sooner or late m akes its appearance, no m atter how the individual may seek to free him self or h erself from it. T h e Independent w orking woman Is the g reatest s a fe guard ag ain st the m ercenary m arriage. I f w oman's modern ’ -, , - -t- activ ity docs nothing more than save tunny of them from m arrying for a home. It lias a redeeming lufluence. If all women had much to sacrifico or interrupt by m arriage It would, tu a largì* m easure, protect men from being ch o se* as a kind o f burgnlu sale endow m ent |»>lley. T here Is no danger that ally “ca reer” or nmhltloii wilt tem pt a woman to refu se th e home call If she Is u normal woman, aud If she Is uot. society Is the gainer and the tuna Interested fortu n ate )>ccnuao o f her refu sal. W here uo In centive draw s tow ard m arriage excep t those Inherent la nature and the litiiuan soul, there will I h * few misfits. T h ere will never I k * Ideal m arriages until women, and meli as well, may feel ce rta in that work Is assured for short hours at any tim e it Is desired or all the time, at a gener ous wage. Then the question o f home and children will becom e the disi Interested personal question It should ba. and never vitiated by sordid m otives or painful, trapelasi boudage. THE GUM-CHEWING HA3IT.
