EMMA GOLDMAN
TALKS LOVE
Eta) ma Goldman delivered tha first
lecture of a. series. In Portland, last
night at All sky halt Instead of waving
the red flag and upholding the use of
bomb, dagger and poison aa a panacea
for all the Ills, which vex mankind. Miss
Goldman this time confined herself to
the rather trite statement that marriage
is a failure. She preached the doctrine
of free love, or free union, declaring
that there ie no suoh thing as happi
ness after marriage. Emma Goldman
still wears the, '"Miss" before her name.
She asserted that marriage is Bimply a
woman'a Insurance, giving1 her a fiq'use
to live in, and foot and clothing, but no
home. When a woman marries her , In
dependence vanishes. . '
Tonight at Merrill's mll' Miss Gold
man will debate with Walter Thomas
Mills on "Anarchism Versus Socialism."
She has also expressed herself as will
ing to accept the challenge of John B.
Barnhill for a debate, provided it can
be arranged in 'time. She expects soon
to sail for Australia.
Tomorrow afternoon t ' Allsky hall
"The DevU Exonerated" will be the
anarchist's subject, and tomorrow night
she will lecture on the ''Psychology of
Violence," the lecture which her fol
lowers proudly state- will eventually
hang Miss , Goldman. : r---
