To the Kditor of The Journal A Portland daily that lends its front page Thanksgiving day I cartoon "-to erlticiam, of present day evils by comparison with 1621 would'- do well to make a fair comparison of conditions then and now. The "wholesome American tra ditions" lauded by the artist' might batter have been offset with soma of the traditions of those Puritanic days now quite obsolete. There might have been depicted as banging to the trees about this comely matron the bodies of women hanged as witches, while stand ing near might be the grinning cleri cal who sanctioned' it. These things actually were done by this Puritanic father whose spirit we are asked to emulate. Lower standards of morals have their source in what should be obsolete conditions. but which still prevail. Monopoly of, natural resources of our common necessities, that brings forth strikes and riots not to say military wars, should go the way of witch hang ing. It Is this Puritanic custom of private monopoly wholly acceptable when unoccupied resources abounded everywhere that is responsible for "lower standards of rndrals" if, in deed, such as they be. In this same train follows all that may be said against the divorce evil. Also, the moral and civil lawbreaker breaks the law be cause it is easier to break it than to keep it, under existing monopoly condi tions. -liet our social critics first adapt conditions to present human need, and lend their criticism later. Forget, that old "witch -shall not live" Bible in junction, given when superstition ruled the mind of man, and an "evil heart and desperately wicked' was his make upfor evidence abounds that it is not true today, nor ever was. Were this an actual fact the whole human race would have been wiped off the earth long ago, with our modern ' killing in ventions. In the great war, killers did not wish to kill. They fraternized across the trenches, and killed only when their monopoly-supporting war lords made them kill or be killed. The native Indian had much more humane tribal laws than we have today. mX.Mt, V..114 ittwuupuijr UhUli. UWn L monopoly OI OUT .
