Homage To Women.
K --
One of the proud boasts of
civilization is the considera
tion and respect accorded
women by men. Men instinc
tively feel that women are
frailer and of a more finely
organized nature than them
selves, and are entitled to
special consideration and def
erence at their hands. The
idea permeates song and sto
ry, but it did not spring up
with civilization. It can be
traced back to a remote pe
riod in the history of the
race. Savages, before the
dawn of civilization paid a
ho;tiage to women that was
true pure, not because
they were the weaker sex—
The sturdy oak and clinging
vine idea did not exist then
_but because they were the
mothers of the race. ItwTas
an instinct implanted in the
human make-up foi the pre
servation of the race.
; Bu' homage to women not
withstanding our boasts andJ
sentimental protestations
seems to be on the decline,
and in many cases dead alto
gether, killed by the greedy
commercial spirit of the age.
Witness for instance the
the recent scenes in Colora
do, Michigan and other pla
ces where American Cos
sacks, thugs, and gunmen
rode down, clubbed, bayonet
ed and shot helpless women
without mercy. The pariah
dog of Constantinople, the
jackal of the desert, the low
est of their species andj the
meanest of all creation, will
not maltreat the female of
their kind, but at the com
mand oi industrial masters
these uniformed and commis
sioned product s of civiliza
tion, who boast of their re
gard for womenkind, do not

hesitate to beat up, kill and

ing and defenceless women,
though in doing so they vio
late the laws of nature itself.
So while <hese things go on,
these barbarities against wo
man, who by nature is enti
tled to all ihe promotion and
safeguards that can be
thrown around hor, let us
cease laying claim to high
qualities and noble impulses
that we do not possess and
acknowledge that, al
though presumably cast in
the image of God, and having
had the advantages of centu
ries of the refining and soften
ing influences of civilization,
we are yet nevertheless in
some respects, below the sa
vage or even the wiidbcast.
Juneau lias raised a rmpus
because of hand-picked juries,
and has organized a “law and
older league” to put a stop to
the practice. Juneau shouldn’t
kick over the traces for a little
thing like that. Other places
have become so accustomed to
the habit that it lias ceaeed to
cause comment. In Fairbanks
Grand Jury specimens are some
times espei ially picked to do
the work of the gang, and after !
wards rewarded with Deputy-1
marahalsliips for their faithful
ness.
An old party lecturer said in
a speech recently that something
must be done to stop the spread
of Socialism. The question lias
sure got them going. The more
they try to stop it the more it
will grow. The workers are get
ting on to their bamboozling
guff, and so long as the machin
ery of production remains in
private hands, and a few who
toil not, reap all the benefit of its
operation except a measly exist
tence, dissatisfaction and rebel
lion in the ranks of the workers
will mount higher and higher,
and Socialism will grow and
grow.

j _ Petty Bourgeois Socialism |
► By Marx and Engele, >
l
From Communist Manifesto,
The feudal ar.Btociti *y was not
the only class that was ruined
hy llje bourgeoisie, not the only
class whose candi'ious of exist
ence pined and perished in the
atmosphere of modern bour
geois society. The medieval
burgesses and (he small peasant
bourgeoisie, were the precursors
of the modern bourgeosie. In
those countries which are but
little developed,industrially and
commercially, these two classes
still vegetate side by side with
the rising bourgeosie.
In countries where modern
civilization has become fuliy de
veloped, a new class of petty
bourgeois lias been formed, fluc
tuating between proletariat and
bourgeoisie, and ever renewing
itself as a supplementary part of I
bourgeois society. The individu
al members of this class, how
ever, are being constantly burl
ed down into the proletariat by
the action of competition, and
as modern industry develops,
they even see the moment ap
proaching when they will ■com
pletely disappear as an indepen
dent section of modern society,
to be replaced in manufactures,
agriculture and commerce, by
overlookers, baililfs and shop
men.
In countries like France, where
the peasants constitute far more
than half of the population, it
was natural that wri era who si
(led with the proletariat against
the bourgeoisie, should use, in
their criticism of the bourgeoisie
regime, the standard of the [ea
'ant and petty bourgeois, and
from the standpoint of these in
termediate classes should take
up the cudgels f(>r tlie working
class. l'hus arose petty bourgeois
Socialism. Sismondi was the
head of this school not only in
France but, also in England.
this school of Socialism dissec
ted with great acuteness the con
tradictions in the conditions of
modern production. h laid hare
the hypocril ical apologies 0f e
conomisis. It proved incontrover
tibly, the disastrous elfects of
machinery and division of labor,
the concentration of land and
capital in a lew hands; overpro
duction and crlgesjit pointed out
the inevitable ruin of the petty
hourgeois and peasant, the mis
ery of the proletariat, the anar
chy in produc'iontthe crying iue
(juaiities in the distribution of
wealth, the industrial war of ex
termination heHveen nations,the
dissolution of old moral bonds,
of the old nationalities.
In its positive a,ms, however,
this form of Socialism aspires
either to restoring the old means
oi production and ot exchange.,
and with them the old property
relations, and the old society, ot
to cramping the modern means
of production and of exchange,
with.n the framework of the old
property relations that have been
and were hound to be exploded
by those means. In either case i.e
is both reactionary & Utopian.
