By Joseph We ought to state, as a positive f.ct,i that we do not learn nearly enough from our opponents. Not that \ve’ should let ourselves be converted; far | from it. This is not a plea for blind- | ness. What we mean is, that we doi not listen to our opponents with the same attention we expect when Wei plead our own cause. The consequence is, we miss many a chance to upset the! ideas of our very good friends, the enemy. l For example, the antimuﬂ'ra'gistl tell us that woman's place is in the home. We answer them that modern civilization cannot be foreed back into the lome, and until it is woman’s place is also out of the home. But there is a deal more to this' question than the simple answer usual- | Iy given. ! I woman's place is in the home, it | must be in the Kind of home she lmwl has. It cannot be in the Kind of home ! that exists, with almost rare excep tions, only in the faded lithograph in al workingman’s kitchen, ‘ Where is woman’s home to-day? ! How many hundreds of thousands— | shall we say millions*—of working wo-| men, who have no homes but rooms in | lodging or hoarding houses. Is tlwrc" any sensible person, is there any of our opponents, who would claim wmnan* should be nowhere but in a hired room? Is there no place for woman but that? Then, again, take the case of the six to eight million women working for a living. Some of these are married are mothers—and help the fathers eke out that not overly luxurious life which the general standard of wages pay for, Would anyone seriously maintain that these mothers should have no say in the conduct of affairs they are bothered with during the whole of daylight - IF IT BE TRUE The charge is made by a considera ble number of people that the Ameri can flag now protects things that onght not to be. If this charge is false, no considerable number of people is likely to be deceived. 1f the charge is true no time should be lost in removing the cause. The noisy mouthings of dema gogues are disagreeable, it is true. But so is a boil. And it would be as unwise to suppress the demagogues by violence, without removing the injust ice complained of, as to heal the boil without first purifying the blood.—The Public. —_— : I THE HINDERERS. | By Ida Whipple Benham, ! Welre careful souls, we're very earcfud | souls; Our touch is velvet and our step is down; ‘ Our speech is honey served in !niut'-cl; bowls; ] We smile, but never frown, Were very eareful souls ~why ﬂlmllld! we wait ? Careless of shelter till the tempest | pours? * Whatever task delays without the gate, We hide us safe indoors, ‘ “Hush,” s our watchword, whispeved under breath; Our motto this: “Let well enougl alone!” We burrow, dim with dust, nor wait for death v To hide us neath its stone, There are who lift their faces to the Ky, Sun-fronted, sun-illumined, strong of hand; We tremble as their earnest ranks vo by To labor in the land. They sow, they reap, they do, oy even dare! We hinder cautionsly, not over-much, Layving a hand on Progress here and there To thwart her with a touch. We're very careful souls; we would not see This venerable order pass away; | The hoary past is what it used to bv--! A pattern for to-day. Yet, should the loud reformer chance to win, And should the world at last by him be led, We careful souls would hold it then no sin To rise and eat his bread. ~~New York Call, Intelligent of self-interest is not sel fish.

Cohen. and often far into the night, And for these women who toil before the loom or bench or table in the fetid atmosphere of the mill and who have no pause from exacting labor until the duties of motherhood bear them down —for those who often enough allow themselves no rest for bringing into the world the makers of future civiliza tion but the few moments when they retire from the workroom to an adjoin ing room-—is there anyone who could successfully contend that the place of those women is with the business of sc¢rub brush and broom? We are not sure our opponents grasp the significance of the terrible position woman occupies in the wage-working world. So, to put it very strongly, we would say at the present time wo man's place seems to be most any where but in the home; that her home is most anvwhere but her residence, » Now, it is entirely unnecessary to offer a prediction as to the inspiring place woman will make for herself in the society of the future, It is almost commonplace to say she will travel in a plane as high as her mate. And it is a waste of energy to tender the grown up clothes of thought to those who cling to their swaddling togs. What can be said, in language that our opponents may grasp, is that woman's place really is in the home, That is one of the places she should have for herself. And we are driving on to woman suffrage and Socialism because we mean to make it possible for every man and woman to have all that cconomic and social enterprise can do to make a home for themselves, That's why woman'’s place is in the center of modern thought. We leave the outskirts to our reactionary friends the antis. The Miners' Magazine, erty of the people is put into the hands of certain = “benevolent people”™ as trustees, The evidence is clear that they have not been faithful to the trust, consequently the people have the right to take from their hands that which was entrusted to them. There will be no outeasts suflering from cold and hunger when Socialism comes, for then all may have jobs at a remuneration that will admit of good living for all. Good shelter and clothing will be produced for the use of the pro ducers and not as now, for the profits of the owyglrs, Giving woman the ballot will not take power from man, It will merely make bim stronger by making him right, When the worker rules the rulers have to work, What the people use most the peo ple should own.— Carlyle, It the thief can make vou believe that his title to what he has is sacred he has nothing to fear. Unpaid labor is legalized thievery, THOUGHTS. By Robert Sutelifle Fhere must alwavs bhe enmity be tween competition and co-operation Foo many churches are holding ser- vices instead of rendering services So long as a single child goes hungry to school there can be no such thing as a glutted wheat market, Strange that the man who toils ten hours a day in a saw mill never talks about the dignity of labor. After centuries of prisons there are more prisoners than ever before, Progress is alwavs the otcome of dis satistaction Moses was certainly class conscious when he sided with the Israelitish slaves against the Egyptian overlords Has the wife and mother who works in the mill or factory ten to fourteen hours a day a home worthy of being talked about? Let some of these well fed and well-groomed pulpit orators who are fighting Socialism and defend. ing capitalism answer this question. Sinee the workers have the power to change this way of doing things when- ever they don't like it we have to as sume that they do like it. Only when interest is ended in the co-operative commonwealth will ha manity find real interest in life and the world. Socialism s needed to protect the home from the landlord and the mort- gage shark The working class produce all the world’s wealth, Why then don't you own it after yon have made it? Are you loeony, or have you got the simples, that you vote for a system that robs you of seven-vighths of your product? LURED BY BEAUTY Women to Whose Rare Loveliness Mobs Paid Homage. ONE MAID WHO CAUSED A RIOT The Charm of Julie Durrier Was Such That a Surging Crowd, Eager For a View of Her Face, Wrecked a Cafe. Peerless Countess Castiglione. “They can't walk in the park,” wrote Horace Walpole of the beautiful Gun nings in 1751, “or go to Vauxhall, but such mobs follow them that they are generally driven away.” Elizabeth, Maria and Kitty Gununing were three beautiful sisters who, coming over from Ireland in 1750, took Loundon by storm. Nor wus the furore that their beauty created of brief duration, for nine years luter we read in the London Chronicle of Maria Gunning, by that time Countess of Coventry, and Lady Waldegrave, “that two ladies of dis tinction (who had, it seems, been in commoded by the mob, as the phrase Is, the Sunday before) walked up and down the walks of St. James' park, preceded by soldiers from the guard—a precaution which gave no small of fense to the rest of the company, who were frequently obliged to go out of their path to make way for the proces sion.” Equally potent was the beauty of the Countess de Castiglione, who, at her first appearance at a ball given by Napoleon 111. at the Tuileries, created such a sensation on her entrance that the dancers stopped motionless and the strains of the band ceased, guests and musicians all pressing forward in their eagerness to catch a glimpse of the newcomer. Wherever she went after ward her peerless loveliness produced a like effect, people climbing on to chairs and benches to see her pass, while when, in 18062, she visited the London opera the audience stood upon the seats and struggled for every place of vantage from which to gaze upon the lovely FFlorentine. Fanny Murray about the middle of | the eighteenth century was one of the toasts of the town. Her beauty was beyond question and created such a | stir at Tunbridge Wells, whither she | went to drink the waters, as to neces sitate the formation of a special guard of her admirers, who kept off the crowds that flocked and pressed around her when she walked on the Pantiles and other public resorts. Indeed, such was the fame of her beauty that from miles around the country folk came in wagons, carts or any vehicle that could be procured—and when one was not available they hesitated not to walk— that they might feast their eyes on the. celebrity from town, The good looks of Julie Durrier al ways drew after her a crowd when she walked through the streets of Mar sellles—a fact that the proprietor of an eating house was not slow to avail himself of when he engaged the girl to serve in his establishment. For a few days all went well, and Boniface was beginning to rejoice over his fortune when he suddenly realized that one can have more than enough of a good thing when the crowd, of which the dimen slons grew larger every day, swarmed into his establishment in their eager ness to view the beautiful Hebe and. on his attempting to eject some of the most persistent, broke into open tu mult, destroying the tables and chairs, breaking the glasses and, in short, wrecking the restaurant, whence the cause of the uproar was lucky in escap ing by a back exit. The next day the place was closed, and soon afterward Mlle. Durrier left the town. More extraordinary still was the sen sation created at Toulouse toward the close of the sixteenth century by = paragon of beauty known only to fame as La Belle 'aule. Whenever she ap peared in public she was at once sur rounded by a crowd of men and wo men belonging to all classes, whose ad miration grew to be a positive danger to its object, who ran more than a chance of being crushed to death in the press, as, indeed, was more than one of her worshipers. In these circum stances appeal was made to the civie authorities, who, after due considera. tion, agreed to supply her with protec tion against her too ardent admirers on condition that she should at certain hours walk abroad so that the public might look upon her face, This, after some demur, she agreed to do, so twice a week the populace of Toulouse were permitted to collect in orderly throngs to view her, whom they regarded as little less than a goddess.—London Tit Bits. Practicing Forethought. Forethought looks beyond the obsta cle to ultimate results. It reaches out constructively for a way to get over, through or around that which hinders the realization of its object. Forethought when exercised develops the imagination. The mind accustomed to thinking ahead soon acquires vision, This leads to freedom in a higher de gree, The one who takes no fore thought is surpris&l, cast down, dis couraged, when anything goes wrong. Such a one is enslaved, imprisoned, as it were, by a wall of circumstances, The one accustomed to use forethought is far less the slave of circumstance. Such a one learns to look for a way by which to turn the unpleasant experi ence into profitable results. He uses his imagination to find a way out. e thinks constructively instead of just blindly giving In to fate. [lle has learned that by forethought and imag- Ination, by creative, constructive think. ing, he can find new ways to success ‘when one way is blocked.
