SOCIALISM AS A CAUSE OF
DIVORCE.
We have long suspected till since
ii is so persistently asserted that
Socialism breaks up the home. That
the tangible discovery lias been
so long delayed is remarkable
when most anyone could have de
duced it from the lives of such emi
nent apostles of Socialism as Com
rades Napoleon and Henry the
Might.
Then too. in our own time and
right under our very eyes, nobody
has been so addicted to the di
verse evil as have members of New
York’s Four Hundred, every one
of whom is known to be a red card
member of the Socialist i’artv in
good standing.
The unhappy smash up in the do
mestic life of Comrade Hartv Thaw
wac directly due to his fanatical
adherence to the principles of In
ternational Socialism, and when one
reflects upon the divorce scandals
in such prominent Socialist families
ns the Mould . the Coreys and \ an
(b rbilts. not to mention the lament
ed Comrade Astor, it is simply
■astounding that we did not perceive
this before.
rndoubtedly the American So
< , iovement is responsible for
the spread of the divorce plague
abroad. Comrade Consuelo. Dueh
cs of Marlborough, and Comrade
Anna Gould, now Princess do Sagan
nr“ known ot have gone to Europe
several years algo and to have be
gun an active propaganda of So
cialism. Comrade Nathaniel Good
win is the most brilliant exponent
of revolutionary Socialism in Am
erica and Rctio. Nevada, is a regu
lar hot-bed of the cult.
In glaring contrast to the adult
erous lives of these Social! ts arc
those of such doughty champions
of capitalism as Eugene V. Debs.
Victor Berger. Fred Warren and
Emil Seidel, whose marital experi
ences extending over long years are
marvels of domestic felicity.
Now that the eau e of divorce is
definitely known its eradication Isa
simple task. About all we will
have to do is to suppress the Social
Ists and there really seems nothing
very difficult about that
SOCIALIST MOVEMENT
NOT FOUNDER I l’tlN
SENT AMENTA LISM
1 hold that the worker suffers
among r 11 hi. delusions no more
serious handicap than his over
nature and his boob no
generou
tioi.s of abstract right and wrong
which exist nowhere else and are
certainly unknown to the con
sciousness of the capiat list cla-«,
of that of ail) other class that lias
I over ruled.
Now whatever v ■ may expect
ultimately I am first ol nil not try
ing to build a society without rul
ers. On tlie contrary I have in |
mind as a first consideration the
j abolute and iron rule of the world
by labor.
After all is said and done, de
I moeraey itself is a cock rach philo
sophy ,'ianng Its origin and devel
opment contemporaneous with the
! rise and accession to power of tiie
I bourgeoise. It proved exceedingly
useful to that cla s who chose to pit
its shrewdness and running against
th ' traditional rule of the monarchs
and the nobility. But what ran
democracy mean so far as labor is
concerned? Equality of opportun
| ity at lies! can mean but the s|>ecia!
opportunity of the few who are
shrewdest and mo-t cunning. In
I the quaint folk-lore of Andausia
there is a proverb that “In the
■ 'and cf the Blind the One-Eyed Is
King.” Likewise with a democracy.
I And yet the workers are mislead
| by no mere alluring ideals than
■ democracy;— brotherhood, ad nan
scum.
It have mentioned it only the
i better to show that brotherhood is
a false and begulving ideal and
! tends to ob-eure the mind of the
worker to the overwhelming ad
vantage solely in his own hands, in
this neglected fact. That he is at
all times, day and night, in actual,
physical and sole possession of all
capital and of all wealth operated
as such, including all the products
of his own hands—foods, viands
and what not, down to the very
mouth ot the waiting customer.
The worker is in position, if he hut
realized it, to strangle the balance
of mankind into submission to the
domination of the world !<y those
| who work. Frankly my energies
in life are bent upon having him
realize ju t that, and if I lacked
justification I can think of no more
justifiable thing than the dominion
of the earth by those who do all its
useful, all its necessary, and all of
its beautiful work.
That is to be had only through
conquest, and we must fight. Our
mission then i an utterly merciless
one. We should therefore sound
the delquollo, “no quarter," down
with Capitalism and all its gods!

One incident at Cam;) ih'TUs, in
Art r, Mass., 'ihich lias now reached
i iviilan cars, should help somewhat
toward making the new United
State.- Army democratic. As the
story has been heard by outsiders
while nearly all of the officers who
have come from tlio training camp
in Plattsburg have been respected
and liked, a few have been tegarded
as martinets. A short time ago. a
private passed one of these officers,
a lieutenant, without saluting. The
Pl itt burger at once called the
man's attention lo the fact, and the
private apologized, explained that
he was a raw recruit and was
thinking of something else at the
moment, and promised that he
would not again fail in showing
proper corn tesy.
But the lieutenant, as the report
goes, saw fit to impress the lessen
on the new arrival mere fotcefully,
and ordered him to make amend-',
on the spot, by saluting 200 times.
The soldier began his task, but the
officer, in hie haste, had set a rather
high figure, and, after a lew mi
nutes, many Mlicr men of the camp
had come along and stopped to
watch the eprformance. When quite
a company had collected, a colonel
came that way and paused to learn
what was going on After hearing
the lieutenant's report, the superior
officer a ked the private for his ver
sion. Upon hearing it, the colonel,
turning again to the ieiuter.ant, in
quired, “And when a private salutes
you, what do you do?" “I return
it,” was the reply. The colonel then
quickly concluded ills own part in
the incident, which one the whole
must have been quite entertaining
to the bystanders, by saying. “Re
turn tlie salutes."
LITTLE HITS OK TKl’TH.
The truth about theft is that sur
plus value U;, the biggest steal.
The truth about the wealth of the
world is that it lias never been paid
for.
Tho truth about surplus value is
—it is the real robber.
The truth about Labor is that it
leads a lemon life.
The truth about capitalism is it
founded upon a lie.
The truth about prostitution is
that it goes hand-in-haiul with low
wage-.
The truth about Graft is that
Unpaid Labor is the source of all
graft.
The truth of about the jail is
that the big criminals is outside
of it.
The truth about the class struggle
is that it is the SUPREME fact of
out time and the GREAT WORLD
ISSUE.
The truth about the Proletarian
Revolution is that it will transfer
the ruling power,.* from the hands
of the Bourgeoise to the working
class.
The trutIt about some people is
that they don’t know and don't
want to know, and condemn every
thing on general principles.
The truth regarding electricians
is that when they strike all the glit
ter of gold splendor of the capital
ist class can not light up a city.
