COW MUNISM.

The "beau ideal" OF the Communists is
impracticabIe. To have all things in COM
mon might do for angels, but man is too
depraved. The Quakers have a system of
living in common, but every man, woman
and child must come to time. Each one
must do his part-no drones in that hive.
All help store away the honey and make
the bread. Let a dozen loafers men,
women and children = sit around while
one women makes up the beds, cooks the
the dinner, and washes and irons the shirts
and one man works hard TO raise the wheat
and corn. Horriblel! Who has soul
rugged for such sailing? My brother, we
can't do it. No 'tisn't fair. This thing
Of having all thingsin common under such
circumstances won't do. After we get
perfected and enter heaven-where every
one is a miniStering spirit - Communism
may do; or, il all these tramps and luafers
and curmudgeons will become pious and
each do their part in all the cares of life
and love, then, perhaps, we might get
along. But even then it would be hest to
stick to the divine plan. Let each man
have his own wife, his own house, his own
OK and his own babies. What is the use
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house,
nor his wife, nor his man-servant, nor his
mnid-servant, nor his OK, nor his ass, nor
anything that is thy neighbor's." How
do you like that? Come, let US study

has been set for a simultaneous strike all

possible to crush ont such movement in
