He who is bound by the silly restric-
tions Of fashion and conVentiOnality is
afraid to think and speak for himself
He depends upon those whe have brok
en- from their prison bonds and hurled
defiance toward the world.
The life that half the world is living
| is only a bitter lie, covered with the
snowy seeming of wealth or pride
Down with society. fashion aud con
ventionality! Until they are swept
from our lives, their bauble chains will
bind us and we will be afraid to declare
what we believe.
Down with the narrow minded,
thievish creatures that we call men-
and there are great many of them in
the worldwide live by trickery and
lies and falseness, whose every thought
is base and low and ungenerous!
These are the kind of people received
and honored by society, these are the
kind of deeds pardoned by society, pro-
vided there is wealth and name behind
them. If they happen to be committed
by people, "rot in our set, the most OF
them hold their hands and say, "How
shocking! But really twas only to be
expected, you know. These com
mon people are utterly lacking il
a sense of honor" The rest of then
raise their eybrows. And half o1
them conceal beneath gaudy robes
the slain semblance of nature ant
honor.
There is but one Justice that nevel
errs and that one is the Eternal. 1t il
indeed blessing and and curse t.
humanity to know that it is so.
1t is all very we'll to repeat that worn
out maxim of the copy-book: "You ar,

not by the company you keep, but b.
the motives you possess in keeping it.
Let us think, not of how the worl,
regards us, but of where we are leading
eur own selves, whether we are goin
upward or downward. To be sure, til
world doesn't care very much whic
road we take. SO long as we cater to it
beliefs.
