to the support of legitimate means of
alleviating distress, dares to leave to
the little child the solving of the
problem that it should take upon it,
self, it is guilty of a very cowardly
thing. To throw the responsibility for
relief in such cases onto the shoulders
OF childhood is to deliberately stand
by and permit the boys and girls to
hurl themselves into an abyss out of
which there is no escape.
The boys and girls of today, whe-
ther they be of the factory or the man.
sion, are the men and women of to-
morrow. 1t is not an easy thing to
contemplate the future of the little
ones who are chained to the drudgery
OF the workshop; it is not a nice thing
to look forward to the day when
women, dragged from their childhood
into the whirlpool of despair, lashed
hopelessly since their earliest years
to the foot power machine or the
sweatshop bench, shall in turn become
the mothers of the race, or to peer
further still into the future and con-
jure up the mental, moral and physi-
cal aspect of their offspring.

possessions only as possessions. Pay
the government in taxes for the protec-
tlon OF possession. No rent there pos

have enough to do to pay the courts
for protection to property. Where we
cannot otherwise protect it, seizure of
corporate property by government
need not mean permanent manage
ment by government. The best meth
cd experience will discover. But a per-
sonal manager must be held strictly
responsible for his acts. No privileges
of a special character granted him. No
corporation to dodge behind if he is
responsible for crimes. His neck

his part over which he has not the
control, being only a speaking tube.

ing it is nothing, only this or that.
Not human life, says the editor, as to
value. Well, value is human life, just
that, and it is as measurable as electric
energy. Value is it's expression in
economics. That being true, despite
anything the editor or the other Del
Martians, not excepting the man OF
Wall street, experienced Knickerbock-
ers have SO far been able to bring to
bear by way Of showing it fallacy.
Interest is human life, and interest is
that part of value for which not as
much as an excuse has ever been Of
fered by economists. 1t Is not to cover
risks in return for the use of value.
That is accomplished by scarcity, and
is proper. No quibble is offered in OPP
position to proper security. 1t is only
another form of exchange with certain
specified contingencies. People do not
exchange-at least they never should
and bear the reputation of honest men
with the expectancy of giving less in
value than the seller places upon it.
Scarcity, the editors value, plays it's
part here. but not as creating value.
The buyer comes here with his wants
and the scarcity of the article with him
personally governs, but does not create
the expression of his bid; for the seller
of his surplus does the same. The gen.
eral scarcity or surplussage will gov
ern both in their expressions which, If
|, they measured values, not scarcities,
alike constitute price, and prices, not
values, go up and they go down. VAL
ues are the same in quality if not on
trihing and continual increase, as the
years pass by. This is speaking in
the Del Martian concrete manner, the
total amount in existence, but that
should not effect prices in the least
whether the total lessened or in
creased, for they are not nor never
should be allowed to be considered in
their totality of existence as unit of
value, for nature has proclaimed the
unit in the expression 81 am and thou
shalt have no other god before me-"
which is the command Of nature. Is
self-respect and self-preservation of
the unit of natures and it is his to-
tallity's lowering or rising in want

as to want that effects prices. He is
the concrete as to himself. A measure

his energy, and with the same accuracy

measure and he is at the mercy of

vampire. but is represented as sucking

the same, and the editor says we shall
not be able to accomplish this unless
the collective ownership of all means
of production is in operation. Well,
what must happen then if all means of

production is in collective ownership,
is not the human being means OF
production and is he not owned and
that by an utterly irresponsible mas
ter? At that, he is worse thousand
times than the slave owner OF the
south for he had an interest in the
negro as unit at least of property.
Ccllectiyism has destroyed the unit.
1t is the collective oOZe of cannibalism
brought into systematic order that sci
ence in some of it's forms may have an
application just as it may in burg
larry or ether crimes, and they can all
shout and demonstrate it within their
narrow limits. Why is it scientific?
Will anyone deny that crime can be
riade scientific? We are no more called
upon to condemn science for this than
we are 10 condemn the axe by which
one rCsn has Drained the other. But
how about the man that used the axe
for such a purpose? How about Del
Mar and all the other economists who
are determined to bar out the human
being as the living center of econ
omists, without which the circle could
not exist? Under present conditions
of cannibalism it is justifiable to brain
the cannital whenever the cannibal
can be singled out as the collector of
interest can be or the court, which
never has been a court, that has al
lowed it, or the legislator that by his
Vote has passed laws that allow it.
That is justifiable if the killing of rat
tie snakes in self-defense is justifiable.
Rnt the fully justifable is not always
the best thing to be done. If we can
prevent further cannibalism without
the killing, that is the best thing of
all. We cannot undo the past as a
memory, a terror through which we
have escaped. 1t may be of use as a
brake upon future attempts in that di-
rection and those who have borne a
hand in present conditions under other
ores are best fitted to hand down to
rosterity the iniquity of the present
from experience.
No socialism of the collectivism or
der can for moment stand the broad
daylight except as Talos. the monster.
The right of eminent domain is not
co,lertivism, is not ownership 1t is
control where ownership cannot exist
as with natural opportunities title to
which cannot exist, as no title-giving
creator has ever been known. 1t can
not have passed on as real. Law can
not make title or ownership. 1t can
only hunt it out where it exists, and
protect 1t. 1t can protect possession
and give possession. It's limit is there
reached. Possession is not ownership
as anyone may find out by stealing
property when brought up before the
courts with the stolen property in pos
