AiAipi Wv eHleIlI on the regular article
and in answer the society queen point
ed to a picture of an acquaintance sit
ting horse astride. do you think
that this is an improvement on the
proper pOsition?" she asked, naively.
Neither so pretty nor so comfort
able was the bland reply.
L always look upon the woman in
the saddle as an artificial creature and
lament her lack of taste" was the
comment of the mistress of the New
port villa.
You see if men had changed as we'll
it might have made the new woman
possible" and the bishop raised his
eyebrows.
But he hasn't, you see," archly an
swered she Of the Pompeiian villa
and so there is no argument-we are
both agreed; to be adorable woman
must be herself"
Then the bishop addressing himself
to man of his own mind, propounded
the following extraordinary sugges-
tions:
There is no question forcing itself
to the front today more pertinently
than that which involves the future of
the American woman.
1T is not monOpoIized by Newport
bellies or persons of the cloth nor is it
discussed exclusively by those who,
like Miss Susan B. Anthony, are re-
spOnSible for the new woman, 1 pre-
sumo.
But it is all talk, talk and mean
while race suicide continues and our
family life is undermined by the new
order Of things, which is producing
millions of sexless beings to add to the
confusion and to blight the fairest
type of humankind yet evolved.
Some way when the men have Or
gained their labor unions to a point
where they really control things they
will go into the work shops and offices
where these seXless beings are en-
plOyed and tell them to go home and
attend to the cooking Of the food and
the rearing Of real men and women.
There will be very few of the old
American families left by this time
and a considerable commotion will
precede this change, but the recurring
cycles will bring it about if the human
race is to continue.
BY Rudeness and Violence.
'Tt is not unlikely that rudeness and
perhaps violence may be offered to
some of the seXless creatures who in
sist on the downfall Of the race by
usurping the employment Of men.
According to a reliable authority it
is necessary in order to meet acct
dents and prevent race extinction that
each pair of adults have four children.
This being the case we are to see the
family institution preserved in it's
strictest integrity among the highest
American type or else to face not only
a decadent element but a degenerate
national type, because the loss must
be made up by additional births among
the immigrant classes who are admit
teddy mainly supplied from the scum
of Europe.

is the unit Of the nation as the indi-I

Sicilian brigands or SerWan beggars
will produce few Websters, few Clays
and few Jeffersons. =. $3.50.

braggarts on earth or with carrying
out the high ideals and morals which

country's wealth was originally made.

If the paupers Of other countries ARE to

Like Tyre and Sidon.
"The doctrines Of the Susan B. An
thongs are the same which led to the
razing of Tyre and Sidon. Couched
in delicate language, they contain the
germ of all that is potentially unnat-
ural and hence diseased or vile.
1.-The condemnation is severe, but
the circumstances would seem to war;
rant 1t, from the following, which re-
Gently was given voice to by one of
the most eminent writer's in the land i:

Franco-German war. The old Chris
tian tradition Of the divine mother
and the divine child, dethroned in re-
formation times has lost it's religion
and ethnic force in the United States,
and we must look to religious influ-
ence and teachings to preserve the
sancity of the family from divorce,
from infanticide, from prostitution, and
the danger of race decadence through

The encouragement of marriage
even of early marriage, the production
and rearing Of children, the making of
the family rather than the individual
the unit of life has been the salvation
and perpetuation of the GermaniC
people. This simple and natural home
life has prevented those social vices
which now alarm our civic communi-
ties-the vices which eat like a can
ker, and in whose train follow hard
ness and insolence, growing on men
until they take no more pleasure in
whatsoever is pure and natural. The
home ideal, the divine mother and
child ideal is publicly decried; nothing
is left but the service of the goddess
lubricity; Of selfishness, cupidity and
greed. The doctrine of these new
teachers-married women ripe in edI-
cational service and counsel-the adj
wise which they virtually give to the
young woman of their schools and of
their adopted city simply means no
marriage, or late marriage; it is a
plea for Iegalized concubinage, per-
petua1 i'll health and degradation OF
married womanhood-of the eternal

and purpose of the family
Leads to Degradation.
