matter when II loses It's gray color and
takes on a golden hue. The most promi-
nent symptom II that the person 30
afflicted cannot grasp an idea or plan that
IL advanced by the people.
Possibly those things not condemned
were part OF the belief OF the Socialists
How does Mr.. Hewitt know that every
thing was condemned that was contrary
to their belief" II he does not know what
that belief Is? Again. ne states that we
have allowed Jesus TO he placed on a level
with some OF our leaders, mot because
He was the son OF God but because He
on several occasions spoke against the
rich" Christ placed himself on a level
with the common people and the only
time he was ever raised or lowered was
when the rich, the rulers. raised him on
the cross, and his humble followers
lowered him TO place his body in the
tomb.
The people said: HE Is Christ" and
the rulers said He is an imposter; away
with him" II Christ was 10 return and
preach the doctrines that he preached.
then the rich would cry out: He is sn
Anarchist; away with-crucify him.
Perhaps. II Mr.. Hewitt would read
Christ's life and teachings with closer at
tention he might be able 10 see where we
get our idea that what Christ taught was
not Socialism. but communism. which
would be as imprac,icable today as So
cialism would have been in those days
From an answer given I'm the Appeal
20 Reason" TO an inquirer. he gathers the
following: There would be no marriages
but community of women; whatever
that means" Now. isn't II queer, that
from that same article that ne refers to
that I should arrive at just the opposite
conclusion. That goes 10 show how some
n fWiC ttrrn IN
goes they had pied" the job and per-
the operation better than the
printer apprentice boy during his first
days work-and yet they are both
learning"
The article 10 which he refers states
that under socialism marriage contracts
would be entered into on different basis
and the people would settle that question
for themselves. Under the present system
the wife is too often looked upon as a ma
chine. means Of production and many
women often marry for the sake of a
home. for social position or wealth, that
under socialism women would have no
need to prostitute themselves for the
sake OF obtaining bread. Isn't that plain
enough, Is that a community OF women?
IL IL Is God speed the day when the Unit |
ed States will be a community of wom-

Why should we Socialists wish to es-

This is a community OF women with a

In ending Mr.. Hewitt says, Laws /
should be enforced without fear or favor,

That is the trouble now. the laws are en-
orced without fear OF the people and In
avor OF the corporations. How are they
