THIS is THE LIMIT.

Let every man take off his hat and
bow his head and knee in shame who
erstwhile laughed to scorn the wise
Chicago one who prophesed the fall
of man. The doom of man has been
proclaimed, and all his works crushed
underfoot by woman. Impatient at
the backwardness of man, his failure
to do anything of excellence, and in
capacity to rule or even protect his
better half the Woman's Christian
Socialist Party now demands surren-
der unconditional, and has already
built a platform from which to utter
its dire sentences. This platforms
every plank is a great utopian scheme,
and some of them are knotty, and the
nails are driven against the grain. The
constitutions of the States must fall,
TO be replaced by woman's constitu-
ton. After the RELOCATION of the men
and their ideas to the back woods,
there will scintillate in new economi-
cal government these principles, whose
establishment and practice is demand
ed by this organizations:
The abolition of individual owner
ships of land.
The abandonment of the use of
money.
1.-The establishment of stores, at
which every man doing his share of
work may obtain everything he needs
free.
''All social and business relations to
be governed by two laws, viz: ID
The Golden Rule and CD if man will
not work neither shall he eat.
Communities States, and the Ma
tional government to be administered
by boards of directors. elected by all
members of society, male and fe-
male"
'Inasmuch as liberty and happiness
are no longer possible for a majority.
and life itself is i'm a constant state
of jeopardy" the Woman's Christian
Socialist Party destroys in a score of
words the mighty fabric of which our
patriotic grand sires made this coun-
try, and the achievements of many
generations do not amount to fudge!
Man is d dismal failure and let him
hang his harp on the willows, while
woman calmly tells him he has gone
the limit so far as government is con-
cerned:
1T is apparent that the capacity
of men for maintaining a peaceful
government has reached it's natural
limit. Therefore. be it resolved, That
woman, the representative of the
mother principle of the creative force,
and consequently endowed with clear
er perceptions of Divine truth and
natural law. shall remove the trans
erosion and evolve order out of chaos
by instituting a new constitution, based
on free land, thus bringing the nation
into line with the eternal and bene-
flcent laws of creation
But the worst is to come, impossible
to be withheld with idle words of d
masculine; however. a word in the ear
of Teddy the fearless, defiant: you are
not afraid of bears but you may not
bear the pressure which is destined
to grip Washington A hint to the
wise is sufficient. Get! For:
BE it further resolved" say these
relentless women. that the work of
propagandism be vigorously pushed so
that as early as possible a delegation
or women representing every State in
the Union may proceed to Washing
ton. d. c., there to lay before the
ruling powers of this government this
proposition. namely: That the old and
effete Constitution of the United States
be abrogated, and the new ConStitu-
ton, meeting the exigencies of the
hour, be adopted
