The Family Instinctively most So
An Obstacle cialist theories have re-
To Socialism. allied that the fam
lily is ininical to
which It creates for the posses
sion of private property. private life and
an existence based on indtvidualism.
Therefore, the family must he de-
stroyed. But the family cannot be de-
stroyed without also the destruction OF
marriage, for once let man and wo-
man bind themselves for life ana bring
up their children in Il home and you
have an institution which is bound to
shatter tho Socialistic IDEAL The easy
talk about the state being nothing but
a great family is based on the falSeSt
of false analogies. But though this In
stinctive dread OF the family as bound
to oppose Socialism, If it is allowed
scope, may be the chief reason why s'o-
clalism has always resulted in the al
vocacy OF some form OF promiscuity,
open or covert, 1t is not the only reason
why sexual communism has been advo-
Gated. Though the fact is not ad"
mitted or realized by most Socialists,
the demand for Socialism is in reality
Il throwback to primitive ideas and
primitive instincts. The organization
of the savage tribes Is largely social
istic and communistic. It is true that
we also find in the primitive commu-
nifty the beginnings of very strong fam
lily institutions. but these are the grow
ing instruments destined to emancipate
mankind from the slvagery of social
ism. The family was primitive mans
path Of escape from communism.
When. however, man Wearies of the
struggle toward the light of true civil
ization, as he does periodically the idea
surges up in his mind that he must re-
trace his steps Though he guilds it
with the name OF progress, what he
really means and desires is to get
back to his old savagery In which all
things were common and nothing I'M
clean.-London Spectator.

volcano (from which no
eruption has taken place since A. d.
1889, known as the Solfatara. But. al
though in a sense extinct, yet at var-
Gus points it is always belching forth
dense, suffocating volumes OF white
sulphureous fumes; jets OF sulphur
