COMMENT.
Under this sub period Of Barbarism
industry developed to a wonderful de-
gree by women. wherever woman had
sufficient freedom to initiate 1t, and
wherever the natural environment Of
fered materials. and created needs.
Where woman was too much sub
jected to exercise initiative in enlarg-
ing subsistence and invention, tribes
have not progressed. II is estimated
that, as compared with $4,000 years
for the periods of savagery. 10000
would have been occupied by the
lower period of Barbarism.
QUESTIONS.
L. Upon what did progress de-
pend? Ans. Upon the enlargement
Of subsistence, the freedom of woman.

The general election In japan has
been concluded and the government
has been triumphant The socialists
made a start by contesting three dis

were defeated. In one district they
came within 800 votes OF winning the

showing when II is known that three
fourths OF the working people In
Japan are disfranchised and that CO.
ercive and corrupt methods are
openly practiced by the capitalists
