is the reason he issued a pass to the

reason have you for asking for a
pass?'

the man. Il can't understand that.

SAYS TO COM BlNE is WAY
TO GIVE ALL A SQUARE DEAL

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2.-TEditor
Herald: One is surer when another
sees a star. Georgia K. sees the morn
ing star-Combine-just now peeplng
above the horizon, destined to drive
competition where darkness goes when
the light shines in. Hear one among
many good things she says: If prin-
ciple is such q success (referring TO
Combine) applied to a few, might it not
with advantage be applied to the whole
people? Mr. Editor, if this question
would attract and hold the attention
for a single day our resourceful Amer
leans would find an easy way TO get
into Combine before the sun goes down.
America did pass into political re-
public from a monarchy by the signing
of the Declaration of Independence be-
fore the ink was dry. So now we can
and will pass into an industrial repub-
lis as Immediate and in much the same
way. Georgia X, in pointing out Mr..
Robertson's stupidity intimates that all
the people took is the "Wanto." She,
as a loyal American, not only cares Tor
the suffering, helpless poor and the
nervous, restless rich, but she cares
enough to Combine, which is the only
antidote under heavens for Competi-
tion, the poison causing all our So
called labor trouble. She also gives to
this rising star peculiar luster by
showing the darkness of Wlllful ana
persistent ignorance of Robertson and
the masses she echoes selfish, and adds:
"Why, we are unselfish to the point OF
idiocy-or is it that we are ignorant
that there is a better way-a way of
enlightened self-interest advantageous
to all?" Aye, that's it-not goody,
goody men, but self-interested men:
one apt definition of Combine is band
of men who are afraid to steal from
each other. A tacit saying the only
way to make sure that you will never
steal from me is never to steal from
YOU. And the facts are shareholders in
Combine never do steal from each
other. not because they are good or
honest, but because they are afraid.
Shareholders are the only business men
who do not do it. If you know an ex-
ception "trot him out" If you can get
the consent of the managers of the
asylum. The competitive system-sys-
TEN, did I say? No. no, rather the alb
sence of system. Competitive chaos
rather teaches boys from their youth
up to take the best in trade. Com
b-i-n-e spells the name of the only way
to quit that nefarious practice and IN
stead give and get square deal.

GIVES THE SCIENTIFIC
CAUSE OF SOCIAL EVIL

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31.-]Editor
Herald: The question of the social
evil,' as it is commonly called, is of
untiring interest in these columns and
rightly so, for it concerns the most inn
portant thing in life, i. e. sex, and re-
production. All students recognize
self-preservation as "the first law of
nature" and the reproduction of the
species is a part and parcel Of that
law, for reproduction is merely con-
tinuation of that self" So it is held
then that reproduction is the most i'm
portant function of life; it is the OBJ
ject of life! And nature has pro-
claimed this law and commandment in
no uncertain terms.
Who are the friends of this vice, the
social evil? L think it can be shown
that the orthodox moralists, the social
crusaders, prohibitionists and abusive
and unfair writer's of these columns
are the friends and propagators of the
very thing they are so Jealous to de-
stroy. This is the biggest question
before society today, and it's solution
depends on something other than a
single standard of morals. For morals
are dependent on economic and biologi-
cal needs. Conventional morality does
not always meet those needs, for as
the economic needs change, so ought
the morals. This is where the scien-
fists part company with the orthodox
moralists. The moralists tell us the
cause is in the selfshness and natural
tendency of men toward evil. What
stupidity! The scientists tell us the
causes are many, chief of which are
economic, social and mental. Among
the economic causes are woman's de-
pendence on man Inability to support
HERSELF. One of the chief social causes
is the stupid institution of indissoluble
marriage and repressing divorce laws.
The mental causes are ignorance and
sex superstitions.
If our Jealous reformers would cope
with this vice they must look these
causes fairly in the face, for this is
not a question of fallen men" and
fallen women" it is a question of a
FALLEN system of economics; in 9TH
er words it is not a question of indi-
viduals but of the race as a whole.
