Socialists and Equal Division

To the Editor of The Star:
The editorial of Wednesday on The
Equal Division Fallacy" fogs an issue
that demands absolute cearsightedness.
The Tof-Nale decisions made socialism d
burning issue in England, and few
more Judge Wright decisions will do that
kindly office here. Misundersta nding much
less Misrepresentation, can do nothing to
help solve questions of such moment.
Comrade Stokes does not and never did
believe in equal division. He was simply
trying to give serious answer to a
silly question. No other socialist does
or did believe in equal division. No eX-
PLANTATION Of the socialist position is in
existence which even mentions equal di-
vision unless to deride 1t. There is not
the slightest basis in fact for any such
objection. and there never has been since
the birth of socialist party. 1t is de-
pressing to see editors of such position
and influence even cOuntenancing so base
less an idea.
Let us fight in the open. Socialism is
not based on Ignorance, but On knowledge.

they see Greece and Rome rise and fall

see an era Of feudalisn follow, based

decay of that era they live, and out of
its ruins they see springing up an era
which they call the era of socialism. The
| economic basis of that era they believe
will be the collective ownership and DEM
ocratc control of all those things that
shall be considered necessary to a full

French Pen0l0gy.

France leads the world in many
things besides art and sculpture. The
French ration with all of its vicissi-
tudes stands today in the front rank of
the progressive states of the world.
One of the principal advanced meth
DDS adopted is the one of dealing with
malefactOrs and violators of the law.
France has established various penal
colonies in its dltfert Mt island and AT
rican possessions. The latest advanced
theory IN handling prisoners Of state is
deport them to island possessions and
after certain period of probation the
French government allots them plot
of land in seveIa'ty together with I'M
plements and stock suitable for farm
ing. The prisoners are allowed the
widest latitude of freedom consistent
with their punishment. During the
time of probation the detained is per-
mitted to reap the benefit of his labors
and eventually becomes the absolute
owner of the prol erty and all OF its im-
provements. This is somewhat in line
with the ideas advanced by some OF the
leading writer's on renology.
In France political prisoners are sent
to Devils Island where they are harsh
" treated, especially if guilty of trea-
sOnable acts-but in all other cases
malefactors are cared for upon the
broadest lines of human sympathy,
succor and salvation.
France has lately reinstated the use
of the guiiIotine for capital crimes.
Many will say this is harsh and I'M
civilized method of executing those
who are suffered to forfeit their lives.
, Since capital punishment must be in
tlicted in accordance with the establish
, ed laws of many states and nations the
= most painless and certain method is the
., best. Soldiers prefer to be shot rather
= than hanged. Major Andre begged
= General Washington to shoot him In
:, stead of using the hangman's rope
!, but as the Continental Congress had
ordered Major Andre to be han: ed
:, was carried out much to the chagrin
:, and modification of the distinguished
English army officer. French scientists
. maintain that decapitatiOn by the gull
:. lotine is far more humane and painless
;, than by angling or electrocutiOn-a'
many bungling jobs by the latter meth
;, DDS have proved to be the case on nu
!, merous occasions.
= The French government imprison
it's citizens upon the slightest pretens
~ and very ofte II upon the flimsiest test
- mony and evidence. On the other ham
~ the French are quick to grant clemenc
- to prisoners after they have served
=. short period of their sentence ii the
~ =, prove themsel, es worthy. In this RI
- spect at least France is far and ava
w ahead of many other nations.

his wife:
will you please 'stope' work long

will retard digestion Keep out of

your responsibilities onto the should
ers of your partners Remember y
true friend is worth his weight ir
