Shoe This to the old Pop Who
Vent Into That Nasty
European Mess

Those Socialist leaders are either the
greatest towards or the most shameless hypo-
critics that ever lived.
[ mean Eugene Debs, j. A. Wayland, Fred
Warren, Richard LeGallienne, Victor L.
Burger, Robert Hunter, and Joseph Medill
Patterson.
[ have dared them to define Socialism in
it's relation to
The Home, as we know it;
The Marital Relation;
Private Property;
Religion, and Racial and Social Equality
They are afraid to publish the definition
They continue to preach two different, ire
concllable doctrlnes-one to catch country
people and the other to win the poor and the
immorally inclined Of the big cities.
If this is not the game why should these
national leaders fear to prepare and publish
that plain, honest definition?
To show you that they do mean Free Love,
we set before you the following nasty preach
ment, taken from one of their magazines,
The Open Road:
'"The Social Shame.
Miss Nancys cry that freedom would lead
to indulgence! How little the dear ladies
know of things they are Sex indulgence is
rampant to the very limit, and beyond, of fysical
endurance. 1t could not go further, for tissues
and nerves won't stand any more pressure. The
world teens with sex perverts, and sex diseases
kill millions-because Puritanism and hypocrisy
have damned the natural, beautiful river of sex
intercourse. Tear away the dam and let the
mightiest river in Nature wend it's way normally
and peacefully to the great of human love-
The very word love, in any sense, today is
empty and meaningless The sex relation is
bounded by passion, by coarseness, vulgarity, SEN
sualty, and no decent conception of love enters
into it.
"This Christian civilization, which swallows on
Faith whole bibIeful of literal absurdities hasn't
enuf faith in God.

Iature eChOing the prurient virgins of Society,

may be. And the Social Shame says, OF course
you won't keep that oath-no expects that
you will But you must lie and deceive every
time you disregard it, We slime your life with
our Shame, brand you hypocrite, and pro-
waIow in sensuality mentally and fysically, to
the tune of clnking dollars. But all the beauty
and poetry and chasteness of natural sex-mating
must leave your life forever That is SOcietys
mandate, and that it is mot enfOrct with absolute
rightly, is only to say that Nature is stronger
than Society and men and women better than the
conditions that chain them. The chains self
forged, in the aggregate, but thousands now re-

A Right Funny Thing

One of my sympathetic friends, wishing to
be helpful, sent me a clipping from certain
paper; and asked me to comment on the ar
ticle. CHANGING down the column of printed
matter to find whose name might be slgned>to
the piece, I saw the unfamiliar entrimmings
"Omori S. Talent"
The subject of the article was Foreign Mis-
sions; and, of course, came in for a lam
baStlng, as usual.
Thinks [ to myself, "Who IS this Omri S.
Talent? Why should he be assailing my po-
he cannot see, just [ do, how sadly we need
to minister to our own flesh and blood and
put the sweet spirit of Christ more in evil
dence among our own people?"
With these reflections in mind, and still
marvelllng what manner of man my assallant
might be, / take up the Atlanta Georgian,
and right there on the first page, the shock
ing, big headline smites me squarely in the
eye,
"TALLENT EXPELLED, RESULT or
FIGHT WITH ROLFE HUNT"
"O!" [ cried out in dismay, ''What if this
Talent should turn out to be my Omri S.
Tallent!"
Rolfe Hunt, I seemed to remember. His
name, according to a vague recollection, was
associated with the endearing title Of "Boy
Preacher. That he should have been in
eight with anybody, was sufficiently dis
tressing. But the question which agitated
me was "Did he fight Omri s. Talent?
With feverish haste, [ read further, and to
my stupefaction [ not only discovered that
Omri S. qOas Rozfe's assailant but that Omri
S. was called "Boy Preacher, tool!
So sat right down and was silent, for
lack of words to suitably, commensurately,
exhaustively and adequately express my feel
ings. It amt often that I'm 'tooIz' in that
way; but when "Boy Preacher" has jumped
on you about the heather; and you then pick
up the morning paper and see on the front
page, In flaring letters, where this same ''Boy
Preacher" has been fighting another "Boy
Preacher, and has been fired from the Bible
School; and that the lovely rumpus is all
about "an affair" with pretty girl-oh,
what GAN you do but sit down, and wish
for dozen tongues and two dozen lungs, so
that you might do justice to the subject?
Certain correspondence between the two
Boy Preachers preceded the commencement
of hostilities This was as it should have
been. First, your epistolary sparring; then,
your fight

Exhausted English Political Orators
| Have Much Needed Rest.

London, Dec 16.--With only IS seats
in the new House of Commons yet to
be filled the general elections are prac-
tically ended and the exhausted politi-
cal orators hav begun a much needed
rest. OF the % vacant seats, 20 al
ready have been polled for, though the
results will not be known until tOmor-
row. The position of the contending
parties tonight is as follows: Govern
ment coalition 377; Cnionists opposi-
ton 2S5.
Members Of the House Of Lord party
are agreed to call the result Of the
baIloting a draw, but there is no unani-
nifty among them as how best to meet
the. new situation when Parliament
meets. Some of them want the House
OF Lords straightway to reject the gov
ernment's veto bill, while others favor
a policy Of delay by discussing the bill
and eventually placing wholesae
amendments in it.
The Unionist Saturday Review de-
clared that King George was badly ad-
vising in consenting to the dissolution
of Parliament, but it says it cannot
see how His Majesty now can avoid

one party or the other.
