Slave or Free

| A young woman who was intrOnble
with the police the other day happen
ed to be unusually pretty and unus-
ually well educated, as far as the
education which comes in books goes.
So she was interviewed by every
newspaper in town and to every news
paper in town she told the same
| lncredi. able amazing story.
She said that she was girl of
good family. dependent upon her
| ielf for a living. She was a COM
)etent stenographer and made de-
cent living salary.
"B It," said this young person, II
was sick and tired of being a slave
/ wage Garner, so / deliberately went
| into this sort of life"
And several of the newspapers
thereupon took occasion to wax sem
her desperate attempt to escape from
slavery.
Escape from slavery! Why the
poor thi e never knew what slavery
was until she threw away her honest
name and went down into the hor-
rible slavery Of vice.
Her name isn't her own now. 1t
belongs to the police. She's suspi-
cious character and can be arrested
anywhero, anytime. on any pretext,
and thro "n into a pen with the out
casts of umanity and she has no re-
dress Of any kind.
Her soul isn't her own. Her mind
isn't her own. Her poor Wretched
body dos not belong to her now.
Why even. the clothes on her back
are bought and paid for by the cru
elesr kind of slave driver. A slave
driver who will make her pay in ag-
ony and in humiliation and in tears
for every thread she wears.
Slavery! Why the man in the
chain garg is as free as air compared
to this poor slave 0. her own folly.
A slave was she when she worked
honestly for an honest living. Well,
then, who is free?
The mother with her little brood
| clinging to her skirts?
The wife who cannot go from one
place to another without asking her
husband?
The society leader who hasn't an
hour to call her own within the
| twenty-four.
Slavery! Why II work and re-
sponsibility be slavery, no decent,
honorable human being is free or ev-
er will be.
Who, are these daughters Of lax
ury who imagine that they can es-
| cape the common fate of common hui
manity?
Does a stenographer' tooth ache
any harder than the tooth of this wo-
man who dares to try believe herself
| free her license, liberty?
Is it any easier to grow old with
| the scorn Of the world to face than
| it is to slip into the meridian Of life
with the respect of your little circle
and the love of your few devoted
friends?
Who ave you, poor, foolish little
thing, that you could not bear to
| work for a living like the rest of
the honest women in the world?
A wage slave! / hate that ex-
preston. A wage free woman. That
| suits me better.
