REWARD FOR TOLL
THE ONLY SOCIALISM

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
In the Mail Bag Of September 10, 1911,
1 read an article signed by H. g. L. The
writer seems to be trying to knock"
socialism by saying that two great Eu-
ropean Socialists were married by mu-
tual consent" If the above statement is
correct 1t is no argument for or against
socialism. Socialism is a method where
by all who render any service in pro-
duction, distribution. or exchange shall
receive the full benefit of their labor
II. S. L. might Just as well say that
because a professed Christian practices
bigamy, then Christianity is a great
evil and teaches bigamy. H. s. L. does
not pretend to understand socialism
thoroughly, yet he says he knows 1t Is
a great evil.
When the people of this or any other
country become intelligent enough to
establish a Socialist republic; they
will very likely be intelligent enough to
solve any question which may confront
them, including the marital question.
/ wish to state that a very large ma
joHty of aEti-Socialists are prejudiced
and bigoted and are also fighting their
own industrial emancipation It Is the
duty Of each and every individual that
has any interest in the betterment Of
his own condition or that OF any other
human being to study socialism thor
oughly.
The statements by H. S. L. are ridicu-
are so many more people benighted In
the same way.
There IS but one kind of socialism. and
that is to teach the workers how to
get full reward for their toll

AFFINITY" INSTANCES
NO GENERAL PROOF

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
A letter appeared in your mail bag
recently that rather interested me. It
was almost pathetic in its endeavor to
get somewhere and land" on some one;
preferably, much preferably, Socialist.
The writer was moved to action by the
replies "a Gentleman" received from
''the cranks" and fanatics who had,
in their way. dissented from the views
put forward by the Gentleman" afore-
said. Straightway "H. 8. L." appears
on the scene astonished and Mortified
that any one should differ with the
views of the gentleman" and, after
moments hesitation as to whether OF
not It would be better to Silence these
fanatics" by ignoring them utterly. !"
he finally descends from his height and
loftily hands them a sort OF leone lei
us reason together" It is very kind of
him, and very thoughtful; but We can
not help remarking that his reasoning
Is almost as puerile as his aninnus n
pronounced. To prove that Socialism
destroys the marriage bond, he erayely
tells us that ut Is a we'll known fact
that two great European Socialists were
married by mutual consent" Dear!
deari Isn't that awful, Mabel? We
might be interested If 1t even suggested
a proof of his statement that Socialism
destroys the marriage bond. Yet Ne
hands It TO us as something which has
evidently completely satisfied him. !

LETTER OF SYMPATHY
FOR BINFORD GIRL
TO the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES: y
would suggest that the writer Of the
editorials for The Times write a letter
to Beulah Binford assuring her of the
sympathy of all good, broadminded
people, who believe in one standard of
morals, and who believe that If women
cannot be protected from bad men, they
should be forgiven for the sin which was
forced upon them df any of 1t really
belongs to them, which / doubt) and
helped to the right way again. Let 1t
be placed in the office of The Times
where the public may have access to 1t,
for week or two, to sign their names,
then let it be published and a copy
sent to her -(B. b. that she may see
that there are some real Christians in
this seemingly one-sided, uncharitable
world
II never seems to occur to some OF
us that the majority of men should be
social outcasts If so-called bad women
are. / cannot understand how the
same act can be looked upon as sin
for one and right for the other.
How do you reason 1t out? Can any
one explain 1t is not sane, It's idiotic.
Give the poor child the chance that
she has never had, to live right. 1t
may encourage other wronged women,
too, to try again. A. b. NEALE.

THE UNPOPULAR SIDE
IN BEATTIE CONTROVERSY

To the Editor of The Times:
Now that the popular clamor con-
corning the Beattie murder case has
subsidized to some extent, 1t seems a
fitting moment to present some features
of the unpopular side. In a letter in a
recent issue of The Times, signed p.
]. Ryan, the writer criticises those
people who are criticising the jury YER
dict CHASING them as lawyers, preach
ers, doctors, and "sentimentafists' So
1t appears from his showing that q
rather good class Of people, at any rate,
though few In number, have been
calling the jury to account: profess
sional people, and people Of sufficient
refinement to be dubbed Sentimental
lists" are not to be ignored, even though
in the minority.
But, as for Mr.. Ryan's own opinions.
it does not appear that they will bear
logical analysis. He refers to the Jury
as honest" men, but does not make II
clear as to why they are to be regarded
as any more honest than the other
people mentioned. And, as for the re-
ligious feature of their proceedings,
by men just risen from their knees.
This Ii no reflection on real religion,
but upon some grim conceptions Of 1t.
And any psychologist will testify that
any man who goes down upon his knees.
with q preconceived idea in his head, is
apt to rise from his knees .'of the same
opinion STILL" Those jurors have

largely, mid which those honest knees
were bent, will some one inform us az
to what bearing that had on the YER

UNSEEMLY SCRAMBLE
FOR MARRIAGE FEES
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
A morning contemporary is at present
devoting considerable space to a bitter
contest going on between two Christian
ministers for marriage fees. The COM
petition between two rival Industrial
corporations for a profitable market
was never more bitter than is the COM
petition between Christian ministers in
the District of Columbia for marriage
fees. This unseemly scramble for some
thing that is held sacred by every
reputable Christian minister in the
community Is indeed deplorable.
The Rev. DR.. William l. McKenney.
pastor of the Wesley NJ. E. Church, i'm.
pressed with the notion that the Rev.
Mr.. Hunnicutt, of the Peoples Church,
was receiving more mar
riage fees than he was, made formal
to the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia that Mr.. Hunnicutt is not
a duly ordained minister Of the Gospel,
and demanded the revocation of the
license authorizing him to celebrate
marriages. The morning paper above
referred to espoused the cause of Dr..
McKenney to the prejudice Of MY.

LITTLE DOGS BARK
DOESN'T STOP THE MOON
To the Editor Of THE TINES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
On the 18th instant there appeared In
your paper a letter which asserted that
Confederate reunions were acts OF trea-
son, In the sight Of every loyal citizen.
and II should be a penal offense to ex-
hiblt the Confederate flag, to which
news every Grand Army man will don
his hat.
To every southerner reading the
above, there comes the impression that
some OF our Northern friends are keep
ing old wounds open, by insulting the
flag for which our fathers died, and
the cause for which they stood, and for
which, should occasion arise, the South
Of today would stand.
There are few hearts and homes in
Dixie in which the stars and bars have
not a prominent place. and yet we are
told this Is treason in the eyes Of every
loyal citizen. Surely, there are few
loyal citizens down South. We were
represented in the war with Spain.
The Grand Army men that come
South do not express such views while
here, and we refuse to believe they doff
their hats to such at home.
But. thank God. the little dogs bark
doesn't stop the moon from shining.
and it is possible that he may injure
himself by such foolish and fruitless
measures. LOYAL CITIZEN.

"AFFINITIES" PREVAIL
IN ALL PARTIES

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Viii you kindly permit me a little
space to answer Mr.. II. 8. L? Pray.
who said Socialists deny that some of
their members are married by mutual
consent The gentleman must be mis-
Informed. but may I ask would any
body be 50 stupid as ia call the whole
Republican party infidels lust because
Colonel Ingersoll vas one and also
very prominent as a Republican, II M.
II. s. L. would take the Il ouhle to in
GIire of any Socialist couple right here
In this city. he would find them-not
only married legally and respectable"
but-their married life above reproach,
which, II one Is rightly informed by the
daily papers. is not always the case
with some members of the other two
PARTIES.
Oh. sancta simplicitas! You'll never die
