THE BUNK OF REFORM

ing human about them.
We heart a lot of talk for and
against segregation of that part
of vice known as the social evil,
but darned little about the cause
of it.
It's easy enough to stir up a lot
of well-meaning reformers and
uplifters to sit in meetings and
listen to lectures, and to pass res
-olutions putting vice out of exist
ence-but that's about as far as
they go.
And vice goes on much the
same as it has gone on ever since
man and woman bit that apple in
the Garden of Eden.
The innocent uplifters either
don't know anything about the
cause of it, or, if they do know the
cause, they are afraid to go at it
with an axe.
And two of the contributing.
causes are men and money.
If young men could earn
enough to get married, raise
babies and support a family, there
would be more marriages, more
babies and more happiness-and
less vice and crime.
For young human beings have
the same impulse to mate and
have babies that the birds and
beasts have.
But Our industrial system is
such that a few control it, and in
order for them.to get richer than
anybody needs to be they pay
starvation, wages to the many,

who are poorer than anybody
ought to be.
Fortunately, however, the
greedy few haven't yet discov-
cred how to substitute ice water
for warm, red blood in human
veins-and the millions whose
veins run with the human blood
will never be satisfied until they
get enough of the product of
their labor to enable them to live
decently, to get married, to have
babies, to raise their families in
comfort and to educate these
babies.
We have darned little sympa-
thy for the employer who gets
rich by paying labor starvation
wages, but we have world OF
sympathy for the unfortunate
men and women who are driven
to desperation, to crime and vice
by the fear of starvation.
And we'll be strong for these
so-called moral crusades when
the crusaders get after the beasts
of men who are responsible for
the poverty, and hence the vice
and crime, of the so-called under
world.
The male reformerS who do
nothing but hunt down these I'M
fortunate sisters of the under
world are hypocrites and cow
ards. They'll kick even a woman
