Prostitution is increasing in this
country at an alarming rate. 1t is in
creasing precisely because the wage
system is increasing.
Because the girl is in the factory
when she ought to be in school
Because the woman can get more
for her virtue than she can for her
labor power.
Because the workngman cannot
support a wife.
Because the girl must become a
wage Garner, instead Of a wife.
Wives, if you want to see a chaste
manhood developed on this earth,
study socialism.
Mothers. If you want to raise your
boys and girls in purity and strength.
and keep them with you In the home
until they are full grown and matured,
study socialism.

THE YELLOW PERIL.
A PAPER on the Months Biggest Event
In Everett, Easily Understood by
Those Who Were There.

About one hundred comrades were
gathered at the Labor Temple last
Sunday evening at the weekly meet
ing of the Socialist Local No 6 of Ev.
erett. There had been many rumors
of dark deeds and the "legalists' had
sent to the fatherly city to secure as
speakers of the evening two of the
more cultured and refined specimens
of that class of malcontents known as
undesirable citizens, to enlighten, If
possible the sinners" and "impossi-
bilists" Many and elegant were the
speeches before that horde Of ruffians
were the pleadings of
the more educated members of that
organization that they should hear
these polished and educated gentle
men from Seattle. But to no avail
The real slaves were many and they
said NEVER, and said 1t loud too.
All Think you that horde of rough
necks were victorious?

Following Precedent
By Anna Morton Barnard.


Johnny, you have brought in only
few eggs lately. Amt the hens lay
ing now?"
81 took two dozen to school, and
give them to Jim Owens for his ma.
She amt got no eggs"
What" exclaimed the mother.
Did you actually give them eggs
away?"
Eyes, we had all we could eat, and
couldn't sell them. When sold the
last to Mr.. Smith he said the market
was flooded, and that he couldn't take
any more till there was fewer eggs
and more people to buy them. You
know he only give us five cents a
dozen then, and you said it wouldn't
pay for me to carry any more to his
store"
you blockhead! Don't you see, by
giving eggs to Mrs. Owens it keeps
the like of her from buying at Smiths
and spells the demand for our eggs
Besides, we can't afford to give any
thing away, and Mrs. Owens ought to
have eggs of her own. Don't give way
any more eggs" she ended peremptor-
lily.
Johnny Summers was thoughtful
boy He had not learned much from
his parents, who INDUCED but little in
exchange of ideas. They discussed
matters in a positive sort of way, as
if all problems had been settled, par
ticularly in household and farm eco
Monies. Johnny asked but few ques-
tions, and in his boyhood experiences
it had been his habit to come to con-
illusions alone, and to act independent
ly. Hitherto, his wisdom had been
sufficient to keep him out Of trouble;
but now, the rebuke for his generous
act with the eggs brought him face to
face with grave things that staggered
him. There was the question to set
tie, why can't we give way what
amt worth nothing?" And this led to
others which involved him in the in
tricacies of supply and demand.
Prices Of eggs at the small trading
point up on the railroad had always
fluctuated, and no one knew on any
day before reaching Smiths store
what sum could be obtained for them
No one was gladder than Johnny when
he sometimes found that the price had
gone up. even a few cents, and no one
was more keenly disappointed than he
was when he had to return home with
much less than he had hoped to get
for his basket of eggs. IL was his Gus
tom to carry them to market two miles
on foot after he had gathered them
from an directions, from the barn
from the grauary. from nests in fence

those same men who had to congre-

my. you mustn't consider for a moment
that a man of integrity could afford
to be seen talking from a soap box.
And then he told about the printing

ing one vote He run it to suit him
self presume. for he didn't elucidate
any upon the management Of said
plant. How he did whack it to that
disreputable sheet, The Common
wealth. Why he even said they only
had a few thousand mailing list.
Then he sure handed it to those
Porkchoppers, but somehow he absent
mindedly forgot to say who would be
Porkchopper if the present Pork
choppers were not Porkchoppers.
Did those horrd Reds come back at
him?
Did they? Well just a trifle. And
then the crowd left. But not all OF
them left. oh no, don't think I'm try
ing to mislead you.
Those that had the qualities that
go to make citizens of responsibility
integrity and patriotism to the class
that is back of that newly formed or

he feared that the last named gent

with suppressed fear. "All the boys
in the neighborhood are doing it," he
added desperately. Johnny Summers
said they burnt cotton to raise the
price-none of us could get anything
for eggs" he went on, whimperingly.
Mrs. Sands, apparently somewhat
appeased, approached a log near by.
Come here, Uriah, and set down."
she commanded. The boy doggedly
took his place on the log. do you
know" the mother began, chat there
are lots of people in the world who
need eggs?" Uriah bowed his head.
Think of the many hungry people
somewhere, who might "a had our
eggs" she continued with a mixture a
mixture of rebuke and pity How
glad they would be to have what you
boys have wasted" Noticing Uriah's
lips quiyering with emotion, she
abruptly concluded her accusing. "To-
morrow get all the eggs you can, and

Uriahs face frightened. ma, we
did raise the price, didn't WEI" he
ventured cautiously; "and didn't they
raise the price of cotton too?"
81 don't care if they did," the moth
er replied impatiently GO to your
father, He will tell you about the
.sacredness of property 1 hear him
talk of property rights, and the wrong
in destroying things. Property and
eggs sounds like the same thing to
me. 1 know it's sin to destroy any
thing'
Within another day the small as
sociation of price manipulators was
vociferously scolded and threatened.
The crime against large numbers of
hungry people, who might have been
fed with eggs, was duly enlarged upon
to suppress further tampering with
problems that older heads could not
settle. Some of the offenders escaped
physical violence from parents only
because the wrong done seemed to be
partially offset by the good fortune
in now having an open market.
A few days afterward the humiliat-
ed egg traders met at recess by the
side of hazel thicket at the back of
the school house. They were crest
fallen and subdued having been seri-
ously impressed with the gravity of
their action. Destruction of prop
erty" was a very serious thing to
them now.
Uriah said to Johnny, solemnly,
"Jim Owens ma could a used them
eggs" Others made similar short OBJ
servations, indicating regrets for the
part they had taken in the conspir-
acy. Johnny, the instigator of the I'M
popular move, replied: Anyhow, my
ma and yours too, can get ten cents
dozen now. Could they a got it If
we hadn't done nothing?"
With this reply he dismissed the
subject, and turned to go back to the
school house. But he was not salts
fled For days afterward he was not
free from the unanswered question,
"Why did they have to burn cotton
which we needed for clothes, so the
cotton raisers could get a fair price?
If it's a sin to break up eggs" he
pondered, ut must be sin to burn
cotton"
Johnny could not settle it.
