hand. | am not one of those super
latively refined people who refuse to
touch the paper called the Menace
even with pair of longs l regard
that paper as fulfilling very i'm
portant function at this time, espec-
tally by printing some things that
can not find voice in our daily press
Here is something that apparently
would not have reached the public
eye but for the Menace
Some eight years ago, two broth
ers, of ST. Paul, Mimi, who had made
large fortune in real estate, were
induced to purchase a ten thousand
acre ranch in the State of Morelos,
Mexico. In order to secure the best
possible returns for their investment,
they made very careful selection of
an astute, and experienced Mexican
manager of the ranch, who proceeded
to put up such new buildings as were
required to insure success.
The St. Paul brothers were Hber-
ais; in fact, atheists in their own be-
lief; however, after due consultation
with their Mexican manager, the first
buildings to be erected and renovated
were a priests house and a church,
large warehouse for storing and pro-
tecting the products of the ranch be-
ing the third consideration.
Mexico City contains some four
hundred millionaires, whose great
profits have been made by employ
ing priests to exploit ignorance and
fear to reduce the cost of labor to
the minimum, and in the last ten
years considerable number of
American capitalists have bought
ranches Of this character, and are
participating in the Spanish-Ameri-
can method of regulating the labor
problem"
have frequently heard Mexico
city philanthropists deeply concerned
in 'uplift' work upon return from
their visits to great haciendas en-
plOylng from one to three thousand
FAMILIES and covering a territory in
Guiding a half-dOzen villages, expa-
tlate upon the beauty and spirituality
OF the work Of these priests on the
ranches between the WOrkmen, or
differences between man and wife
(not One-tenth of whom were ever
united by legal marriage) are able,
with word and a blessing, to bring
harmony into the home and dispel
frOWn or relax a clenched fist.
On these ranches the entire labor
problem and the regulation of the
nome affairs of the people are placed
IN the hands of the priests, with the
result the people are all illiterate
and debased. They know nothing
about their rights as citizens. What
ever voting is done is by the ranch
owners. The priest is fed and
housed in the most sumptuous fash
ion. The finest food and viands are
supplied for their tables. Their
word is law. These priests are held
ABOVE criticism, and there are now
at least eight million of Mexicos
population living under this form of
control, purely in the interest of
their economic and political masters.
The reader may wonder how it
comes to pass that in a community
so completely under priestly control
nine-tenths of the couples are living
together without marriage. The ex-
PLANTATION of this state of things is
given by Jasper T. Moses in his
charming book, which every one
should read, entitled To-day in the
Land Of Tomorrow"

quite so--quite so. Everything
points to the fact that we must begin
work at once-or abandon the enter
prise for all time. And this involves
a financial sacrifice that appalis me"
You mean the abandoning of the
work."
Precisely. For long time have
believed that that alternative must
not be considered"
1t was in Allan's mind to say that
Mr.. Lloyd had managed to keep the
conclusion to himself with remark
able success, but he wisely refrained.
Instead. he declared boldly:
Give me the right to use your
name and personal credit. Mr.. Lloyd,
and I'll begin work tomorrow night
Again the financier nodded and AL
lan's heart bounded with exultation.
Il have had something OF the sort
in mind for some time, my boy" he
said When you decided to play the
hermit--and even before that time
I had thought some Of making the
venture. or at least talking it over
with you. but Ethel here He
broke off with a teasing laugh.
Allan started and looked quickly
at the girl She flushed a deep red.
Don't pay any attention to fathers
jokes, Mr.. Allan" she pleaded.

new turn he would have to weigh
things a little more carefully. Allan
left without the semblance of q def
mite assurance of new backing. Once
more despair was reaching out for
him.
But there was no return to the
old apathy. He felt the foil OF live
opponent now and suspected that this
opponent was the tall, fair haired
girl. He could not read her plans or
aims, but he felt that q contest was
still on-and for q tremendous prize.
So he was not unduly surprised when
Miss Lloyd appeared in his office at
Tunnel City one day, smiling and cor
dial. He had not seen her for weeks.
She shook hands with him without
the slightest trace of embarrassment.
I'm so glad ] found you in" she
said with a dazzling smile.
Then we both have a reason to
rejoice" he returned lightly.
THE DUEL OF WORDS
That is very gratifying declared
the girl Not the compliment,
got entirely out OF the way OF paying
them occasionally. Father and I were
afraid you were going back to your
hermit life when you came down here
again"
I'm too busy" he assured her.
while there's hope there's life.
Bravo" she cried. There is all
ways hope, isn't there? And. speak
Ing of that, father wants me to ask
you to come to dinner with us to-
morrow evening and go to concert
--if you think you can stand the
music
I'm sure could he returned. 1T
isn't the dread of the music that
would make me hesitate. But /
might say further that while there's
hope there's work"
She pouted ever so little.
oh. surely, Mr.. Allan, the work can
get along without you for few
hours"
4 don't know. he said, .doubtfully.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1913-11-04

ALLAN laughed and murmured some
thing inconsequential. His thoughts
were whirling. Ethel had given him
the impression that she had given
him over to her way OF thinking.
and her father had certainly implied
that she had caused him to withhold
the help that Allan needed more than
anything else in the world. A sus-
picion, which his lack of a certain
kind Of egoism caused him to reject,
flashed into his mind. He could not
explain EtheIs embarrassment or
fathom her motives in that instant.
and the conversation took on q
strained note which even Mr.. Lloyd
detected.
At last Ethel made some excuse to
withdraw and when she had gone her
father turned to Allan with an apollo
getic smile.
I'm probably in for scene with
Ethel" he said, whimsically. Pm
definitely as a protection, Mr.. Allan.
she is really your ally, Mr.. Allan, but
she has some pride in her old father.
and she did not think that all of the
advances ought to come from our
side"
Allan laughed and said that he UNI
derstood. but a short time later he
took his leave. Nothing definite was
fixed in the course Of the CONVERSE
ton, and he agreed to come again
within the week and have a more
detailed talk over prospective ways
and means.
Allan walked to his hotel. his mind
working busily to arrive at some ex-

him since his return from Europe. But

She felt certain that 1t was not work

generously. I'll call you UP at 4
sharp"
The next day at Allan regretted
over the telephone that he could not
possibly come to the city.
A LAST CHANCE
Allan had considerable pride of his
own. He had determined that he would
not appeal to Lloyd again excepting
as an absolutely last resort--and then
only when convinced that there was
no further prospect OF advances from
that side. He had one more desperate
card to play--an appeal to the federal
government.
He had no difficulty in obtaining all
the hearings he could desire with any
man whom he wished to approach. He
remained in Washington three weeks,
but at the end of that time he was
convinced that there was not the
slightest hope that the government
would take over the enterprise. He
returned to Tunnel city and worked
up an adroit scheme OF procedure,
which he submitted to yanderstyfft
one night at his club. vanderstyft
was vastly interested and promised to
take 1t up with Wittersteiner and
others.
Again Allan was full OF high hopes.
but within q week they were blasted.

she had told her father, when he was
willing to start the financial ball roll

vances should not come from the

taken the trouble to come to Tunnel
City. wayiay him and drag him into
an interview, in the face of his for
mer rudeness.
ONE CLEAR THING
One thing, at least. was clear
through all of It, Ethel wanted him
to think that If the tunnel enterprise
were rehabilitated he would have her
to thank for it-her and no one else.
But why? Allan flushed in the dark
ness of the winter night and felt
uncomfortable at the mere thought
that came back to him for the second
time He was not vain of his power
to attract women--he didn't know
that he had any such power. He
would have been surprised and en-
barrassed to learn 1T. And yet-what
game was Ethel Lloyd playing II not
a game of hearts? Why should she
advise her father to withhold offers
of aid and then put her pride in her
pocket and come to Tunnel City to
persuade Allen that with him on her
side her father could be induced to
give aid IL it were asked?
At any rate, 1t bchooved him, he
told himself. to walk with circum-
spection until he could see the mo-
tives and moves more clearly than at
present.
But there did not seem to be any
possibility OF clearer vision in the
near future. When he went to the
Lloyds' the next time Ethel was out
and her father talked evasively Of
the tunnel plans. There was much to
be considered-affairs had taken q

The Deception They Are Prac-
ticing On the Unemployed
Comrades.
Not Being Done by Chance
Advertiser in Socialistic
Organ.
THEY PRACTICE RACE SUICIDE

Some time ago Social Democracy
in Germany issued the slogan: mo
children for the present State" II
the slogan remained mere phrase
as so many Socialistic phrases do
enc might pass 1t by without further
comment, although it is an exhorta-
ton to race suicide, pure and simple.
But the comrades are not content to
permit It to remain a mere slogan.
The Socialistic Fraenkische Volks-
freund, appearing in Wuerzburg in
Bavaria, recently published an adj
vertisement offering unemployed
comrades decent income upon APP
plication to the Socialist Working
mems Secretariate. Upon application
Socialists we're told that this decent
income" could be secured by selling
Instruments and remedies by which
the number of births can be reduced.
1t will readily be realized that Il
requires a remarkable set of ethics
TO designate money so obtained as a
decent income" and to encourage
race suicide in this manner. And
this, mind you, is being done, not by
4 chance, Independent advertiser in a
Socialistic organ, but by the Socialis-
tic Workingman's Secretariate, a So
cialistic party office, in party organ.
The Secretariate directly advises and
encourages the sale of these instru-
ments and remedies.
This instance forms a parallel to
the publication, by the chief Socialist
party publication Office at Munich, in
Bavaria, OF a book on the same sub
ject, and the advertising of ii in the
Socialist Post published in the city
named. But the German Socialists
are not much more liberal" in their
views than are their American COM
rades. Only few weeks since the
Socialistic st. Louis Arbeiter Zeitung
tissue of August 16) contained the
following advice in the nature of a
reply to an inquiry from a reader:
