The Seventh Commandment

The world looks very dark today
to Meta looks family, to Meta looks
chum, to the two physicians indicted
for the death of Meta Zook, to a
number of young high school boys,
and to the fathers, and mothers of
those boys. The tragic death of an
1S-year-old girl, the revelations of
the 16-year-old chum, the disgrace of

thoughtful and sympathetic soul in
Kansas City.
/ 1t is not this one instance of sin
and sudden and severe punishment
that saddens us so; it is the many in

/ The case of wheat, the bread cereal,

crop was estimated at about 500, 0OO,-

show that the crop was 658,534,O 900

bands 70 secure subsistence and a
home of their own rather than from
personal affection or strong sexual
emotion. In state of society in
which all women were economically
independent, were all fully occupied
with public duties and social or in
tellectual pleasures. and had nothing
to gain by marriage as regards mater
ial well-being or social position. ii is
highly probable that the numbers of
the unmarried from choice would in
crease. 1t would probably come to
be considered degradation for any
woman to marry a man whom she
could not love and esteem, and this
reason would tend at least to delay
marriage till a worthy and Sympa-
thetiC partner was encountered.
In man, on the other hand, the pas
sion of love is more general and usu-
ally stronger; and in such a society as
here postulated there would be no
way of gratifying this passion but by
MARRIAGE Every woman, therefore,
would be likely 10 receive offers. and
a powerful Selective agency would
rest with the female sex Under the
system of education and public op!n-
ion here supposed, there can be little
doubt how this selection would be eX-
ercised. The idle or the utterly sell
fish would be almost universally re-
jected; the chr0niCally diseased or the
weak in intellect would also usually
remain unmarried. at least till an adj
vanced period of life while those who
show any tendency to insanity or eX-
hibted any conGenial dcf6rmity would
also be rejected by the younger wo-
men. because it would be considered
an offence against society to he the

eases or imperfectionS.
There are some, no doubt, who Will
object here even when women have a
free choice. owing TO improved econ

no one has the right TO make such
a statement without adducing very

know that such degradation is not
hereditary, and therefore not perman-

Percentage Of Exploitation
Continued from page y


The estimate made by the Socialist
Campaign Book is probably as good
as can be made. 1t expressly states
that it is only approximate and should
be So quoted.
The best way to prove that there
is vast exploitation is to point out
the capitalists who do nothing social
ly useful. but who, nevertheless, pos
seSs great wealth.
Point out the fact that they have
DrinceIy mansions, summer homes,
automobiles. yachts. Jewels eeorteous
clothes, etc.
Point out the fact that they in
duIbr in elaborate and COSTLY social
functions, that they 60 globe trottint

These things show at once that
they possess great wealth.
Where then do they e., all this
wealth?
Where could they get it ultimately.
except from the useful?
This proves. beyond the possibility
Of a successful denial that the per
centasc of eXpIuitage is large.
The precise figure is relatively I'M
important.
Again, We should never lose sight
Of The fact that the workers are not
only exploited out Of the most Of the
value of their labor. but they are also
deprived of most Of the opportunity
to produce.
Since capitalism has passed the

railway in private hands. he says.
London, Liverpool, Manchester, Biz
mingham. Bradford and all the other
1T great cities in that country own
and operate street railways at a pro-
fit. giving in return efficient and
prompt Service---a condition unknown
in those countries where the car
lines are in private hands.
As a result of municipal ownership
the resident of those cities have
better service, seat being given TO
every passenger. the tracks extended
to the outlying sections of the cities,
the fares have been reduced and the
distance the passengers are carried
has been extended.
Moreover. the wages of the employ
eeS have been increased and their
working hours have been shortened.
In Germany public ownership of
street railways prevails everywhere.
In Prussia over sixty-one electric
railways are owned by cities and
other public authorities. The king
dom of Saxony has three such roads.
and in other German states there are
twenty-five street car lines operated
by public authorities. making total
OF more than lightweight publicly
