ing class 1t must be our great work
to foil them in this attempt by building
UP strong anti-military psychology in
our own class.
Men of the working class must be
shown the true attiture of the array
and navy toward their class; sisters
and daughters of the working class
must use their influence with brothers
and fathers to prevent them from be-
coming murderers of their own kind;
proletarian wives must learn the truth
about militaTism in order to open the
eyes of their husbands to the capitalist
military game; above all, the mothers
of the proletariat must be taught to
train their boys from infancy to hate
the game of professional murder and
inculcate in them the strongest feel
ings of class loyalty.
We are going to bring about the So
cial revolution. We want to accomplish
it without the loss of blood, and it is
pretty safe to assume that much as the
masters prize their position in society,
if it's retention necessitated the risk

up, and to cinch the matter will very
likely infiict upon you the hoary tale of
the Irishman who was willing to di-
vide up what he did not have, but balk-
ed at proposition. to divide up his own
meager store. After you have, at great
risk or mortality offending him, pointed
out that he has nothing that anyone
would wish to share with him unless he
plays his "dividin'" game with the
mongrel cur ON the street, who would
probably take the whole bone, you may
make it clear to him that Socialists do
NOT believe in 'fdividin' up"
A woman's first objection would
likely be that Socialists are opposed to
religion. If you ever succeed in ban
ishing this bugabood from her mind
you are on the high road to making
her a Socialist When you have con-
WINGED her that Socialism would not
make her "free1over', would not
compel her to wear certain kind of
hat with the feather at a specified an
gle nor gown whose pattern is de-
signed by the state, you may explain
to ther the economic plan of the move
ment.
AT last, after you have played upon
the entire scale of their objections
they wild weakly assure you that they
know nothing about Socialism, fact
which you could have told them when
they began to speak.

Train the Boys Against MiIitarism.
The wave of military activity and
show that is sweeping over the United
States is no mere accident. Every
where are military demonstrations, pa
rades, Grand Army reunions, exhibits
of war relics and plenty Of cheap clap
trap about patriotism" The Dick
military law has made Of the entire
cftizenry of the nation a potential war
force; the youth of the country a.e
being trained Z in military service
through various boys movements,
against the time when they will come
under the provisions of the Dick law;
and, strange Inconsistency! the apos-
ties of the Prince of Peace" are
altering the spirit of militarism in the
church. At military demonstration
IN Wheeling, w. Va, some time ago the
best-drilled company of boys was that
trained by the Catholic church, while
other churches were also guilty OF
hurting the insult of martial display in
the face of the meek and 1owly Naza-
rene. On all sides preparations are
being made for-Mhat? One. would
judge from these activities that the
United States is getting ready for wal
II SO, then who is the enemy for whom
we are preparing our deadhest powers
of destruction?
This is the question that is oound
to agitate the minds of the thoughtful
man who knows that In the event of
war he may be con1p6lled by law to
fight. 1t is bound to more seriously
disturb the mind of the thoughtful! wo-
man, who knows that in case of war
she may be forced to contribute to the
slaughter something dearer to her than
her own life-the lives of father,
brothers, sweetheart, husband or sons
And as the sape of pebble reveals to
the geologist the action of stupendous
geological forces of am age long past,
SO single incident, simple enough OF
itself, may contain the wherefore of
the present military activity. Such an
incident may be found in the petition
of leading capitalists for REGIMENT
OF INFANTRY TO BE STATIONED
AT GOVERNORS ISLAND FOR THE
PROTECTION OF WALL, STREET
AGAINST THE MOB.
Why does Wall street after all these
years, suddenly find itself in such
fear of ''the mob" as to demand special
protection? Is it because the magnates
can read the signs of the times and are
Terrifying themselves and their bloody
gold against the time when the class
struggle will eliminate in a civil war ?
History shows that no ruling class
ever gave up its rule without strug-
gle; the present ruling class will doubt.
less prove no exception to this rule and
will count upon the organized forces OF
society, the army and navy, for their
chief support. With these organized
forces of men drilled in the arts of war
and trained to blind obedience to con
stituted authorities, they hape to beat
down the unorganized mass of the
working class, .'the mob.
This, time wild show, is one of the
greatest problems facing the Socialist
movement, the problem cd dissipating
the pernicious influences of military

A Useful Dress for Fall.

A useful all around frock for warm
days is made from one of the new figur-
ed crepes, the background of which is
dark blue with close set, broken fig
ure in puppies and blacks. The skirt
is simply draped to the left side and
the sash is made of black nore ribbon.
The bodice opens at the front, su.
plice fashion, and is filled in with black
net, over which are turned tiny revers
OF cream batiste embroidery with a
square collar of the same at the back.
The sleeves reach to the elbow with no
easily soiled ruffles to finish them, but
with quite deep, straight frills of black
net with picot edge. This is a gown
that would come in well for hundred
occasions and in which one would GER
tainly always feel smartly dressed.

Thoughts Of a rhinkress.

What mental contrOtions the op-
ponents of Socialism perform in their
attempts to "kill' the movement! At
one time we are told Socialism would
destroy all personal liberty and make
us all simply cogs in the wheel of a
great state machine. Again we are
Uniformed that Socialism would permit
of so much liberty that we would be
subject to no restraint and consequent
ly, would become libertines. Verify,
the mind of a capitalist apologist is a
strange combination of contradictions
and Inconsistencies.
Tell the average woman that she is
naturally wicked and Immoral and she
will resent your charges as an insult.
But let priest or preacher tell her the
same thing IN effect by saying that if
she were made free she would become
a bad woman, she will accept the in
suit as gospel truth and hug her chains
to her in the fallac1ous belief that they
protect her virtue.
Anti-SociaMsts who claim that under
Socialism women will become common
property" forget two important things:
First that women will cease to be
property when Socialism is ushered
in; second, that women will have a
full share in shaping the affairs of life,
including their own destinies, and that
whatever they may become they will
be because bhey wish to be.
~: 49,
The apostles of capitalism admit that
the aim of Socialists is to make com
mon property of what is now, private
property publicly used. Then they raise
the panic-stricken cry that we would
make. common property of women.
They must then regard women now as
private property publicly used!" This
conception of womanis& status in society
may satisfy some women, but some
how Socialist women are wicked"
enough to want to get out of the horse
and dog class.
