Thus arose petty bourgeois Socialism. s;i5mondi was the head of this school not only in France but also in England.
 This school of Socialism dissec ted with great acuteness the con tradlctions in the conditions of modern production. IL laid bare the hypocritical apologies of e.. conomlsts. It proved ;ncontrover tlbly, the disastrous effects of machinery and division of labor. the concentration of land and capital i'll a few hands; 'overpro- duction and crises; it pointed out the inevitable ruin of the petty bourgeois and peasant, the mis- cry ofthe proletariat, the anar- chy in production the crying inc qualities in the distribution of wealth, the industrial war of ex termination between nations.the dissolution of old moral bonds of the old nationalities.

The feudal aristocfscy Wa, not

The feudal aristoc;a,y Was not the only class that was ruined by the bourgeoisie, not the only class whose conditions of exist ence pined and pcrished in the atmosphere of modern bour- geois society. The medieval burgesses and the small peasant bourgeoisie, were the precursors of the modern bourgeosie. h those countries which are but little developed, industrially and commercially, these two classes still vegetate side by side with the rising bourgeosie.
 In countries where modern civilization has become fully de- veloptd, a new class of petty bourgeois has been formed, fuc- tuating between pro'etariat and tourgeoisie, and ever renewing itself as a supplementar part of bourgeois society. The individu- al members of this class, how ever, are being constantly hnrl- ed down into the pro.etaria. by the action of competition, and as modern industry develops, they even see the moment ap- preaching when they will cem- pletely disappear as an indepen- dent section of modern society to be replaced in manufactures agriculture and commerce, by over]ookers, bailitfs and shop men.

Homage To Women.

One of the proud boasts of civilization is the considera- tion and respect accorded women by men. Men instinc- lively feel that women are Trailer and of a more finely organized nature than then1- selves, and are entitled to special consideration and def erence at their hands. The idea permeates song and sto- ", but 1t did not spring up with civilization. It can be traced back to a remote pe' riod in the history of the race. Savages, before the dawn of civilization paid a homage to women that was true and pure, not because they were the weaker sex The sturdy oak and clinging vine idea dil not exist then but because they were the mothers of the race. ltwas an instinct implanted in the human makeup for the pre- servation of the race.
 <; But homage to women not withstanding our boasts and sentimental protestatlons seems to be on the decllnes and in many cases dead alto gether, killed by the greedy commercial spirit of the age.
 Witness for instance the the recent scenes in Cobra do, Michigan, and other pla' ces where American Cos sacks, thugs, and gunmen rode down, clubbed, bayone1 ed and shot helpless womer without mercy. The pariaf dog of Constantinople, tht iackal of the desert, the low est of their species andl tht meanest of all creation, vii not maltreat the female o: their kind, but at the com mand of industrial master these uniformed and comml stoned products of civiliza ton, who boast of their re gard for womenkind, do no

DIVORCE RECOMMENDED
FOR ROBERT B. BOWLER
Special Master Knight Thinks Mrs.
Bowler Deserted Husband in not
Living With Him.

Special Master Herbert w. knight
has reported to Chancellor Walker in
Trenton that in his opinion Robert
Bonner Bowler is entitled to a di.
vorce from his wife, Mrs. Charlotte
E. Bowler, daughter of Jacob W. Mil.
Ter, of this town, on the grounds OF
desertion. The special masters opin-
ion was based on the refusal of Mrs
Bowler to live with her husband in a
home he had rented at No. 81
Maple avenue, this town, where upon
they separated in July, 1912.
According to the testimony, Mr.
and Mrs. Bowler were married at St
Peters church, June 80, 1905, Bishop
Greer performing the ceremony. Aft.
er living in Denver several years Mr.
and Mrs. Bowler returned east and
eventually made their home with
Mrs. Bowler's parents at "Maccul-
loch Hall" According to the report
the couple lived happily for about a
year and a half and then began to
quarrel over trivial matters with the
result that about Easter 1911, while
Mr.. Bowler was street commissioner
of Morristown, Mrs. Bowler withdrew
herself from intimate companionship
with her husband although continuing
to live with him in her fathers home.
In July, 1912, Mr.. Bowler rented the
Maple avenue house and according to
his testimony Mrs Bowler refused
to join him again. According to the
report the two children of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bowler, Robert, aged eight, and
Katherine, six, lived half of the year
with their father and the other half
of the year with Mrs. Bowler, the
father contributed $3.50 a month to
their support.

Plans and specifications for the new
post office building are being exhibit
ed by Postmaster Eugene S. Burke, to
contractors and others interected
The new building will be a handsome
structure of red brick with marble
trimmings and a tile roof. 1t will be
two stories high in the front and one
story high in the rear over the post
office work room and will occupy an
area of 5,742 square feet. 1t will be
sixty-six feet wide along Morris street
and eighty-seven feet deep along Du-
mont place. A six foot cement side
walg will be constructed along the
front and the Dumont place side and
vitrified brick driveway will rum
a'cng the east side leading to court
paved with a vitrified brick in the
rear of the building. A marble-faced
retaining wall surmounted by an orn-
amental fence surrounds this court.
The building will be seventeen feet
from the sidewalk on the Morris
street front and six feet from the
walk on the Dumont place side. Grass
plots occupy the vacant spaces on the
three sides of the building and on the
south side of the driveway.
Steps of white Georgia marble lead
up from the sidewalk to the entrance
which is constructed in the form of a
loggia. The post masters Office is in
the northwest corner of the building
leading off from the loggia. The
stairway leading to the second floor
occupies the other corner. Beyond
the loggia lies the public lobby with
the various windows and call boxes
opening from it. On the side toward
the driveway is the money order and
registery department with the money
order and registery and the postal
savings windows opening on the lob
by. At the back are the stamp win
dows, the general delivery window
and the call boxes.
A passageway leads from the lobby
