''UNFORTUNATE WOMAN"
By Rev. Roland D. Sawyer.
And so the Capitalists Church
continues to teach it's working class
communicates to have large families
and the capitalist state continues to
make laws forbidding the working
mans wife having means at hand to
escape conception. Satisfactory and
safe means of conception can easily
be provided. and there is no release
for those unfortunate women, until
the state and the doctors change
their inhuman conduct. so they have
no more babies than they want or
can properly take care Of"
Neither Virtue nor Decency.
Comment on the above quotation
is unnecessary. have. several other
vile clippings from this Socialist or
this country or in any other country,
without the destruction of the fam
lily. Every educated Socialist recog-
nizes that fact.
Charles H. Kerr of Chicago, pub
Usher of Socialistic literature, speaks
of the present form Of marriage in
these words:
"A legal marriage in this country
today is contract by which the man
agrees to support the woman, and
the woman in return gives the con-
troll of her body to the man. The
prostitute and the woman who mar
ried without love for the sake of a
home are precisely on the same NOR
al level. Each has made fatal mis-
take. and each is living in the worst
kind of a hell that l know how to
imagine"
The Socialists Have Spoken.
think that have proved beyond
a shadow of doubt that Socialism
would destroy the family. Any man
or woman can verify my citations. I
have let Socialist authorities speak
for themselves, and my readers can
draw their own conclusions.
The most noted free-love marriage
which we have witnessed in the Uni
ted States was that of George D. Her.
ron and Miss Carrie Rand. Heron
was at one time a minister of the
Congregational church in Burling-
ton. Iowa. He left his virtuous wife
and four little children in 1901, and
took for his soul mate" Miss Rand,
who has since founded the Rand
School of Social Science" in New
York, the rendezvous. for all kinds of
radicals.
Socialist writer's tell us that under
Socialism. children do not belong to
their parents, but to society, and are
to be reared by the community. The
great Socialist authority on this sub
ject is Frederick Engels, and here is
his exact language: "The care and
education of children become a pub
lie matter. Society cares equally for
all children, legal or illegal" What
would become of the private house
hold? Why. it would disappear!
Under the new regime there would be
no prostitutes; but simply because
free love would reign supreme every
woman would be a prostitute, and
the sacred words, father and moth
err" would be heard no more.
The ancient Church still stands for
the family and the home. She stands
for the union of one man with one
woman. When Christ commanded
n,onogamy. He struck a deadly blow
at polygamy, which was then prac-

Free Love Taught in Glass Rooms.
Divorce and race suicide are eating
like a cancer into the vitals of the
American people. Our system of ed
ucation is turning out generation
of agnostics. Socialists and material
lists. that. unless all signs fail, will
eventually destroy this republic. It
is being taught in the classrooms of
several American universities that
the family as an institution is
doomed. and that there can be, and
are. holier alliances outside the mar
riage bond than within it. So we
find that Socialist doctrines are
preached in some Of our great insti-

It is about time that American
manhood and patriotism should be
alive to the dangers that threaten
the very life of this nation. Destroy
the family and all our existing insti-
