EVENING HERALD APPLIES
SOCIALIST PRINCIPLE OF
ECONOMIC DETERMINISM,
Material Basis of Moral Codes
Exemplified
HARD TIMES MAKE DIVORCES
LESS IMMORAL TO PRoFITEERs

Everybody knows, or ought to know,
that many of our patriotic forefathers,
including Honorable John Hancock,
were criminals, to-wit smugglers.
They needed the money. The God
fearing blue-law colonists did not
think i'll of these worthy founders of
this great republic" Most of them
were in on the profits; which makes
whole lot of difference in both
morals, law, and religion.
Chattel slavery was very immoral
in the eyes of men and women who
could derive no coin of the realm from
buying, selling, or working negroes.
and a Bible-sanctioned Heaven-ordain-
ed institution to those who found chat
tel slavery profitable. And just so,
not many years ago, it was considered
sin to work on holy days, this or
that saints day. But the rise of CAPT.
talism made holy days, or holidays,
more or less a nuisance to profit
mongers, who had to pay the cost of
wage-slave's keep" whether he
worked or prayed. So the prayers
were cut out, or curtailed, or made
on the wage-slave's own time-that
is, bedtime. Only two or three years
ago the Pope announced that certain
still observed holy days-holidays-
need not be observed as formerly.
The profit-mongers had put his Holt
ness wise, and prayers had to make
way for profits, as always.
Now comes Reno with its example
of how profits affect the laws and
morals of a community During the
prosperous days Of the gold-field
PUSHES, Reno got all swelled up to i'm
aginary metropolitan dimensions; be-
lieved it had a future" based upon
substantial backing great desert
that was to be made to blossom and
bloom like the Garden of Allah, or
something. But it didn't happen that
way. So Reno needs its divorcee col
ony it's prize ring, roulette tables,
anything, in fact, that will bring grist
to it's mills. And here is how the
Everett Herald unconsciously sub
scribes to the great Socialist prin-
ciple of historical materialism-the
principle that mans institutions spring
from and are controlled by the econ
omic necessities of the ruling class:
The country should not be too
harsh in its criticism of the back
sliding Renoites. All know that
to keep aloft on the pinnacle of
municipal morality Is a dizzy
achievement and that those who
hold that precarious position ever
and anon take disastrous tumbles.
And there's always a good rea-
son for those tumbles,-aside from
sheer dizziness. Reno had the d.
vorce business developed to fine
point and then Nevada reformed
and Reno's industry was dead in
night. And at about the same
time prize fighting went into
eclipse, chiefly because white
hopes were only hopes. So here
was Reno, doubly stricken, and
the Reno purse was afflicted. And
then came the European war and,
of course, the democratic tariff,
Reno simply was forced to re-
coup So the natural thing to do
was to start the divorce mill
grinding again. Doubtless Ne
vada's moral convictions on the
question remain unchanged:
they've simply been laid away in
mothballs until a day comes when

loyal Americans to place themselves

The man who for selfish gain or mis-

not or will not remain loyal should
be given notice to leave the
