Which suggests two things:
 First, that winter is really here. and the buying of seasonable ap- parel may not be put off longer.
 Second, that preparations for the Christmas season should be under taken without delay.
 Those four weeks will pass very quickly-they always do and espe- cially for those who, are inclined to postpone the inevitable buying of ltsifts" until the rush begins.
 Much better to begin. now-to plan, and buy, and put away the things you will give later.

REPLIES 10 NIXoLA.-

REPLIES TO NIXOLA.-Last week
you printed an article by Nixola
Greedy Smith on Margaret Sanger, a
New York woman, who was arrested
there last September (thanks to the
Untiring vigilance of that unmiti-
gated nuisance, Anthony COmstock),
because Of her activity in placing in
the hands of the working women of
America the information regarding
the prevention of conception.
AS woman interested in all phases
of the economic problem, l have long
felt the great importance of dissem-
mating this knowledge among the
workers. It is a phase Of the eco
nomic problem which every serious
student of the subject will admit is
of vital consequence to the workers
in their struggle with exploitation.
Since reading your article 1 have read
all l could find bearing on the case
of Margaret Sanger and her husband,
William Sanger, and 1. feel that if
they are to suffer the punishment Of
the law for their courage in under
taking this much-needed propaganda
it will be a crime on the part of those
who should exert themselves in their
behalf, in behalf of the working wOm-
en- of America and in the interests Of

are good any one with enough money
can get around them; and if both
sides have plenty of money the one
with the most influence wins. So why
go to all the useless effort to voting
woman?
If she gained the ballot she could
not accomplish more than a majority
of men allied in the cause of right.
Now l begin to hear the Socialists
howl But I've got you coming or
going. There isn't a law needed but
what the Socialist men would put on
the statute books without the aid of
their women, and if they were in a
majority and won by political action
they would be counted out by direct
action.
I've wasted a lot of space, and all
I'm trying to get at is the fanacy of
political activity. Let's hear from
others.-A. E. Carver.

SUFFRAGE.-SOmehOw or other
I'd like to hear some good reason
why women should not have the suf-
frage. The hackneyed excuses here
tOfOre INDUCED in are too silly to
mention. If there were no greater or
better reasons I'd be for it, but some
how or other l am not.
The only argument I can find, how
ever, is that for more than a hundred
years man has been sUffraging and
suffering, and he hasn't gained one
thing for himself which he would not
have had otherwise. There are more
poor and worse laws, and if the laws

WAR HERE.-I want to call your
attention to the fact that besides the
war abroad we have one right here in
Chicago. If you do not vote right
this coming election you might have

machines. I also call your attention
to the injustice done to a few men

clubs on our workers read the Amer
