FORBIDDEN FRU


ment is frequently made that to
make socialism possible it would be
necessary to change human nature.
They follow this line of reasoning by
saying that human nature cannot be
changed.
In line with the above statement it
is said that greed, graft and Chican-
cry are properties of human nature
and by no means can they be Grad
icated. In only one way is this true
that the reward of greed, graft and
chicanery when placed within reach,
with the command that You shall
not eat of the forbidden fruit" will
always draw regardless Of the COM
-mand. That is human nature. A
command will not stop people.
The removal of the incentive is
the factor that OveTTides human de-
sire. When you remove the incentive
to ives people die. When you re-
move the incentive of dishonesty you
have honesty. The foregoing, of
course, should not be taken as abso-
lutte, for even the best of rules are
buDlCNL " CANCyLAO4ADs II 10 u NC LA4ok
there can be very few exceptions to
this rule.
When you remove the profit from
graft there will be no graft. When
you make impossible the private
ownership of that which is used col
lectively and, in addition to that,
compel every able-bOdied man to
work to live, you will eliminate the
profit of graft, for where the mere
possession of wealth does not entitle
you to leisure there will be no incen-
tive to seek leisure through possess
sion of wealth.
To merely state, You shall not eat
of the forbidden fruit" and leave the
fruit within reach, is not enough. The
fruit must be removed, branch, trunk

cannot be changed, but it can be di-

WHY 1T WANTS GUARDSMEN.-
The American working class should
write the Pacific Coast Business
mems Preparedness league for a copy
of its latest circular which deals with
preparedness. 1t is a gem, the most
perfect of its kind yet revealed to a
most guIible public There is no
doubt that it bases its plea for pre-
paredness" on the same reasons that
prompted the Morgan outfit to or
ganize the Navy league" and our
many other vOciferOus patriots-for
profit onIy-to establish the SecUr-
ity league, etc. I give herewith the
significant passages, paraphrasing
them somewhat:
Business men frequently placed
under burden of maintaining private
police force due to lack of sufficient
militia to take the field against labor.
Private force inefficient without mill
itary training"
'Doubly important, all employers
solicit personally their loyal and de-
pendabe empoyes to join their state
militia"
Every employee returning from
training camp of militia drill will
forthwith show himself more obedi-
ent and faithful and the trOUblemak-
er will disappear"
Thus preparedness" as Jngoes
and big business men advocate it, is
revealed in it's true two-fOld aspect
that of the armed fist backing the
exploitation of the weaker people,
and that same armed fist holding
down internal discomfort and labor
uprisings.
Surely-the world is awry. We have
become the slaves of the machines
we have created because we have let
a small class control them. That
class in its brutal disregard of ev-

Sooner or later that unceasing stream
of men issuing out of the narrow ue-
file must sweep us back. Always the

our deadly guns and magazine fire.
