ToBoGGANING.-N.


bogganing is being enjoyed by hun
dreds at Humboldt, Garfield and
Douglas parks, it is necessary to
stand in line blocn or more in length
before ones turn comes to take the
slide
At Douglas park certain toboggan
party made their appearance one
evening and, renting four or five sleds
for the occasion, would take a turn
down the slide and return Immediate
ly for another, going to the head of
the line, in front of those who had
been waiting for half hour or more,
this being continued for entire even
ing.
Why should such parties have a
special privilege, or special permit for
the slide when hundreds of others,
who are out to enjoy the sport just as
well, must wait their turn in line

ruEcE pDopocITIONS The

HESE HKOHO0l IONO. - 1HS
propositions of Sirfessor Superite
Wilkesbarre:
Exploitation is the first law OF
progress; 2-Socialism is brain dis
ease; 3-The conscious ego.
No. 1 is right: ''Exploit-to get
the value out of anything. Mr..
Webster's dictionary. Capitalism
can't distribute what it produces. AS
an agency of exploitation it must
fail. Capitalism cannot utilize the
labor-power of society. AS an agency
of exploitation, again it must fail.
No. 2 is right: Capitalism is
frenzy. Socialism is a reflection in
thought upon the alterations of cap
italism in fact. 1t shows the cause
and cure. It is a brain disease.
Also a muscle disease.
No. is right: Ego" in Latin,
means CO Conscious ego" you
can't fool me-" 1 say: "You can't
fool me, either" -.
1t is only when we see two con-
scious egos with opposite interests
that we begin to get an idea of the
classification of conscious egos. The
one, doing the work of the boss con-
scious egos, well protected, lords it
over the conscious ego, who, because
his ancestors left him nothing but
the world, has to peddle his labor to
exist and sheds crocodile tears over
the statements of capitalistic apollo
gists who call him cheap organ
izm,'' d" simpoleon" and his ideas
''nebuIosities.
Some conscious egos, who, being
well fed, yet realizing that some
thing is rotten, do not express their
material interests in such drastic
language, but in "sweeter reason
ableness" temper the wind to the
shorn lamb by advocating free milk
for babies.
And now let me offer proposition

THE HUNTING SEASON.

HE HUN lNG SEASON.-In6
season has again opened here in Chi
cago, but only for policemen and sa-
loonkeepers; so it don't matter.
No wonder the saloonkeepers are
shot by the boy bandits. The school
books, teachers and reformers tell
them what an awful thing drink and
the saloon is. All they hear from
preachers and in churches about the
saloon and saloonkeeper is that it
ought to be put out of business and
the saloonkeeper sent to Billy Sum-
days hell
The young hero has no more In
dams to fight, so he steps into beer
guzzeling hel-hole, takes drink of
ginger ale and kills the saloonkeeper.
HurTah, give the hero a big headline
in the paper. Have know-it-aIl re-
former show how statistics prove
that the saloonkeepers and the sa-
looms are the cause of the murders,
and try and have another law to cur
tail the privileges of 80 per cent of
the people, Saloonkeeper.

Editor Courier:
Those women of Iowa who helped
with pen or tongue to bring about SUI
frage in Illinois feel a glow OF satisfac-
ton when they read that over five nun.
dred thousand women in illinois VIII
vote for president in the coming natloh-
al election. We feel that we added our
mite to the sum total of human progress
and have a faint hope that when the
ballots cast for or against women sur
frage in Iowa last June are recounted'
that Iowa may be found in the column
of progressive states also.
II the claims of the suffraSists IN
Davenport and Dubuque are well SUD
stantiated. there will be cause for re-
toicing, for women suffrage VIII nave
carried in Iowa IL crooked voting IN
these cities is proven.
The Childrens Bureau, of which Miss
Julia Iathrop is the head, has recently
taken a government census OF the moth'
ers who die every year from causes
due to maternity Miss Lathrop SAID IN
a recent speech on woman suffrage,
that an average of fifteen thousand
women die every year from TINS cause
in the United States.
Most OF the deaths are due to neglect,
oyerwork, poverty and desertion OF
family. The ballot in the hands of wo-
men would aid in lessening the causes
OF these deaths.
The juggernaut OF modern civiliza :
ton. built up Of modern industrialism
and politics. rolls over and brushes most
heavily the ones least able to bear It,
the women and children.
suppose fifteen thousand American
soldiers were killed every year on the
Mexican border or in this or foreign
countries. What howl would go up
about IL. and something would be done
to lessen or stop 80 many useless
deaths.
But having no political right women
are counted for little or nothing. Ma
tire made them suffer, anyhow. and
they sought to bear their sufferings In
meekness, patience and "womanly sub
mission" or l suppose this Is the idea
about it. which is held by men VINO
voted against women suffrage.
