Du sier,
(Skrevet for DEBORAH Postcn".)

Du sier, gudsfrykt err din hjertets higen
og at du DANES kjerlig, retvis, from.
Et arens trim du har samfundsstigcn,
din plass kirken den err aldrig tom.
| gunstig livsens strid dig skjebnen satte;
Vorherre var dig meget god og huld.
Du har en- lade fluid av dyre skate,
og medgang hilser dig fra disk og muld.
Du er saa bra, som nogen sjel kan we're;
: du soker altid retferds maal og sti.
Og dog! du f9er som ct nag desverre,
der aldrig lar dig leve trygg og fri.
Der fattes noget du har flt Diet 1enge-
der fattes noget, trods din fest og fryd.
Det synes tdt, SON sjelens fine strenge
eli give kan den rette klang og lyd.
Der er ct tomrum nogenstcds derinde,
ct f~attigdommens tempel, din BARN.
Du proven tidt mot klarhet frem at fnde,
men tanken walker mitt kav og larm.
Maaske du glemte, under al din strepen,
at p1ante, pleie, tjene, lindre NOD?
Kanhsnde din bekjendese med lepen

En- lykkens lyse utvei er dig givet

=. LOVE. - Ever since the time Of
Plato philosophers have been search
ing for the causes which induce men
and women to become enraptured of
one another, but with no results.
In modern times thinkers have
been Influenced by the DaTwinian
theory of sexual selection in humans
as in animals.
Biologically, nature selects for the
good of the species. This is quite
true of the lower animals and also of
primitive man, but it does not hold
good for modern man. When ma
ture selects biolOgically it cares not
about human society; it cares only
for the preservation of the physical
type. Polygamy and mOnogamy are
not taken into consideration when
nature holds sway. For it matters
not to Mother Nature whether wom-
an bears children to one man or to a
dozen men.
But human love goes further. Man
in the process of his mental eVolU-

BIRTH CONTROL A FALLACY.-
George Washington, our first presi-
dent, was the oldest of five children.
Patrick Henry, the great orator of
the Revolution, was the father of Is
children.
Benjamin Franklin was the third
youngest of II children.
Richard ATkwTight, the great in
ventor, was the youngest of Ii chill
dren.
If birth control had been practiced
in the early days of our history many
of the most illustTiOus of our states
men, generals, etc., would never
have seen daylight.
We do not need knowledge of birth
control. What we need is knowledge
which will enable us to abolish I'M
deserved poverty.
AS long as every human being
comes into the world equipped with
all his faculties and members, his ad-
ditiOn to society constitutes a source
of additional wealth. There is more
wealth existing in the U. S. at pres
ent than when the country was
sparsely settled, which is due to more
people being here. The reason we
have poverty amid great wealth is
because of laws, brought over from
Europe, which make this country it
self the absolute private property of
only a part of the people instead of
all.
A simple illustration will show how
this works out. Suppose that Lake !
Michigan, instead of being common |
property, as at present, were legally !
the property of individuals. If the |
lake property increased thousands Of !
per cent in value it would affect the |
distribution of wealth to that extent /
Suppose, further, that the lake
contained all the raw materials
which were needed in order to make
everything that was desired. Don't !
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-05-02

you see that the fortunate lake owne
ers would be able to collect tribute
from every form of human activity?
Suppose that every square foot Of
the lakes surface was valued at hun
dreds of dollars, would not this indi-
cate that the rewards of industry
went to lake monOpOlists in every in
creasing amounts, while the prOdUc-
ers got less all the time?
Substitute earth ownership for
lake ownership and see whether it
does not work out the same way.
If Mrs. Sanger had been living in
the days of negro slavery, instead of
advocating liberty under the law for
the blacks, she would have advised
the slaves, as she now advises the
wage slaves of private earth owner
ship, ito refuse to supply the labor
market with children to be exploited
by refusing to populate the earth
with slaves"
Had the anti-slavery people advo-
Gated birth control instead of abOli-
ton the slavery question of the early
COS would still be unsettled. - J.
Weller.

good job out of it, 1 advise you to
organize the Katzenjammer Kids, Abe
Kabibble and Skinny Shaner to help
our veterans lick the wild man down
there, because our harsh president
won't listen to you.-Abe Holman.

Let me repeat two true stories that
Illustrate what these trees mean to
different people They wore given me
by. the giver OF tho Mother Tree" in

blazes, but darn lonely This is the
first time have had q Christmas tree
all to myself feel that this tree is
Just for met"
The same day ! was accosted by IL
welldressed old fellow who said he
was from Texas.
"Td like to meet the man who start
ed this thing he said. He has reform
ed my little burg. Down there the only
amusement the cowboys used TO have
was to shoot up tho place. Since they
had their first tree two years ago they
are all like lot of Sunday school
teachers. They don't drink. they don't
swear, and they seem to really love one
another. It's great"
Poor men, rich men, beggar men,
thieves, are all stimulated to finer
things by these trees. In Titusville,

lionaires for It's size than any other
