HISTORIC MATERIALISM

tons are merely the reactions of a
reconstructed being under the i'm
pulses of the circumstances sur
rounding him. Their individual
members being thus the races and
peoples arc also creatures of cir
cumstance; their histories are the
records of their growth and de-
velopment, and the important fea-
lures of these histories are not the
spectacular effects, but the under
lying causes which occasion these
History, then, is elevated from the
category of more or less inform
alive and interesting literature, and
is transported to the domain of sci
ence. 1t becomes a department of
biology. Its study ceases to be a
genealogy of kings and princes, a
tabulation of dates or a critique of
the characters of individuals. 1t
becomes a research into the piecing
together of vast chain of causa-
ton. Attila, Alexander Napoleon,
heroes or Williams, and. become mere
instruments in the working out Of
human evolution.
Mans primal impulse is to live, to
procure his living. Circumstances
attendant upon the procuring of his
living a.e therefore the circum-
stances which will have the greatest
and most far reaching effect in de-
terming his habits and ideas. Can
nibalism, however repulsive it may
appear to us, to the cannbal, being
a part of his mode of procuring a
living, seems mere matter Of
course. Socially the means of life
may be more readily and securely
procured; social life appears, there
fore, perfectly natural. By the
enslavement, in it's varied forms, of
the weaker by the more powerful,
the latter may procure the means Of
life more securely and easily. Slav-
cry appears to them therefore, right
and Just, in fact, the prevailing
mode of slavery always seems no
slavery at all, and the discomfort
and revolt of the enslaved seems
culpable and even ungrateful. All
things that tend to justify and con-
serve a system are themselves justi-
fled and accepted. Behind it all lies
the primal impulse to live and pro-
cure a living, more or less complex
as the process of procuring the liv-
ing may be and whatever wants and
desires may go to make up the living
to be procured.
1t is the study and elaboration of
this discovery which has given rise
to the general formula of historic
materialism that, in any given So
Getty, it's structure, government, laws,
religion, philosophy, habits, customs
and ideas, are determined by it's
mode of production of the means
of life.

He sealed the letter, then gave it to
the man, who left the room.
The chancellor pondered deeply
over the situation, then started fol
the royal palace to report Napoleon's
visit and Rositta's promises to his
majesty.
When Napoleon arrived home he
had long conference with Astra
They were both somewhat depressed
His disappointment In not securing
the Peak Suemeg was great, because
he had many inventions that required
the use of cirynith, and he knew thai
the counts actions were a menace tc
the peace movement.
They decided that they would marry
in the month of July. That evening
they went to Ciryne to tell their deter
mination to Mrs. Edison.
Napoleon and Astra spent another
day on Ciryne. This time Napoleon
conducted the three women through
the wonderful plant where cirynitt
was refined and manufactured into
parts of aerodromones and other use

Rositta kept her ears and eyes wide
open. but not being trained along me-
chanical lines she could not under
stand many of the things she saw.
Still she was glad that Napoleon hon
ored her with his confidence as from
now on there would be no objection to
her visiting the shops whenever she
pleased.

4 ison and Rositta walked down to the
sandy shore and sat listening to the
waves. The mother was dreaming OF
the happy future for her son. The
other was weaving fine threads of tae
net she was tangling about her friends.
Santos was away, but he was ex-
pected back soon. She disliked to see
him leave her side, as she feared to
lose the control that she had gained
over him.
He returned that evening. When
Mrs. Edison retired the countess stole
out of the house and strolled toward
the shore, where she knew Santos
would be awaiting her. Santos was
the happiest of men when she greeted
him with passionate embraces and
kisses.
He was like faithful, obedient dog

the counts letter, that came in answer
to the one he had sent for her.
Rositta opened it, and he held his

around his neck. "I cannot hear him

II could not"
Did he say that had not served
him well? Did he say that?"
He did," whispered ROSETTA.
Santos breathed fire and fame. Ro-
sitta subtly convinced Santos that he
was the man, and not Napoleon Edi-
son, whose name should be the revered
one in American history. When argu-
ments were weak, kisses strengthened
them, until poor Santos was nodded
into form that suited ROSETTA. Then

CHAPTER XVII.
The Fifteenth Of July.

Tie EHkGENlV OF Jutys
July is, the marriage day of Astra
and Napoleon, had been declared a
continental holiday.
From near and far came congratu-
lations. They had not planned gor-
geous ceremony, but they could not
stop the expressions of love that came
from the loyal citizens. The whole
capital was alive with color, and the
messages that came and the sincere
joy Of all, made the day one to be
remembered for years to come.
Astra had missed Rositta very much.
She had been unable to attend the
wedding, as she had been Ill on the
Island of Ciryne for the last few
weeks.
When Napoleon heard that the
countess was unable to attend their
wedding on account of her indisposi-
ton, he thoughtfully shook his head.
1t seemed incredible that ROSETTA, who
was SO full of vitality and energy,
should be i'll. He only said: Every
illness has a remedy"
He did not give the matter further
thought. He spent the last day before
his marriage in his aerodromone, the
American Eagle. Where he was, or
what he did, no one seemed to know,
and he did not volunteer the informa-
ton.
After their wedding luncheon Astra
returned to her presidential office, as
there we're things that she wanted to
attend to personally. Especially the
criminal case Of Nikolay Mozrak. The
Criminal Court of the continent had
decreed capital punishment for at
! tempted assassination of the President
of the United Republics of America.
Astra read the document carefully
and instead Of signing 1t, she wrote:
"Pardoned, and shall be instantly re-
leased"
(Signed)
"AsTRA PRUDENT EDISON"
She dispatched the pardon by spe
cial messenger, and then took up Other
matters.
At seven o'clock she was at the Crys
tai Palace, to dress for the banquet Of
the Continental Commercial and In
dustrial Association, one of the mos
powerful societies organized to pro
mote the welfare of business people
She and Napoleon drove to the new
Capital Hotel In an open car. The
banquet was arranged for 1000 guests
and the whole upper floor was thrown
open for the purpose
At eleven o'clock the presidential
party left and threaded its way TOWARD
the Crystal Palace. At the Palace
Judge Seaman of the Continental
Court awaited them. His mission was
to deliver heavy looking letter TO the
President.
Your excellency will pardon me fol
taking this liberty, but Mr.. Mozrak
the prisoner you so kindly pardoned
insisted that this letter Is important
and would not leave the prison until
| promised him that would deliver II
personally"
Astra took the letter and thanked
him for its safe delivery, then dis
missed him with a few kind words.
Napoleon escorted HIS mother to her
rooms. then returned to the library.

There is stirring of the

"DEPOT FOR OLD CLOTHES"
Is NEW GERMAN ENTERPRISE

BERLIN, Jan. 26.-On the heels OF
the ruling whereby clothes of practi-
calIy all kinds are obtainable only by
those who possess a "Bezugschein" or
card emitting them to pcrchase new
things, and the provision that persons
turning in wearable old suits or over
coats are entitled to cards without
question, there has been formed an
imperial Depot for Old Clothes
In this depot all the articles turned
it by persons wishing new clothes will
be gathered sorted out, repaired, put
iii shape generally, and then parcelled
out at low prices to those who cannot
afford to buy new things.

NEW EXCUSE FOR DIVORCE
UNCOVERED BY THIS WOMAN

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 26.-You have
got to fire that pretty stenographer, If
your wife insists on it. There's no
use to argue, for friend wife now has
the law on her side.
If you keep that pretty woman at
your typewriter any longer, in the face
q your wife's objections. it is cruel
treatment in the eyes of the law
cruel to the wife, not to the stenog-
rapher, and you may find yourself in
the divorce court.
The interesting point was made in
the divorce court Mrs. Sallie J.
Smith. She charged cruelty and to
substantiate her charge. told of her
husbands obstinacy in retaining the
services of a particularly beautiful
stenographer over her complaints. She
got her divorce.
