TO make my position quite clear, 1
again appeal to the stranger. The
stranger of today is the man or wo-
man who is, of what one calls, mid
die age. 1t is he or she who really
feels lonesome in a big city.
This excludes the confirmed bach
elors or the old maids. They are not
lonesome, else they would try to be
congeniaI and look for friends Of the
opposite sex Bachelors, as a rule,
are what they are because they want
to be it and feel quite happy. Old
maids, though, in the majority of
cases are what they are against their
will. Had they not been so exceed
ingly modest or too particular when
in their youthful days they would be
willing now to make friends If this
remark insults some Of them it only

free to breathe. Self-Ownership can
not allow one person to own and con-
troll the means by which the life of
another person is sustained, because
the means by which life is main
tanned are a part Of life itself Self
ownership would therefore destroy
all now existing ownership of or mo-
nopolies in % the natural resources,
(2) the means Of social production,
(3) the medium of exchange of so
cial values money, and, conse-
quently, all private speculation in and
manipulation Of these things. This
would free the wOrkingman and the
usurers' victim from the slavery IN
der the industry masters and money
kings.
Self-ownership would free woman
from sex slavery and make her the
sole owner Of her own person and the
cOmmander-in-chief of all her &C
tions. 1t would give her free and IN
restricted access to all the knowledge
about her own person and its func-
tiOns that human experience and in
vestigation has produced.
Self-Ownership would free the
child from parental slavery and from
the slavery under teachers. and So
called educators. Self-ownership
demands that no child, in any school
or elsewhere, be imposed upon,
frightened or in any way compelled
to believe or to profess to believe any
religious or mystic dogma, creed or
teaching, or taught any unknown
and unknowable things or anything
which is not demonstrable to human
reason. Self-Ownership demands for
each individual the right and the OPP
portunity to freely formulate or
choose his own theory or belief con-
corning the unknown and unknOwa-
bic, according to his own inclina-
tons; and also the right to have no
such theory or belief whatsoever.

such, for instance, as the indiscrimi-
nate killing Of other men and the de-
struction of their property and
homes. The self-owning person will
not be commanded or compelled to
kill Unfortunately all men who
have CHANGED to be born in another
country and the killing of whom a
ruler, president, government or any
other group of persons may find ex-
pedient If he believes in killing men
he will kill only such individuals as
are enemies to him and his ideals,
wherever found.
Finally, self-Ownership would de-
stroy all external government, all
government of one person or group
Of persons by another person or
group Of persons, and substitute
therefor the government Of each per-
son by his own highest reason and
noblest emotions. Whatever re-
straint over the lower feelings and
desires that would be necessary
would then be exercised by the indi-
vidual himself, by his higher facul-
ties. Thus governors, courts, jails,
judges, hangmen, police and soldiers
would become superfuous and their
existence would cease to curse the
earth. - Theodor johnson, 4616 St.

ENTENTE FRIGHTFULNESS.

The German newspapers are
warning their readers to look
out. A conspiracy is afoot among
the Entente countries, headed
by President Wilson, to "drive
d wedge between the emperor
and the people" This species
Of .frightfulness, which violates
every principle Of civilized war
fare, must be stopped somehow.
Let every German, therefore,
rally to the side of the kaiser
and show the enemy in the most
unmistakable manner that this
cruel rending Of tender ties new
er will be permitted.
Rather than submit to it Ger
many herself will resort to
frightfulness. The Entents coun-
tries must understand that the
kaiser and his people just will
not be separated and live. That
is, the kaiser wouldn't live he
couldn't. They are the only peo-
pie he has. He was brought up
from a boy to stick to them and
he never, never will desert them.
They know it, or ought to. They
know that nothing could induce
nim to leave them in the lurch.
AS for the people their inter
ests bind them as closely to him.
Where could they get another
kaiser who would lead them to
so much glory as they now are
tasting? Without him they would
have to leave the pleasant land

packed each day. The night
fairs were a big feature this
year, the weather the last two
evenings being especially favor
able. In the evening the vaude-
vile attractions were repeated
and a great fireworks display
put on. The evening crowds
while not as large as during the
day, were immense. The wealth
err of course, played a big part
in the success Of the fair as it
was favorable, Wednesday being

the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.

well-wishers. The ceremony was per-

unusual ability, sang 20 Promise

bride on the arm of her father, de-
scended the stairway preceded by lit
tie Miss Geraldine Sparaldo carrying
basket of flowers and who filled the
position of flower girl with every sat

sohn's wedding March," played by
Miss Mabel Buford, announced the
approach of the lady who had lost
all charms for the single life. Then
followed Miss Diette Williams, the
bridesmaid, whose charming appear
ance came in for attraction and
whose support to the bride was all
that could be desired. The bride
groom, escorted by Neal Elliston, his
best man, took up his position under
a large bell of white floral design,
and there by the side of his intended
better half, responded very audibly
to the sentences as they were read
by the minister in an impressive man
ner. The ceremony, witnessed by old
friends of the brides family and the
youthful society associates of the
BRIDE was very touching, as the So
lemnity of matrimony was given due
weight, and with the usual emphasis
of the Rev. Williams. a striking re-
minder seemed to lay hold on the
witnesses of the event. The bride

Boulder, Colo, Sept. 26.-Tony Gen
tile, a worker on a threshing gang,
died at the hospital here this after
noon from gunshot wound inflicted
by Negro guard last evening at the
Western Light and Power company's
reservoir near Louisville.
Gentle, who was an Italian with an
imperfect understanding of English
was walking thru the fields as short
cut to town. Cliff Alsop and Henry
Tabbs, Negro guards, were on duty at
the reservoir. When they saw Gentle
approaching they hailed him. But he
kept on, and after the third hail one
of the guards fired. Gentle was shot
through the abdomen, the bullet max
ing a deep cash.
The coroner here has decided upon
holding an inquest. The shot, it is
stated, was fired by Alsop.
Negro home guards were placed at
the reservoir Monday, when company
of Boulder was withdrawn. There
has been some feeling at Louisville
over the placing of Negroes at the res
ervoir, and it has grown in intensity
