ANTS, BEES
AND APES
A MERE REFLECTION

"Move onward, working out the
brute,
And let the Ape and Tiger die"
These lines of Tennyson always
seemed to me to libel the tiger;
men hate the tiger mainly be-
cause they fear him; but he has
many virtues. He only kills
when he's hungry and never wages
war. Come to think of it only
three classes of sentient beings
ever wage war; the Ants, the
Bees and the Apes. No other
creatures ever think of going out
to fight in hordes.
If you consider the quality of
condition common to these three
classes of creatures and unknown
outside them, you will assuredly
find the true and primal cause of
war. The Ants, Bees and Apes
all own property; for this cause
myriads of ants go forth to battle
and die nobly in tens of thou
sands; put your hand in a bees
hive and every bee in it will fight
and die for the piled-up golden
booty the winged thieves have
accumulated. And for stores of
gold we men, too, will fight to
Che death and expend and waste
more than we gan ever hope to
gain in the fratricidal struggle

WOMAN QUESTION Is PART
OF THE SOCIAL QUESTION

everybody thought would have to
wait until the XXI century, may
thus be solved together with the
labor question by the present gen.
GRAFTON or by the next.
We very much doubt, therefore,
whether modern women will com
ply with the wish of the ruling
classes--and become simply ma
hines of reproduction and multi
plication. We doubt this for the
following reasons:
The ruling classes of all civiliz-
ed countries are concerned in the
increase of population only--be-
cause they want plenty Of wage
workers and soldiers.
Modern women will not take
kindly to that idea, whose main
exponent in this county is Theo-
dore Roosevelt
Modern women will be mindful
of the thought Of Thoreau: "The
only excuse of reproduction is i'm
provement. Beasts merely prop
agate their kind, but the offspring
of noble men and women must be
superior to themselves as their
aspirations are"
And is it possible for the av-
erage proletarian parents to &C
complish this while the capital
list system lasts?
We are not considering the
moral side Of the question. Every
epoch since the dawn of civiliza-
ton has had it's own code of
morals. And so will undoubted-
ly the next epoch have its own
code.
Nevertheless, we would advise
our readers or friends not to do
any pioneering on that field. Pho
neering is hard business every
where and at all times. And it
is nowhere harder than in the
field of so-called morals"

DR.. A. Lindsay Wynkoop 1890 that
girls or women who become moth
ers in war time without the for
mality of marriage have made as
great sacrifice for the race as
the man who gives his life for
the country,
DR., Wynkoop is the chairman
of the eugenics department of the
congress of the Parents and
Teachers Association.
Dr., Wynkoop's remark is usual
ly coupled with the silly story
from Russia-that the soviet of
SaIatov has made all marriage il
legal and that women in Saratov
are supposed to add to the popu-
lation to the best of their ability.
The children are to be brought up
by the "state'-"the state of Sara
tov"-until they are II years of
age, and women giving life to
twins will receive a national gift.
So says the story.
The tale, however, bears the
earmarks of an invention, says
the Milwaukee Leader. To be-
gin with, there is no such thing
IS the Estate of Saratov." Some
enterprising young reporter who
had lately read Plutarch, evident
" thought he had good chance
% knock the Bolsheviki. He SIM
ply translated into modern news
paper language what Plutarch
tells us about the laws of Ly-
curgos, the Spartan king. And
then the reporter claimed that it
is happening in Saratov.
The laws of Lycurgos permit
ted the Spartan citizen to allow
the use of his wife to any other
citizen who desired to have chill
tiren by her, if he, the husband,
was satisfied. According to Plut-
arch, many husband, who for
some reason or another had no
children of his own, would invite
friend whom he thought likely
to procure for him fine and good
looking children, into his home
without he or his wife losing
caste.
In fact, when the Spartans laid
siege to the city of Messene, this
was practiced on a large scale by
order of the Spartan government.
The youngest and strongest citi-
zens were sent home for that pur-
pose.
The other Greeks ridiculed that
Spartan custom. They called the
Spartan women Phoenomerides
lbare-thighed), thereby denoting
that the Spartan women were al
ways ready for any husband.
But the malicious Russian story
has some background.
We have read in the press a
great deal of late-about poly
gamy which is to be encouraged
in Germany after the war, and
also about "war babies" in Eng
land and France during the war.
All these reports mean practically
The same thing. They give ex-
preston to the deep worry of ma
ions now at war, how to make up
FOR the terrific losses of human
ives.
There can be no question that
marital relations will undergo a
"reat change after the war. While
nonogamy will always be the rule
among white civilized nations -
women will enjoy far greater
rights in the future than they do
now.
Such change would come any
way after the economic question
that is, the question of the
daily bread for everybody - had
been settled. The world war,
however, may result in the wo-
mans question becoming part
of that "social question:" by which
term we denote the economic side

There are. he said 100 10000 pounds
OF beef where there ought to be 49,
0oo.eoo. while the nation is very short
OF pork fat and vegetable oils.
We present these facts. not because
we wish to play the part of alarmist.
but because II should be pointed out
that we must conserve food, whether
we wish to or not. We have reached
the point where 1t is no virtue to save.
We are constantly being told by the
platform lecturers from one govern
ment bureau and another that Il is no
great honor to buy liberty bonds at
4 per cent: that when we have given
our afl-seen our country invaded, as
have the French, our women violated,
and our men moved down-then we
can begin to talk OF sacrifice.
1t is just that point that we wish
to make in this matter of food. 1t is
no longer a sacrifice merely to 90
without meat for a day, or wheat
bread. We have now reached the
point where we do without because
we must. And as time goes on. the
necessity will become more and more
urgent, and the restrictions more and
more severe. Then will come the tost

The Snakier Sort.

At the instigation of the official Hun clothing
department., German newspapers urge the populace
to go barefooted.
In this country. shoes have just been classed as
essentials.
The straits to which the Teuton is being put to
promote the extreme Sacrifice, as We
know it. cannot compare with what forms the major
part of every Germans everyday life.
The wolf of, starvation is shifting at the Hun
door. Only stinting, to and beyond the point of
privation, keeps him att bay
Yet in one American city, two bakers recently
chose the alternative of closing shop for period
of days specified by the food inspector rather than
pay fine to the Red Cross, for improperly proper
tioning wheat substitutes in their bread.
First they violate rulings vital to the welfare OF
boys abroad. then, given choice, these fine
specimens unblushingly select the unpatriotc way
to make good"
Though not quite in the same category, we
like adding treason to sedition The difference is
not great. The treason represents coupling of
physical belligerent demonstration disloyal utter
ance. The bakers method was merely the sneaker,
snakier sort of treachery.
Can any community countenance acts Of this
kind? Shall the perpetrators be permitted to con-
tinue operation OF their business enterprises? Will
they have the patronage of loyal dealer or patriotic
consumer? r-.. J.

what Germany is fighting for-control 81 the
worlds raw materials so that she can supply the

In other words, Germany would have America
dig her iron ore and copper, grow her cotton. and
send them to German factories, where German men.
women and children beaten into virtual slavery by
the war lords; would toll for mere existence.
phe effect Of that on American workmen would
be lower wages and pihfui living condition. 1t
would be ruinous to American capital. II would
have like effect on British. French. Italian and
Russian workmen.
With her concentrated control of the worlds raw
materials, her war enslaved wofkmen and her inor-
dinate- desire for world power, the Germany Of the
Hohenzollerns easily enough could annex the world
markets, and make all other nations pay commercial
tribute to the war lords OF Hunland.
This 10 unthinkable 1t borders close to political
enslavement
The United States now should start building the
foundation Of our after-the-war business We will
have what America long lacked, worthy feet of
commerce carriers flying the American flag. We
have the most plentiful supply Of raw materials of
any nation. The United States must protect her
workingmen her raw materials, her ships, her COM
rnerce and business life. This, in large measure,
must be done on the battlehelds of Europc-before
the peace conference. We owe it to our future
national welfare to fight until Germany cannot com
rnand our raw materials "by force II necessary"
AT that conference Germany must not only give
up her dream Of world military power, and all the
territory she has seized, but she must shatter her
program Of world commercial power. In other
words, there can be peace until the German
Hohenzollerns come to realize that Germany must
