SOvIETISM.

Mr.. hughes performed another

found the perfect word to stig-
Matte the conduct of the New
York assembly in excluding So
cialist members. He said rightly
that this was "sovietism"; for it
is of the very essence of Bolsheyist
rule never to accept verdict at

The trouble with most young
men is that the do not under,
stand the dignity of manual Ia
Dor. They do not realize that
honors and fortune may be more
readily gained outside of the So
called learned professions than
in them; and that is just as hon
orable to saving a hammer or to
hold a pillow as it is to make a
speech in court or to amputate a
Limb. The lesson young men
should be taught as early as pos
sible is that it is not so much
what a man does for a living as
how he does it, and that manual
labor is as honorable as any other.

THE KID. THE GOAT AND
THE LANDLORD.

Children are sometimes play
fully referred to as "kids." Did
this expression originate In a
sub-conscious feeling that their
parents are goats? Let us see.
In the great State of Pennsyl-
vania there is a kid leather fac
tory and in the fields surround
ing it frames are erected on which
the "green skins" are air-dried.
Hundreds of live kids browse and
play among the frames in blissfrIl
Inconsistencies that the skins
drying above them are those Of
their companions Of yesterday
and that tomorrow their own
skins will decorate the same
place.
A Pathetic, did you sayf
Well, what do you think Of thisi
In the great State of California
thousands of human beings are
ais obeing skinned who exhibit
the same innocence and mental
blindness that the kids do; the
same ignorance of the things that
hurts them and the same uncon-
sciousness of their fate.
Impossible, you say.
Not at all. The skinner is the
landlord and the skinning process
consists in his taking from work.
ers all that they produce except
a bare living. He is enabled to
do this by laws which grant him
ownership of the land of Califor-
mia and which carry with them
the power to put all others off who
do not comply with his terms.
And just as the leather manufac-
turer in his office is concealed
from the animals whose lives he
takes, so the landlord is con-
cealed from his victims by the
laws which create and sustain
him.
But while it is in the nature OF
things that man shall subdue, prey
upon, and use the lower animals
for his own purposes and that
they shall remain oblivious ohis
act, it is not In the nature OF
things that men should prey upon
each other. The leather manu-
facturer performs "a useful SER
vice for mankind and earns what
others give him in exchange for
his labor, but landlord does
nothing and gives nothing in ex-
change for what he takes. He
does not furnish or supply the
earth to men; he does not supply
capital (tools) to workers; he
does not protect life or property.
As lanlord he does not a single,
useful thing. He is literally al
drone, an obstructionist, dog in
the manager, an Old Man of the
Sea carried on Babor's back, a.
parasite taking without giving
and getting without earning. HeI
is the great devourer Of wages.
For this condition which is fast

one lawful, orderly, effective rem
edv namely to vote the landlord

Mattresses Refute Talk
of Danger in Their Work

think IL is very wrong to say such
things about any one class Oh
working people.
"As far as temptation goes, there

tions, Miss Stella Minor, prominent
in the New York Probation and

asked to give her opinion on the
subject.

that she would have fine oppor-

Who is right? Arc young wait

of ill-intentioned men than any

Renovating the Home
By Loretto G.. Lynch.

Sometimes a medicine stain wor-
ries the good housekeeper. This
can readily be removed by alcohol.
One women writes of a careless
maid who, in attempting to apply
paraffin to the tops of jelly glasses
in the dining-room, spilled it On
the carpet. What shall she do?
First, scrape off the excess. Then
warm a little alcohol over hot water
and apply it. Gum of most any
kind may be removed by soaking in
gasoline.
Another woman tells me that
there are some unsightly yellow
stains from vaseline on one of her
baby's best pillow-slps. Vaselne
stains should be soaked in kerosene
before washing.
INK STAINS.
While ordinary ink will usually
succumb to twenty-four hours
soaking in sour milk, if it happens
that the regulation fountain pen
ink gets upon your best tablecloth.
the milk treatment is but a waste OF
time. One of several treatments
may be resorted to in an effort to
remove fountain-pen ink. First, use
dilute citric or phosphoric acid fol-
lowed by bath of dilute ammonia
If this is not successful, try it once
again. If still unsuccessful, one Of
the following may be tried. Dilute
hydrochloric or oXalic acid followed
by ammonia, or equal parts of per-
oxide of hydrogen and ammonia,
and, lastly. Javclle water.
Sometimes the ovcr-ambitious
Riddles get out tho red ink before
the tablccloth has been removed.
Suddenly there is a spot. What
then?
First, soak tho stain in cold
water and then in dilute ammonia.
Try this several times. IL the stain
does not respond to treatment, try
Javellc water.
Rust is another stain the house
wife has to fight. Lemon juice, salt
and sunshine will usually clear up
a rust stain. If not. try hydro
chloric or oxalic acid or Javolle
water.

appeal, in fact-derive their sup

psychology of the individuals COM
posing it is known. What, then, is
the motivating influence that can
carry n crowd along paths which
not one of its members would think
of taking were he free from the
contagion of numbers7
Says Mr.. Martin in his book:
"Our society liz becoming

Not only are mob outbreaks and
riots increasing in number, but
every nterest-patriotic, religious,
ethical, political, economic-easily
degcnerates into a confusion OF
propaganda tongues, into cNtrav-

ance. Whatever the ideal to which
we would attain, we find the path
OF self-culture too slow: we must

Taking such everyday examples
as Billy Sundays evangelical meet

the passing of the eighteenth

Mr.. Martin develops his thesis that
the crowd mind Is "A phenomenon

1t is difficult to conceive OF n

citizens of a democracy such as

But noW-now something was

1t was in vain that man had
tried TO evade this. the supreme
revelation Of Jesus Christ, had
sought TO substitute ceremonies
and sacrifices for spiritual Tebirth.
IL was in vain that the church her
self had, from time 10 time, been
inclined TO compromise.
st. Paul, once the strict Phariseo
who had labored for the religion of
works, himself had been reborn into
the religion OF the Spirit 1t WAS
Paul who had liberated that mes
sage OF reblrth, which the world
has been SD long in grasping, from
the narrow bounds of Palestine and
sent 1t ringing down the ages to
the democracies of the twentieth
century.
And even Paul, though not con-
sciOusly inconsistent, could not rid
himself completely Of that ancient,
automatic conception Of religion
which the Master condemned, but
had on occasions attempted fruit
lessly to unite the new with the
old.
And thus. for long time, Chris
tianity had been wrongly conceived
as history, beginning with what to
Paul and the Jews was an his
torical event. the allegory Of the
Garden OF Eden, the fall OF Adam.
and ending with the Jewish concep-
ton of the Atonement. This was a
rationalistic and not spiritual
religion.

held on the road to Damascus. The

NEW YORK. Dec. 20.-Does the
waitress walk in the way OF tempta-
tionH
According to .Irs. Frances Dono-
van, prominent Chicago socia'
worker. II is the most dangerous
occupation a woman can enter.
According to five representative
mattresses interviewed by the writer
such sweeping statements cannot
be made truthfully, and the temp
tation" all depends on the girl
who waits" herself.
"Do not raise your laughter to be
q waitress" warns Mrs. Donovan,
who has come to her startling con-
illusions after an investigation or
conditions that covers nine months.
In order to inform herself accurate
ly concerning this subject Mrs.
Donovan says she has worked in
restaurants, both cheap and eNpen-
sive, in hotels and grill rooms. In
tea shops and in exclusive clu6s:
All of these eating places, she says,
offer a menace to the girl who
works in them.
In the cheaper restaurants, she
says, the patrons expect little visits
with the girl who serves them food
the men who come IN at Otner
times than the rush hour.
MRS. DONOVAN's EXPERIENCE.
Mrs. Donovan teIis of her first tip
received in an exclusive tea room.
There's twenty cents on your
table, dearie," one of the mattresses
told me. / FASTENED back to pick it
up, because l thought / had earned
it. Under the dimes was the bust
ness card of my late customer, with
his name, address and telephone
number. / wondered why, but l
soon learned the meaning of this
card left for the waitress.
1.-THE result is" concludes Mrs.
Donovan, that almost every wait
ress has two or three husbands dur
them are Divorces; that so per cent
of them are married temporarily
and that the remaining 10 per cent
are single"
Judging from Mrs. Donovan's con-
illusions the waiting" business
would see INTO offer unparalleled
opportunities to enter matrimony,
but not to be secure in wedlock.
AS against such reflections upon
an honest calling from girls who
actually wait on table for their
livelihood. the following opinions
were garnered.
WHAT MATTRESSES SAY.
Everything depends on the girl
herself" said one trim waitress in
q medium-p priced restaurant II
