food fresh from natures hand and are
not troubled with diseases. They are
also able to produce their own milk for
their own babies with human natures .
instead of Cow natures.
Orthodox beliefs of many kinds on
"a variety of subjects are being cast
overheard nowadays; and, as Professor
Martin said at a recent psychology
meeting. new discoveries are made
in the science of dietetics right along,
and books over two years old are no
longer dependable. And this reminds
me OF a little experience Of commune
ity in Chicago that | was familiar with
thirty years ago. 1t was reported to
the school board of the city that the
children were undernourished and not
properly cared for. The members of
the board came out to the place and
looked up the children who were play
ing Que in little grove at the time.
The children looked so we'll; and,
when they were questioned, they told
a straight story of the vegetarian diet
they were nourished upon and their
general treatment that highly pleased
the board. And when interviewing the
management of the society, they ex-
pressed themselves we'll satisfied and
wished that some day all the children
in Chicago might fare equally as well.
The pioneers of Newllano are people
with vision. They did not flee to the
wilderness to build I'D a little garden
Iof Eden utterly indifferent as to how
the rest of the world Jared. The pur-
pose of the Colony enterprise was and
| is to try out and demonstrate that the
Golden Rule is not only practical
rule OF human intercourse and relation
ship, but that in fact it is the ONLY
rule that is practical, if peace, plenty
and prosperity are ever to be secured
for all. The people at NewIlano believe
that the new civilization must be estab-
lished and demonstrated in visible form
in full view of the world before it vii
be accepted and generally inaugurated
Every new invention and improvement
has to run the gauntlet of unbelief
prejudice, and opposition; but an OBJ
jective, visible demonstration finally
disarms all antagonism and enters up
on triumphant march of victory.
The spirit that already prevails il
all the intercourse of the Newllano col
onists with one another is positive proc
that they are on the right track. TIL
Co-operative Commonwealth will ma
teriaIize just as rapidly as the people
begin to cooperate.
| Men can get larger results by work
ing together and for each other than b,
each one going it alone on his owl
hook and padding his own canoe.
ASSOCIATED effort has achieved all tn,
so-calted great works of civilization. tn,
abundant plenty of modern times. Blu
there is no good reason why a few
should hog the lions share of tina
abundance, no matter how useful an.
one may be. Nor is there any iustifi
cation for any one who is able-bodie'
being excused from doing his proper
Tomato share of the necessary worl
that human necessities require to b.
done for the subsistence and mainten
ance of human existence. The inter
dependence Of people living in contig
uity consists really in mutual work don
for one another. No one has any CLAIM
upon another's labor or product, ex
cept for labor performed or produc
provided for the Others need. Whel
this is generally recognized. publ
opinion will no longer tolerate profit
eering. or the levying of tribute in an.
form or under any name.
