L something to justify its existence,
tho the accomplishment may be OF
doubtful value to those most con-
cerned. Thru commission at the head
of which was a virtuous English wo-
man, 1,400 hundred christian girls have
been saved from Arab harems. 1t
seems that many Of the girls luxu-
rating in the kindly presence of some
Arabian chief did not take kindly to
proposal for liberation when they
learned that freedom meant going to
work at starvation wages or entering
life of shame under more unfavor-
able conditions than life in harem.
COME Of those girls acted very much
~ like the female dependents of the
rich. When you mentioned work to
them, said the English lady, they
looked around at their quarters and
lit another cigarette. Every puff
meant to suggest the greatest con-
tempt for the proposed change in
their manner of living. How many
of those parasites who go around on
paid commission to save souls would
take any kindlier to an "hnoest liv-
ing'' than those they are Saving" on
a salary?
THE subject peoples of the earth can
L not be saved by hypocritical busy
bodies or appeals to "the better side
of their nature" Girls in harems, the
wives and daughters of capitalists,
nuns in converts and women In facto-
ries, must eat or they will know the
reason why. Under this glorious sys-
tenn of ours the working class can
only eat at the pleasure Of the boss.
Those who come under the boss's dis
pleasure, or for other reasons can't
find work, live on somebody, or die.
They die only as a last resort. Do
away with capitalism and all other
kinds of exploitation will be on the
way to disappear.

ENRANK TINNEY. the comedian, is
4 held in double contempt. once by
his wife and second time by Judge
Norman S. Dixie. Tinney is famous |
rs a laugh-producer, but 1t seems that |
he failed ANONYMOUSLY with his wife. |
For the laughs he drew out of the |
public she is getting 5000 week, but |
II is reported that every time Tinney |
makes out a check for that amount he |
scowls as unpleasantly as does his |
wife whenever she, does not get the |
money. About the only avenue of re-
lief to Tinney is to become a bum or |
Judge. Judges are above contempt, |
or is II the other way.
