If a breeder improves a kind of animal;
a farmer discovers a better way of raising crops,
a new way of plowing his fields, makes the soil
more produdtive by methods entirely new, a
better way of building barns, and so on; a
workman discovers that by a peculiar twist of
the,wrist he increases the productivity of his
efforts; some one finds a short cut from one

doing the same things unless they are paid for

Absurd!
Nearly all the ills which pester the world
result from privileges of some kind, and these
must be removed before freedom and the just
rewards of honest and useful labor be the "rule

Does independence become thraldom becausi

Does the red heart of Liberty turn black becai

With brushes long lain in blackened lies
Injustice paints Anarchy blacker than hell.
Rulership taints it fearful, terrible,
To save its own malignant sovereignty.
But frienzied disorder it is not,
Nor riotous rage and wretched ranchor
Pricked like bulls maddened into blind exasperation
By javalins of fancied wrongs;
Nor wild-eyed, wild-haired, wfld-ading,
Running amuck with weapons deadly,
Hands reckless and reeking with human bloc
Grim-visioned chaos Anarchy is not,
But with tranquil grace and confident feet
It walks the paths of the garden of reason,
Restful and radiant as a leisure season,
And the people, simple, unthoughtful, welcoi

with clashing blades and martial trappings.

With the prodigal aid of freedom,:
With the hope and the heart of justice,
With the lighted lamp of knowledge,
The seeds of concord sowing,
The needs of kindness knowing,
The meeds of moiling showing, it comes.
But over the barricades of the will it cannot come.
Nor does it come until the fruit is ripe to harvest.
As tho from the womb of the East came the sun,
Golden-haired god of the day,
And, feeling the while the warmth of his genial
smile,
His breath of beatitude blowing upon you,
Your flesh crawled creepily like a wounded
lizard,
And with tongueless horror you started in awe,
Believing the cohorts of hell with its heat were
coming,
You and yours to annihilate,
So, with eyes afilmed with folly, Ignorance
stands aghast,
Gazing on the fair face of Anarchy.
The Anarch's coming, comrade, fear you not,
For what you grow and glean he comes to safeSguard.

You can't be an Anarchist and do the things
which Anarchism condemns.
Anarchism would make occupancy and tuse
the sole title to land, thereby abolishing rent
for land.
It would guarantee to each individual or association the right to issue money as a medium
of exchange, thereby abolishing interest on
money in so far as co-operation and competition can do it.
It denies the justice of patent and copyrights, and would abolish monopoly by abolishing patent-rights.
It denies the right of any body of people to
tax the individual for anything he does no
want, but that taxation should be voluntary,
such as is now done by churches, trade unions,
insurance societies-and all other voluntary associations.
It believes that freedom in every walk of life
is the greatest possible means of elevati:g the
human race to happier conditions.
It is said that Anarchism is not socialism.
This is a mistake. Anarchism   is voluntary
Socialism. There are two kinds of Socialismi,
archistic and anarchistic, authoritarian and libertarian, state and free. Indeed, every proposition for social betterment is either to increase
or decrease the powers of external wills and
forces over the individual. As they ifecrease
they are archistic; as they decrease thve are
anarchistic.

ANARCUY 1TO TOIL
Rude Archy binds him hands and feet
And robs Toil of his "dough,"
Yet still he prays to this his god
On him to weal bestow.
Blithe Anarchy then comes along,
Would free him from'his plight.
When he protests in fear and rage
And Anarchy would fight.
"Why fight you me?" asks Anarchy,
"When I would set you free
From this old shark, whose interest
Is your servility?"
Then Ignorance, old Archy's friend,
Puts in a word or two:
"Don't mind this chap, for Archy wil
Take a father's care of you.
"Altho he bind you haans and feet,
And takes your pocketbook.
'Tis done to better serve you, son,
And guard you from this crook!"

THE PARAMOUNT NEED
When one realizes how little is needed for a
-person to live in comfort and happiness he won
ders why there is so much want and trouble in
the world. The atual needs of a human being
put briefly, are expressed in the words food ant
shelter.
Unless one wants to eat canary birds' tongues
and manna and to live in a crystal palace the
implest things are the sanest and easiest to get,
under rational conditions. Food consists of
eatables and drinkables, and shelter includes
housing, clothing, fuel, etc.-those things that
protedt us from the inclemencies of the weather.
These are produced with comparatively little
labor. Just a few acres of good land cultivated
with care and skill will produce all the food
needed for the average-sized family, and comfortable clothing is not expensive.  '
But all of these things come dire(lly from land,
and so long as the producer is denied free access
to unused land and the right to issue his ow n
notes, in co-operation with his fellows, as a_
medium of exchanging his services and produd~
he will be carryinig the galling burden oflnlord, usurer, and all their flunkies and theloafi
