ALISM is receiving hard knocks just at present from W, H. Mallock, , an English author, who possesses” more logic than humor. Mr. Mal- lock says that, while the friends of | = Socinfism-have-been—voeiferous-and+ f earnest in their advocacy, the oppo- nents of Socialism have been silent. This silence is for the present inter “rupted bythe series-of tectures=on7, Socialism which Mr. Mallock is de- livering to college audiences.

Spay | _- In the patriarchal state of soclety | which the early biblical works de-/ scribed there was a close approach | to Socialism. What everyone: | should do. was. determined by the} community authorities. The hours for toil and for sleep, for religion } : - ‘and recreation, the manner of apparel, the time to bathe and the age to harry were all determined ‘according to the best wisdom of the elders of -—the- munity, —There-was-no-such tliing-as-wages in thematern sense he community as a-whole reaped the benefit of good crops and pros- Prous seasons-and shared in the scarcity and starvation of the scant years. >The first break in this first Socialistic system was in the women be- => ginning to take part in its affairs, first by their displaying’ a desire to be —Consuited-as to their own: marriages; and then from-this-development-to-a breaking up of the community from one large patriarchal family into Smaller family groups. This process of diminishing the size of the family has continued until “thodem times. It |s distinctly individualistic. Not many centuries ago the family included all the blood kin, with the connections by marriage. The family nowadays no longer includes the cousins or even the brothers = atid sisters, who may be widely scattered. The position of the women =, in the family has thus become not a group contained in a harem but a ~ nigmber of distinct individuals. : ~~. Women are not gregarious like mien. They are not accustomed to majority government and to subjecting their wishes to a numerical vote. Schemes for co-operative housekeeping or community living have wrecked on this point. Every boarding-house and hotel and apartment- jousé has its troubles because women wilt not subject their-wills to aittiey the: majority or'the Janitors Until the nature of women is changed back to what it was in the patriarchal days there will be no Socialism in the broad sense that Mr. Now provides, te: hours for labor, rest and recreation as laid down by the executive board; but-what women would? 5 E = What would be the condition of things after the-first-bulletin-of the executive board what women were to -wash,-who-were-to- cook, what were to be dressmakers and milliners and so on?
