Make Impossible such court-room scenes as are described on first page of Fair Play No. 58, which can only be done by abolishing cluss legislation, which wiU abolish poverty, and make millionaires impossible. It does not appear that thoHO prisoners ere there as a result of not belnsr well born. The best born child thut ever was or ever will be would be likely to reach the same goal if compelled to live in the same terrible conditions of poverty. I do believe, in the majority of cases the conditions of birth, bad as they are, are such as to produce children that would do honor to far better environments and opportunities, than they find waiting for them, or it is possible for them to achieve, yet our Mother Earth is abundantly rich, only man's inhuman cruelties niako her children mourn.

No one would more gladly than I surround every prospective mother not only with freedom, but ith everything loving and lovely, for vise and beauty, that the human temple she builds muy be perfect and thoroughly furnished. This can never be done while In poverty, hunger, and dirt, she sings the song of the shirt," nor as Francis Barry puts it, with her love, a blanket, and a Graham crust." I am not at all elated over "creating a demand for Mr. Lloyd's poem indeed, I am sorry but if any one will assure me after reading it that he or she is better fitted to aid in constructing humanity's temple I will feel reconciled. H. J.

Hunt. Halstead, Kas. ANOTHEK CRITICISM OF LLOYD. Dear Mr. Editor Number 56 of Fair Play is particularly suggestive to me.

The Pioneer project is capital and I shall avail myself of it as as soon as I can get some addresses I want. I thank you for giving us the Domain of Science." I have read it over and over. Its principles carried still farther into psychic phenomena give the same harmony of cause and effect, appealing no less irresistibly to reason. As a member of the National Equal Rights Association for seventeen years, and its present Secretary, I was especially stirred up by Mrs. White's letter, and your (in many ways) wise response.

My husband has often said, talking in the same vein as yourself "You are the only Freethinker in the whole crowd but I said to him, as I say to you, There are thous-ands of us, only we are not so near the surface. I differ from your position, that to reform an organization we must get out of it, though I may "see farther" in the future; we strike for our right, that of the ballot, because it is our right. How we shall use it has nothing to do with the question. You stand there, as the old-time anti-abolitionists did, when they talked of miscegenation, the inability of the slaves to care for themselves, etc. When you do not espouse the cause of woman there you are that much in the rear as a leader libertyward." Did Lillian coiu that word? If she did she has added a gem to the English language.

Every time I of it, it thrills me like a beckoning hand libertyward." Now for Hunt versus Lloyd. Again your criticism strikes me as that of a sagacious, far-seeing leader, up to a certain point. "The evolution of units who know what liberty is must go on before liberty will come to the nations." Granted the questions of heredity, attraction, are a factor in this evolution, a necessary equipment for freedom, I do not see how the quotation from Mr. poem with which Mrs. Hunt favors us is to enlighten them.

I never read the poem in question My Love in the Morning," nor any other poem by that author in my life, but as far as the five words given by Mrs. Hunt go, one woman at least indorses her opinion of it. The principal impediment in the work of a reconstruction, on a purer basis, is the seeming impossibility of making mankind understand the difference between lust and love. That's what ails Comstock. Now all poetry, and prose too, for that matter,) which fosters the voluptuous-ress which fills aKke Turkish harems and Christian brothels goes right against the new era of social purity for which you and I work and wait.

"In silence wondrous things are wrought; Silently builded thought on thought, Truth's temples reach the skies. And soundless as chariots on the snow, The acorns of the forest grow To trees of mighty girth." So in the domain of Love, Nature draws curtains of silence and reserve. He who with impious hand lifts the veil, insults nature, womanhood, and the eternal fitness of things." You have learned by this time that I am very generous with the contents of my inkstand No doubt you possess a waste-basket, in which you can take refuge, before reading, with my free permission.
