itics, in judging the ability to vote.
We must not let the word “democ
racy” run away with our head. Pau
perism is in the same light. Don’t
think that taboos of today will save
the generation of tomorrow.
Combine good genetics with good
environment,—start now. See that
the former is used to reduce the
unfit, the latter, to develop the pro
ducts of the former, or the next
generation will hold you to account.
And so ends “Heredity and Human
Affairs,” by East.
It is really worthwhile reading,
easily understandable, and sugges
tive to thought. Whether one be
lieves as East or not it brings out
another side to many ancient ques
tions. Seemingly, the geneticists
want to do something but they aren’t
quite definite; they are on the wrong
foot. In fact, there is a diverse
opinion among all social sciences on
exactly what sized shoe will make
the corn on the foot quit aching.
A SHORT HISTORY OF WOMEN
By
JOHN LANGDON DAVIS
“In principio muliere est homines
confusia,” and the author goes to
great length to prove that this is
so only because of man’s imbecili
ties and mistakes. Indeed he makes
it very logical and uses the trick
of decking his ideas out as known
facts so that they will seem so ob
vious that the reader will think that
he is an imbecile and is making a
mistake if he does not agree with
the writer.
The great truth is expounded that
the curse of God in condemning man
to earn his bread by the sweat of
his brow is no curse at all for wo
men and women are happiest when
they have work, all the work they
can possibly do, to fill up their
waking day.
As a fitting close for this history
there is a prophecy, a rather inter
esting prophecy for it states that
the hand that rocks the cradle and
rules the world will, in the next
hundred years, due to the combined
influence of education and birth
control, cease to rock and continue
to rule.
Fortunately this process of un
manning the male will be somewhat
of a painless extraction and the pro
gress of it so gradual that the poor
hero of a hundred years hence will
never realize that he should be the
one that is wearing trousers and
short hair. Which only shows that
the he-man along with the American
is a vanishing race.
ertion and, due to a twist of the
mind that attributes any thing un
known to an unknown divinity for
its origin and explanation offers a
seemingly sound foundation for the
erection of a state of mental peace;
the scientists stagnation.
And mental peace is stagnation for
the man who holds up peace of mind
as an ideal toward which he will
strive, upon investigation will find
that the less mind the more the
peace and will arrive ultimately at
the idiot as an ideal. Therefore it
is not beyond the realms of reason
to say that the mystic is in the em-
broyo stages of idiocy and has com
mitted a crime against society by
taking the advancements of society
to arrive at and maintain his posi
tion ©f mental peace and idiocy and
not, following his own natural doc
trine, picking a mother who was cap
able of making an idiot of him in
the
beginning.

Mysticism is a term applied by
pseudo-scientists to any form of be
lief that has not as its basis a crit
ical type of mind. It matters not if
the belief were once as radical as
possible and has now, due to the
rise of newer beliefs, become conser
vative. The fact remains, as they
see it, that there is not a constant
seeking after change (advanced
knowledge) and so they apply the
term to imply stagnation.
Mysticism has been defined until
no two men can conceive of it being
what any other two men do. Another
definition can not possibly do any
damage therefore:
Mysticism is a tendency of man,
when in contact with the unknown,
to dismiss it by saying it is un
knowable. It is the ideal lazy man’s
