31108Why were only freight cars, largely hospital wrecks, set on fire?
31108Why, therefore, ignore economic foundations and waste effort remodeling the parasitical superstructure?
31108Yet is there any escape to the conclusion that all this was utter waste of life and devotion?
31903To what purpose is it to re- enact natural laws and to wish to confirm their powerful commands by the ridiculous sanctions of men? 31903 [ 2][ 2]_ Qu''est- ce que la Propriété?_ p. 102.
31903[ 3][ 3]_ Qu''est- ce que la Propriété?_ p. 202. 31903 ***** Are we, then, to take Anarchism seriously, or shall we pass it by merely with a smile of superiority and a deprecating wave of our hand? 31903 ***** Proudhon in his book upon property did not answer the question put in its title,_ What is Property?_ as he had promised in the introduction. 31903 And do you demand that they should annihilate themselves, create freedom, and make revolutions? 31903 And what is the opposite-- the hindrance of these principles? 31903 And what, as a matter of fact, would be the consequences of Anarchy? 31903 And, it may be asked, On what day or by what act was so fortunate a chance offered to Anarchism? 31903 But how can we shake off this Camarilla that shelters itself behind a forest of bayonets? 31903 But how does he mean to bring about this moral order? 31903 But must we now conceive its operations as altogether distinct from those of physiological life? 31903 But what becomes then of the equality to which work was said to lead? 31903 But what is the use of an expropriation, which only means one thing, if a division to all is to follow it? 31903 But what they have placed in their heads, how can it be called other than''a fixed idea''(_ idée fixe_)? 31903 But whether he admits it or not, what is Stirner''sindividual"but an idea, something absolute?
31903But why should revolution from above be impossible?
31903CHAPTER I PRECURSORS AND EARLY HISTORY Forerunners and Early History Definitions-- Is Anarchism a Pathological Phenomenon?
31903Can anyone take this question seriously who is accustomed to look at the life and development of society in the light of facts?
31903Can there be a stronger refutation of Anarchist morality?
31903Does this mean that society is helpless in face of Anarchism?
31903For what purpose are we to overthrow the present order of society, and make any other form of society resting upon authority impossible?
31903Further, what about the impossibility of proving the right of property through work?
31903Have not some already done so with the idea of God, because they thought it merely a product of their own mind?
31903He ought to have gone still farther and said:"If anyone will not do any work, what happens then?
31903How can this be changed?
31903How can we free the country from it?
31903How many became Anarchists because they were outlawed by society on account of free and liberal views?
31903How many children would perish?
31903How many"weaker ones"would fall victims to the brutality of the stronger in the valuation of their individuality?
31903I. PRECURSORS AND EARLY HISTORY 3 Forerunners and Early History-- Definitions-- Is Anarchism a Pathological Phenomenon?
31903If progress leads us to that, of what use is it?"
31903If there was a paradise for the first primitive man, why should there not be one for civilised man of to- day?
31903If we turn back to the question, What is property?
31903Indeed I must ask, How was this possible?
31903Is Anarchy in Europe only ten years old?
31903It was the first time Schlöffel had heard these paradoxes, and he replied:''Nonsense; who can emancipate us from the State?''
31903It will be asked: But what will happen then, when those who have nothing take courage and rise?
31903On this round earth that revolves so rapidly in space, a grain of sand amid infinity, is it worth while for us to hate one another?"
31903Or am I free from despots when I no longer fear a personal tyrant, but am afraid of every outrage upon the loyalty which I owe to him?"
31903Reverse the case: are you so anxious about lack of production?
31903Schlöffel stroked his long beard proudly, and replied,''Do you say that to_ me_?''
31903Supposing both are not disputed, what follows, then?
31903That these ideas, now that they have lost their absolute character, are no longer to be reckoned as factors in the organisation of life?
31903The only question is, who exercises government over us, and who wields the rod of discipline: whether it is others or we ourselves?"
31903The question has not unnaturally been raised, What had Bakunin the cosmopolitan to do at such an institution of national Chauvinism as the Congress?
31903These, at least, are no proofs that the author of_ What is Property?_ allowed himself to be brought over by the man on the 2d December.
31903To what does this lead?
31903We say carelessly, for the concluding answer which Proudhon gives to the question,"What is property?"
31903What are, then, the organs of labour, that is, the forms in which human labour produces and fixes values and keeps off want?
31903What distinction is to disappear?
31903What forms is action to take?
31903What has he to complain of if he is rewarded according to the work which he has performed?
31903What if I simply refuse to recognise the limits made by the Commission of Distribution or to obey their decisions?
31903What is this mission?
31903What kind of equalisation will be made?
31903What, then, is economic freedom?
31903Where is the line to be drawn between the superfluous and the non- superfluous?
31903Where was I to get these writings?
31903Which is the more ancient and more sacred, the unfettered rights of the individual or the welfare of the community?
31903Who can fail to recognise here the exact opposite to the real facts of the case?
31903Who can help laughing at this?
31903Who does not know the arguments which even to- day are used by politicians and savants in the still undecided controversy for and against it?
31903Who is to draw it, and still more, who would recognise it?
31903Who of us would care to be judge and executioner at once in one''s own person?
31903Who will undertake the distribution, and who will respect it?
31903Who would wish to exercise Lynch law?
31903Why not rather,''self- discipline, self- government''?
31903Why say,''without government''?
31903Will anyone compel me?
31903[ 8] What is to be gained thereby?
31903and what does it matter to others?
31903e._, such as represent equal times of labour, must be accepted at any time in place of payment, just as money is accepted to- day?
31903he says;"and do we not thereby declare that we ourselves wish to rule no one?
30506But what is this propaganda except the preaching of well- doing and love of humanity by example? 30506 Condemn the propaganda of deed?"
30506What matters the death of vague human beings--continues the Anarchist logician Tailhade--"if thereby the individual affirms himself?"
30506What more have we to do with State legislation, with State justice, with State police, and with State administration than with State religion? 30506 What was the result?
30506[ 59] Question: How will the new society satisfy the needs of its members? 30506 [ 67] Could the best geometrician in the world ever produce anything more exact than this demonstration?
30506According to Proudhon, before Kant, the believer and the philosopher moved"by an irresistible impulse,"asked themselves,"What is God?"
30506According to what laws?"
30506And after, when they have conquered these?
30506And how can the workers, morally enslaved, rise against the bourgeoisie?
30506And if they are bad what is the good of magistrates to apply them?"
30506And this is the position of every impartial person to- day; for how are you going to divine where the"companion"ends and the bandit begins?
30506Are we not coming back to the standpoint of Morelly who said that humanity in the course of its history has always been"outside nature?"
30506Because the bourgeoisie are not a minority?
30506But abstraction made of the history of humanity, what is there left to guide us in our"legislative"investigations?
30506But again we ask, what is left of the Anarchist when once he rejects the"propaganda of deed"?
30506But do you prefer to hand over France to the Prussians?...
30506But how organise exchange?
30506But how to emancipate the peasants before overthrowing Tzarism?
30506But if this is so, in the name of what moral principle do the Anarchists revolt against the bourgeoisie?
30506But is the_ price_ of commodities always determined by their value?
30506But since this is so, how can the_ individual_, the reality, sacrifice himself for the happiness of man, an abstract being?
30506But what Utopian has not tried to prove this equally with himself?
30506But what in its turn did these"conditions of property"depend on?
30506But what is the impetus, the motive power that sets in motion the human species, that makes it pass from one phase of its evolution to another?
30506But what is the outcome of their fear of parliamentary corruption?
30506But what is this humanity the love of which you prescribe to me?
30506But what is to be done if,"the State having fallen into decay,"it should continue to exist?
30506But what will, what can be the true basis of any given combination of their interests?
30506But, then, what is the cause of the historical transformation of the"human Being?"
30506But,"the State having fallen into decay,"who is to abolish it?
30506But_ what_ individual does he take for his starting- point?
30506By what means is circulation carried out in society?
30506Do not prices continually vary according to the rarity or abundance of these commodities?
30506Do you know how he"invents"the constitution of value?
30506Does this not prove that the human Being is not immutable, but changes in the process of the historical evolution of societies?
30506Following the example of Kant we stated the question thus:"How is it that man possesses?
30506For if laws are beneficent what is the good of deputies and senators to change them?
30506From time immemorial men have asked themselves, What is authority?
30506Having heard that Divinity was but a fiction, he concluded that the State is also a figment: since God does not exist, how can the State exist?
30506How is property acquired?
30506How is the comparison of products instituted?
30506How lost?
30506How shall this absolute liberty, synonymous with order, be brought about?
30506How to explain this historical fact?
30506How to get out of this conflict, how resolve the dilemma without offending the holy laws of Anarchy?
30506How will it make them certain of the morrow?
30506If, as it did in March, 1871, it gave itself a revolutionary Government?
30506In order to set free and to realise all these terms, until now hidden beneath the old symbols of property, what must be done?
30506Indeed, suppose the signatory of a contract freely made does not wish to fulfil his duty?
30506Is it necessary to point out that this"Marxism"is a little too_ sui generis_?
30506Is it political liberty which ought in the nature of things to be the main object of his attention?
30506Is not the political constitution in its turn rooted-- as even Guizot admitted-- in the social constitution of a country?
30506Is not this also a spook, an abstract thing, a creature of the imagination?
30506Is not this an entirely Utopian conception of human nature, and of the social organisation peculiar to it?
30506Is not this sufficiently unjust?
30506Is not this sufficiently"materialist?"
30506Is there any way of putting an end to this interminable and barren controversy?
30506Is this really so?
30506Is this the work of the State?
30506Is this wisdom so difficult of attainment?
30506It is only himself, it is liberty that the citizen seeks in Government.... Then the very essence of the citizen is liberty?
30506Let us now ask, what is this"free agreement"which according to Kropotkine, exists even in capitalist society?
30506May not we also, in the name of freedom, ask the"companions"to leave us alone?
30506Now what is this social struggle?
30506Now, what is the formula of this political and liberal guarantee?
30506Now, what sort of a figure does the property of the"Individual"cut?
30506Of what does this impetus consist?
30506Or again: Which is the better, property or the community?
30506Or because they do not do what they"will"to do?
30506Question: Will production be possible if it depends solely upon the free agreement of individuals?
30506Religious faith would have prevented such theories from being propagated; but has it not almost disappeared to- day?
30506Should I not to- day and in the future be bound by my will of yesterday?
30506Should I only be the holder of property( an allusion to Proudhon)?
30506Suppose we have to do with justice and the penal law, for example?
30506The best organisation of property?
30506The system of Louis Blanc or that of Cabet?
30506The theory of St. Simon or that of Fourier?
30506Then how is it that man labours?
30506They then asked themselves"Which, of all religions, is the best?"
30506This hunt after the best ideal of the society of the future, is not this the Utopian method_ par excellence_?
30506This"most complete autonomy,"is it not also a"metaphysical conception?"
30506Tom, Dick, or Harry?
30506Under what conditions?
30506We did not ask, as our precursors and colleagues had done, Which is the best system of community?
30506We have only to ask ourselves whence comes this idea of authority, of government?
30506What answer can you make them?
30506What are, what can be the basis of their union?
30506What could be easier, what more pleasant?
30506What does it want?
30506What form of legislation therefore can harmonise public good and that of individuals?
30506What is Kropotkine''s conception of Anarchist society?
30506What is the law of its evolution and transformation?
30506What is the standpoint of this new species of Communism?
30506What is this hidden force that causes the historic movement of humanity?
30506What is this liberty which we are assuming to be the essence of the citizen?
30506What then is this system?
30506What, in fine, does it represent?...
30506Where are we to seek it?
30506Where does it exist but in the minds of men, in the minds of individuals?
30506Where is this humanity of yours?
30506Which is the best form of government?
30506Whither does it tend?
30506Who will give us a new ideal?"
30506Why not the Panama Canal?
30506You think my own concerns must at least be''good ones?''
30506[ 20] What did we say in these two publications, one after the other of which fell beneath the blows of the reaction and the state of siege?
30506[ 52] But if the Great Misunderstood had the stupidity to create the"bureaux"so detested of Kropotkine?
30506[ By whom?]
36690''What form of government shall we prefer?'' 36690 And where do they get their power?
36690How is it to be decided whether an object that may be used for the benefit of man shall be my property or yours? 36690 Those who are in the unfavorable position take courage to ask the question,''By what, then, is your property secure, you favored ones?''

23428And, moreover, Is the coal they have extracted entirely_ their_ work?
23428But during our own lifetime, have we not heard the same fears expressed twice?
23428But even this well- being, which is the exclusive right of a few, is it secure?
23428But have we not said and repeated over and over again, that as long as there are capitalists, these abuses of power will be perpetuated?
23428But how can the painter express the poetry of work in the fields if he has only contemplated it, imagined it, if he has never delighted in it himself?
23428But how can we appraise the work of each one of them?
23428But if Lyons manufactured imported silk, why should not Switzerland, Germany, Russia, do as much?
23428But if water were actually scarce, what would be done?
23428But is there no other cause?
23428But the exploiters of labour, how many are they?
23428But upon what basis must society be organized in order that all may have their due share of food produce?
23428But what are we to do to alter the conditions that everybody is convinced are bad?
23428But what is this to an authoritarian?
23428But what was offered to the husbandman in exchange for his hard toil?
23428But, before producing anything, must you not feel the need of it?
23428By what right then can any one whatever appropriate the least morsel of this immense whole and say-- This is mine, not yours?
23428Can there be two answers to these questions?
23428Can they produce all this?
23428Can this be a relic of religious metaphysics?
23428Could we endure them in a society that began by proclaiming equality?
23428Do n''t you think that there is some fundamental error in your understanding of human nature and its needs?"
23428Each time we speak of revolution, the face of the worker who has seen children wanting food darkens and he asks--"What of bread?
23428Has it not created concessions, guarantees?
23428Has it not sent its soldiers against railwaymen on strike?
23428Have we ever known them demand the impossible?
23428How are the necessary provisions to be obtained if the nation as a whole has not accepted Communism?
23428How are you to prevent a person from amassing millions in China, and then settling amongst you?
23428How can it be done?"
23428How could he find dock labourers willing to load and unload his ships for"starvation wages"?
23428How do they continue to convey millions of travellers and mountains of luggage across a continent?
23428How then can food, without which the human machine could do no work, be excluded from the list of things indispensable to the producer?
23428How then, shall we estimate the share of each in the riches which ALL contribute to amass?
23428How?
23428II How many hours a day will man have to work to produce nourishing food, a comfortable home, and necessary clothing for his family?
23428If companies owning railways have been able to agree, why should railway workers, who would take possession of railways, not agree likewise?
23428If he only knows it as a bird of passage knows the country he soars over in his migrations?
23428If the answer is in the affirmative,--What hinders them going ahead?
23428If the most imperious needs of man remain unsatisfied now,--What must we do to increase the productivity of our work?
23428In order to avoid an accidental and transitory inequality, shall we stay our hand from righting an ancient wrong?
23428In the streets wander scores of thousands of men, and in the evening they crowd into improvised clubs, asking:"What shall we do?"
23428Is it he who is the most necessary man in the mine?
23428Is it not also the work of the men who have built the railway leading to the mine and the roads that radiate from all the railway stations?
23428Is it not the study of the needs that should govern production?
23428Is it the doctor who has found out the illness, or the nurse who has brought about recovery by her hygienic care?
23428Is it the engineer on the locomotive?
23428Is it the miner at the bottom of the shaft, who risks his life every instant, and who will some day be killed by fire- damp?
23428Is it time that is needed to achieve such a result?
23428Is it to Maury, the learned physical geographer, who advised that thick cables should be set aside for others as thin as a walking cane?
23428Is not the Paris Commune an instance in point?
23428Knowledge?
23428Must they on his account dissolve the group, elect a president to impose fines, and work out a code of penalties?
23428Must we wait till the Communist Revolution is ripe in all civilized countries?
23428Now, how much do twenty million work- days of five hours make per inhabitant?
23428Or is it the engineer, who would lose the layer of coal, and would cause the miners to dig on rock by a simple mistake in his calculations?
23428Or, is it perhaps the boy who signals to him from below to raise the cage?
23428Shall we be inferior to our grandfathers, who hardly lisped the first words of science?
23428Shall we, then, return to our starting- point, and go through the same evolution again?
23428The fatherland does not exist.... What fatherland can the international banker and the rag- picker have in common?
23428The people will suffer and say:"How is a way out of these difficulties to be found?"
23428The question is, then: whether, taking the present capacity of men for production, every man can have a house of his own?
23428The revolted city will be compelled to do without these"foreigners,"and why not?
23428The signalman who stops the trains, or lets them pass by?
23428The switchman who transfers a train from one line to another?
23428They gave to the work the full measure of their strength, and what more could they give?
23428V And what about art?
23428V By what means could a city in a state of revolution be supplied with food?
23428Was it not necessity that first drove man to hunt, to raise cattle, to cultivate land, to make implements, and later on to invent machinery?
23428Well, then,--What are we going to do when the thunderbolt has fallen?
23428What can be more stupid than rubbing a boot twenty or thirty times with a brush?
23428What difference could a thousand corpses more or less make to him?
23428What does our baron do to enrich himself?
23428What have you gained by your Revolution?"
23428What if the peasants, ignorant tools of reaction, starve our towns as the black bands did in France in 1793--what shall we do?"
23428What is to be done to provide these multitudes with bread?
23428What means has the scientist of to- day to make researches that interest him?
23428What must they do to remove the obstacles?
23428What need to rack our brains when we have the time- honoured method of the Pharaohs at our disposal?
23428What progeny will these trembling and rickety bodies bequeath to their country?
23428What should be the hindrance?
23428What then is to be done?
23428What would a London dockyard or a great Paris warehouse be if they were not situated in these great centres of international commerce?
23428What, too, shall we say to the price which is paid for the relative well- being of certain categories of workmen?
23428Whence will the revolution come?
23428Where, indeed, should it come from?
23428Which one of us can claim the higher remuneration for his work?
23428Who can say that it will not call coercion to its aid again, and set the police pack upon the tenant to hound him out of his hovels?
23428Who does not know what sufferings nearly all great inventions have cost?
23428Who of us has not heard men hold forth in this strain?
23428Who will have a right to the food of the commune?
23428Who, then, can appropriate to himself the tiniest plot of ground, or the meanest building in such a city, without committing a flagrant injustice?
23428Who, then, has the right to sell to any bidder the smallest portion of the common heritage?
23428Who, then, would regulate the traffic if not the Government?"
23428Why fifty fires, when two people and one single fire would suffice to cook all these pieces of meat and all these vegetables?
23428Why has woman''s work never been of any account?
23428Why in every family are the mother and three or four servants obliged to spend so much time at what pertains to cooking?
23428Why roast the founders, when heat lost by radiation represents tons of coal?
23428Why should not a social genius come forward, carry Europe with him and translate the new Gospel into life?
23428Why should we not apply, then, the same principle to the other extremity?
23428Why should we use a machine?
23428Why then are the many poor?
23428Why this painful drudgery for the masses?
23428Will literature lose by it?
23428Will the poet be less a poet after having worked out of doors or helped with his hands to multiply his work?
23428Will there be sufficient, if everyone eats according to his appetite?
23428Will they continue to shut themselves up in factories after the Revolution?
23428Would he burden himself with a lease which absorbed a third of the produce?
23428Would he-- on the_ métayer_ system-- consent to give half of his harvest to the landowner?
23428Would it not be better to start fresh by turning everybody out of doors and redistributing the houses by lot?"
23428You would work like the wife of our good comrade Paul or the wife of John the carpenter?"
23428and have we not constant evidence of this fact in every village commune?
23428and the great dockers''strike?
23428and what is hindering him from having it?
23428how will it announce its coming?
2162''Well, is n''t this enough?'' 2162 Why do you not say how things will be operated under Anarchism?"
2162Why should I join a union? 2162 Why?"
2162[ 1] Could brother Comstock do more? 2162 ''What made you lie so to those poor, misled people? 2162 A Milanese thief said to Lombroso:I do not rob, I merely take from the rich their superfluities; besides, do not advocates and merchants rob?"
2162A gruesome subject, is it not?
2162A wonderful thing to remember, is it not?
2162Add to this horrible aspect the drudgery of housework, and what remains of the protection and glory of the home?
2162After all, has he not sacrificed his life always, so that others may have light and air?
2162After all, is not that the most important consideration?
2162All these busybodies, moral detectives, jailers of the human spirit, what will they say?
2162And are we, who ourselves are not in this horrible predicament, to stand by and coldly condemn these piteous victims of the Furies and Fates?
2162And do they not squander with cosmopolitan grace fortunes coined by American factory children and cotton slaves?
2162And how could the latter be acquired without numbers?
2162And how is he to do it with ten, fifteen, or twenty years''imprisonment before him?
2162And if not, will it endure under Anarchism?
2162And is it not more likely that if he would have taken part, he, the experienced ENTREPRENEUR, would have thoroughly organized the attempt?
2162And what are these pillars?
2162And what is the result of such crusades?
2162And when did she ever enjoy such opportunities as are hers, the politician''s?
2162And where is the superior sense of justice that woman was to bring into the political field?
2162Anything more, my lord?
2162Are not our rich Americans Frenchmen in France, Germans in Germany, or Englishmen in England?
2162Are the labor conditions better there than they are in England, where the suffragettes are making such a heroic struggle?
2162Are they not the masters, the absolute kings of the situation?
2162Are we to assume that the poison already inherent in politics will be decreased, if women were to enter the political arena?
2162Are we, then, to believe that two errors will make a right?
2162As to the knowledge of the woman-- what is there to know except that she has a pleasing appearance?
2162At any rate, woman has no soul-- what is there to know about her?
2162Bewildered, the few asked how could the majority betray the traditions of American liberty?
2162But how can we attain our end?
2162But is it in reality a true organization?
2162But the child, how is it to be protected, if not for marriage?
2162But then, has not authority from time immemorial stamped every step of progress as treasonable?
2162But what about human nature?
2162But what are normal demands to an abnormal institution?
2162But, it is often asked, have not acknowledged Anarchists committed acts of violence?
2162But, then, have not his fetters been forged so deeply into his flesh, that he would not, even if he could, break them?
2162Can anyone assume for a moment that a man like Ferrer would affiliate himself with such a spontaneous, unorganized effort?
2162Can it be changed?
2162Can there be anything more humiliating, more degrading than a life- long proximity between two strangers?
2162Comes it in sunshine?
2162Could all the Puritan fathers have done more?
2162Could anyone assume that these men had advised violence, or even approved of the acts?
2162Did Francisco Ferrer participate in the anti- military uprising?
2162Did they all three even hold the same political opinions?
2162Did you not know it?
2162Discipline and restraint-- are they not back of all the evils in the world?
2162Do n''t you know that you and the authorities of the State are my representatives on earth?
2162Do n''t you know they are already suffering the tortures of hell in their earthly lives?
2162Do n''t you know this?
2162Does it not condemn her to the block, does it not degrade and shame her if she refuses to buy her right to motherhood by selling herself?
2162Does it not say to woman, Only when you follow me shall you bring forth life?
2162Does not marriage only sanction motherhood, even though conceived in hatred, in compulsion?
2162Does there exist a greater motherhood, happier and freer children than in England?
2162Equality, who ever heard of such a thing?
2162Free love?
2162Had the writer forgotten that?
2162Has not some American ancestor said, many years ago, that resistance to tyranny is obedience to God?
2162Has she emancipated herself from the Puritanical double standard of morality for men and women?
2162Has she not been taught from infancy to look upon that as her ultimate calling?
2162Has that helped to develop a greater heroism, an intenser zeal than that of the women of Russia?
2162Has that purified our political life, as many well- meaning advocates predicted?
2162Have I not built up my career step by step, like thousands of my kind?
2162Have I not worked early and late for ten long years?
2162Have I not woven this dress with sleepless nights?
2162Have not the few accumulated the wealth of the world?
2162Have the Catholic priests ever looked upon woman as anything but a sex commodity?
2162He, the savior of his country, the protector of his nation,--what has patriotism in store for him?
2162How can it, when it knows that all suffering, all misery, all ills, result from the evil of submission?
2162How can such an arrangement end except in failure?
2162How could a society machine- sewn, fathom the seething depths whence issued the great masterpiece of Henrik Ibsen?
2162How is it that an institution, known almost to every child, should have been discovered so suddenly?
2162How is it that this evil, known to all sociologists, should now be made such an important issue?
2162How is such a thing possible when ideas, culture, literature, when the deepest and finest emotions groan under the iron yoke?
2162How would America ever retain her virtue if Europe did not help her out?
2162How, then, are they to understand the co- operation of a man and a woman, except on a sex basis?
2162How, then, can any one assume to map out a line of conduct for those to come?
2162If her body can be bought in return for material consideration, why not her vote?
2162If motherhood is the highest fulfillment of woman''s nature, what other protection does it need, save love and freedom?
2162If the mind of the child is to be poisoned with such memories, what hope is there for a true realization of human brotherhood?
2162If the parent has no work, or if he hides his identity, what does marriage do then?
2162If, however, the soil is sterile, how can marriage make it bear fruit?
2162If, then, she can not improve on man''s mistakes, why perpetuate the latter?
2162In short, is it love for the spot, every inch representing dear and precious recollections of a happy, joyous, and playful childhood?
2162In the tempest''s thrill?
2162In view of these economic horrors, is it to be wondered at that prostitution and the white slave trade have become such dominant factors?
2162Indeed?
2162Is he to become a member of the luckless crews that man those dark, ill- starred ships called prisons?...
2162Is it love of one''s birthplace, the place of childhood''s recollections and hopes, dreams and aspirations?
2162Is it not a fact that during industrial depressions there is a tremendous increase in the number of enlistments?
2162Is it not more likely that he prepared them to succor the poor?
2162Is it not rather an arbitrary institution, cunningly imposed upon the masses?
2162Is it not significant that the railroad should lead to the very seat of Federal authority?
2162Is it not strange, then, that we still believe in fetich worship?
2162Is it not the best and most effective way of bringing into the proper light the absolute uselessness and injury of parasitism?
2162Is it of any avail that a former president of a republic pays homage at Osawatomie to the memory of John Brown?
2162Is it psychologically possible that Ferrer should have participated?
2162Is it that they are absolutely ignorant of the history of religion, and especially of the Christian religion?
2162Is it the place where we would listen to the music of the birds, and long to have wings to fly, even as they, to distant lands?
2162Is it the place where, in childlike naivety, we would watch the fleeting clouds, and wonder why we, too, could not run so swiftly?
2162Is it their fault if they see clearly and suffer at seeing others suffer?
2162Is she not a practiced henchman, whose trials of her enemies are the worst mockery of justice?
2162Is woman there no longer considered a mere sex commodity?
2162Marriage may have the power to bring the horse to water, but has it ever made him drink?
2162Need I say that in art we are confronted with the same sad facts?
2162Now that it is no longer a beautiful vision, but a"practical, workable scheme,"resting on the will of the majority, why not?
2162Now, what did this"terrible crime"really consist of?
2162Of what avail is all this when, at the same time, the LIVING John Browns and Proudhons are being crucified?
2162Or is it not the most brutal imposition for one set of people to make laws that another set is coerced by force to obey?
2162Or is it that they hope to blind the present generation to the part played in the past by the Church in relation to prostitution?
2162Or the place where we would sit at mother''s knee, enraptured by wonderful tales of great deeds and conquests?
2162PATRIOTISM: A MENACE TO LIBERTY What is patriotism?
2162Poor America, of what avail is all her wealth, if the individuals comprising the nation are wretchedly poor?
2162Poverty in all its horrors and ugliness to be dished out as an after- dinner amusement?
2162Prison, a social protection?
2162Strange, is n''t it, that a woman who has a kept a"house"should be able to feel that way?
2162The awe of authority, of law, of private property, hundredfold burned into his soul,--how is he to throw it off unprepared, unexpectedly?
2162The colleges and other institutions of learning, are they not models of organization, offering the people fine opportunities for instruction?
2162The economic, political, moral, and physical factors being the microbes of crime, how does society meet the situation?
2162The important and only God of practical American life: Can the man make a living?
2162The law will place the father under arrest, and put him in convict''s clothes; but has that ever stilled the hunger of the child?
2162The moral lesson instilled in the girl is not whether the man has aroused her love, but rather is it,"How much?"
2162To be sure, has she not incited violence even before her birth, and will she not continue to do so beyond death?
2162To entertain the fleet, did I say?
2162Was Averbuch an Anarchist?
2162Was not his mind singularly clear, analytic?
2162Were these people Anarchists?
2162What about the glory of woman suffrage, since it has failed utterly in the most important social issue, the child?
2162What could not have been accomplished with such an enormous sum?
2162What does the history of parliamentarism show?
2162What has she achieved through her emancipation?
2162What is really the cause of the trade in women?
2162What is the cause that compels a vast army of the human family to take to crime, to prefer the hideous life within prison walls to the life outside?
2162What is the real basis of punishment, however?
2162What led to his act?
2162What might have been her future development had she remained in this milieu?
2162What monstrous mind ever conceived such an idea?
2162What tortures of hell did you depict?
2162What would become of the rich, if not for the poor?
2162What you call crime is nothing; a murder here, a theft there, a blow now and a curse there: what do they matter?
2162What, then, are the objections?
2162What, then, is patriotism?
2162Where are the Finnish Perovskaias, Spiridonovas, Figners, Breshkovskaias?
2162Where are the countless numbers of Finnish young girls who cheerfully go to Siberia for their cause?
2162Where are the women in any suffrage country or State that can lay claim to such a victory?
2162Where was its judgment, its reasoning capacity?
2162Where were the women politicians then, and why did they not exercise the power of their vote?
2162Wherein, then, are the advantages to woman and society from woman suffrage?
2162Who but the most ignorant dare speak of woman as a mere domestic drudge?
2162Who dare suggest that this or that profession should not be open to her?
2162Who does not know this never- varying refrain of all politicians?
2162Who has not heard this litany before?
2162Who shall ever do justice or adequately portray her heroism and self- sacrifice, her loyalty and devotion?
2162Who would create wealth?
2162Who would fight wars?
2162Who would make the policeman, the jailer, if woman were to refuse the indiscriminate breeding of children?
2162Whom in the world should I ask but you?
2162Why do they not deter?
2162Why does the public tolerate such an outrage on its liberties?
2162Why has the ballot not created them?
2162Why not?
2162Why should I blush before anyone?
2162Why should they punish me for taking by somewhat similar means from those who have taken more than they had a right to?"
2162Why should this gold upon my body, and the lustre which surrounds my name, only increase my infamy?
2162Why teach the child to hate something which does not exist?
2162Why then expect perseverance or energy of Laura?
2162Why, then, are prisons a social crime and a failure?
2162Why, why these foul murders?
2162Will anyone say that Vaillant was an ignorant, vicious man, or a lunatic?
2162Will it ever?
2162Will it not lead to a revolution?
2162With Mrs. Warren these girls feel,"Why waste your life working for a few shillings a week in a scullery, eighteen hours a day?"
2162With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?
2162Wonderfully inspiring atmosphere for the bearing of life, is it not?
2162Would he not have known that it would result in a defeat, a disastrous defeat for the people?
2162Yet who can deny that the same applies with equal force to the present time, even to American prisons?
2162Yet who dare say his death was in vain?
2162Yet, how can any one speak of it today, with every soul in a prison, with every heart fettered, wounded, and maimed?
2162can he support a wife?
27118Are you not a little impertinent?
27118But what do you want here?
27118Oh, you have, have you? 27118 One thing more,"cried the prisoner;"is it still the case that the American people enjoy their freedom best when they are enslaved in some way?"
27118What are you going to do?
27118What do you mean by still responding?
27118What for?
27118What is jail?
27118What shall I do with them?
27118Who are you and what do you want?
27118Why are you here?
27118Why impossible? 27118 ( Did not the fate of Cyrano de Bergerac lie in his gigantic nose?) 27118 (_ Bertha takes off Rita''s wraps._) RITA(_ turns around merrily_): Tell me, Bertha, why does not the electric bell ring? 27118 (_ Flattering_) Why did you kiss me before? 27118 (_ He also sits down._) But-- you are not well to- day? 27118 (_ He kisses her hands wildly._) RITA(_ stoops down to him, softly and merrily_): Why run away? 27118 (_ He pushes her with gentle force_) You cry? 27118 (_ Laughs._) Have you lost all sense of shame? 27118 (_ Rita looks at him with an ironical smile and remains silent._) FRIEDRICH: You remember me? 27118 (_ Rita''s singing has grown louder_) Do n''t you hear how she sings? 27118 (_ She holds them toward Friedrich and asks_) Did he say anything? 27118 (_ She leaves._) RITA(_ calls after her_): And where is the coffee? 27118 (_ She sits down, with a gesture of the hand_) Please, what have you to say to me? 27118 (_ She steps up closer to him._) Do you know, Fred, that during the years after my escape I often went hungry, brutally hungry? 27118 (_ Stepping in front of him_) Or what did you take me for when I kissed you? 27118 (_ harshly_) But if you do not come in the name of my father, what do you want here? 27118 Ability personified, and he had grown to be fifty- two years of age and was still, still-- how shall I say? 27118 Anarchists within the walls of Syracuse? 27118 And I beg of you, Miss Erna---- RITA: Erna? 27118 And do you understand, Fred, that it would be base on my part were I to follow you to the Philistine? 27118 And does he expect to come again to- day? 27118 And does it not tower mountain high over other nations? 27118 And if the man possess her, does she not equally possess him? 27118 And is it not pathetic to hear the women, dimly conscious of their backbones, declaring that they will not promise to obey? 27118 And why? 27118 And yet, how in this world can a woman do a finer, wiser, braver, truer thing than to bear a child in freedom by a carefully chosen father? 27118 And your father? 27118 Are you going to-- are you going to be good? 27118 BERTHA(_ enters_): My lady? 27118 BERTHA(_ walks through the middle_): My lady, your pleasure? 27118 BERTHA: What? 27118 Baron von Schlippenbach or an American representative of law and disorder,--where is the difference? 27118 Besides, is the mother not to be considered? 27118 But how could I ever have thought that you were meant by it? 27118 But how could there be separate ways so long as the slavery of marriage remained? 27118 But is not the tragedy greater, the suffering of the individual increased, by influences he can not control, the existing social and moral conditions? 27118 But why spoil it by bad example of applying for protection from the city authorities? 27118 Can it be that marriage, as an institution, has indeed proved itself in experience such a terrible failure? 27118 Can it be that the secret, serious voice of mankind proclaims the jest truth in masquerade? 27118 Can you ask me that? 27118 Did I impress you? 27118 Do n''t you understand me? 27118 Do n''t you? 27118 Do we not all know of women who in widowhood take care of their families? 27118 Do we not know of women who take care of their husbands as well as of their children? 27118 Do you call that happiness, this being alone? 27118 Do you expect all the blessings of civilization for nothing?
27118Do you hear me, Erna?
27118Do you know that I ran about in the most frightful dives, with rattling plate, collecting pennies and insults?
27118Do you know what it means to humiliate oneself for dry bread?
27118Do you really not know it?
27118Do you still remember that time, Erna?
27118Do you suppose one could get an electric bell repaired here?
27118Do you understand that I had to become an entirely different person or go to ruin?
27118Do you want to murder me?"
27118Economic necessity?
27118Erna, Erna, how could you do that?
27118FRIEDRICH(_ after a silence, hesitatingly_): Well, are you going to allow me to call you Erna again, as of yore?
27118FRIEDRICH(_ happy_): Yes?
27118FRIEDRICH(_ looks at her calmly_): Well, is there anything wrong about it?
27118FRIEDRICH(_ returns, confused_): Pardon me, I---- RITA: Poor Fred, did you stray into my bedroom?
27118FRIEDRICH(_ surprised_): Is that possible?
27118FRIEDRICH: And I?
27118FRIEDRICH: How is that?
27118FRIEDRICH: How so?
27118FRIEDRICH: How?
27118FRIEDRICH: How?
27118FRIEDRICH: I thought----(_ Bertha comes with the coffee and serves._) RITA: Will you take a cup with me?
27118FRIEDRICH: No-- why?
27118FRIEDRICH: Oh, Erna---- RITA: But now you''ll call me Rita-- do you understand?
27118FRIEDRICH: The-- the Count-- did you say?
27118FRIEDRICH: Then?
27118FRIEDRICH: What do you mean?
27118FRIEDRICH: What is the matter?
27118FRIEDRICH: Why not?
27118Fine-- is it not?
27118For what purpose?
27118Has anybody called?
27118Have you still so much to say to me?
27118He has---- RITA: Well, yes; I mean anyone else?
27118His answer was peculiar only in that he put into words a description of the attitude of the average parent:"Talked to him about that?
27118Hm!--but then, what then?
27118How did you find me, anyway?
27118How is that for our law- abiding citizens?
27118How long ago is it?
27118How many hard and cold stone cliffs meet its large wondering gaze?
27118I hoped that I might expect, after these four or five years, that you would receive me differently than with this-- with this-- how shall I say?
27118I know very well, and I can not ask it of you, that you, in a career like yours, you---- RITA: Hm?
27118I shall never be anything to you any more?
27118If I would care to, if I really would return-- what then?
27118If that be so, how can there be any more immorality in the exercise of it than in the process of digestion?
27118If you still love me, can you run off-- you mule?
27118Is it not heavenly irony that God pressed the headman''s sword of morals into the hands of the newspaper writers?
27118Is it not incomparably virtuous, ideal and brave?
27118Is it not so?
27118Is it not the gem of the ocean?
27118Is not God to be thanked that he has given us light to see the horrors of polygamy?
27118Is not monogamy the mainstay of our morals?
27118Is not the existence of government considered as a necessity on the grounds that it is here to maintain peace, law and order?
27118Is that your last word?
27118Is the child to be considered as an individuality, or as an object to be moulded according to the whims and fancies of those about it?
27118It sounds more natural, eh?
27118Life?
27118May I?
27118Must not one suppose that parents should be united to children by the most tender and delicate chords?
27118Must we not always and forever consider others-- and our surroundings?
27118One who owes everything to himself, who is proud of himself, but who no longer respects anything, above all, no conventional measures and weights?
27118Or that the Social Democratic father can point to his little girl of six and say,"Who wrote the Capital, dearie?"
27118Or will you not spread your wings over mediocrity, or will you not shield indifference, and protect the gray and uniformly fleeced herd?
27118RITA(_ after a pause, awakens from her meditation, harshly_): Perhaps you were sent by my father?
27118RITA(_ after a pause, hostile_): You wish to be taken seriously?
27118RITA(_ from within_): Well?
27118RITA(_ in the door_): Well?
27118RITA(_ interrupts him sharply_): Demand?
27118RITA(_ jovially_): Who knows?
27118RITA(_ laughs_): What business is that of yours?
27118RITA(_ laughs_): Why did you not go to the"Winter Garden"when you were in Berlin?
27118RITA(_ looks at him searchingly_): Sooner than I and all the world?
27118RITA(_ proudly_): How I could?
27118RITA(_ without noticing him, to Bertha_): Well?
27118RITA: A man, who ventured to pay his debts with me---- FRIEDRICH: How so; what do you mean?
27118RITA: But how did it happen that, regardless of this, of this disappointment, you, nevertheless, continued to search for me?
27118RITA: Certainly---- FRIEDRICH: Do you see?
27118RITA: Did he ask-- anything else?
27118RITA: Do I look as though I hesitated?
27118RITA: From England?
27118RITA: His card?
27118RITA: How?
27118RITA: Is it possible?
27118RITA: Must?
27118RITA: Not well?
27118RITA: O, Bertholina,_ why_ has the man not yet repaired it?
27118RITA: Torment?
27118RITA: Well?
27118RITA: What will stop?
27118RITA: Which tone?
27118RITA: Yes-- now, please, what would I have to do in order to fulfill your demand?
27118Shall I start a cooking school?
27118Shall I tell you what was your ideal-- how you would have liked to find me again?
27118So that is still going on?"
27118Society still believes in them?"
27118Some will ask, what about weak natures, must they not be protected?
27118Terrible thing, is n''t it?
27118That''s better, is n''t it?
27118The city?
27118Then why not have motherhood without its immoral, artificial adjunct, marriage?
27118Then you certainly speak English?
27118Was it not chosen by Providence to become the leading nation on earth?
27118Well, then, you would be in the midst of the family and society again-- and then---- RITA: And then?
27118Well-- I could come back?
27118Well?
27118What are the results of such methods of biasing the mind?
27118What can be clearer than that a woman has the inherent right to bear children if she wish?
27118What do you do for a living?"
27118What do you suppose that costs?
27118What do you want of me?
27118What else is the meaning of the hush and blush that go to any reference to sex, sign or manifestation of sex?
27118What has become of your good training?
27118What has monogamy or polygamy or polyandry to do with this matter?
27118What is his title to the love or gratitude or self- abnegation of his child?
27118What makes you say so?
27118What prompted you to leave so suddenly?
27118What relationship existed between you and the Count?
27118What right has any father to make a sacrifice of his child?
27118What was I to do?
27118What''s the matter?
27118When she finishes, he puts his stiff hat on the table and walks toward her with a blissful smile._) RITA: Now?
27118Whence come the mulattoes and the half- breeds of all sorts?
27118Where are they?"
27118Where?
27118Who is it?
27118Who so credulous as to believe the fable of monogamy?
27118Why do you come?
27118Why not buy me also?
27118Why not economic stupidity?
27118Why should I be here?
27118Why should I have looked you up otherwise?
27118Why, the great political parties are responding to the cry of the downtrodden masses, and--""Oh,"he said dreamily,"they are still responding?"
27118Why?
27118Why?
27118Why?
27118Will you deny that you have imagined it thus and even wished for it?
27118With what can you serve me?
27118Yes?
27118Yes?
27118You can not be so cold and heartless towards me?
27118You certainly expect to stay here some time, do you not?
27118You certainly know that, do n''t you?
27118You demand something of me?
27118You did not expect to eat them, did you?
27118You even smile?
27118You know that pretty part in the Walküre?
27118You know that, yes?
27118You still hesitate?
27118You want-- to remain what you are?
27118You-- come to see me?
27118how could I have forgotten the ballot box?"
27118what of her?
43098''Tis funny, ai nt it? 43098 Ai nt it terrible?"
43098And each one of those children has an equal right to life and liberty?
43098Do you believe him to be omnipotent, omniscient, and all- just?
43098Do you think all people alike?
43098Does he ever speak of it?
43098Have you lived here long?
43098How are vacancies to be obtained? 43098 How do you propose to get all this?"
43098How much rent do you pay?
43098Like it?
43098Mrs. Bossert,I cried out,"are n''t you ashamed of yourself?
43098My clothes,I reiterated;"are they here or upstairs?"
43098No,he said shortly, and then with a sudden look at her,"Effie, what do you think love is?"
43098One over the other?
43098Shall I help you over?
43098The criminal slew,says Tolstoy:"are you better, then, when you slay?
43098The result? 43098 Then you believe he has the power to order all things as he wills, and being all- just he wills all things according to justice?"
43098Then you believe him to be the impartially- loving father of all his created children?
43098Three rooms?
43098What do you mean? 43098 What was it blew?
43098Where is our bridge?
43098Which is?
43098Will you kiss me once? 43098 Will you let me off at Ninth and Race?"
43098Would you like to hear that they,--one,--the worst of them, was dead?
43098***** What have you done, O Church, That the weary should bless your name?
43098= Why?
43098A dream?
43098A sharp contraction went across the strong bent face:"No?
43098A vision?
43098AVE ET VALE Comrades, what matter the watch- night tells That a New Year comes or goes?
43098Abraham, David, Solomon,--could any respectable member of society admit that he had done the things they did?
43098After a little silence she asked without looking at him:"What are you thinking of, Bernard?"
43098After all, who are the really old?
43098Ah, know we not in their feasting halls Where the loud laugh echoes again, That brick and stone in the mortared walls Are the bones of murdered men?
43098Am I blasphemous?
43098Am I blasphemous?
43098Am I not as the rest of you, With a hope to reach, and a dream to live?
43098Am I not the breath of life that pants and struggles for relief?"
43098Am I repentant because I saved its starving body from Famine''s teeth?
43098Am I repentant for that, you ask?
43098Am I repentant for the act, the last on earth in my power, to save From the long- drawn misery of life, in the early death and the painless grave?
43098An hour later she was back at the old question,"Was it my fault?"
43098And begin to quest the libraries for literary justifications of their preference?
43098And does not all the audience go home in love with her?
43098And for one''s ideal dream of a fat meal?
43098And have we not Zaza, who is worth a thousand of her respectable lover and his respectable wife?
43098And if you have not yourself, are you able to delegate to any judge the power which you have not?
43098And is the action of the man who takes the necessities which have been denied to him really criminal?
43098And leap in again?
43098And meanwhile?
43098And pray, what idea of life should a people have whose means of life in their own way have been taken from them?
43098And she thought on,"Why does he want to live at all, why does any one want to live, why do I want to live myself?"
43098And suddenly the question came into my head:''If you had the power would you save Nathaniel''s life or bring back the water to the glen?''
43098And tear back?
43098And that other men, with guns upon their shoulders, ride beside them-- with orders to kill if the living links break?
43098And the earth is gray; A bitter wind is driving from the north; The stone is cold, and strange cold whispers say:"What do ye here with Death?
43098And was I less Than you?
43098And what help is there?
43098And what hope is there?
43098And what is the result of it?
43098And what of the dream that turned to madness and destroyed the thing it loved the best?
43098And when you have done all this, what then do you do to them, these creatures of your own making?
43098And why defense at all?
43098And why punishment?
43098And why shall they not become thieves?
43098And why?
43098Are these all the aims of Anarchism?
43098Are we not they who delve and blast And hammer and build and burn?
43098Are you feeble and timid of spirit?
43098Are you in a hurry?"
43098Are you strong and courageous?
43098As a prominent lawyer, Mr. Thomas Earle White, of Philadelphia, himself an Anarchist, said to me not long since:"What are you going to do about it?
43098Ask a method?
43098At Macon, in the sixth century, says August Bebel, the fathers of the Church met and proposed the decision of the question,"Has woman a soul?"
43098At what moment will the fierce impurities borne from its somber and tenebrous past be hurled up in you?
43098BASTARD BORN Why do you clothe me with scarlet of shame?
43098Because I hastened what time would do, to spare it pain and relieve its death?
43098Bred for the shambles, with curses begotten, Useless to all save the rotting grave- worm?
43098But do you think it''s love that makes David act as he does to you?
43098But meanwhile must we not punish to protect ourselves?
43098But what, say you, had it to do with his instinctive modesty?
43098But whatever you think of Morral, pray why was Ferrer arrested and the Modern School of Barcelona closed?
43098But who can know them all?
43098But"Oh, how, how was the miracle accomplished?
43098But, do you know what I am thinking?"
43098Can they lay aught on thee with"Be alone,"That hast conquered breath?
43098Can they weight thee now with the heaviest stone?
43098Can this be done in a city?
43098Could they who had seen these things"forgive and forget"?
43098Dare you say that?
43098Defense of what?
43098Defense to whom?
43098Did Ferrer know this?
43098Did I accuse you?"
43098Did I not love it?
43098Did they shrink from the stab of the dressmaker''s needle?
43098Did they sleep, I wonder, on the night before the 20th of May, when that dark thunder of vengeance was gathering to break?
43098Did you ever see a dead vine bloom?
43098Did you not know it all long ago?"
43098Do I have time to waste on this disgusting scene?
43098Do I not also live where you have sought to pierce in vain?
43098Do I not fear for the judgment hour?
43098Do I repent that I killed the babe?
43098Do I repent?
43098Do n''t they look beautiful?"
43098Do they mean anything at all by it?
43098Do they not know how all this traffic would crumble like the ash of a burnt- out fire, once the blaze of science were to flame through Spain?
43098Do we forget them, these broken ones, That our watch to- night is set?
43098Do we not appear therein as curious little dwarfs who have somehow gotten"big heads"?
43098Do we not know that our brothers die In the cold and the dark to- night?
43098Do you ask Spring her method?
43098Do you ask whence the perfume that round you creeps When your soul is wrought to the quick with pain?
43098Do you curse the bloom of the heather wild?
43098Do you expect healthy morals out of all these poisoned bodies?
43098Do you keep to the law of the just, And hold to the changeless true?
43098Do you know that every day men run in long procession, upon the road they build for others''safe and easy going, bound to a chain?
43098Do you know what it is they see up there above you, they whose eyes look through the mist of gray and the shroud of darkness?
43098Do you know what it is?
43098Do you know,"turning suddenly to him with a sharp change in face and voice,"what I would be wicked enough to do, if I could?"
43098Do you punish them for their idiocy or for their unfortunate physical condition?
43098Do you question the sun that it gives its gold?
43098Do you remember when Nathaniel died?
43098Do you scowl at the cloud when it pours its rain Till the fields that were withered and burnt and old Are fresh and tender and young again?
43098Do you search the source of the breeze that sweeps The rush of the fever from tortured brain?
43098Do you shun the bird- songs''silver shower?
43098Do you still expect the due of youth and beauty?
43098Do you think people come out of a place like that better?
43098Do you trample the flowers and cry"impure"?
43098Does any one want to shake his hand, the hand that kills for pay?
43098Does it mean that in our day there is nothing interesting in good health, in well- ordered lives?
43098Does not each bosom shelter me that beats with honor''s generous tide?
43098Does their music arouse your curling scorn That none but God blessed them?
43098For what is it to be legitimate, born"according to law"?
43098For who are we to be bound and drowned In this river of human blood?
43098Go into the courts, and fight for your legal rights?
43098Going to see Chinatown?"
43098Had the hammers been beating on that fair young face?
43098Hanging?
43098Has not one of our latter- day martyrs said,"Men die, but principles live"?
43098Have I not promised you a sweet release when your dark pilgrimage on earth is o''er?
43098Have I wronged any?
43098Have we not the"Second Mrs. Tanqueray"who comes to grief through an endeavor to conform to a moral standard that does not fit?
43098Have we not the_ Philistine_ and its witty editor, boldly proclaiming in Anarchistic spelling,"I am an Anarkist?"
43098Have you blown out the breath of their sighs?
43098Have you ever watched it coming in,--the sea?
43098Have you ever wondered in the midst of it all_ which particular drops of water_ would strike the wall?
43098Have you heard the children''s moan, By the light of the skies denied?
43098Have you heard the cry in the night Going up from the outraged heart, Masked from the social sight By the cloak that but angered the smart?
43098Have you no such thing as a slave?
43098Have you strengthened the weak, the ill?
43098Have you touched, have you known, have you felt, Have you bent and softly smiled In the face of the woman, who dwelt In lewdness-- to feed her child?
43098Have you wiped the dark tears from their eyes, And bade their sobbings be still?
43098He entered with a smile:"Can I do anything for you this morning?"
43098He glanced at the crowd with a thin smile:"Do?
43098He smiled tolerantly:"You, wicked?
43098He took another''s liberty; and is it the right way, therefore, for you to take his?
43098He went on:"You love the child, do n''t you?
43098How and when were these schools founded?
43098How are gardens possible in a city?
43098How could it be anything else?
43098How did they know it would come?
43098How do you guard the trust That the people repose in you?
43098How free are your people, pray?
43098How hast Thou heard their prayers Smoking up from the bleeding sod, Who, crushed by their weight of cares, Cried up to Thee, Most High God?
43098How to explain it?
43098How will the chains be broken?
43098However, Madero and his aids are in, as was expected; the question is, how will they stay in?
43098I conceive the poor wretch might reply as follows:) To say in my defense?
43098I shall smile when I die"?
43098If he is so bad a man, why in the name of wonder did he ever get in the penitentiary?
43098If he is so_ great_ a criminal, why is he not with the rest of the spawn of crime, dining at Delmonico''s or enjoying a trip to Europe?
43098If he loved you, would he let you work as you work?
43098Ignorant, mean and soulless was he?
43098In Defense of Emma Goldman and the Right of Expropriation The light is pleasant, is it not, my friends?
43098In the end I swallowed it as I did a lot of other"pre- digested"knowledge(?)
43098Is Bella ready to go?"
43098Is he morally worse than the man who crawls in a cellar and dies of starvation?
43098Is he to be let go, as he is now, until he does some violent deed and then be judged more hardly because of his natural defect?
43098Is it a wonder that most of them came out Anarchists?
43098Is it any wonder that the law of compulsory education is a mockery?
43098Is it life to creep and crawl and beg, And slink for shelter where rats congregate?
43098Is it not enough that"things are cruel and blind"?
43098Is it that you are weary of the yoke of love I lay on you?
43098Is it, then, life, to wait another''s nod, For leave to turn yourself to gold for him?
43098Is there aught in them you can see To merit this hemlock you make me drink?
43098Is there nothing more divine Than the patched up broils of Congress,--venal, full of meat and wine?
43098Is there, say you, nothing higher-- naught, God save us, that transcends Laws of cotton texture wove by vulgar men for vulgar ends?
43098Is this the way to the kitchen?
43098Is this thy word, O Mother, with stern eyes, Crowning thy dead with stone- caressing touch?
43098Is this your Divine Justice?
43098Is this your faith?
43098It does not occur to them that the child''s question,"What do I have to learn that for?"
43098It says,"Do you believe in God?"
43098Know ye the Law, that ye dare to blast The bell of gold with your clanging brass?
43098Know ye the harvest the reapers reap Who drop in the furrow the seed of scorn?
43098LOVE''S COMPENSATION I went before God, and he said,"What fruit of the life I gave?"
43098Let woman ask herself,"Why am I the slave of Man?
43098Love them and help them, to teach them to be better?
43098May we not linger till the day is broad?
43098May we not weep o''er him that martyred lies, Slain in our name, for that he loved us much?
43098Me, who knew That the gentlest soul in the world looked there, Out of the gray eyes that pitied you E''en while you cursed her?
43098Moreover, who is to say how they may develop their methods once they have a free opportunity to do so?
43098Mourn ye the prisoner from his chains let free?
43098Must we also be cruel and blind?
43098Must we forever thus worthlessly perish, Burned in the desert and lost in the snow?
43098My own fingers were curiously numb and inert; had I, too, become a shadow?
43098Nay, none are stirring in this stinging dawn-- None but poor wretches that make no moan to God: What use are these, O thou with dagger drawn?
43098No longer than a week since an Anarchist(?)
43098No, you have never felt it?
43098Not every brow that boldly thinks erect with manhood''s honest pride?
43098Not every workshop brooding woe, not every hut that harbors grief?
43098Not strange if some should pause and shudder and cry out,"Is it worth the sacrifice?"

43098Oh, in the mass of sunshine must they still cry for light?
43098Oh, is there no one to find or to speak a meaning to_ me_, To me as I am,--the hard, the ignorant, withered- souled worker?
43098Oh, that my god will none of me?
43098Only a little, only so much as to give you health again; is that too much?
43098Only one of the commonest common people, Only a worked- out body, a shriveled and withered soul, What right have I to sing then?
43098Or bow to the chalice that holds The wine of your Sacred Feast?
43098Or did they dread some stronger weapon?
43098Or does it mean simply that the most powerful writers are themselves diseased, and can only paint disease?
43098Or does it mean that the rarest thing in all the world is the so- called normal man, whom tacit consent assumes to be the commonest?
43098Or rather what does Government do with them?
43098Or remembering Say that her love had bloomed from Hell?
43098Regard it a proof that the people were appeased?
43098Rests not a nook for me to dwell in every heart, in every brain?
43098Shall the fruitless root not burn, And be wasted utterly?"

43098Shall you then cry out for punishment if they are hurled up in another?
43098She had not expected such an one; how could she?
43098She looked at him once as she said,"What do you think the people will do about it?"
43098She walked away and sat down in a corner alone; what could she do, what could any one do?
43098Should I say that I blush for this face of Man?
43098Should come with faith''s holy torch To light up your altar''d fane?

43098Should we call it a condition of peace?
43098So if it was justice to Effie, what is it to that other woman?
43098So there is enough, who cares?
43098So unrepentant, so hard and cold?

43098The glitter and blare in the laughing press, And din of the merry street?
43098The indifferentist shrugs his shoulders and remarks to the conservative:"What have I to do with it?
43098The problem then becomes, Is it possible to stir men from their indifference?
43098The question naturally intrudes, How does the Church, how do the religious orders manage to accumulate such wealth?
43098The rest?
43098The sources of wealth remain indivisible forever; who cares if one has a little more or less, so all have enough?
43098The very best answer a child ever gets to its legitimate inquiry,"Why do I have to learn such and such a thing?"
