apers affiliated with the party. Yet, because the question of the
qualifications of five representatives of this system of abomination to
make laws for the State of New York was so much as raised by a judicial
inquiry in the New York Assembly, that body of legislators has been
assailed and falsely charged with undermining the fundamental principles
of representative government. The ignorance concerning the true
character of the Socialist Party of America is startling.

Is it not time for the American people to awake? Should not every decent
American petition all our legislative bodies, state and national, to
outlaw the Socialist Party of America and curb its iniquitous
propaganda?

CHAPTER XXI

THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE RACE

To most persons it will certainly be a surprise to hear that race
suicide has been openly advocated in the columns of leading Socialist
publications. True it is that the number of individuals endeavoring to
spread this practice by their writings is comparatively[21] small;
still, as the articles have continued to appear for years at more or
less regular intervals, without exciting anything like serious
opposition, we are forced to conclude that advocacy of race suicide is
looked upon by a very large number of the Revolutionists as one of their
characteristic virtues.

Though many vile articles advocating race suicide were published in the
1910 and the 1911 editions of "The New York Call," we shall pass them
over, and discuss those of a more recent date.

In the Sunday editions of "The Call," Anita C. Block has for years been
editing a page called "Woman's Sphere." This section of the paper on the
24th of March, 1912, contained an editorial comment under the caption
"Enforced Motherhood and the Law," in which the practice of base and
criminal race suicide is encouraged:

"Within a space covering not much more than a month, six letters have
been received by us, containing in substance about what is contained in
the following letter:

"'Mrs. A. C. Block, New York City:

"'Dear Comrade Block.--I have been a reader of "The Call" since
December 1, 1911. I do not know whether you can give me any
information as to what I wish to know....

"'I have three children, 31/2 years, 21/4 years, and a baby 9 months.
Now, you cannot blame me if I do not care for more for some time to
