THE ONLY CURE.
By Ella Whcefor Wilcox,
You may talk of reformations, of the Economic Plan,
That shall stem the Social Evil in its Course;~~ But the Ancient Sin of nations, must be got at in The Mon.
If you want to cleanse a river, seek the source...
Ever since his firat beginning, Man has had his way in lust.
He has never learned the law of Self-Control;
And the World condones his sinning, and the Doctors say he
must,
And the Churches shut their eyes, and take his toll.
་་
And the lauded Lovely Mothers,' send the son out into life
With no knowledge-welded armour for the fight; He will make his way like others, through the Ost-field, to the
Wile;
*He will somehow be led onward, to the light."
Yes, his leaders, they shall find him. On the highways at each
.turn;
(Since you did not choose to counsel or to warn,).
They shall tempt him, then shall bind him; they shall blight,
and they shall burn,
Dowa to offspring and descendants yet unborn.
It can never and through preaching; it can never end
laws;
This social sore, no punishment can heal,

Must the daughters and the sons be taught this truth; Till they think of it with wonder, as a holy thing alway;
While love's wisdom guides them safely through their youth.
Oh, the world has made its devil, and the Mothers let it grow; And the Man has dragged their thoughts down to the earth. There will be no Social Evil, when each waking mind shall know
