of New York, Dec. the Sun- club, an organization of persons who think differently from other persons, James F. Morton spoke on "The Morality of the Immoral" last night. The Sunrise club is composed of philosophical anarchists, socialists, free thinkers, single taxers, vegetarians, and others at outs with the existing order of things. Morton, who is a Harvard master of arts and a grandson of that Smith who wrote "My Country, Tis of Thee," is an individualist philosophical anarchist just from the home colony of the anarchist experiment Seattle, "Wash.

The home colonists live as they (please in all things, including the re of the sexes. Free love part of their system. This and similar tenets of the homo colony furnished the best test Emma Goldman, who was present, indorsed Uloi ton's views or Air. Morton's talk on morals. He said: "On one extreme of humanity are 1 "foeople who think in ruts and whotliiulc Jinman beings who do not walk in the STits which humanity 1ms labeled prop' are beyond hope.

The other extreme are those who work their own Sfill and let the strongest win. Between them are the individualists, those who believe that the world is a 5lace to be joyful in, and that free is a fundamental law human being. "We are ot that class, those who are called immoral, because we won't have iraramed down our throats what the Svorld has called morality. We are not dangerous except as every man who ihinlts is dangerous. The world is beholding the awakening of the right of a man to live his own life and think his owr thoughts.

"People who defy the conventional standards of morality in, let us say, bez problems are getting recognition would have been impossible in ether times. We who live in defiance of the marriage system and the system of conventional morality lounded thereon know that the new conceptions relative to morality are as well fitted to safc-guaid the future of society as are the old standards -nlnch draw a K'mrp line between right nnd wrong."

"In organic growth there is uniformity in death. Spontaneity of expression is the variation of life.

The great general moral principle is progress through variation. Whatever influence tends to strengthen individuality is accord with morality. Truly immoral people are moralists Truly moral people, so-called, are the immoral ones. The Anthony Comstm-ks. "Wilbur Crafts and all that tribe represent an immoral movement which forces all human beings into one mold.

"The individual whose soul Is wrapped in cotton batting and kept in a glass case, as are most children, especially young girls, is a puppet, incapable of true morality. We demand that the sacred conventionalities if the moral be tested. If the conservative institutions can -stand the test, well and good. But if the monoganiis- tic marriage system, for instance, cannot stand beside polygamy, then the monogamistic system must fall. "The Home colony ot individualists is the only truly moral community in the United States.
