We are not an advice-bureau and give no recipes for conduct, though we do not deny ourselves the pleasure of expressing opinions upon other people’s conduct or even of saying what we would have done, or would do, in a given case. On the other hand, if anyone can cull useful advice from these pages […]
Notwithstanding some very excellent arguments in your two articles on Nature’s decrees concerning industry and militarism, I hardly think question is finally settled. It is not us to put on our seven-league boots and go on a tour of inspection among European nations during the past 2000 years. If we wished to determine the […]
“I, AN INDIVIDUAL, AN EGO –” “I, an individual, an Ego, alone for all time, I want to vote.” So runs the basic form of argumentation recommended to deep- thinking suffragists in a recent letter from their national headquarters.

M. Wilkesbarr, for example, who goes about lecturing on neo-determinism. A commanding personality, he announces that he is from […]
“SEEING THE COUNTRY IN AMERICAN FASHION.” UNSYMPATHETIC POLICE OBJECT. Malfew Seklew, who describes himself as “an alien, seeing the country in the American fashion,” was summoned before the Newcastle Bench, yesterday, on charges of obstruction, the first in Forth Street, on the 16th inst., and the second West Clayton Street, on the 21st inst.

Dear Sir, — Of the many letters published in this column during the past fortnight treating of the “Truthseeker” and blasphemy, none have. I think, made a candid examination of that paper. “The Truthseeker,” though has “fought good fight” against the ancient blasphemy laws, is largely boycotted by tolerant Rationalists: the “Literary Guide” speaks of […]
UnionOfEgoists.com is not an organization. We do not hold public events and you cannot join.
