Excerpt from Bound Free: Two Dramas

In publishing a series of ten "Sketches from Life, " - of which the following two are the second and third - in a dramatic setting in which I purposely ignore certain cut and dried "rules, " supposed to govern dramatic form, but which in the course of literary evolution have really become effete, - I feel that I am faintly heralding the oncoming of three phases of emancipation to the human race, definitely prognosticated in social evolution. These phases are, Labor emancipation, Sex emancipation, and Art emancipation. I put them not in the order of their importance - they are all equally and mutually important - but in their time order, as I foresee it.

Labor emancipation will bring in the economic cooperation of the whole human race. Under this cooperation humanity will no longer consent to be governed by petty man-made laws. The race as a unit will commission its scientific geniuses to search out the universal laws which govern the growth and development of the social organism and will live in glad obedience to these universal laws.
