"What was Christ killed for
and who killed him? He
tramped all the way from Naz-
areth to Calvary. He was born
in borrowed barn. Respect
able sinners he called "whited
sepulchres." He walked into
a temple he did not own and
drove out some money chang
ers he was unacquainted with,
though he was neither sheriff
nor under sheriff. Right down
at the bottom, Christ was killed
for his sympathy with the poo,
and contempt for the rich and
unjust. He was regarded by
the respectable classes as an
outlaw and felon, and, if you
please, an anarchist.-Rev

Some one has been attempt
ing a collection of the poets
utterances on law, in view of
the plutocratic exhortation to
revere the law. But any die
tionary of quotations would re-
veal the fact that nearly all the
great poets are rank Anarchists.
Says Goldsmith:
Claws grind the poor and rich men rule the law.
This incontestable truth is
from the Traveller" although
in all his poems Goldsmith is
more or less of a Debs and an
Altgeld. Thus we read in 1.-THE
Deserted Villages"
ssWhere then, ahl where shall poverty reside
To Escape the pressure OF contiguous pride?
If to some commons fenceless limits strayed,
He drives his f1ocks to pick the scanty blade
Those fenceless fields the SONS OF wealth divide
And cen the bare-worn common is denied"
Says Otway in "Venice Pre-
served" and he wrote in a
spirit of criticism of universal
application:
Justice is lame as well as blind amongst US:
The laws. corrupted to their ends that make
them,
Serve but for instruments OF some new tyranny,
That every day starts up t'enslave us deeper.
Pope pitches into the judges:
your plea is good, but still I say: Beware.
Laws are explained by men: so have care"
In a word, it is impossible to
go through any collection of
fine sentiments from the poets
without: being profoundly i'm
pressed by their very socialist
tic and anarchistic bend OF
mind.

that caught in passing, and you may
judge. One of them said: well. how
did you make out?'' The other replied:
Il have made enough money to 60 to
the Ministries tonight, so we are all

The desire to be entertained was never
more pronounced than now. Your mod
ern up-to-date house of worship is not
complete, if it has only pulpit and
mourners' bench; it must have lecture
room, kitchen and a grand piano!
Woe be unto the treasury of the
church that cannot boast of either it's
entertaining preacher, or its splendid
choir. The attendance will be small and
the contribution platter correspondingly
bare-like old Mother Hubbard's cup
board.
When l worked on daily paper, the
editor used to say to me: MAKE it
light, May. make it light. The people do
not wish to be educated-they want en-
tertainment!" Ye sober and studious
readers of the LABOR WORLD, when you
spend money for the big dailies that
chaff and BLACKBOARD you, don't wonder
that they are light-they think they
know the age in which we live, and as
long as they can sell their tiresome trash
they will keep on publishing it.
Perhaps you think me a pessimist?
Well, I am not. I believe that virtue
will be it's own reward, and that, ulti-
mately, every act of hoggishness on the
part of individual plutocrat, or the
plutocratic combines, will rebound upon
the heads of the misguided perpetrators.
,~~ It is mistake to suppose that the
multimillionaires are happy. I knew
personally both Gould and Vanderbilt.
The former was as unhappy as bad
liver and remorse could make man, and
the latter died like dog, alone on the
floor of cold room in his granite palace
on Fifth avenue, New York. unlo4ed, I'M
wept, unhonered and unsung. He was
never at peace in his worship of the
money god; the faintest breeze in the
iuctuating stock market would go
straight to his marrow, and the lightest
frost affecting his vast interests would
chill him into misery. He builded a
mountain of gold. and it fell on him and
crushed him. He was type of class
He despised the world, and hated him
