NOTES AND OpIaIONS.

Organized Wealth has never set the
crown of freedom upon Il single human
brow, but 1t has made and owned more
slaves in this land than have ever been
carried captive from the shores of
Africa: and II has driven to death more
men than have fallen in all the battles
ever fought on American soil; and has
driven TO houses of shame more women
than have ever fallen because of the
pcriidy of man.
But in the contest now impending.
Organized Wealth is face TO face with
an opposition such as it has not before
seen. The world has never before
known such Il people as those of the
United States. When they once be-
come awakened. their force will be such
that nothing can withstand il.
With their attention and thought once
aroused. they Will remedy their own
evils. and they viii do it by process of
law. and by and through the means of
the ballot box. The upholding of estab-
lished government and the maintenance
of law are essential 10 the welfare of
the people. In times OF revolution. of
riot and disorder and lawlessncss. it is
the poor and helpless who suffer and
they who pay. The rich and powerful
are able to find safety. and to escape
the payment of any part of the revenue

The story of William Hogarth's life
Is soon told. lie was born in London,
November 10. 1867. His father was a
man of scholarship who had come from
Westmore!and to London and had fail
eli TO prosper. He wished To be an au,
thor. but had to support himself by
teaching and by correcting copy for
the press. Ills income. therefore. was
very small, and the family were poor.

common-scnse, individuality and self
reliance that always distinguished him.
