told the ladies that he had done all in

some days ago distinguished
tnancier was reported as saying that
his money or his property was his
own, and he had the right to do a.
he pleased with it. Other capitalists
have said the same. and a multitude
who are not capitalists have given
currency TO the iallacy.
While We would not take from any
man the rights of freedom we feel
that such statements disclose an
ignorance of the laws of this Coun-
try and OF the basis of society.
Those who have amaSsed wealth
are often educated and well informed.
but-they are probably SO engrossed
IN business as to spare little OF no
timefor the study of political science
or the formation OF the social struc-
ture. We're this not fact. they
would certainly not make such n
fallacious claim.
The laws OF the land expressly pro-
hibit many uses of money as iniuri-
Gus to society. Aside from this. soci-
ETY. itself was formed by mutual sur
renders of certain wild or primitive
rights and privileges in order TO pre-
serve Others of greater value ana ill.,
portance to the community. individ
ually and collectively.
With society or the combination,
OF government. laws and institutions
the only way in which one could pos
sibly enjoy any property would be
by the strong arm and a readiness
TO slay all who tried to seize it. A
man under such anarchistic condi-
lions would be able to do as he
pleased with his property as long as
no one stronger or more ferociou~
than himself did not take it away
from him.
Indeed, it was TO avoid constant
bloodshed and murder that society
was formed. the individuals making
mutual concessions for greater safe.
" and enjoyment. Some people
seem TO think that a multimillionairr
or combination of them do no,
need protection, because they have
the power and the money TO organ
lie Tor their own protection. This
too Is great fallacy. indeed "a great
er and more egregious one than the
aforementioned, because no matter
how strong their organization. there
would always be an opposition ten
times as great TO meet and over
come it.
1t Is an established fact that no
people on earth stand more in need
OF the laws protection than men of
capital
Government is, Of course. benefit
to all, or it ought to be: but it is
very easy TO understand irow those
who have nothing to lose would SUI
Ter very much less by its destruction
than those whose wealth is counted
by six or seven figures.
A man can. as matter of fact
make use of his money or property
as he pleases so long as he does not
interfere with the rights of Others
When he does interfere with the
rights of his neighbor or neighbors.
he clearly violates the principlas
upon which society was founded. and
II there be no laws in existence to
check him, as is reported by the De
partment OF Justice at Washington
then the lawmaking power is bound
TO provide such law. This applies To
the abuse of all kinds of property. In
transportation, mining. manufac-
tures-in fact, in all the multitude
nous affairs of life-the rule is the
same.
That being the case, those at the
helm OF the Ship of State should see
to It that this government sbould
give what it promises-equal rights
to all men.
