thin how to burn hard coal an thin l
come. / call it Nature, he says, but
We know who l mean. [ am tn agent
iv Divine Providence in this matther.
All this coal was entrusted to me be
Hivin to look afther. Some say twas
Morgan but l know betther. I'm tn
agent iv OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES coal
Comp'ny Limited, George Baer. agent.
It's thrue / haven't made amy &C
countin' to me principal but thatn
come later. In tn manetime l stand
as tn representative iv visited inthrests,
tn champeen iv ordher an tn frind iv
tn rights iv property. Gr'reat inth-
rests are at stake as tn southern
lyncher said at TIL burnin'. I'm won
dherful man. An funny, too, he says.
80 what ar-re We goin' to do about
it? If thin la-ads ony got to own Tn
coal be tn same way that l own tn
part iv this house that amt got NOR
gedge on it, an we own ye'er had an
shoes-because a lot iv fellows come
together in tn ligislachoor an decided
twas a good thing that man who had
shoes an hat shud keep them,-twud
be different. But seem that tn Lord
fixed it there's nawthin' FIR us to do but
pray. Lave us pray that Hivin VIII
go out iv tn coal business an that 1t
won't get into tn Beef Thrust | hate
yards to say me prayers.
"But I'm with tn rights iv property,
dye mind. TIL sacred rights an tn
divine rights. A man is lucky to have
five dollars; if it is ten, it is his jooty
to keep it if he can; if it's hundred,
his right to it is tn right iv silf-day-
finse; if it's a millyon, it's a sacred
right; if it's twinty millyon, it's di-
vine right; if it. more thin that, it be-
comes ridiculous. In amy case, it mus
be PROTECTED. No boldly mus inther-
fere with it or down comes tn con-
stichoochion, tn army, a letther firm
Baer an tn wrath iv Hivin. If l
own a house l can do what I PLACE with
it. l can set fire to it amy time
want, can't 1? Ye may have foolish
sintimints about it. Ye may say: If
We set fire to ye'er house. yen burn
mine. But that don't mine amy coal
with me. 'Tis my house, give me in
thrust be tn Lord an here goes FIR
a bonefire. What's that fireman comm
down tn sthreet FIR? How dare he
squirt wather on me property? Down
with tn fire department. I've some
gun powdher in me cellar. I'll touch
a match to it. I'm uncomfortable in
summer I'll take me clothes off an
go FIR walk. TIL sign above tn dure
belongs to me. I'll loosen it so 1t will
fall down on tn top Nv ye'er head. Ye
want to go to sleep at night. I'm
goin' to have brass band sur-nade me.
l own a gun. / think I'll shoot me
property into We. Get out iv tn way
FIR here comes property, dhrunk an
raisen' Cain. An if I'm an Eyetalir,
sthriker with a stickj iv dinnymite,
can explode it where an whin 1 will.
1t happened to go off undher an ex
cursion thrain full iv women an child
her. So much tn worse FIR thin but
they must be no restriction on tn
right iv a man to do what he will with
his own. l ownded tn dinnymite an 1
wanted to hear a noise. Hurrah FIR
property rights! Property rights an
baby in tn base burner! It's a gr-reat
issue to lay befure tn American peo-
pie whin tn coal gives out"
Dye think tn sthrikell be settled?'-
asked Mr.. Hennessy.
"Iv coorse," said Mr.. Dooley eff it
amt, hell'I break loose an Wen all
be warrum.''
