THE SUCKER ALWAYS WITH US
Minneapolis Tribune

Minneapolis Tribune
Why not let the sucker look out
for himself? He must do it, any
way, or come to grief. Law cannot
protect greedy fool or clumsy
knave, and these are the two varities
OF the sucker species. Law is al
ways trying to shield the sucker by
removing temptation from his path;
hut temptation is protean. Abolish
one form OF it by law and you get an
other by a lightning change. The
sucker is the natural food OF the
sport, and it is his destiny to be de.
voured. He fits like butterfly from
gaminghouse to poolroon, from
policy to bucket shop; from one get.
rich-quick enterprise to another, and
from these to the innumerable COM
pany OF professional, commercial and
religious quacks who feed on human
folly and greed like parasites on dis
eased bodies.
Why not leave him to fulfill his
natural destiny! He was created to
be skinned, and the sooner It 10 decent.
~ done the more completely will the
purpose OF nature BE- carried out.
The only law that has bthe est bold
on the sucker 10 the natural law OF
the survival Of the iittest. Better
give this free play. When he lie
thoroughly skinned, he will disap.
pear and not breed more suckers.
The sports who get his money do not
keep it long. The same law OF nature
Furnishes them Tor unthrift, and the
money finally circulates around to
those clever enough to keep as we'll as
to get it. The race is weeded Of fools
and knaves together, like q we'll kent
garden, and the fittest have room to
grow.
Lawmakers are always trying to
save the sucker from the sports. The
collapse OF whole brood Of get.rich-
quick enterprises, all along the line
from New York to St. Louis, has
stirred this well-meaning effort to
new life. The history OF the collapse
proves how futile it is. There is law
enough now, in every state, to make
skin games impossible, if law could
do it. No law can reach thsse games
till they have run their course and
the suckers have been skinned, any
more than law can cave the peren.
NAL new crop from poolroom., policy
and bucket shops. You can't protect
bhe sucker whose money is gone, and
the sucker with money still to lose
doesn't want to be protected, because
lie thinks he is clever enough to get
the money of some one else.
Why worry about the sucker, any.
way? He is not nice sort OF person.
lie is fully as dishonest as the sports
who skin him; only he is mistaken in
thinking himself more clever. He
goes into skin games, all along the
line from the stock exchange to green
goods, in order to get the better Of
somebody else and get money with
out working for it or giving any
value in exchange. Why should vir.
tuous conscientious law. ma ers bother
- their heads about such wretch, any.
way! Nature will take care of him,
il he is left to the operation of her
Wholesale law law.
