THE "sYsTEM" DESPERATE
And Mr.. Lawson Says When He Gets
Done With 1t, 1t Will Have No
Time or Energy Left Except
to Cry for Mercy.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-Thomas w. Law
son is having his troubles along with
those he is making for STANDARD Oil"
He has explained why he uses the ad-
vertising section of ~Everybody's Maya
zine for his attack upon insurance
companies which is because the man
agement of the magazine refused to
print il in the reading part. Mr.. Law
son prints in the Chicago Tribune a
half page signed advertisement in
which he says among other things:
Since the last issue of Evcrybody's Mag
azinc, STANDARD OIL" stung, has broken
forty years of insolent silence. Like the
giant bully of the fable 1t cannot stand
the hot iron, and at the first scar cries out.
Unlike the millions into whose hearts 1t
has poured it's boiling oil, into whose souls
not take its medicine III silence. My story,
'.Frenz.ed Finance."sa said STANDARD Or is
deliberately and systematically %debauch-
ing the American people and cold-bloodcd.
~ robbing the masses" STANDARD Or
met and solemnly ''resolutcd for the first
time in its existence to speak to the peo-
pie. and this is what il said: Its a lie.
We are not bad"
Two More Sections Ahead.
With tho January chapter of "Frenzied
Finance" l have completed the first sec
ton of my story. The Setting. In this sec,
STANDARD or is bad-the monster of
modern times; it is now at the zenith OF
Its destruction-spreading career. There
will be two more sections of "Frenzied FL
nance" The Facts and the Remedy. tn
second section. which begins with the Feb
iuary number. will prove the assertions

and effectively strike. STANDARD on
has. as yet, only spoken once. IT will be
made to speak again. and from then on TO
its end It will be with it. as 1t always has
been with It's predecessors since the world
began, one continuous cry, Mercy"
My right TO hold STANDARD OH up to
upon what Standard on and the "sys-
tenn "resolutc," but upon the verdict the
American people will render. hat verdict
will not be rendered until the people have
my charges. my proofs and my remedy
before them. Thcn-the American people

gratitude to the American people and the
press for the way they have received my
story. and to the owners of ~Everybody's

Tho Ridgeway-Thayer company pub
fishers Of Everybody's) We're reluctant to
advertise the insurance part of this issue,
and I therefore decided to advertise 1t
independently of them. I therefore give
this notice to the people that they may

The last paragraph explains why Mr..
Lawson prints in the advertising sec
ton of Everybody's Magazine especially
that part Of his revelations which
deal with insurance companies.
