HOW THEY GET THE BUNS.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1903. by Edwin A. Nye.

Morris Brown, crippled urchin of
New York city, smashed the window
of a bakers shop and was arrested
Morris, who is fourteen years old.
was sent by his mother to buy buns.
At the shop he met another boy who
was on a like errand. Morris saw
that the other boy got one more bun
for his money, whereupon he protest
ed. There was a debate with the
baker. and Morris was thrown out,
pursued by the bakers dog.
The smashed window was the Sc
quel-
''De udder kid, he got more buns n
me and got more sugar on his buns"
was the plea Morris made to the Judge.
Which was a good plea.
The newspaper account does not give
the outcome of the matter, but the in
cident and the boys plea are sug-
gestive.
The boy voiced the American plea of
q square deal" 1t is not fair that
one boy or one citizen should get more
buns and more sugar on his buns than
another.
One Of the pressing problems is the
equitable distribution of wealth.
We say the American idea is that OF
equal rights for all, special privileges
to none," and yet we know that GER
tain special interests have been given
undue advantages. These interests
have had more buns and more sugar
on their buns than they are entitled to
Therefore the righteous protests OF
| the Morris Browns.
When the little cripple's case was
called in the police court the baker
was represented by paid attorney, bu
Morris had to depend on the mercy o.
| the court
And here also the analogy holds.
The special interests that secure spe
cial prfvileges-extra buns-are repre-
scented in the courts by high price,
| lawyers. The people elect young at
torneys who are just beginning to prac
tice and pay them small salary t
prosecute the rich criminals.
That is why If man steals a loaf o
bread to keep the woman he love
from starving he goes to the peniter
tiary, while the banker who steals
million and robs widows and orphan
gets of scot free. Eminent attorney
find technicalities, and the rich ma
gets away with the sugar buns.
The case Of the baker against MOI
ris Brown is a typical one. If 20
will think over the incidents and th
: plea of the young citizen you will dii
: cover one cause of the social III
| rest"
, 1t is because Of the buns.
