WHAT'S TIE USE?
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.

WHAT'S TIE USE?
Why is man born with the closed fists?
Because he wants to grasp everything
And why does he die with palms out
stretched? To show that he takes moth
ing along with him.-Talmud.
The quaint saying of the Talmud is
good one for this day and AEGEAN
age of grasping commercialism.
Some one has aptly named the dispo-
sition of modern men to gather to
themselves more wealth than they
need or can use as money madness"
There's method in that madness.
Note the cunning of the monopolist
who gathers to himself the ways and
means of production. See how his con-
verging lines of transportation and his
watchful execution match that Of the
spider that weaves his converging webs
and lures his victim.
Money mad, these moderns.
And some of them, like lunatics in q
cell, grasp at the straws of their mat
ting to weave them into a golden
crown. And some of them grasp at the
notes in the air of their dusty cells,
seeking substance. Some of them raw
age the world and rob their fellows.
Some steal from earth and sea and sky.
Some sell their souls to the devil.
Listen to the marching chorus of the
money pirates. the grunting, sweaty
chorus of grab, grab grabi
Poor fools!
Yet little while and the grabbers
shall pass away. Whose, then, shall
these things be? The lawyers will
revel in the loot Of 1t, heirs win quar-
rel over it. harpies will fatten on the
funds, and prodigal hands will SOW the
surplus wealth broadcast over the
earth.
Even now lustful eyes watch for the
| first symptom of the hour when the
fists of the lucre loving lunatics shall
relax their itching palms.
Poor fools!
Our brief AngIo-Saxon phrase puts
the lesson Of the Talmud in fewer
words Our ancestors were accustcm-
ed to say, ''There are no pockets In
shrouds."
| Poor fools!
Soon the grabbing hand shall lose its
cunning and the lying tongue cleave to
the roof of its mouth.

ROOSEVELT WANTED
SENATOR BEvER|DGE
Republican Keynote Speech at Chicago Convention
is Stirring UP Considerable Trouble Because
of Fact That Beveridge is Ditched.
No. -

as well as partly political The New
York Sun points out that older men OF
the party have objected to what they
regarded as a growing tendency on
Beveridge's part to be the partys
spokesman on the floor of the senate
and to assume the leadership in party
councils. The paper also states that
the charge is made that Beveridge went
to the president with the request that
the president have him named for tenn
porary chairman.
Says That President Isn't Done.
Many correspondents think that the
president will seek through his lieu
tenants on the convention floor to have
the selection of Senator Burrows re-
jected by the convention. Precedent
for this is not lacking. Twenty-four
years ago, the subcommittee recon-
mended the selection of Powell Clay-
ton as temporary chairman of the re-
publican national convention. Roose-
Welt was then on the threshold Of his
political career. He and Henry Cabot
Lodge, now a senator from Massachu-
sets, sought to have the recommended
ton turned down. Roosevelt, himself,
made a srousing speech, urging the Sc
lection of John r. Lynch, a colored
orator from Mississippi. Lynch was
elected by a vote of 424 to 384.
This bit of ancient history is now
dug up to show that the president
would have a familiar precedent should
he decide to seek the selection of
Beveridge in opposition to the subcom-
mittee. And as a strange coincidence,
it is recalled that Poyell Clayton, the
temporary chairman, turned down
twenty-four years ago, is now a mem
Der of the subcommittee whose ree-
concentration is being challenged.
