ity sufficient to successfully OPP

BY evolutionary progression
Save your money Johnny and
buy a gun" has now become out
of vogue. Should an individual
pirate buy gun and use it, he
possibly might be adjudged an
insane pirate the same as Harry
Thaw. The latest and approved
plan when shooting is desired is
to hire a gun man of the Pinker-
ton variety.
Political parties have been
made by pirates, both great and
small, stepping-stone to posi-
tons of exploitation and plum
der. The small capitalist calibre
pirates usually line up with the
Democratic party, while the 9TH
ers do not. The Socialist party
is a party of evolution, but near
ly all Socialist speakers and
writer's in using the word prefix
an n" which changes the word
to revolution, "and it is presum-
able that this is the reason why
pirates do not warm up to a fer
vent degrae towards the Social
lists. However, there are other
political parties-the Republi-
can, Prohibition and Hearst's
party-which pirates can take
their choice, and usually pirates
prefer the largest amount pos
sible.
To successfully play pirate in
the game get rich quick, pirates
should never buy anything which
they can steal. However, it is
no fault of the pirates that they
are sometimes obliged to pay out
good money to buy legislature,
a la Guggenheim.
Pirates have but two points tC
guard, that is to say, keep out
of the penitenitary while they
live and out of hades when they
die.
Some of the operations of the
pirates are almost past finding
out by the lay public. For in.
stance: A learned Judge fined
Johnny many millions. Another
equally learned Judge directed a
verdict of acquittal. Acts of this
kind bewilders the common peo-
pie to such an extent as to cause
them to believe they do not know
where we are at. The verdict OF
acquital to say the least, was un
expected; the public in genera
expected John to mark up the
products of petroleum one or two
points, and all expected to chip
in and pay the fine, and all were
perfectly willing to chip in ex-
cept the Socialists. And YET
many say they do not like the
Socialists because they are not
in favor of dividing up. They
are in favor of dividing; they
prevaricate when they say they
are not in favor of dividing, and
should be enrolled in the Ananias
club of the African lion hunter.
Pirates above named, together
with Divine right B-e-a-r-have
forgotten how he spells it-anG
many others, individually claim
a private wire to a heavenly
throne, possibly to invoke Divine
aid to get richer quicker and
possibly to persuade God that
they hate His majesty of fire
proof reputation.

The Evolution Of Piracy,
or Get Rich Quick.

The get rich quick game
through evolution processes OF
modern piracy has been great
indeed. One hundred years ago
or more tho theatre of action of
pirates was largely confined to
the high seas; while now we
have pirate galore of the emin-
emily respectable and law and
order type of both the land and
the water. This is evolution.
Mark Twain says there is moth
ing pays as we'll as pirating.
Mark knows, SO does every one
know that up to the present writ
ing, no other means or process
has evolved in the minds of men
whereby ono can get million or
except by pirating. And in look
ing back a very few years we see
how crude the methods Of pirat-
es were compared with the goth
century methods. Piracy in the
game of get rich qnick like great
inventions, has progressed by
leaps and bounds in recent years.
Kate Bender was a pirate, but
her methods were very crude
compared with the more modern
methods of the late Cassie Chad
wick.
Pirates now sometimes when
DESTROYS of holding up the pas
sengers of a train and also the
public in general, first steal the
railroad. The Alton for instance,
which has the semblence at least
of being more in harmony with
law and order than the methods
of Jesse James when he was or
the stage of action. This is ev
Olution.
BY modern piratical methods
in getting rich quick, pirates
sometimes called Captains Of
Industry" can and do rob mer
who are broke and make mil
lions out OF it. They also sweat
millions out of women and child
rem. Another band Of pirates

United States, says Dist. Attorn
