king is lone invested with supreme authority
a nation.' For ''authorty'' read ''power" and YOU
have King Morgan for authority does not always
power.
From the time the American youth first began to read
books in school he has been taught hatred of kings and
has learned that since history first began have been
bleeding and dying in order to away with kings. But
today in this republic wherein all are born equal
WE HAVE KING MORGAN.
Kings usually come to the world by birth usurpaton
King Morgan doesn't by either of these ways His
kingship is fact not title. If he should say 81 king
of this nation and have supreme power all you peo
pie, y we would get mighty mad, howl about const
tuition, that free and make altogether
tremendous stir-AGAINST THE TITLE!
Tital authority and power do not always together
A man may be king and have little power. A man may
be king through power and have title Really the
title does not make has made much difference,
either to the man or to the people whom he
supreme r
his might have the best of everything King Morgan does
that for his big corporations evade their just proportion
The regularly titled king made the laws King Morgan
does that for he and his trust associates control
gress.
The ordinary created king held from the people vast
tracts of land rights in all sorts of minerals including
SALT and enjoyed special privileges which he handed
down to his heirs brhrght. King Morgan does the
able franchises in Streets preempted vast tracts of min
era fuel and lumber territory, and monopolzed remen
dous natural resources for water power.
The brutal kings of history had the power to cut off
human lives So has King Morgan. The and block
quite mercfu the blacklist the lockout and
the Injunction Only under King Morgans way, WE
DON'T SEE THE BLOOD.
IF foreign monarch cast greedy eyes old King
Henrys land Henry, king by BIRTH could call his
people to die for his land We Of our times support
regular army of $4,000 and 10000 militia
largely to combat protests against the effects Of King
Morgan's kingship
Other peoples work, knucke down and die in sub
serviency title We will fight like bazes before we
call our Morgan king But he has the kings power.
What is there in teaching children about
Washington, Patrick Henry, glorious Bunker HILL Lin
coin and Gettysburg, when leave them fools to what
those glores meant?
King Morgan
Hail to King Morgan!
Hail to the who, in land of the free, has got every
mans happiness, every mans rights every mans fate
under the power of his scepter of gold!
AND SHALL. WE BE CONTENT WITH IT?
