When Dick arrived at the dinner table

soothing. His uncle sat at the head OF
the table. looking like the reincarnation
Of a thunder cloud. the count was toying
with a spoon, on which his gaze was con-
centrated. His eyebrows were raised and
his smile seemed personal taunt to Dick
Dick took his seat rather noisily and
said, heartily There is nothing SO con-

swered Emil, respectfully and seriously.
Strengthened In his chair and asked. with
accusing abruptness: What happened In
India," Nothing could have been less in
the minds OF his listeners. and the only
response was q shifting in the chairs. u
will tell you-just what has always hap
pened when robbery was planned on q
large scale. The East India Company
was at first nothing but a gang of IL
censed pirates but they saw that In order
the surplus products of labor to seize
first must they grab the government. You
see? Always the government must be
owned by the big robbers. always has II
been: now, still is 1t. When Lord Give
was tried for stealing a few tons Of ru-
pees for himself, what cleared him? The
fact that he a patriot was and that he
had not stolen all there was to steal.
Again, what about the Boer war:
Were the Beers simple-hearted patriots
and the British tyrannical conquerors:
Not so: they fought to see which set OF
capitalists should exploit the men who
work in the gold mines Of the Rand and
in the diamond fields of Kimberly. The
man behind the gun, he is also behind
the times. many, many years. He knows
how to aim. but not why.
Again. take one little look at your war

is why it is not all funny to climb up
high and look down at a war.
Because freemen work cheaper than
chattel slaves, and because the men in
the north saw a chance to make money
