Mercury who invented the Tyre. Up
to that time spring had passed by
without any poetry. and 1t was
pretty dull season. The invention
of the Tyre made it the fairest and
cherriest OF all the seasons. and the
Romans, therefore. named the love-
lest OF the spring months for the
inventors mother. Mercury, who
wrote only limericks. gave the Tyre
to Apollo. who in turn gave it to
Homer. About all the poets have
had it now except Alfred Austin.

Peter is about to preach this
new gospel throughout the
United States.
He believes himself the tool
of mysterious power. His
mother says she cannot account
for him.
Peters first public appearance
in Union Square made all New
York gasp. Suddenly, during an
intermission, he had jumped up
on chair and in shrill, piping
treble, began his arguments. He
took the crowd by storm and his
eloquence made his hearers al
most hysterical.
Since that time Peter has been
in demand all over the east to
address public meetings. No one
attempts to understand where
he got his grasp on economics.
But everyone agrees that 1t Is
marvellous.

NEW YORK, JAN. 13.-Nine-
teen hundred years ago H.
year-old boy went into the tenn
pie at Jerusalem and taught the
scribes and elders of that day
new spiritual dispensation-and
his gospel, since that time, has
rung around the world.
The other day a 12-year-old
lad stood up ON a chair in a
square of great Manhattan to try
to teach the cold world a new
economic dispensation and he
says that his message, too, will
girdle the globe.
Peter Berk is not much over
four feet high. He weighs about
80 pounds. He goes to grammar
school and lives with his father
and mother in a small, cluttered
flat in Brooklyn tenement
house.
81 have been born into this
world to give message to it,"
declared this 12-year-old to me.
ut is NOT a message that I have
formulated myself. 1t is far
bigger than l am. 1t was born
in me. l am sure God gave it to
me in order that | might give it,
in turn, to all the world.
THE message that was sent
here along with me is, in brief,
this:
Nobody on this earth has a
bit of right over anyone else on
this earth-either over his body,
his mind or his soul. No one is
intended by God to be his broth
er's keeper. We must not in
future, have bosses nor landlords
nor police. We must all be as
free of man-made authority as
we were ON that day that Adam
first stood in the garden or Para
disc.
THAT is my dream, you see, >
he explained. "But 1t must not
be ALL dream. 1 am going to
get out in the work-a-day world
and help to make it fact"
1--WE must use this government
first for the protection of EV.
cry man, woman and child un.
der it," he told a great throng
of workers in Union Square
I'VE must make this protection
so perfect, so EQUAL-FOR-ALL
that eventually the government
shall be evenly distributed
among all the citizens. And then
-presto--there will be no gov
ernment! For THE GOVERN
MENT WILL BE VESTED IN
EVERYONE!
I'm bringing about justice
there are three things to be done
by the government at once.
