A Typical Philanthropist

Poverty results from special priv

Rockefeller to legally appropriate the

legalized predatory power finds it
necessary to engage in white slave

Worthless Loafers.-
The following appeared in a press
dispatch sent out from cleveland,
| Ohio:
"Cleveland, O., Dec. 14.AProhib-
tied by city officials from placing
contribution kettles at downtown
street corners, Industrial Workers of
the World here tonight held a mass
meeting in protest. A committee was
named to draft resolutions threaten
ing a repetition of the fight for free
speech and personal liberty recently
waged in San Diego, California.
The above item of news sent out
from Cleveland, Ohio, shows to what
depths of depravity the professional
parasites of the Il. W. w. will de-
scend in order to gather the pennies
nickels and dimes. In the name of
liberty and labor, these beggars and
miserable mendicants, dead to honor
and senseless to shame, solicit aims
upon the streets and then proclaim
themselves revolutionists.
A beggar may command pity but
never respect.
Men and women who have been
lured into this organization calling
itself the I. w. w, who. entertain
the opinion that an organization of
veteran hoodlums will bring about
workers, are to be pitied for the
weak mentality that makes them vic
tins of unblushing reprobates. The

The Spirit Of Slavery
In a luxurious New York hotel a
waiter stumbled and spilled on a
patrons shirt front a bit of sauce.
In a rage, the patron arose, felled the
apologize servitor with a blow and
then kicked him in the groin.
To the credit of human nature, this
brutality brought from other diners
the cry of Coward" and the bully
was elected.
Had the patron simply sworn and
demanded the walters discharge, no
one would have commented; perhaps
the other diners would have felt like
applauding.
A waiter must not make mistakes
or answer back. A waiter, though
human, must show no feeling. He
does useful service, but he is seldom
fairly paid unless. as a mendicant,
he gets his pay in tips Our system
