LETTERS TO EDITOR
State Cannot Have Drones
0 the Editor Of The Age-Herald:


''That mercy l to others show, that
mercy show to me- At the last assize
many of us cannot make this plea. Why
1t is that some men control and govern
with such oppressive severity is strange
thing to me. Can any right thinking per-
son have any respect for a tyrant-a man
cruel to his fellows, especially to the weak
and helpless. Some years ago knew such
a man. He had authority over large
number of laborers, some of them being
skilled workmen. They never expected
a pleasant or an encouraging word from
this inhumane and depraved human be-
ing. The last that I heard of him he
was a wanderer without sympathy. or
friends and begging bread. Mercy knows
its bounds and then turns to avenge.
If were an autocrat would teach the
tyrants lesson that they would never
forget and 1t is this-to recognize the
rights of others. Yes, 1t is often abso-
1utely necessary to punish some folks. but
IN every instance it should be done by
men of reason and common sense, and
never by men whose natures have been
hardened by constant drink.
to work should live in idleness. A drone
is of no use, but positive harm to the
community in which he lives, and yet
there is a great army of these and the
unfortunates who produce nothing. What
is the remedy? 1t is this. let the states
buy large tracts Of land and go into the
farming and manufacturing business, and
IL men without means of support will not
work, then put them to work and from
their earning capacity take 5 per cent
from their earnings for expenses and the
remainder give to their families. In the
meantime all those who in sincerity decide
that they are willing to go out into the
world and be men and make an honest
living, do not withhold from them the
opportunity, but give them a trial. Let
me insist that those in authority be care
ful in the selection of the men who are
to have the management of the states
effairs. j. LAWLER DARBY. s
