Repeated Every Generation, But EVERY CEN
GRAFTON IS BETTER
Young men and trying hard think trying settle
little while problems that nave occupied men for quarter
Of million years and will occupy them io another quarter Of
million years least interesting and then work
esting.
These young people writers and artists real ability, PRINT
what they q the title TIE MASSES
They write ideas they illustrate them and they al
this for the love OF progress.
They don't make any monoy-AND THEY DON'T.
MAKE ANY
On this page We print one OF their pictures by Arthur
Young
II is good picture and it tells very well PART OF THE
TRUTH which all that any human being tell any
time
this picture the giant labeled CAPITAL playing old
trick LABOR
It a trick but it isn't the fault Of capital and it
ism the fault labor
As wages go up the Of living goes up-naturaly Be
the cost Of everything depends upon the amount that tie
have to spend.
If you gave every man in the United States $40 per day to
spendh wouldn't be able to Tor $40 day than
you get for So
the part capital in that. Capital
socaled the intelligent living conditions he finds
them, and getting what he can out Of them
Labor Of the high priced kind at S. per day also the intel
Hgcnt living conditions he finds them and getting
about five times much many Of his brothers
The erfs Of Russia delighted when the Car made
free They delighted when they found
that be free MEANT TO PAY TAXES and to be whipped
until they paid And there has been suffering than even
among the soanry OF Russia since they became
taxpayers instead Of serfs
But they are working up the top They viii control their
government they have enough education and nte
gence do They will rule they throw aside bru
tai foolish government by mperstous religion which they
have now, and substitute government by MEN
We tell our young enthusiastic friends of The Masses that
April Fool day least year and April
Fool joke for kind of maneyen including the mg
fat gentleman at the top of the pile labeled Capital
April Fool when he into banuuptcy-as he
does very often indeed His April Fool when he dies
twenty years than he ought TO- because he
wears himself trying get what he does not need.
Capital has many April Fool days ahead of it. And it ought
for the worker to know that HIS direction
is upward whereas the direction Of the thinking only Of
himself and living sefshly is downward
The big man on top of the pile in this picture the
little man is at the SIMPLY BECAUSE THE BIG
MAN is MORE INTELLIGENT OR MORE CUNNING THAN
THE OTHER.
If the little man at the bottom had his power
range would be the top and the other at Tie
bottom.
There just much love Of his brother in the with
the fat hands big ring there the below
There fact usually actual kindness IN the man
very prosperous than in who not prosperous
For INTELLIGENCE MEANS SUCCESS AND NTELLI
GENCE ALSO MEANS KINDNESS.
This would be a horrible world if 1t were not So
You have got to raise angle forehead
