Not long ago, young English girl, with
mania for travelling, crossed the Dark Cont
nent Of Africa, passing through savage
tribes scattered throughout savage land;
and she declared upon her return to Europe,
that nobody had made the slightest attempt
to do her an injury. Another young white
woman, who had been sent as missionary
to the heather Of Africa, came back to New
York, and said that the streets of that city
were far more dangerous to life and virtue
than were the wilds of the Dark Continent
our whole scheme Of civilization a failure?
Have we become so conventional, SO artlf-
cial, so mercenary, SO unnatural in our con-
ception of what constitute honor, success,
happiness and Christianity, that the whole
fabric is q tissue of sham, and fraud and
pretense and imposture?
Sometimes tragedy of phenomenal char
acter shocks us into self-examination-into
scrutiny of ourselves and our system Of life
Why does one man who says he is devout
disciple of Jesus Christ own more of the
worlds good than fifty millions of other
people, who were made out of the same clay
as Rockefeller, and whose lives are as free
from crime as his reeks with it!
Why does another man who declares him.
self to be also Christian, and who conf
own more Of what God created than twenty
five millions of people, whose souls do not
need anything like the amount of washing
that j. p. Morgans soul needed!
Why are the men who create the wealth
living in restitution and distress, while the
men who do not create it, are the purpled
lords of the universe?
Why it is that in the land of cotton, child
rem are uncad? In the land of corn, children
cry for bread? In the land of coal and wood,
families freeze? In land of civilization and
Christianity, rich men who never worked, get
richer by Harvesting girls and boys, men and
women, to the treadmills Of Labor, driving
them to premature graves by wage at which
even the dogs would howl of hunger? In a
land of law and order and justice and equal
rights, the poor should ask for decent treat
ment, and be answered by machine gun bull
lets2
These are terrible questions and they are
becoming more and more terrible, year by
year. The SPHINX is crouching by the high
road of our System, and we must answer her
questions-or die
A glorious thing is, the freedom of the
Press When the valiant soldiers of oppressed
humanity won that concession from popes
and kings, their spirits sang for JOY.
No more conspiracies of silence No moro
tearing out of the lines which told the truth!
No more stern suppression of facts which all
the world ought to hear. No more bribery to
get a license to publish thoughts that breathe,
in words that burn!

with the sword of Justice, trace a charmed

But when the attorney despses the Code
