Of having had his picture taken in a

from the impression of the so-called
death-mask, taken while he was stu

school was the first in America to
teach .demo-surgery. This science will

THE PUBLIC FORUM
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Inc morning papers Cnat give us Sucn
news as the timid editors think pru-
ment inform US that 300 men were
taken from their sleeping places the
other night by the police and trans
ferred to the police stations. This
item was what old-time printers
called a stickful and carried but few
particulars, but as far as we know
these men were perfectly good men
and were sleeping along the river
front upon the docks because they
had no other place to sleep.
Until informed by the timid edi-
tors to the contrary we are safe in
assuming that the 800 were perfect
ly good men If they had been dam
aged in any way they would have
said so. That is, we may conclude
that the men were average men with
fair mental and physical powers, who
knew enough to prefer river dock to
police station as a sleeping place.
We may also presume these poten-
TALLY useful men to be among the
unemployed = the down-and-out
like the man who leaped from the
tower of the Auditorium the other
day and got so far out that he was
beyond the reach of the neglect and
wrong of human institutions.
These 800 were potentially useful
If there were to be found a place in
the social organization where oppor-
tunity existed for them to use their
brains and physical powers in satis-
faction of their wants, we are j1sti-
fed in the conclusion that each one
would support himself by his own la
Dor and perhaps become the founder
of a family that would be credit to
the city, the state and the nation. We
are also justified in the conclusion
that opportunity is lacking among
us for these men and that with the
little, instinct of freedom left them
they preferred the docks to the slaV-

swer to why Is a Corn?" l wish to
say that corns, more or less, are due
to cheap shoes and to the coarse,
rough-edge finish inside. Another
factor is shoe too large. Always
wear better quality, perfect fitting
shoe. 1t is the cheapest in the end
and it will never produce corn.
Never wear patent leather, for your

Corns are similar to warts in their
structure except that they have

human being has no right to be on
earth in a civilized community until
he or she has made a bargain with
some earth-owner whereby a large
proportion of his or her earnings
shall go to pay for the mere privi7
lege of living. .-
We will discover that this tribute is
constantly increasing as material
progress goes on, and that in conse-
quence of this increasing toll oppor-
tunities become so scarce that hun
dreds of thousands are reduced to the
condition of the 800 sleepers.
There is no refuge for these disin-
herited except in the degradation of
charity, of the Jail, the poorhouse or
the last alternative of suicide. And
why? Not because there is any lack
of room upon the earth; not because
there is lack of need for work in car
rying on our civilization, but because
the earth and its resources and all the
social advantage are made by law the
property of the few and the great
body of mankind thus disinherited of
it's right to live upon the earth.
