knocking Christmas nor any other
sane holiday, for knew some good is
done, especially on Christmas, but
why be liberal on that day and not on

Christmas they receive most every

RIGHTS OF cAPITAL.-L

RIGHTS OF CAPITAL.-LaSt week
Alderman N. A. Stern said at the
council meeting that capital had as
much right to interest itself in school
affairs as had labor.
1t is pity that an alderman in
this great and enlightened city has
no more intelligence than to talk
about the rights of capital. During
the street car arbitration last spring
the attorney for the traction com
panies also spoke of the rights of
capital 49,.
Wherever the interest of capitalist
and laborer, of the rich and the poor,
come in conflict, or whenever there is
a dispute between them, the mouth
pieces of the capitalists and the priv
legged ones will always plead very elo-
quently the inalienable rights of cap
itaL And the pity of it is that the
would-be representative of labor have
no fitting and effective answer.
Capital can have no rights. Cap
ital is a dead thing, an inanimate OBJ
ject. Rights is term which can
properly be used only when speaking
of the relations between human
beings. 1t is concept which belongs
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-12-15

in the realm of ethics, and ethics does
not deal with the relations between
inanimate objects and sentient
beings, but only with the relations be-
tween the sentient beings themselves.
1t is the worst kind of folly and
nonsense to talk about the rights of
a street, of an automobile, or sky
scraper. Like street, an automo-
bile or a building, capital consists Of
accumulated labor power, or expend-
ed, crystalized human energy, as the
economist would say; to be sure not
the expended energy of the capitalist,
who, because of an Ubiquitous social
arrangement, happens to possess it,
but the expended energy or labor
power of hundreds and thousands of
other people in this and past genera
tons.
No capitalist or any other single in
dividual could, with his own labor,
build a skyscraper, or one of our
modern streets, or an automobile, or
produce the value equivalent to a
million dollars, or anything approach
ing it, even if he lived several hun
.dred years and labored every day
This being true, the capitalist can
have no right to own and to use for
his personal benefit and according to
his caprice the accumulated and
stored-up energy of others. If he
works in any socially useful capacity
he is entitled to a fair return for the
labor pow or mental or physical en-
ergy which he has expended, but no
more.
No social problem concerns the re-
Iations between dead things and Iiv-
ing beings, or between dead things
themselves. All social problems are
human problems. We should there
for cease to talk about labor and
capital" and instead deal directly
with workers and capitalists or other
