ing. They are being taught that
their pitiful condition of poverty
and servitude is not right nor,
necessary, and that they can
change conditions with their
votes. They are even being
taught that rich men have no
right to lord it over poor men and
take from them all that their
labor produces. Of course all these
things are true, but we can't
afford to let the common people
find it out. And in order to keep
them from finding it out we've
got to have harmony among the
master class, to which you belong.
Now for the sake of harmony I
advise you to forget your personal
ambition for a little while. Rub
the salve of patriotism on these
recent steam-roller bruises and
then forget about them. Go out
and preach Preparedness and tell
the dear people how fine and
honorable it is to fight and die
for their country. But go sorter
light on the subject of whose
country it really is, or you might
spoil everything.
Now, Ted, if the earth gets so
good and peaceful that you can't

things and come right on down
here. Well manage to furnish
amusement for you.

If you want to know exactly
what difference there is between
a Bandit and a Patriot, I refer
you to my Sermon on Villa'' in
last issue of The Fool-Killer.
Boiled down into a single sem
tence, the gist of the whole mat
ter isjust this: If a military lead
er has a sufficient following to
make the other leaders and the,
people afraid of him, he is a Pa
triot. But if his crowd is small
and weak and poorly equipped,
then. he is. asBandit: See? That's.
all there is to it, and a thousand
books written on the subject
couldn't explain it any better.
