THE PEOPLE
ARE SLAVES
Unspeakable 1nsolence Of Office
Holding Gang in Chicago
Arouses the Public.

The overbearing insolence Of some
Of the Office holders in the City Hall
and County Building calls attention to
the fact that an once Holding Arts.
tocracy is rapidly growing into perma.
nent control of our public affairs.
Among our officials there are some
honorable exceptions-some men who
feel that they are in Office to serve
the people.
But there are others-and their
number Is increasing-who imagine
that the only thing the average citizen
Is good for Is to vote.
Party allegiance Is forgotten when
they are sworn In and the Jobs 20
to relatives, regardless Of party or At.
ness.
The once Holding Aristocracy has
no use for the voter after he has used
him.
Herbert Kaufman paid his respects
to these fellows when he called atten.
ton to their treatment Of the public
in these words:
you consider yourself an important
person because your position occasion.
ally permits you to annoy people. But
SO can gnat, rusty hinge, q rafting
window and other minor bothers.
"lmpudence Is q Smart.aleck's con.
ception Of impressiveness back.
stairs notion Of big folks behavior.
An upstart betrays himself by the
manner he displays his authority.
Those who aren't accustomed to
the use Of power invariably abuse It,
"lnsolence Is the snarl Of the insig.
nificant-big head evidence Of q
small one.
you merely show up when you
show OF. We all know Just about
what your Job pays and therefore how
much intelligence It demands-so why
bluff?
"Omce boys, bell hops and cash
girls may possibly mistake your i'm.
pertinence as manifestation Of 81.
periority. but the public recognizes
the ass In the III hitting lions skin.
Headquarters always hears the
creak in the machine and soon locates
the source Of the trouble"
The voters Of Chicago may be fools
some Of the time; they may be 30
supine part Of the time that these Pub.
lie once Aristocrats look upon them
a. serfs.
But the voters Of Chicago are not
going to be fools all Of the time.
And when they wake up. some Of
these swell heads will hear from them.
