ON SHOOTING ONES DAUGHTER

Down on Staten Island, on Sun day, there was enacted a little tragedy that should make men think. A man tried to kill his child, failed, and killed himself. He was no maniac, just victim of the eco- homie system in which we live, a system Of "the devil take the hind most" When sickness came upon him, he was one of the hindmost. So the devil took him.
 His name was Thomas Newhort and his daughter Agnes was ten years old! He told her in the early morning that if it wasn't for leav- ing her alone in the world, he would end it all. She was irighten- ed. So later, when she saw him his bureau drawer, she fled from the room. He fired two shots after her, but missed. He had decided rot to leave her alone in the world. When sine came back with a policeman, her father was dead.
 The steers on the plain, the bees in the hive, the ants in the hill, all stand together. It is the wolves in the pack who turn upon a fallen comrade and rend him. Is modern society much better than that? Thomas Newnort had fallen vic tim to reumatism, which had com pelled him to give up his business A year ago he tried to commit sui eide by ages. He gave the last warn ing of distress, but the aid did not come. Surrounded by demonstra- tiCns of the vast organized power of society he was left an unorga- nzed individual to fight alone at time when his earning power was gone. In the blackness of despair, in the abyss of want, he was told to struggle with disease alone.
 Think of the mighty power to fight disease which we posses to- day! Shall that power be avail able only for the wealthy classes? Baths and scientific treatment would have restored Thomas New hort to health. It would have given him his courage back, his earning power. Agnes would have grown up in home. with father to guide her The treatment which Thomas NewEort needed should have been his and not out of char ity. It should have been his as a rightful return for the contribu- tions which he, in his earning days, made for social insurance fund designed to care for just such things.
 Not only Thomas Newhort has failed. You and I and all who ought to have been organized to help him-we also have failed. The social organization has failed.
 It is not time for us to drop this selfish lassiez-faire policy of the devil take the hindmost" and substitute policy of "all of us help the hindmost"? If we have no leadership capable of rising to meet these problems, the leadership we have will be ropudiatcd like so many leaders of the past.
 The cruelty Of this social order turned Thomas Newhorts love for his daughter into attempted murd- CT. Because he loved her, he chose not to leave her alone in tho world he was voluntarily quitting. If we are not careful, other natural senti- ments will be turned into their op- posites in men of Thomas New horts class. Love of country, be- liof in leadership, truts in religion will be turned into fierce and active resentment against d system which treats the worker like an orange-to be sucked dry and thrown aside-New York Evening Mail.

If there was ever a time when people should read and study the conditions under which we live it is now. Prepare to feel yourself a unit in great government and realize, as you will you must wake up or be enslaved. We are really only nominally free now. The req son we don't see it is because our masters are many. All of us com mon people work for somebody. We have to do so to live and scrmpy sort of living we get out of it.
