The Riverside Tribune complains
because before the coal strik, wood
was selling at Riverside between $500
and $500 cord, and since the coal
strike the price has jumped to from
so to SIS per cord, and says ARE the
wood haulers profiteers or just smart
business menu" The fact is that 1t Is
the germ in the blood, and no class or
condition is free from taking advan-
tage of every chance, even II that
chance involves the misery Of human
ity. We are prone to cry out against
the profiteers in big business when
the fact is that when the chance comes
few can resist the temptation to take
advantage of the same to make kill
ing. The weakness permeates every
strata of society from the man who
works with his hands to the head of
big business, only we are SO in the
habit of throwing bricks at the man
higher up that we overlook the man
lower down. Human nature Is human
nature and all the crazy panaceas that
are being proposed by impracticable
agitators can never make a change
until there is a radical change in hui
man nature.
