the words: "Ten thousand curses on
the law!" Still there lurked In his
heart the conviction that the law was
compounded Of cant and cruelty, and
that the whole complex system of
statutes and precedents had been in
vented in tho interests Of IN exploit
ing class.
But what was that to him-now?
Once more he was the Judge who
had been reared in the law; who for
long years had. expounded the law:
who was regarded as An eminent au-
:thority on the principles Of :jurtspru-
dence; and who, moreover, was a
member Of that class who looked to
the law to suppress all those who in
terfered with their comfort or threat
ened their security.
Addressing the prisoner, he. said:
II would be wanting in my duty to
The labor world., 1921-09-03

than answered. He was that man he
had been about to sentence when this
inexplicable and terrible change took
place.
He knew he had been the judge;
and now was conscious of being that
miserable criminal. Only he had nov
yet committed the .erime.
Il am faint with hunger" he NUT
tered, 'and my wife and children are
starving at home. From somewhere
or other must get food" -. ~
Rising to his feet, he approached a.
house, and knocking at the door,
jerked out his pitiful tale and begged
for bread. :
1--WE have nothing for you," said,
the housewife, and turned within. !
AS, broken and despairing, he
walked slowly along the verandah,
CHANGING to glance in through an open
easement he saw a table spread for
substantial meal. - -:
There was nobody in the room: the
ne1ghboOrhood was a quiet one.
Obeying primal impulse, he swift
ly entered by the window, grasped a
loaf of bread, and cramming other
eatables into his pockets. made his
escape. )
Alas, he was observed! "A man saw
him climbing out at the window with
the loaf in his hand and seized him
as he was furtively leaving by the
gate, attempting to conceal the evil
dence of his guilt beneath his coat.
He struggled with his captor, but,
weak with privation. was easily over
come and dragged off to the police
station, where he was charged with
house-breaking and locked in a cell.
How he hated the law that treated
him so cruelty! He felt that he was
the helpless victim of a monster called
society, that denied him the oppor-
tunlty to work for his livelihood, pun.
ished his poor wife and, children for
being dependent upon him, threat
ened them all with starvation, and
when he took bread to save their lives
caught him in the meshes Of the law,
ana confronted him with the hypo-
critical austerity of an ethical code,
Ten thousand curses on the law!"
A tremor passed through his body
as ne breathed this sentiment, for he
realized that in some. Occult way he
was still the Judge asswell as the un-
happy criminal.
But he cared nothing now for those
legal principles that before were the
very texture of his being. They were
not devised for the good of the com.
munity, but for the aggrandisement
and protection of a predatory class.
The law was the pillar Of an evil
social system. Upon it there was
reared an edifice of fraud, corruption
and injustice.
How clear it had all grown to him!
Want and suffering had sharpened his
perception of the truth.
Never again would he reverence
law, till it ceased to be the mainstav
of oppression, and became the sup
port of free and happy community;
not founded on terror but on love.
These rebellious thoughts calmed
the turbulence Of his spirit, and he
fell asleep that night with smile
upon his lips
Next morning, when he awoke, to
his great astonishment he was again
seated on the bench in the court wear
ing his robe of ermine and on his head
wig; with the barristers, policemen,
and jury before him, and in the dock,
about to be sentenced, the man who
had stoleh food
And still there surged in his brain

PHILOSOPHY OF A FOOL
THE LAWYERS ADVENTURE
BY TOUCHSTONE, HE. b.

and when human nature
grew restive or rebelled he brought
into operation code Of penalties that
quickly repressed it. and turned it into
a degraded semblance of itself.
Thus endowed and buttressed, the
rich became rulers Of Whereisit
And then the joke began.
The poverty caused by the depreda-
| tions of the, rich brought into exist
ence many petty offenders against the
law, and it was highly diverting to
| the Supreme Joker to see the many
anomalous encounters that ensued-
tn big thieves laying violent hands
on the little ones, gravely indicting
as enemies Of society those who were
less criminal than themselves.
The lawyer was exceptionally stern
in his attitude towards those who
were charged with theft. He had no
mercy for them whatever. And when
he was made judge, the sentences
he inflicted on all such offenders were
characterized by the most ruthless
severity.
He would not listen to the plea OF
extenuating circumstances. He held
that the most powerful of human
emotions should be respect for the
law, and was in the habit of saying
that If he and those whom he loved
were starving he would not steal
bread. though it lay easily within his
reach.
In this connection a most remark
able adventure once befell the lawyer.
And Pm going to tell you all about it.
He was about to pass sentence on
man who had been found guilty of
breaking into a house and stealing
food
Addressing the wretched culprit, he
said:
"The jury have recommended you
to mercy because, at the time, you
were starving. . I cannot allow such
plea to have any weight with me-
The laws of the land are superior to
all private considerations, and must be
observed under every circumstance,
or their violation sternly punished,
otherwise the very foundations of So
ciety would be shaken, and orderly
government become impossible"
1.-The thought Of my famishing
wife and little ones made me desper-
ate," said the man.
The lawyer bent. upon him an i'm
placable eye.
prisoner" he said, "the greater the
temptation to break the law, the more
firmly should we abide by it. No mis-
fortune, no suffering, would ever in
duce me to offend against. the laws
of my country"
AS he uttered these words he heard
sound of distant laughter, that
seemed to come from the very heav-
ems. At the same moment the court
room and everybody in it faded away,
and the lawyer found himself sitting
by roadside. on the outskirts Of the
city.
He felt that something 'extraordi-
nary had happened to him, and his
mind was filled with fear. He was
no longer attired in an ermine robe,
with great wig upon his head, but
wore the clothes Of a laborer-shab-
by, begrimed and patched. =.
His soft white hands were now
coarse and knotted; and his face, that
before had been so carefully shaven
was covered with matted hair.
He was not himself! He was some-
body else! Who, then, was he?
The question was no sooner asked

you're q canting villain, and you

The court was thrown into conster-
nation the Judge turned
as white as the ermine on his robe {.
>. policemen laid heavy hands on
the prisoner and dragged him away.
And again from the sky that was
visible through the windows of the
court, there came the sound Of laugh
ter.
It was God. enjoying a joke that
only he could see.
The labor world., 1921-09-03

''Those that are Fools, let them use
their Talets. Twelfth Night.
When the God who dearly loved a
joke created Whereisit. he fashioned
it on principles of law and order, and
then let loose in it a lawless and dis
orderly spirit. From this circum-
stance the most humorous incOnsis-
tencles arose, and not a day passed
without the Supreme Joker deriving
exquisite satisfa ction from his inge-
nious contradiction.
The sun and the moon and the stars
never for a moment deviated from the
course laid down for them. They had
no irresponsible impulses. They went
on doing the same old things exactly
as it was ordained they should; no
one could ever accuse them of being
actuated by Wilful and Wanton mo-
tives.
But how different was the state Of
that mankind upon which they gazed
down with a mild surprise, even while
they shed their rays Of warmth ana
light with irreproachable regularity
for its benefit.
Mankind did very little that it was
supposed to do, and, on the other
:; hand, was continually doing the things
that were not mapped out for it.
This erratic streak in its character,
when opposed to the unfailing reli-
ability of natural phenomena, was
productive Of some really funny situ-
ations and God enjoyed them greatly.
1t was good sport to see men striving
to turn night into day, and then day
ipro iub oh oir
devices to keep cool in the summer
and warm in the winter was most
amusing.
There were other ways in which
natures Orderliness and mans way
Wardncss had comic results when they
clashed together But, after all, there
was not a great deal Of variety in the
joke, and before many thousands of
years had passed God rather Wearied
OF it.
50 he thought the matter over for
an con or two; and then there flashed
into his mind an idea so rich in hui
morous possibilities that he chuckled
over the very thought of it for several
centuries.
The idea was this: To give a certain
section of mankind an interest in in
venting laws, and implant in the mind
Of another section a passion for main-
tanning them.
Presently, in pursuance Of the plan
thus conceived. there arose a.lOng
mankind class that by the practices
Of exploitation grew rich, and with
the object Of protecting their wealth
began to suggest that anyone who in
tcrfcrcd with or jeOpardized their
possessions Was guilty of an Offcnse
against God and humanity, and ought
to be punished for it.
And almost simultaneously there
came into existence another section
that devised measures to safeguard
-. the rich from the danger Of losing by
force what they had gained by fraud
And among these the lawyer was first
and. foremost.
So enamored of law was he that he
divided the human race into two
classes-those who kept the law and
these who broke it.
And he built up a great legal sys-
tenn, full Of the most amazing lncon-
sistencies and absurdities, but invest
cd with sacred sanctions and sur
sounded with secular solemnities; and
