WHAT'S THE NATTER?

they have control Of all the large fac
tories and packing houses. that they
own the railroads and steamship lines,
and that they control about third Of
the working class of America. Yes.
and tell him that another dozen have
control Of the iron, the steel, the oil,
the coal. and also help to own the rail-
roads and steamship lines. These
other twelve men have under their en-
ployment another third of America $
working class.
These twenty-four men, or about
that number, have decided to control
ALL American food. clothing, steel.
coal, oil, and her transportation sys-
tenn. Hence they throw thousands Of
men out of work, reduce wages, and
cause all the small dealers to quit the
| job and sell to them.
There you have it.
1t is perfectly natural that when a
man gets hold Of sweet apple he
wants 1t all, but are the rest OF us go
ing to sit like mummies and let him
steal our food out of our mouths Has
he the right to eat all the apple and
let his fellow citizen starve by his side3
No. not by a jug full. Just because
he was more successful in life than
some of us is no excuse for him con-
trolling what we all must have to live
on. What are we, the working class
of America, the fruit of the nation,
going to do about our hoggish bro
therl
Time will tell.
AS Abe Lincoln said. ''You can fool
part of the people all Of HE time, all
of the people part Of the time; but
you cannot fool all of the people al
of the time.

Whats The Matter" is an article
from the Pleasant Literary Society
Journal, the magazine of the Literary
society of the Rosepine High School,
and was read by one Of the members
before school last Friday. Ii was
written by Robert Lindsey, one of the
high school students.
WHAT'S THE MATTERp
Yes, what is the matter with Amer
ica3 Why is she putting thousands Of
men out Of work every day2 Why are
prices and wages falling to pre-war
times2. Why are strikes occurring
and what's the matter with our trans
portation systemp Has America gene
into a delirious spasm? Never before
have so many people been in such a
critical condition as they are at the
present time and things gradually
growing worse. By the outcome Of
the war, America became the wealth
lest nation on earth, yet her people
are starving, freezing, and going in
rags. Is it because the war cost such
an enormous sum that all our produce
must go to pay war tax or that we
did not produce enough the past year
to feed our people7 No. these are moi
the reasons. America produced more
food stuffs in 1920 than ever before
in any one year. Thousands upor
thousands of tons of food were produc
ed, yet we must starve. Who is tc
blamep Why don't Uncle Sam dc
something's Is he asleep2 Someone
awaken him and tell him, his children
are starving. Yes, and someone tel
him that about dozen Of his aristo
cratic children are running the Amer
lean food and clothing supply. Tha

searching for my sword, and there

breast of Zad who lay stone dead

flesh and muscles which cover my
ribs, entering near the center of my
chest and coming out below the Shoul-
der. AS | lunged had turned so that
his sword merely passed beneath the
muscles. inficting painful but not
dangerous wound.
Removing the blade from my body

my back upon his ugly carcass, ]

ward the chariots which bore my ret
inue and my belongings. A murmur
of Martian applause greeted me. but

Bleeding and weak l reached my

her encounter with Sarkoja, whose
dagger it seemed had struck the edge
of one of Sola's metal breast orna-
ments and, thus detected. had inflicted
but a slight flesh wound.
