capitalists will do no more for the
workers than the large capitalists
have done, if LaFollette is put in
power.

that are in opposition to the small

CAPITALIST LAW
WON'T LET man
DIE HIS OWN WAY

DETROIT-A resident of Detroit is
going to be brot to trial for trying to
end his misery with death.
A court is going to decide whether
it is crime punishable with impris-
onment, for human being to attempt
to take his own life. The defendant
is a drug addict overcome with de-
spair. But dependency overy pow
erty caused by unemployment or des-
pondency over illness from natural
causes would obviously have the same
status under the law.
Church Agrees with Heavan.
The church holds that it is a crime
in the eyes Of heaven for a man to
take his own life or attempt to take
it. But if death and the church don't
get you in the event of a successful
suicide, the law and the police will
if you fail, if Paul w. VOORHEES,, prose-
cutting attorney of Wayne county, wins
his case against Duber Harris.
There is no law on the statute
books. But the prosecutor is going to
bring Harris to trial under the com.
mon law on a charge of attempted
self-destruction." Harris has taken
the drug cure three times. After be-
ing released from a sanitarium as
cured he went to work at the Ford
Motor Co. plant in Highland Park. He
had not worked there long before he
