"You Amt Done Right by ]. P.
Morgan" Cries Gary
"A HUMAN DOCUMENT

tion in industry" the white-haired
jurist suggests that "the domineer-
ing man repulses others, while the
dominating man attracts the.l." 7.
p, according to Gary, belonged to
the latter type.
Conscious chat he hit good tack,
Gary continues: when a man dora
ineers over those who may be weak-
Ell, or at a disadvantage, he creates
anger and hatred and sows the seeds
of conflict" In the steel strike of
1919, one remembers with great
satisfaction that Gary studiously
avoided this evil spirit of creating
anger and sowing the seeds of con-
flict.
At this point / collided with a full
page ad Of Campbell's soup, so 1
stopped.
100000 people in the United
States will read this stupid, lying,
hypocritical tripe, and the majority
Of them will believe it. Many Of
them will be quoting fragments of
what they vaguely remembered read
ing when the next strike of the 400,-
000 sweated, starved and terroriyal
steel workers is called.
Cal Isn't the First One
In the past the ruling class of
America was content to create myths
about politicians who were elected to
office. By one fell swoop a petty,
unimaginative small-town lawyer be-
came "great man" with his cleo
tion to congress or the senate. Lib
eral history textbooks (even the best,
like Beard's) are not wholly free
from this inane and vapid fraud. The
case of Calvin Coolidge, of North
ampton, Mass, happened to be the
most notorious merely because it was
the most absurd.
"Sex Isn't Everything"
Our financial ruling class is suf-
fering from a terrific inferiority
complex. England has its lords and
peers. Lloyd George put on a big
rummage sale of titles some time
ago, and the proceeds were devoted
entirely to the heroic task of reviv-
ing the carcass of the British Lib
eral Party. In America, unfortun-
ately, titles are not available, but the
cravings of the human spirit for dis
tinction and for the respect of others
is as intense in the steely heart Of
Morgan or Gary as it is in the
heart of the most obscure moron"
that Mencken might discover.
"The Morgan Collection"
Many years ago, the elder Morgan
began this process of belonging"
He began to buy up rare paintings,
and then he terrified London book
collectors at auctions by his bid
dings for original manuscripts of the
English classics. Tibet anyone that he
rarely fingered lovingly the tarnished
pages of Shelley's Indian Serenade"
or "The Masque of Anarchy" He
probably never looked at them.
Having become a Civilized" per-
son in the sense of having announced
public love for 'the higher and
finer" the next step in the develop
ment of typical boorish large-scale
hijackers like Morgan and Gary is
TO persuade themselves and others
that they are human" as well,--in
spite of grizzly eXteriors.
What is SpargO Writing?
This job Gary has attempted for
his departed comrade in the "por-
trait" that he did for the Saturday
Evening Post. The white-washing Of
Gary himself, I mustn't fail to point
out, has just been completed by Ida
Tarbell. Miss Tarbell, in her youth
full impetuous days wrote a brilliant
study of John DIS Standard Oil Com
pany; Of late she has repented, and
her book on the labor-hating Gary is
glowing tribute to the vicious
genius of the man who soon retires
from the active headship of the U.
S. Steel Corporation.
