History Repeats

Even as the prophet Jere- miah cried out angrily in the Temple at the wealthy and powerful of Jerusalem: Great have ye become, and stout and rich. But the fatherless cry cut against ye, and the humble and the needy bear witness to your transgressions," so do the masses of today raise voices of deprivation and suffering against the small aggregation of men who have accumulated for themselves control of most of the nations wealth and re- sources, mainly through a sys- tenn of exploiting the real pro- ducers of wealth by confiscat- ing an undue proportion of all that labor and the land pro- duce.
 No less an authority than one of the great government de- partments announced a year or so ago that less than 700 fam lilies in the United States re- ceived each year more of the annually earned wealth of the nation than all the rest of the 120-odd million people com prising our population.
 Has ever a more damning in- dictment of predatory wealth been uttered than this?
 Who can justly blame the boilers for feeling resentment against a system under which a mere handful of people are able to wiring from the toll and sweat and hardships of their fellows the greater part of all the wealth they are able to pro- duce, and without themselves doing one single thing which could even be remotely classed as actually creating wealth?
 How could such a condition as shown in those government. al figures be achieved except by taking unfair advantage of those who toll, who actually produce, and who, with the land are the real source of all created wealth.
 Many excuses are offered by the high priests of the great temple of Finance, but the fact remains that an unfair advan- tage and a form of robbery must underlie a system which enables a few to take from the the many four-fifths of all that is produced.
 Time will change it all, of

known that John Jones owed
Bill Brown a lot of money and
that he had often threatened to
take his life. All the evidence
was as plain as the nose on my
my face. Palmer.
John Jones sat six long
weeks in that court room; like
wise a hundred witnesses and
a dozen jurymen. They were
all eager and bright fellows,
most anxious that justice be
done upon the evidence that
was to be brought forward.
But they never heard a scrap
of evidence, for neither side
seemed interested in the facts.
They listened to the reports of
high7Salaried medical experts
who dwelt at great length upon
the state of lunacy among the
ancient Babylonians and among
the ancient Assyrians. AS
Bill Jones was a descendant Of
neither of these races (who
died out 5000 years ago), this
had really very little to do
with the case, but it made
highly interesting news for the
daily papers.
After that, counsel for the
defense made an elaborate
study of the phalanx as a
method of attack used by the
MacedonianS, while the prose-
cutting attorney delivered a
lengthy lecture which proved
that the Eskimos of the Ameri-
can mainland had been the
real inventors of stewed blub-
ber, and that stewed blubber,
as a table delicacy, had not
been invented by the Eskimos
of Greenland.
AND so ON
Next, both sides decided
upon a fashion show, at
which young ladies from Park
Avenue best families acted as
mannikins and during which
John Jones, the defendant,
managed to pinch a million
dollar bracelet from an old
dowager.

sides entered into a competition

self to be side-tracked in one
single little item.
How had this happened?
What had I really done? Never
mind telling him stories about
how much I loved my wife and
children. Never mind about
what 1 had really meant to do
that week when I gave six lee
lures in five days and went
three days without a regular
meal. And would I please not
bother him with all sorts of
trivial yarns about incidents
that had nothing at all to do
with the case. He was there to
make me better and see that
justice was done in the tribunal
of Nature. He had consulted
with my former physicians who
now lived in another city. To
gether they had sifted the evi"
dence. For the evidence was
all they cared for to repair the
damage that had been done
and to prevent a recurrence OF
this most regrettable incident.
Now we bid farewell to my ex'
cellent physician and the curtain
comes down for exactly five Sec
onds to make the reader forget
about this cheerful little scene
in the Sickroom.
John Jones had a grudge
against Bill Brown. One day
John met Bill in the market
place and, without a word of
warning, hit Bill on the pro-
boScis, which, if that be Greek
to you, is Latin for Schnozzle.
He hit him good and hard. AS
a result, Bill Brown almost went
to Heaven and John Jones went
to Jail. He had broken the laws
of society, even as I had broken
the laws of nature. He there
fore found himself confined to a
small room, Wnere ne muSC
abide until it could be decided
what his punishment was to be.
Being a man of means Gll-
gotten means, but means never

hire himself quite an array Of
lawyers. Meanwhile, the public
as represented by the State,
deeply incenSed at the cruelty
of this totally unwarranted at
tack, had also called upon a
number of distinguished prac-
titioners to see to it that justice
be done.
And finally a distinguished
judge donned his toga, and
John Jones was brought into
the courtroom to hear these
legal luminarieS discuss his case.
