---" when a King Loves" J: Fourth Of Six 1Aricts
Du Barry Beauty Won Louis XV'S Love
And Unrelenting Hatred OF French Mob
PRETTY MLINFRS APPRENTICE BECAME QUEEN IN ALL BUT NAME

OF the palace ct Versailles, "the Du
Barry" ruled like q queen not only
Louis, but oil France.
The court had 10 bow, but the
people didn't like II. Lampoons and
bitted verses on "the Du Barry"
circulated freely, and on her powd-
cred head was poured the hatred
OF q nation. For while Louis anus
ed himself with Du Barry and the
other favorites OF the court, the
machinery Of government was fall
ing 10 pieces beneath him, eaten
away by crookedness, inefficiency,
dislOyalty, and sheer inertia. The
water Of Indignation was rapidly
being stored up for the deluge that
the king was to escape, but that
was TO sweep Du Barry away.
For the king died, two years be.
fore the outbreak OF the American
revolution, and IS years before
revolution was TO sweep away
monarchy. Smallpox, whose dead
illness Is only legend today, car
ried him Of while q terrified court
gingerly avoided the sick room where
Louis the Weil-Be- loved" lay dying.
Du Barry did not give up her
position without q struggle. But with
the arrival at court Of Marie AM
toinette, the Austrian princess, TO
be queen Of Louis XVI, Du Barry
was gradually frozen out OF any
position Of influence, and driven
from the court.
After O year Of imprisonment IN
the Abbey OF Pont.aux-D Danes, Du
Barry managed to win back ct cards
most Of her lost fortunes, and TO
live In luxury with o series OF other
lovers.
Mob Remembered Her
Then came the deluge over which
she and Louis had laughed together.
When the revolution OF 1893 broke
In all It's fury, Du Barry had been
long away from the court or active
participation In public affairs. But
the public had not forgotten her.
TO them she was q symbol, Justly
or unjustly, Of oil the rottenness OF
the old regime.
An Englishman, drieve, said 10
have been disappointed sutton,
accused her before o revolutionary
court. sse was charged with having
tried TO sell In England some OF
the fabulous Jewels Louis had given
her, with having conspired against
the revolution, and with having
worn mourning for the tyrant."
The trial, like ell those during
the Reign OF Terror, was farce,
but the charges themselves were
quite sufficient TO insure convic-
ton, which came on the morning
OF Dec. 7, 1893. That same evening,
"the Dh Barry" now 30 years old,
her legendary beauty destroyed BY
time and terror, was dragged

TT THE clear aim Of this admins
tration had been to get people
back to work inside the established
i economic system, 1t would not
have erected . different and . separate
system. a kind Of ghostly common
wealth, In which to isolate from the
main stream the unemployed workers.
For that Is what the w. p. A. Is. 1t Is
q little world of its own. Its members
are catalogued and registered. regi-
mented and controlled. They are en-
ployed according to standards directly
at variance with all other standards
of employment. Their wages are de-
termined by quite different measuring
rods. They live completely outside the
economy in which the rest OF us Tor
better or worse work and live. Beside
this fact all the other charges against
w. p. A. are relatively unimportant.
In q mass Of more sensational features

we overlook what Is by far the most
important long time aspect Of what
the w. P. A. Is doing! 1t Is educating
. working population to society which
Is fundamentally different from the
one In which the majority live.
The economic system in which the
majority of us live operates under
the much-excoriated profit motive and

that Of another common laborer. Of
the same skill or lack Of 1t, he may
earn twice as much as his comrade,
not through any superior work, but
through the fact that he has . large
family and has to pay . high rent.
II, added to that, some Of his family
are Ill. or bad managers, 1t Is the duty
OF his employer-the Government-to
assume that added burden.
It Is very unflattering comment on
the conditions Of work which have
existed in some private industries
that there are men and women who
actually are attracted to this system.
What Is the effect Of working any
length Of time under such conditions?
There Is . widespread complaint that
the w. p. A. workers loaf on the job;
that they do not give an honest
hours work for the prevailing rate"
with which they are compensated.
But II this Is 50, must not there be
. reason for it?
May Adjust Selves to Law.
There is q reason for 1t, and the
reason Is inherent in the system.
This Is made work, and the workers
know 1t. 1t is done not because there
Is a crying demand for the work but
because there Is a desire arising out
OF a sort of sentimental morality to
make people work for what they get,
even II what they get Is necessary to

condition no fault Of their own. The
compensation Is predicated by the
need. That Is the law Of the system.
And II that is the law, should We be
surprised If people adjust themselves
to that law? Is 1t not the intelligent
thing to do? II . man Is rewarded
according to his needs, regardless OF
his abilities, will he not, by the SIM
plest law Of self-preservation increase
his needs and decrease his abilities?
Russian communism saw that with
complete clarity and, being engaged
in the serious and heroic task Of re-
building . vast nation. introduced into
state work the strongest kind Of COM
petition, with suitable rewards for
superior effort.
A nation cannot exist, in the long
run. divided into two sorts Of work
societies. For men will be attracted
to one or to the other, ana the men
In one will resent the Disadvantages
to be found in the one ana the al
vantages to be found in the otner.
Antagonisms will grow; resenImenH
will increase: society will be split.
The men on work relief will ask
they are already asking-why they
are not allowed to sell the products
Of their toll in the open market. But
the men who are working in the open
market, in q competitive system. will
oppose every attempt in that direc-
ton. They have already opposed all
such attempts. Does any one who has
his wits about him question that So
cial antagonisms are growing in this
country? That they have grown pro.
digiously In the last three years? One
can shout that this group or that
is to blame-accuse the Economic
Royalists-that's . new name for rich
Republicans-or look for q Red under

far less interested in fixing the blame
than in alleviating the tension.

the pro- French Walloons, and the

other Is the fact that the Belgian
