MR.. WRIGHT AGAIN.
To the Editor:

10 the bUlCOf:
In Matthew 7:15; we read: Beware
of false prophets, which come to you
in sleeps clothing, but inwardly they
are ravening wolves"
These words came to my mind when
I read in the paper Christmas eve,
long article by David Lawrence, editor
of the United States News. The ar
ticle was headed: Bridges From Man
to Man" Under that heading, he asks:
'Will Christmas 1886, mark the be-
ginning of a spiritual revolution in
America and emphasize God-control
III business, in politics, in Govern
ment, and in every walk of life?"
Then ne states: "The opportunity for
such q profound change is at hand"
Would to God the farmers and work
ing folks who may read this article
10y Lawrence, to which I refer, know
David Lawrence as well as he is
known by the well read public. He is
one of the big writer's of the country
and belongs, tooth and nail to Wall
Street. He gets many thousands of
dollars a year for the part he plays
in keeping the people fooled and thus
the easy prey of the greedy rich. He
is an enemy of the great producing
class, and a powerful friend of the
plutocrats. He eats bread produced
by the poverty stricken farmers of
our country and does all he can to
keep them in that low condition.
This article he has written for the
papers, at this Christmas time, will
be published by practically all papers,
for it is the strongest kind of argu-
ment for the people to turn from
thoughts of their Government to eff
forts to lay up treasure in Heaven,
while Wall Street gets their worldly
produce. Until Wall Street gets bet
ter hold on the people than it has we
will be seeing many such articles
from the pens of such as David Law
renee. And it is done to offset the eff
fects of the late landslide produced
by the American voter Plutocracy is
scared because twenty-seven million
people voted against their interest,
last November. To prove the truthful
ness of that statement Lawrence says
in his article, speaking of the Roose-
welt landslide: Gould such en-
thusiasm, such energy, such intense
devotion to a cause be applied to a
spiritual awakening in America the
end of class warfare in our midst
would be assured" The rich, for
whom Lawrence speaks all the time
wants the devotion of the people fix
cd on Heaven, where Wall Street has
not a darn bit of interest, so then the
plutocrats can continue to keep the
working people in poverty while they
live on their laI. or in royal STYLE
Notice in the above quotation Mr.
Lawrence wants to end class warfare
in AYnerica. What he means to say
and would say if he was not a coward,
is, You people who work and produce
everything just keep quiet and work
Don't think you or your family should
have any comforts in this world, you
look TO Heaven, we the rich have the
sole right to the good things of this
world. Don't think that just because
Roosevelt has lightened your burden
a little bit that you are to have a de-
cent living, because you shall not. And
Lawrence could have gone on and said
just as truthfully: Your Senators and
representatives from North Carolina
will help us to keep you slaves, so be
content for we the rich have YOU hog
tied, and your next Governor and next
Legislature will be friendly to u.s.
They are going to put liquor all over
North Carolina SO that those we can't
make drunk on religion we will soak
in hell broth. So you fool working
folks behave yourselves and vote the
ticket the big fellows tell you to vote.
We plutocrats have shown you slaves
in the past years of the New Deal that
we can starve you in the midst of
plenty and we are going to continue
and you had better not ask why. No
cls IS warfare for Mr.. Lawrence and
