OTHERS VIEWS
A WISE LETTER

To the Editor:
We have been reading Mr.. WrightS
SupplicatiOnS for the poor man Tor
a long time. MIR. Wright has made
many a honest plea for said classes.
Jesus Christ was one of those that
had great concern for the poor: With
only one exception, the criticism OF
Mr. Wright has come directly from
the very classes that he has ardent
ly attempted to aid. MIR. Wright can
tell me off-hand who were Napoleon,
Attila, or Hannibal; but, I'll bet you,
for the life of me, he cannot tell me
off-hand who concOcted the small
pox vaccine If Mr. Wright could just
picture in his own mind wallpaper
hanger and house-painter that is
now causing great concern thru-out
the world, l think he would come to
know his public better.
If Mr.. Wright really wants to know
how he can effect the very reforms
that he so impetuausly endorses, l
would suggest that he read Ancient
Roman History, and he will learn
that the Roman farmer effected the
very reforms that he so ardently sug-
guests. The Roman farmer, not like
Mr. Wright, did not use prayers ana
supplications, he (meaning the Ro-
man farmers) starved the city folk
until they were very willing to &C
cede to their wishes, namely, that OF
paying the farmers better price Tor
their products. Does not Mr.. Wright
gain a thing by reading the history
of Oliver Cromwell, the French Rev.
olution, or our own Civil War? Has
Mr. Wright never learned thing
from the history of the American
Revolution or the overthrow Of the
Car of Russia? Mr. Wright has con-
stantly inferred that we should elect
governmentals that would look out
for the welfare Of the poorer classes.
And even if we did elect said gov
ernmentals and even when said gov
ernmentls arrived in Washington, d.
c., their intentions may still be good;
but alas. my dear friend, l have
lived in Washington, it would be no
time after said governmental arrived
in Washington than his wife and
daughter would aspire to travel with
the better classes (alWays means, in
America, the money class), and then
it would only be a matter Of time
before the ole lady and gal would
have persuaded the ole man to fol-
low suit and he always does, have
never seen it fail. Now, what would
your suggested plebiscite amount
to? Not a hill of beans If Mr.
Wright's suggested plebiscite fails,
he has one alternative left he can
go a-begging. Mr.. Wright, let me see
if I can imbibe rational thought
into your perspective: build a high
wall around your home and live
selfishly for yourself, and you will
ahve people a-hankering to enter
therein; but due to your honest en-
deavours to aid unfortunate human
ity, you neither have friend come in
or poor man stop There have been
mere physicians "cussed OUT than
pugilist: the former has a cure for
most of your physical ailments, the
you if you become contentious with
him. Might may not be right; but it
is SO.
Think of the following:
"Hier Sitz' ich. fOrme menSchen
Mach meinem Bilde,
Elm Geschlecht, das mir gleich sci,
Zu leiden, zu Weinen,
Zu geniessen und Zu freuen SIGH,
Und dein NIGHT zu achten,
Vie ich;" From Goethe's poem,
PrOmteheus.
Interpreted:
"Here I sit forming mankind
in my own image,
A race resembling me-
To sorrow, to weep,
To taste, to have pleasure,
And to have no need of thee,
Even as I!''
Frank L. Faulkner
