Bound by the grave-dot he. of de

Like Lazarus, lain, entombed, the I

To rou e thee from the sleep, ere j

Still did they watch and toil, and1
still didst thou
Sleep on. though dreams and troub
led tossings showed
Tin soul y. t lived within that giant
frame.
And always hope revived, through
the long night.

At la t tlie vigil ends! the morning j

Thy faithful children who have
mourned for thee,
A- d have love ,1 only Freed on more

Throw off tie drains, know their |

>VII\T IS MOR.1I.ITV?
In tracing the history of society
flown from the trilial system to our
present Capitalist -late, we find the |
people guided and controlled by
laws, seme o' which were written
some founded upon custom, and still
others framed upon religious teach
ings. in all those difierm.t period
we find that the demiea-t .lass, in
.nil period, not only framed the
statute laws, but also molded the
customs ttitl aid down the code ol
morality . >r the people to follow.
\\V also find those laws were al
ways designed to govern tiie whole
pe->pli for the selfi 1-. hit -rests of
the ruling class, regardless of
whether these rul"s wete for the
betterment pr fc.r the harm of the
rest of society.
AH clown through the ages, his
tory -hows its a serie. of class con
flicts based upon the struggle for
tii ■ wealth created by those who
work. Codes of morality arc al
ways built to protect the luling
class in their possession of i roperty,
which they have wrung from the
sweat and blood of the working
i lass. When the worker ask for
justice, he finds the statute law. a
two-edged sworcl turned against
him. It has been made by the rul
ing class to govern him. and to pro
tect the robber from the robbed.
He turns to his religion and his re
ligious teacher, for comfort. He
finds that the wealthy and powerful
are influential in the church and
that the supposed follower of the
lowly Nazarene stands as the priests
did nineteen hundred years ago,
upon the side of the rich and power
ful and against the working class,
with vTtcin Christ worked and
whom fie ought to uplift The mi
nister says to the worker, “He
meek and humble. Bear your
burdens. Be content with the skim
milk here. The cream hall lie1
given you after you die." It will
lit a terrible misfortune to the
corking nan. if that tame minister
happens to he helping to manage
th « affairs of the "world to c ome.”
He will still he promising the work

Tiling, are not worse than they
were when you were little. They
only seem so. It they have changed
in any essential respect, it has more
likely been a change lor the better.
The misleading thing is that when
you were a child your elders talked
to you so much about goodness and
virtue and unseldshnes you natur
ulh assumed the world to be full
of those admirable qualities, and
that the older one grew the easier
it was to find the right path and
follow it.
In a word, your elders imposed
upon you. The y let you believe
that the wt rst things in the world
were bad little boys and bad little
gill , and that nearly every bod;.'
stopped telling lies and being selfish
after they reached a certain age.
Yen thought that a man who was
so kind and looked so wise as the
doctor must always know what he
wa. talking about; that judges who
could wear such majestic gowns
must he the same perspicacious im
partiality. and that teachers could
not he so impatient without having
a great deal of intelligence to back
I it ui>.
And then you grew up to find j
! tliut all. those people are just peo
ple, and that all the wise men are!
m books, whereupon you did not j
,-top io analyze the matter, but just j
jumped to the conclusion that the |
work! is deteriorating. On the;
contrary.

Elihu Koot urges all lawyers to
join hands. The scheme is not feas
able for two reasons. First, because
the lawyers would have to take
their hand, out of the other peo
ple's pockets and second, because
it wculd require real labor to de
lermire whether each lawyer had
his own fingers at the close of the
operation.
The men who 1 ibor spend their
strength in tlie daily struggle for
bread to maintain the strength they
struggle with So they live in a
deadly circulation of sorrow, liv
ing but to work and working but
to live, a if daily bread vere the
only end of wearisome life and
wearisome lif" tlie only occasion of
daily bread.
The rich have hitherto only count
ed their gain, but the day is coming
when the poor also will count their
loss, with political results hitherto
unparalleled.
The best way I have ever found
to fight an opposing faction is to
ke p doing something to capitali-m.
Never let sun set upon the day,
or the stars fade from the night in
which you do not do something to
ov; rthrow wage slavery.
