Have you ever stopped to con-1
siricr how much Capitalism resemb-1
I os tin- extinct monsters of pre-1
hislorii times? The similarity is|
•striking in more ways than one.,
hike these huge experiments of
nature, the present .-ystem has all j
of the unwickly bulk and seeming |
invulnerability and, like them, it j
ai.-.o has an inherent unfitness to i
survive. In other words, as has'
been otten pointed out. Capitalism j
contain within itselt the very,
tiling- that mak its continued ex
istence upon this sublunary sphere
impossible. j
Human progress inevitably dooms'
Capital! m to death. World wars
lor world markets, foreign co:i-j
rpiest and domestic terrorism, craft
unions and contracts, political gov- .
ornments and repression, political i
parties and ballots, religion , philo- J
sophies. codes of ethics and all
other component parts ol .ho ma
chine! y of working-class exploita
tion will eventually pas away to
tnr.I:» way for : nor and more "1
vauood iie .ms of managing th" **f
lair., ot the 1 wi n ,':*<■ And all
iIp- • - nr;, of the l:\wytrs. preat hota
soL'lh rs. writers, -poukers. gunm' ii
and :'i i'xs tii the Monster to cave
its life wiil In futile.
Capitalism is fated to become a
. xtinet ns the atlantosaur, and some
• |,, oi ie will wonder how such a
, ri .,:i;rc of its kind could ever have
> xis.i d in this world at all.
Ca, i' .lism i. a hydra with many
]n inis. War is but one of them;
got i i ntnental repression is hut one
• it tin m; religion is one class lutd
th pow r to cut off one of them.
It the working da s had the power
to out off any cue of these heads
it would have the power to kill the
monster outright it is the historic
mission of th" working dais to do
away with the Beat, for there is
no longer room on the earth for
both Capitalism and .lie producing
class.
Irresistablo Progress now de
mands that the workers take pa
s' sion of tin* world and all that is
in it. The Beast stands in tin' way
of further advancement That i
■ t reasot tin ! ri ■"■. just
as the aUa’itosatir v. ".a > make
way for a form of life nu re fitted
to survive. And. in this struggle
for final urvivui. tin* odds are all
i a tlic side ot the workers of the
world, for they are 'lie producers
of ali thatt ho world needs fir its
i 'ji.ii'rrt aa.d health. Capitalism,
on the contrary, lias become pur ly
parasitical, and Progre s will pe
nalise social parasitism with social
| extinction.
Just as the atlantosaur rii-ap
pearetl when changed conditions
made it impossible for him to get
his su tenant e, so will the Para
sites of Industry disappear when
the workers organize to keep Cap
italism from feeding on their fie h.
Capitalism is doomed. Kven now
tiic slimy Thing is old. decrepit and
malignant. Its drooling and venom
ous fangs are hared hopelessly at
the whole world. Hut it is still
dangerous and its scarred paunch
is swollen with the life-substance
of millions of men, women and
children. With all of its waning!
power it is struggling to prolong
its existence in a world that needs
it no longer.
It will continue to live just as
long as the black blood of "profits"
continues its course in its harden
ing arteiies.
And the workers, and the vork
ers ALONh. will give to this Night
mare of the Ages its final coup de
, grace. They w ill do this either by
tearing open these arteries with
the talons ot sabotage or piercing
its rotten heart with the Sigurd
blade of Indu trial Solidarity.
But the Beast must perish. Kis

I.VWS \ NT > <011151 TITOV
—
It is wonderful what insigh* into
j tli" affairs of state the ancients had
n their civilization which existed
two thorsand year. ago. and what
a striking analogy there is betwet n
the conditions as they then existed.
For instance, Tacitus, the ancient
Reman, was prompted to make this
observation:
‘When the -tate is most corrupt,
th. n laws are most multiplied."
How strikingly this applies to
conditions under capitalism here in
the United States today! The laws
ar< multiplying so rapidly that the
volumes containing them have to
be estimated by the ton and no
mortal on earth can possibly keep
track of them. The national con
gr<ss and all the states of the
union are grinding out "laws”
with a ten thousand mule power
capacity, and all the time the na
tion is stewing in such political
vilene. s and social corruption that
iO words <an describe it.
I rivate ownership of the means
of life was the curse today. Laws
and corruption go hand in hand
and indeed Taws are made to le
galize and protect corruption, in
stead of extriputing it. in all na
tion where privilege is in powet
and the people are it slaverv.
NOT ONK ON KARTH.
‘ Xo man is bom boob d and
. i:jii rred 10 rid*' another dri lled and!
[.addled.” >
This ought to he emblazoned on j
the "flaming walls of the uni
verse". .
No man, it he were a god. is
good enough to govern another
I ns a bea t ir ridden.
•Lincoln put in this whV: "Xo
I man is good enough to govern an
other without that other's consent.
Tlie man eats his bread out of
the -weat of another man’s brow is
guilty of robbery no matter to j
what extent the act may be legal- i
ized by government or sanctified |
by government or sanctified by re
ligion.
The prevailing capitalist system
produces those who are bern
booted and spurred to ride others
bridled and saddled through t lie
world .
Vincent Astor, at twenty-one
years of age, came in possession by
inheritance of sixty million dollars
of which he had never earned a
per.ny and which he had all been
filched from those who produced it
in the most approved way that pi
racy was over legalized ir all the
history of mankind.
Arise, ye bridled and saddled
nesses and .-hake the booted and
! spurred leeches from your backs!

SACKED.
Everywhere we arc taught Hint
"life is sacred,” that 'liberty is
sacred," that ‘property is sacred,"
—hut where are we taught that
HAPPINESS is sacred; and yet it
is only becr.u e of their relation to
happiness that these other things
have a trace of sacred ness.
Only one man in 10,000 is sell
supporting at the age of 70 years.
In the United Slates there are ap
proximately 1,250,000 former wage
■ earners dependent on public, and
| private charity, at a co t of $220,
I 000,000 a year. There are about
.1.000,000 old people in benevolent ;
institutions and homes in this
country. It costs about $50,000,-j
OtiO a year to care for them. This
is a fine record for capitalism.
When the masters wear out
tool they are cast on the dump j
heap. Under Socialism, the old ;
would be provided for without i
stigma of charity.
The capitalist is in favor of peace
in spots.
There would tie no war if rich
men were tUo soldiers.
Under capitalism the nation that
leads in indu-try leads in war.
When the prosecution cannot
buy the lawyer tor the defense, he (
is indicted.
The first prison idea was a cave
—the first prisoner a slave1—the
first crime a break for liberty.
Pome people’s idea is sound ar
gument is all sound, and it is not
sound because it is sound.
