UNCLE SAM AND
BROTHER JONATHAN
UNCLE SAM—Wfliat’t that you're
scratching1 the back of your ear over
as you read?
BROTHER JONATHAN—I got a
paper here—a manufacturer’s paper -
and l was reading an article in that
paper—
|\S.—And scratching the back of
your ear over it?
B. J.—Yes, I was thinking while
reading the article what a perverse
lot the working people are—
r. S.—For doing what?
B. J,—-Ear q\jarre\«ng with capital.
U. S. —Do they?
B. J. Here is nature bringing about
the conditions that bind Labor and
Capital in fraternal bonds, and yet
Labor sunders the bonds, so that
Labor and Ctv.pl-al quarrel like cats
and dogs
U, S.— When they ought to coo like
turtle doves?
B. J.—I don’t know about cooing.
At any rate they ought to get along
together. If two men depend upon
each other are they not fools to tight?
U. S.—1 should say so.
B. J.—I say so to. Without La
bor Capital can earn nothing, with
out Capital Labor can earn nothing—■
r S.—(putting both hands to his
ears)—AVI 1 at was that. Please say that
again.
B. J. —(holds up copy ol* paper) T
shall read you the passage.
lr. S.—Let her rip.
B J.—(reading) '’The two commer
cial powers of the world are Labor
iind Capital. Without Labor Capital
can earn nothing. Without Capital
Libor can find no opportunity to
earn." That’s the passage I was at
when you came up to me. There
you have it.
U. S.—To iny ntind that passage
is a justification of the quarrel that
Labor has with Capital.
15. J.—That takes my time!
U. S.—What do you understand by
"Capital” in that sentence?
15. J.—I understand by "Capital”—
yes—-I—understand— "Capital”. is—
why, yes—"Capital”—
U. S.—Yes, "Capital”, what do yon
understand by the wo id in that sen
tence ?
15. J.—(taking a new start) I un
derstand by "Capital”—Will, now what
do you understand by it?
C. S.—It intiy mean one of two
things, and it may mean both.
15. .1—That’s what confused me.
C S.—It may mean the machinery
of production.
It. J.—That’s just it—the machinery
cf production.
C. S.—Without irmichinery could l. e
machinery of production be set in mo
tion ?
B. J.—No.
C. S.—Consequently, without Labor
Capital is dead matter
15. J.—That'S good.
!’. S.—Without the machinery of
production Could Libor do anything?
15. J.—No.
U. S.—Tthere is where you are oft’!
B. J.—I am! Am I?
C. s.—Who made the machinery of
production ?
15. J.—Why—thats so—Libor!
1 . S.—Consequently, Labor was
there before the machinery of produc
tion, and Labor could produce with
out that
15. .1.—Then that sentence is all non
seai'ce!
f, s,—Let’ see. Wfc: handled “Capi
tal" in one sence. But “Capitlil” may
have another meaning.
15. .1.—That’s so.
II. K.—It may mean the owner of
the machinery of production. Catch
that?
B. J.—1 think I do.
IT. S.—Without Labor could th,
owner of the machinery of production
earn anything?
15. J.- Not a thing!

U. S.—Without the consent of the
owner ctf the machinery of production
could Labor earn its salt?
B. J.—(slowly) Guess not.
U. S.—Indeed not! If things wete
still the way they once were, then
the present machinery of production
would not l>e there. But the present
machinery of production is t ere.
Without it nothing' can be done. La
bor produced it. But Labor cannot
earn its living without the owners of
the machinery giving their consent.
'How would you like it if you pro
duced a thing that you needed and
someone else took it away from you,
and then coolly told you that without
him you could find no opportunity to
earn?
B. J.—I would not like it at all.
U. S.—And would you put up with
it?
B. J.—No, I would fight.
I'. S.—That’s just what Labor is do
ing It Is fighting the plundering

BERNARD SHAW ON
AMERICAN POVERTY
Bernard Shaw, in a letter to Judge
Henry Neil on the duty of the State
toward the child, dealt with the broad
er aspects of the subject in character
istic style as follows:
' “Child poverty is the only soi-t of
poverty that matters. The adult who
has beem poor as a child will never
get the chill of poverty out of his
bones: but he will make room for a
beter-nourished generation.
"There are no doubt property owners
in America who tell Judge Henry Nell
that It is confiscation to tax one man’s
property to pay for the education of
another man’s child. We have scound
rels of that sort in England, too. Some
day they will perhaps have the oppor
tunity of saying it to a higher judge
than Henry Neil. He will send them
to the place he reserves for those who
have learned to say ‘Our Father,’ but
have not learned to say ’Our Children,”
The one without the other is a blas
phemy. Also it is unbusinesslike folly.
Neglected children cost more than
well-nourished ones to everybody ex
cept their immediate parents.
"The principal business of a police
man at present is to prevent hungry
children from obtaining food. The
proper primary business of a police
man is to seize every hungry child and
feed it, to collar every ragged child and
clothe it, to hand every' illiterate child
over all those who will teach it how
to read and write.
"If America cannot see this, there is
no future for America. And it is be
cause she has been slow to see this,
that so much of her past is shameful
and so much of her present miserable.
