Uncle Samuel is telling Brother
.Jonathan that:
It is an easy matter for the bald
headed— spineless—parasitic— toothless
--“make—believe—patriotic”—blather
skites to apply the epithet, “pro
German” to those cf military age,
and others who don't and won't
swallow their dingbusted gibberish,
"especially when some of these self
same skin-deep—try—to— make—be
lieve—patriotic—ginks have placed
thousands of miles between them
selves and the “Front line of
Trenches”.
It is indeed amus'ng to hear
some of the “skin-deep—try—to—make
—believe—patriotic—guys in this lit
tle burg holler,“He’s a pro-Germatt,
and so-and-so is another pro-Ger
man”, when somi of the .self-same
“Patriotic? gazaboes” beat it to
Alaska when th y saw the hand
writing on the wall, that the United
States would enter the European
Bloody Conflict. And we wonder,
why it is that they’ve not returned
to the Staes, s'noe this country
entered tin* War? Maybe it is be
cause they are beyond the military
ago. There is • ething to prevent
those self-lauded “make believes”
from going over to Europe if they
so desire. Hundreds of thousands
of men are needed in the rear of
the battle lines, to assist in the
transportation of supplies, etc., and
its not necessary that they he of
military age either, but—
“To see a hand called patriotic
for no cause.
But that they may catch at
popular applause.
"Guard what you say; the
patriotic tribe?
Will sneer am: charge, you
with a bribe.”
it is very interesting to not* that
one often hears the arguments to
the effect that, the belligerents are
fighting for the “Freedom of the
Seas”. Manhood must have ideals
and evten the most reactionary are
now and then inspired with spirit
ual fervor of a high order. After
which it is in order to remark, that
possibly it may be well to insist
upon “Freedom of the Land” also.
Therm cannot be much complaint
if a person refuses to accept as final
that money is th)a root of all evil.
It is in evidence that some good
and holy men, who are nothing if
not authorities upon the virtues and
the moralities, have quite a leaning
toward the tainted stuff, and for
this reason if no other a person with
some justification may claim that it
cannot be all bad, and certainly no;
the source whence all evil acquire;
Its nutriment.
However this may be, and it in
all a matter of opinion there can be
no doubt that money is the greatest
power right now and at the present
time in vhe world.
The moneyed power of the world
makes and unmakes, declares war
and makes peace, modifies religious
dogma, establishes accepted moral
ity, and enters into almost every
phase of social activity with a force
that is undisputable. Now that force
exists in wealth because of no won
derful metaphysical attribute which
defies explanation. Indeed the ex
planation is so simple that it almost
escapes notice, and the simple fact
that explains all this is that money
and financial power gives those who
control it, control also of the lives
of mankind who must depend upon
it for a living.
Rising from this solid but simple
fact is reared the whole mighty ]
structure of the power of wealth
that seems to overshadow every
thing, good, bad or indifferent, in
human activities. Because some
men have power to Bay how and
when others shall live, control in
other words, the means of their
subsistauce, because money gives
those who have it that control,
therefore has money such an enor
mous power in human society.
Moreover in no phase is the power
of wealth exnibited in so subtle a
manner as when that power is dis
guised. While the people who are
tempted by it are denounced in all
the moods and tenses, the real force
which effected that temptation and
when the tempted one is really the
victim is seldom mentioned.
And just as long as this baleful
influense is ignored, we blame the
poor victims, with unlimited hypo
cricy, while the malefactors are
passed unscathed
A recent writer on Liberty, filled
a whole book on the subject and
then said nothing Very new, finally
epitomizes his ideas in the follow-1
ing: “Mail's freedom consists, in
the right to use his own faculties
and profit by their use, subject to
the equal right of others to do like-;
wise. And it is the important
function of the state to restrain only|
such exercise of his faculties by
man as may injure others.”
That seems fair and square. But
who is to be the judge when the
activities are injurious to the other
fellow—is it to be the other fellow?
Almost all the wrangling that takes
place on the subject is due, to such
a difficult point to decide and
makes a mess of theory when put
into practice. The proposition in
the first place demands that all
will be subjected to the same condi
tions; the ex.-roise of one's faculties
is pefornied under an equality of
condition and opportunity that is
unquestionable. But if you have one
set of people, say the employers and
another set of people employees,
and the exercise of man's faculties
for man's profit therefrom, inevit
ibly 1 ads to all sorts of lack ot
lreedom, inequalities and injustices
without end.
The same sort of gibberish is
heard when one speaks of a fair
day’s work for a fair day’s pay. It
sounds good but it won’t stand an
alysis. The boss’s idea of a fair
day s pay is nine times out of ten
different; to that of the worker, and
the worker’s idea of a fair day’s
work will differ radically from that
of the boss. Society could get
along very nicely just as long as
the workers were educated by
[ schools, teachers, preachers papers,
! courts, and political institutions, to
I believe that the boss's interest was
his interest; but since economic dis
content is taking hold of the masses
of the workers and they are culti
vating their own as contrasted with
I all other interests, they insist upon
j a fair day’s work for a fair day s
j pay, as being just as it is a non
i setisical sliiboleth full of sound and
| fury, signifying nothing.
