UNCLE SAM AND
BROTHER JONATHAN.
Brother Jonathan—However much
you may think of your Socialism, I
don't think much of it.
Uncle Sam —That certainly is a
great misfortune.
B. J.—Socalism is not humane
diough.
U. S—Wihat is humane enough?
B. J.—Communism.
U. S.—How do you make that out?
B. J.—Isn’t tlie motto of Socialism
"To each according to nis deed's?”
U. S.—Say it is.
B. J.—Will, Communism’s motto is,
'To each according to his own deeds.”
1 call that infinitely more humane.
U. S.—Apart from the relative hu
maness of the two mottoes, I would
say that you are wasting your love
on phrases of no practical importance.
B. J.—Isn’t it practical whether the
movement one associates with is a
harsh or a kind one?
U. S.—True enough. But all that
has no application to the case. It is
not a question of willingness or un
willingness to be kind; the question is
one of power to be kind. See here.
If you have five children, all equal
strong, healthy, and intelligent, and
the smallest amount a human being
can get along well with is one dollar
a day, and all that you make, all that
you can make, is two dollars a day,
would you, with these two dollars a
day income, furnish one dollar a day
apiece to your five children?
B. J.—no.
U. S.—You may be short three dol
lars a day, even if you could get along
with nothing.
B. J.—Couldn’t do it.
U. S.—Could you justly he said to be
harsh, inhumane and all that because
you do not provide for pour children
"to each according to his needs?”
it. .1.—Why, no; if I can’t, 1 can't.
U. S.—Just so. Now, suppose again,
you have five children, four of them
healthy, strong, intelligent. One dol
lar apiece is needed toy them; and a
fifth child, that is a cripple and sickly,
, and he, to be kept at all comfortable,
would need five dollars, while your in
i come was seven dollars a day. What
would you do then?
B. J.—I still won’t go round.
U. S.—CouW you afford the crippled
child five dollars a day?
B. J.—That would leave only two
for the other four, not counting my
self. No, X hardly could. %
U. S.—You would let the well ones
have less than one dollar, so as to af
ford the cripple a little more, but yet
he fould not be treated ‘according to
his needs," eh?
B. J.-—No-, but that would not be my
fault. I could not do better.
U. S.—-Now, let us suppose a third
case: you have five children, all five
healthy, robust, intelligent; three dol
lars a day is needed to keep them up;
your income is one hundred dollars a
day- ,
B. J.—How much?
IT. S.—One hundred a day.
B. J.—I wish it were fifty; I wish
it were twenty five; I wish
U S.—Never mind what you wish;
it Is only an Illustration. With that
amount of revenue would you keep
your children down to an expenditure
that is “according to their needs?”
B. J.—No I’d let them have more.
tT. S.—Just so; and why?
B. J.—Because I could afford It
U. S.—Now, that’s all that there is *
in these mottoes. It is not a case of
humaneness in the one nor harshness
in the other. The one which you call
"humane" proceeds from and toward
an inspiration, regardless of the ma- •
terial power to carry It out; the other,
which you call ’'harsh,” proceeds from
the material powers, and accomodates
I its aspirations to the capacity to reach
them. Do you understand?
B. J.—I—I—think I do.
U. S.—Today the issue between the <
two mottoes is a volcano burned out. j
It Is known that the wealth producible
today is so large that each can have
enormously more than his needs. The
mechanical development of production i
has thus removed the basic difference
of the two mottoes. In so far as the
one represented “Communism” and
the other“Socialism,” the two are one :
today. Your objection is a back num
ber. i

THE END OF A
HOOVER DAY
(Sung to the tune of
“When you ain’t got no monej
you needn’t come a’round,” or “A
perfect day.”)
I have come to the end of a meat
less day.
And peacefully lying In bod,
My thoughts revert in a musng
way
To the rood which I’ve been fed.
When I think of the cheese and the
beans and the fish
And the Oysters I’ve had to eat,
I've no regrets for the “good old
days”
A Distinction.
“So the bank Teller has disapper
ed. Was he short of cash?”
“No, he was ahead. It was the
bank that was short.”
Biffs—“Say. Batts, what part of
speech is woman.”
Batts—"No part of speech; she’s
all of it.”

THE WORKER.
T really didn’t miss the meat.
I’ve come to the end of a wheat
less day,
I've eaten no cookies or pie,
I have had no bread that was made
with wheat;
It was made out of corn or rye.
And I liked it so well, that when
war is past
And a glorius victory won,
I’ll keep on observing “wheatless”
days,
And I’ll eat “corn pone" for fun!

First thing we know we’re going to have a Bone Dry country
out and out. Already the mighty pi ohibitiou wave is engulfing
“demon rum" and the flood gates of righteous antagonism against
John Barleycorn is going to sweep him into everlasting oblivion.
Thousands of men in the country over are going to shortly find it
imimssihle to get their daily, most of them their hourly “nips"
and those fellows are going to look up the best bottled drink they
can get to wet their whistles with. They are not going to “get
off” booze, and drink any pink “tea slop” Oh no—they wunt
something with a delightful relish—a sparkle and a zest and the
AK8ALA drink is going to fill the bill to a T-Y-T. Wets every
spot in the internal arid district, soaks it down good. No dust
left in your throat after a bottle of AKSAM For sale every
where.
