Show CONCERNING LAWBREAKERS In "The Battle," a play of the millionaire presented at the Ogden Theater last night by Wilton Lackaye, there are some good lines which are well to be remembered by the rich as well as the poor. The character of John J. Haggleton, the multi-millioniare, has many lines which were written by J ohn D. Rockefeller, the oil magnate mag-nate These sayings are clever and to the point, among them is one which is found to be true in every day life. You call us rich men lawbreakers. Take the average citizen and give him an automobile, then watch how quick he breaks the speed limit. What does tho average citizen do in a prohibition district? He gets a drink and breaks the law. The average good woman will pay half fare for her boy, even if he has whiskers, if she can get the conductor to accept it-and she is breaking the law isn't she 7" The words of Haggleton are virtually those of the richest man in the world, and express that which contains a world of truth-there truth-there are lawbreakers in every class. |
