Now I am your King and my subjects are legion. have derided In times past sages me with disreputable titles. Some have dubbed me as the god of Mammon, others as filthy lucre. Another says he is the root of all evil. I have beheld with twinkling such demieyes of mock derision for a mere gods as these crying touch of this, their root of evil. Where are your champions today? Gone and forgotten. Their last rites were held from the Alms house. Your philosophers have said: "Give me health and a day and we'll make the thrones of empires ridiculous." Your conquerors have said, "give us a son and a day and the world is ours." My dominion is unconditional, arbitrary and despotic. I seek no favors ask no quarter from the gods of Nature. Through the ages I have seen empires crumble beneath the weight I now behold a of my power. weak, trembling world, lost in the doldrums of confusion, fawning at the foot of my throne. I possess no royal blood. Im as human as my subjects who serve me. Capitalism is my impregnable barrier and dearest friend. Him would your feeble humanitarians derogate with stigmas on his illustrious brow. From their lean and lowly station in life they mutter their plaintive wails Mammon of unrighteousness, Vulture of greed." I despise the meek and the poor of the earth, for they are strangers to me. When I was naked and friendless they received me not to their bosoms, neither did they clothe me in fine linen . Now that I am arrayed in diadems of kings, with insignia of heaven and guarded by an army of henchmen, I confess that I never knew thee. O, ye, of empty coffers, of sentimental moods, cursed and despised, depart into the throes of everlasting bondage I Some of your petty politicians allege that I am dross, and would fain purify and debase me on indictment of vacillating weakness. Despite their vain ambitions, I control their elections, dictate to your judges whom I have called to the benches of justice. I can profane your priests, desecrate your altars, buy the virtue of your daughters, the manhood of your sons, and shed the blood of your citizenry. My plans are laid and executed in secret chambers of august councils. Here, in me is vested holy rights which once belonged to man. Truly, I am Master Mahan, the shrine at which the children of men offer their prayers and oblations. My Lords are few, my vassals many, and my only adversaries are the brotherhood of man, and the ghostly form of famin ; my only fear is the vengeance of a just God. FRANK J. EDGEL. IS Tins SUCCESS? Once ncople got their own food by the sweat of their brow from the field, forest and sea. Then the machine was discovered. Presently it was found that a man could own a machine and have other men work it for him. The things that the men made with the machine belonged to the owner of the machine. This naturally led to buying materials and labor as cheaply as possible and the selling of the finished product for the highest beprice possible. The differenceThis tween these prices is profit. has become the chief method of business not only in production but in trade and service. When things are made for use there is every reason to make them they good and serviceable. When are made for profit there is every reason to make them as cheaply as possible, yet to look good and to command the highest price. Railroad trains kill people because they are not run to carry passengers but to make profits. Killing people is cheaper than putting in safety devices. Buildings collapse. Why? Ships sink. Why? Is this SUCCESS? Once man worked for man. Now man works for a corporation. The corporation is not a man, it is a machine an impersonal concern without feeling or conscience. Dedicated to the purpose of making PROFIT, regardless of time or tide, regardless of life or death. Regardless of everything but profit.a As a result of these conditions class struggle has arisen. The struggle consists of the workers of the working trying to get out class and into the capitalist class, and the struggle of the capitalist class. to keep out of the workingcontin-uously With this internal struggle find we cun peace, on, going contentment and joy?
