Show Herr Most. H So Herr Most is dead. The perturbed soul has H finally burned out the body that held It here. H Years of sorrow, years of crime, years of unbridled H passions, years of hate, years of lawlessness, each H poured their dregs into one cauldron and Herr Most emerged from It soul deformed from birth; an Ishmaolite among men, a hater of order, an on-omy on-omy of society, prating of virtues which his own life repudiated from the cradle; a hyprocrate in H word and action; the parrot of a vocabulary which ho never comprehended; the stimulator of emo- $9 tions which ho never felt; prating of the wrongs M of the poor, but living all his life on. unearned H bread; what of 'nt'ellect he possessed using for JH absulutely selfish purposes; one of those men- H tally dofromed creatures who would have para- H phrased Milton's sublime invocation and made H it read this way: Q "What In me is dark, H Make darker; what Is low, make lower; IH That to tho depth of all my passions fierce H I may assort eternal vengeful hate H And justify my rage at God and man."
