The man who greases car track
switches for a living climbs wearily
on the owl car at one something a. m.
"My, but I'm tired," he said to the
conductor. "I wish I hid your job—
it must be grand just to ride while
you work all day, instead of tramp,
tramp, tramp through the mud and
.wind and rain."
The conductor went home and went
-to bed. In the morning he took his
•wages to the bank and put them away
against the time of bills. He looked
enviously at the receiving teller. "I
wish I had your job," he said to him.
"'Just taking in money all day long
and always being warm, and never
having to move around and all—it
must be grand."
The paying teller went in to see
the bank president about noon, to ask
him for a raise. He didn't say so
aloud, but he thought to himself, "I
wish I had his job. Pretty soft. Sits
around behind a mahogany desk and
says 'yes' and 'no'" and draws down
twenty-five thousand dollars a year.

The bank president sat up late that
night worrying about some loans and
struggling with some bask problems,
in which he had to straddle his de
positors, his customers and his stock
holders, and do the maximum best
for all. In the middle of his cogita
tions a burglar came in, helped him
self to the silver and kept the bank
president quiet with a gun. When he
had gone the banker sighed with re
lief. "Now, that," he said, "is an
ideal1 job. No responsibility to any
one but himself—no real labor, and

excitement—why am I not a bur

The burglar went out with his ill
gotten gains and worried himself sick
over getting caught. There was ten
years in jail if he did. The spoons
wouldn't net over twenty dollars when
they were melted down. People sat

agree with the recommendations of
Mr. Justice Brandeis in order to agree
with his striking declarations that the
present order of things is in a terri
ble state of disorder and inefficiency.
Brandeis spoke out, in the course
of a court decision, pointing to the
conflict between law and natural de
velopment, bitterly slashing away at
the social injustice of our time and
declaring that perhaps more regula
tion of corporate conduct is required.
Great wealth and corporate power
have wrought enormous abuses. The
learned justice levied his arraignment
well and labor will agree. It will
agree also that there is danger un
less there is remedy.

Old forms are breaking away to
make way for tomorrow. Whether
the tomorrow is to be brighter and
more cheerful than today depends
entirely upon the intelligence of the
great masses of our citizenship. Will
they use the opportunity afforded
them in the coming election and make
a complete change in our government
or will they allow the same forces of
reaction that helped to enslave them
and brought about this depression, to
continue in office and to shape the
destirfies of the nation? Will our
people allow themselves as in times
past, to be misled by false issues of
cheaper taxes, lower cost of govern
ment, tariff or prohibition, or will
they demand of these representatives
