DEFENDERSOF FREEDOM
Thedefenders of freedom are not^those who claim and exercise rights^which no one assails, or win shouts^of applause by well turned compli^^ments to liberty in the days of her^triumph. They are those who stand^up for rights which capitalists put in^jeopardy. To the Socialists this^honor belongs. The Socialists are^defending the right of free speach^when their right to speak on the^streets of American cities is assailed^bv the arrest of their speakers.^But it is not alone upon the streets^that the right of free speach is be^^ing attacked, it is attacked when food^is taken from the mouths of them^^selves and their families by the^owners of the tools of production^who refuse them the opportunity to^use those tools to produce wealth.^In this age of capitalism no one is^permitted to expose the rottenness^of this criminal system without be^^ing brought to the brink of starva^^tion. And the fastly vanishing^middle class,' the merchants, law^^yers, preachers and the secondary^leeches of society, are those who^fight the fiercest those who are^brave enough to battle far the right.^Back of these are the ignorant la^^boring men who vote and fight, in^and out of season, for their natural^enemies and for the perpetuating^of this damnable system which^takes all that is produced by the^worker and gives it to the class^which produces nothing. Before^the civil war the abolitionists, who^fought for the abolishment of Negro^slavery, were confronted by the^same cowardly class. The church,^priests and preachers, lawyers, mer^^chants and landed proprietors hoot^^ed and egged the agitators. Their^press lied and villified them and the^jails were ever open to them. Mobs^of spike tailed gentry stoned them^off the highways. But the abolish-^ionists won, the Negroes were eman^^cipated. Armies marched and^fought for four long years and the^agitators won. And so will Social^^ism win. The Socialists may be^arrested, they may be rotten-egged^and stoned from the highways, the^preachers and priests may coat their^miserable tongues with cowardly^lies and the promise of gold bricks^in the paved streets of the orthodox^heaven, but none of these will avail^against the invincible hosts of So^^cialism, because Socialism is the^next step in human progress. It^is not the silver-tongued corpora^^tion agent who is the defender of^freedom, it is the tireless, poverty^stricken victim of this system of^highway robbery, who fights for the^right, who is the defender of ^free^^dom.
Fighton brothers, go to jail,^starve, turn both cheeks to their lies^and their rotten eggs, but tell the^truth for truth will prevail. Truth^hurts them more and is more last^^ing than cannon shotted from stem^to stern. Truth goes through them^and their theiving system like^x-rays and exposes their inward rot^^tenness. (Jo at them comrades.
Thetheatres will preach Socia^lism long in advance of the church.^The church is the ^conservative^^body. It trails behind to avoid the^danger of battle and when the^battle is won, it cries aloud that
Goddid it, and the church is the^vice-gerent of God on earth, there^^fore, Let your light so shine,^brethren and sisters, the church^needs money to send missionarys^to the heathen.^ Not many moons^will pass away before the great^truths of Socialism shall thrill vast^audiences in the theatres of every^land with peans of praise, while^the priests and preachers are sing^^ing the praises of John I) Rocke^^feller and reaching for tainted^money.
THEONE SIDE AND THE OTHER
Onone side of this great struggle,^which is strung out before us, can^be seen hugh, grasping hogs, mun^^ching and devouring great undigest^^ed hunks of wealth; surrounding^these, with eyes ravenously fixed^upon the feast, are seen as beautiful^a gang of chop-licking hyenas as^ever graced the outskirts of a ban^^quet.
Thefattest hyena wears a cowl,^and in order of ability to master the^crumbs that fall from the hogs'^trough, are the measily aggregation^dubbed the ^business element.^^They had better be called ^crumb^gatherers,^ because they get only^the leavings of the monsters. On^the other side and wan and desperate^in aspect, but aimless in purpose,^yet drawn in the vortex of want and^starvation to a common destiny, are^the great slaving masses; digging,^digging, digging in rhythmic cadence^to the baton of the master hogs and^the chorus of the hyenas.
Theabove dest ribes the two classes,^that is to say: The rich and the^wealth producers. The get it all^and do nothing, as against the do it^all, and get nothing. Ask yourself^and your neighbors, when will the^do it all get all^ and thus do away^with sides, with classes.
Thehouse dog was fat and the^wolf was gaunt and famine-struck.^The wolf said to the dog, ^You are^very fat.^ ^Yes,^ replied the dog.^^i get along very well at home.^^^Well,^ said the wolf, ^could you^take me home^^ ^(), certainly.^^So they trotted along together; but^as thev neared the house,^the wolf caught sight of several ugly^scars on the neck of the dog, and^stopping cried: ^Where did you get^those scars on your neck^ they look^very sore and bloody.^ ^O,^ said^the dog, ^they tie me up at night,^and I have rather an inconvenient^iron collar on my neck.^ ^On the^whole,^ said the wolf, taking the^food and collar together, I much^prefer to remain in the woods.^^Reader, are there any ^housedogs^^in your midst^ And who of you^are ^wolves^^ Think carefully be^^fore speaking.
LawsonShows up Fritz Heinze.
(Continuedfrom page i.)
watch.The contrast between this^brazen grandeur and the cosy, bust^ling office, half the size, in which^Mr. Rogers transacted his great bus^iness was striking. For all the^world this looked like the drawing^room of a deserted road house fit^^ted up for the purpose of pulling off^some bunco game. What slight^hope I had brought in with me^slumped, as I took in the effect.^Then from behind one of the desks^stepped out a blear-eyed speciman,^half quack doctor, half stool pig^^eon for a fake picture auction, and^inquired my business.
Sayto Mr. Heinze Mr. Lawson^wants to see him.
Theinstant he reached the other^side of the ground glass the soundof^a bustle and a murmur reached me.^Then there appeared from the ^F^Augustus Heinze, Private^ door a^nice looking young man who an^^nounced:
Iam Mr. Heinze. What can I^do for you, Mr. Lawson^
Youare not F. A. Heinze^^ I^asked.
Oh,no, I am his brother. Did^you want to see F. Augustus^ Be^seated.^ He disappeared, and in^a moment the hero of a hundred^battles, bars and buncoes threw the^door open.
 ^
Howare you, Lawson^ What^do you want with me^ Come in.
Inmy minds eye was a picture of^this man conjured out of all the
storiesand descriptions I had ever^heard of him, and as he stood be^^fore me I frankly looked him over,^comparing the original with my im^^aginary portrait. He fitted the out^^lines to the edges. Years ago, I^sat in a Boston theater, spellbound^by Milton Noble in ^The Phoenix,^^and the dark, romantic figure of^this actor, the easy elegance of his^dress, his air, half brigand and half^poet, had remained with me as an^ideal of picturesque distinction.^But Heinze, in a loose black suit,^Byronic tie, a soft felt hat rakishly^tilted, both hands buried in the old-^fashioned waistband pockets of his^trousers, left Noble's image and^make-up a melodramatic common^^place. I thought of Mr. John^Hawkins of Calaveras county and^the lordly gamblers of Old Missis^^sippi days as I scanned his points^and noted the elaborate carlessness^of the ensemble. Kvery detail of^the pose, the angle of the hat. the^hang of the trousers, the long dark^eyelashes, concealing the keen^glance of the half closed eyes^the^whole don't-give-a-chew-tobacco-for^anything on earth effect -that was^obviously studied and as trans^^parent as his affectation of ease.^There was little doubt that I had^interrupted a discription of ^how I^wiped the floor with Rogers and^dusted the door mat with the whole^'Standard Oil' gang.
^
1knew as soon as I set eyes on^him that it would be time wasted to^talk to Heinze in the manner I^would use with Rogers or any real^business man. To impress him, ar^^gument needed a flavor of sensation,^and I framed my attack accordingly.^That he hated me I knew, but he^had a profound respect for my^stock manipulation, and word had^often been brought me that Heinze^had said: ^If Lawson would only^take the eastern end of the fight in^connection with my handling of^Montana, we could do up 'Standard^00* for sure.
Heinze,^I said, with no attempt^at preliminaries, ^I will speak my^piece right off the reel, as time is the^most valuable thing in the world^tonight^your time and mine^and^it is up to you and me to do as big^a piece of business as has ever been^done in New York in the same num^^ber of hours. If you let me do the^talking for a while I promise after^^ward to listen to you until you run^down.
First,I understand, as you^know, all about the different attempts^to settle with you and their failures.^I fully realize that you are a hard^customer, and the only way I ex^^pect to land you is by being so fair^and open as to win your confidence;^I will make no promises about not^trying to get the trade after that.^You would not want me to, as it^would show you at the start I did^not appreciate your ability to take^care of yourself, and the man who^does not realize that he is on a fool's^mission when he comes to trade^away your property.
Imeant what I said, for I had^quickly made up my mind that the^only possible chance to succeed^with this overwhelming conceited^trickster in the limited time at our^disposal-before ten the next^morning^was to treat him in the^way one would deal with an honest^and high-principled customer.
^
Iam here Heinze,^ I continued,^^not as the agent of 'Standard Oil,'^or Rogers, but solely for Lawson^and his fiiends and following, and^as one who has won a few pairs of^spurs in just such a fight as you^have on hand. When you have^talked with Rogers or his agents^you have tried to do the best for^Heinze, and they for their side, so^both of you, from the very nature^of things, were compelled to try^blffiung. It is different with me.^You have it in your power to pre^^vent the ruin of me and my friends^between now and 10 o'clock to^^morrow. Therefore, my only in^^terest is to yield you everything^you demand that it is possible for^us to give up. My likes and dislikes^do not enter into the matter in any^way.
ThenI jumped in and showed^him the exact situation, not holding^back or disguising anything; in fact
Ioutlined things to him in a way^that would have dumfounded^Rogers. I told him I was in the^adjoining office during his and^Rogers'interview of that day; that^each time Rogers left it was to con^^sult with me; that we had been^prepared to pay him a full three^millions, but that each time Rogers^came out he was so enraged he^wanted to kick Heinze down stairs,^and that I persuaded him to keep to^the argument. I explained I should^have been just as eager as Rogers^to put boot to him but that for the^policy of it alone I had argued^settlement. I went on and on. He^let me. I never tried harder to^make any one see a thing as I saw-^it than I did that night, and as what^I was showing was the plain truth,^I was eloquently convincing. For^two solid hours I talked like a ma^^chine. All he did was to absorb it.^I could see he was testing each of^my statements. Had I been hold^^ing back, exaggerating or bluffing^in the slightest degree, I should^have slowed down, and tested my^links most carefully, for I saw I had^a sounding board of an unually fine^order, and that he was as alive to^the importance of the subject as I.^^ ^
Intentlyas he listened to what I^said, not a flicker or an eyelash^indicated that I was moving him^from his stand. At intervals, how^^ever, when the talk touched his^personality or pricked his conceit,^he would lose his grip on himself^and betray the overweening, in^^sensate vanity that is his ruling^passion. Then he would jump to^his feet and pace once down the^floor and back, with sharp, fierce^curses. Again and again he mut^^tered:
Thatgray-haired old rep^^robate thought I was a kid; I'll show^him and his gang!^ or ^I'll stand^on the grave of Rogers and Rocke^^feller, the d^ old thieves, before^they're either much older.
Therehung on the wall a small^mirror, and each time he passed it^1 noticed that Heinze halted, and^as his fish-like eyes ran over his^figure, he would twitch his hat into^some new slant or cock, never in^his deepest preoccupation, losing^sight of his treasured pose. My^heart sank as I watched these mani^^festations, yet they were his sole^interruptions, and by the manner^he snatched at the links in my talk^I felt sure he was following every^word. I had been arguing for two^hours when I made my first stop.^I saw I had him on the first section.^I had run the gamut of his tester,^and had won his confidence.
Infantry.
Soniclime supposed that tin- nam*,^infantry was applied to foot soldiers^from the fact of the page bov or un^^der attendant in feudal times being^unmounted, while his lord rode off^to the battle. A far more likely der^^ivation of the term is Been when we^remember that the infante is the of^^ficial term of the heir apparent in^Spain, as the dauphin is in France.^Infantry, therefore, was originall)^a particuliir army of foot soldiers^raised by the infante for the purpose^of rescuing his father, who had been^overpowered in one of the many^contests with the Moors in Spain.^The name finally passed from the^particular to the general use and^was adopted by other countries.
PeriwakFeathers.
Onthe apex of the Prince of^Wales' crown, which he wears on^special occasions, is a curious feath^^er, or, rather, a tuft of periwak^feathers, the top of which is adorned^with a gold thread. This feather is^^aid to be worth ^10,000 and has^the distinction of being the only one^bf its kind in the world. It took^twenty years to procure it, and it^caused (he death of more than a dos-^en hunters. The rea#6n the pursuit^of the periwak is so dangerous is be^^cause it inhabits the jungles and^other haunts of tigers.
Snakesand Eating.
Snakesin menageries often fast^many months. Csses were recorded^at the Paris museum of s rattle^^snake which refused food twenty-^six months and a python which fast-^ad twenty-nine months. But the^record belongs to a Ja panose python^which arrived in Pans in Novem^^ber, 1899. It died in April, 1902,^after having refused food for two^^oars, five months and three days.^Dnring thst time its weight had ae-^oreaeed from seventy-five kilograms^to twenty-seven.
