Gentlemen of the republic, we ha ome pre ns on hand. They are social and economic ns. They MUST be solved, or civilization goes down But One Way Out of It charges for service by the public vately owned, the sellers— or Whe must 1 —the buyers. Human nature Is just to the will neither can be wholly such that other. Either capital will exploit the people, or the people exploit capital In the end there fs buat one just solution of the problem, and me. that is to make seller and buyer one and the That's public ownership. An astonishing mass of matter, mostly wild romance, has deen printed about John Deitz, But this Cameron dam pancing ver have gone to such lengths if there had not been a real could n and compelling cause. At the bottom of ft all is that very human and elemental bias that most of us have In favor of the “outlaw.” Secretly or other wise, we are all very prone to “pull” for the success of the lone man who dares to defy the dictates of them that are in authority That is, of course, if we don't happen to be in authority our selves. This bias is as old as human society of Prometheus, who stole the life-civing f of Olympus, and wouldn't say he was fling defiance in the teeth of J chained to the bleak cliffs of the Caucasus with buzzards ing at his vitals. The age-long experience of man has taught him how easy it is for them in authority to abuse that authority. Authority, whether arrogated or delegated, always carries with it the temptation to play the tyrant. Nero with his fawning senators; the modern industrial monopoly with ITS fawning senators—both feel the urge of this same temptation. a far cry to from Nero to the Chippewa Lumber & Boom Both It's as old as the story from the selfish gods who «till dared to company, nevertheless they have this much in common have abused their power. And it’s a farther cry from Prometheus to John Delta, yet they, too, have something in common. Both have felt the pres sure of the abuse of power This abuse of power has made popular heroes of most of the celebrated outlaws of this world. I a. it as made most of our heroes—-for most of the heroes have been outlaws. Now it has made a popular hero of Jo! Deltz He was the first man to p h if, single handed, against a corporation, uxing primitive and elemental methods of warfare against the refined and jous methods of money power, and using those primitive methods so effectively as to checkmate the efforts of his adversary To have done this Is something. by selfish motives, probabiy was He may have been wrong in the ground he took in his final clash with the authorities, It seems probable that he was. But at least he has given the world a valuw ble object lesson For the battle of Cameron dam was really merely a symbol, It shadows forth the inevitable result of unbridled activity on the part of industrial corporations. It is 4 sample of that lawlessness that Must inevitably follow if “legal lawlessness” is to go on unchecked to its logical conclusion. Deitz may have been actuated A Brotherly Pounding? Edison says the golden rule would settle everything, and he is fa favor of having it enforced by policemen. But the idea of whacking a man over the head to make him live up to the golden rule seems incongruous, doesn't it?
