If it is, then let us frankly face the fact that somehow it must pay for its human discards and not selfishly shuffle ; the cost of their keep upon the community at large If it is; if its great objective is always to be the enrich- tment of the fittest or luckiest few, then let’s promptly tax these favored few to provide humane places of refuge for the old men and old women whom their greed has squeezed conception made them All over the land great and rich corporations are enact ; ing age limit rules, based on the belief that workers over 40 to 45 aren't good fatteners of dividends. They demand the right to take their pick in the prime period for exploitation q If this right is to be conceded; if this policy of efficiency ia to be recognized and allowed as best for the men who run the business, then in common justice let's make them pay for the privilege and pay roundly—pay so well that no human cast-off who has given the best years of his life to the 5, ppt row OoaT Stuew a SUIT 400K AT Aik Trae AIOURES ae Ay OVER OAR pre r won ry of enrichment of others shall, in his old age, be left stranded and hopeless, a worse victim of others’ greed than were the 3 red negroes during slavery times—who, being property, at least got food, clothing, shelter and as much care as was given to other animals. But of course such “business” isn’t business at all; it's simply a conventional form of piracy Real business is human service! the service of the many rather than the few. And its profit is in welfare rather than in selfish wealth. When we once get through our heads this finer concep- tion of business there won't be any Robert Mooneys jump- ing into the lake; they'll be too busy serving their brethren. PERCHANCE MR. MURPHY, formerly polit! : and Mr. Murphy, formerty baseball boss of Chicago, might get together and adopt resolutions of mutual self-esteem and confidence without in- @reasing the general discontent of the world. s “SHOOT ME while I'm happy,” sald Waco, Tex, youth to girl Now he’s in the hospital with a bullet In his ull.

Matthews, in a public letter to the charter commissioners, “would be such a backward Step that this city would not recover from it for years to come. The old ward system was expensive, dangerous and corrupting. The ward systems of Chicago and New York are disgraceful and make a blot on the page of American} Municipalities, and yet our board of freeholders, afflicted with managerial-phobia, seems to want us to return to a i system which would again inaugurate putrifying ward politics.” : Dr. Matthews is right } F Who that has ever heard of Hinky Dink and Bathhouse| "Seg the Chicago aldermen, and their disgraceful, debauch ing and brazen control of their wards, will not agree with Dr. Matthews? Who will say that such political blackmailers as these two are could ever be elected as aldermen if the whole city of Chicago could vote upon them? But it is not necessary to go to Chicago and New York q to prove the “putrifying” character of ward politics. We have had the brown taste of it in Seattle till we could bear it no longer. a We have had our experiences with the tin-horn ward heelers. j We broke up their control when we adopted the plan to elect councilmen from the city at large.
