Tho worker w a moth, fllittering around tin- candle of Capitalism. - * • To have or to have not? That is the problem lor the toilers to decide. » * • Work is good. We want to give the capitalist a chance to enjoy a little goodness. • « Ho active to-day. Yesterday is gone for ever and to-inun'ow may never come. The "dignity of toil" is a name given to l,n.l>or by those who don't want any of the""dignity." - » • \'irtue and honor are marketable eoiniuoditie,-, under Capitalism.

And the mighty wrong shall fall. • * • The best way to stop being kicked is to kick back. Human eussedness is the outcome of cussed conditions. • » » I'asoallty is condoned when conducted uoon a large scale. » • * A rhief is only a thief when lie thieves upon the instalment plan.
