As the nobles of England wrung their independence from King John, and
as the tradesmen of France broke through the ring of privilege
enclosing the Three Estates; so today the millions who serve society
in arduous labor on the highways, and aloft on the scaffoldings, and
by the sides of the whirring machines, are demanding that they, too,
and their children, shall enjoy all of the blessings that justify and
make beautiful this life.--_Frank Walsh_.
"The toad beneath the harrow knows
Exactly where the tooth-point goes.
The butterfly beside the road
Doth preach contentment to that toad."
"When I came here, it was said that the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
voted every man and woman in their employ without any regard to their
being naturalized or not; and even their mules, it used to be
remarked, were registered if they were fortunate enough to possess
names." _From a letter written by Mr. L. M. Bowers, Chairman of The
Board of Directors of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, to the
Secretary of Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., under date of May 13,
1913._
Master, I've done Thy bidding, wrought in Thy many lands.
Not by my sins wilt Thou judge me, but by the work of my hands.
Master, I've done Thy bidding, and the light is low in the west,
And the long, long shift is over ... Master, I've earned it--Rest.
--_Robert Service_.
It's O! to be a slave
Along with the barbarous Turk,
Where woman has never a soul to save,
If this is Christian work!
--_Thos. Hood_.
While there is a lower class, I am in it.
While there is a criminal element, I am of it.
While there is a soul in jail, I am not free.
--_Eugene V. Debs_.
When Adam delved and Eve span,
Who was then the gentleman?
The vilest deeds, like poison weeds,
Bloom well in prison-air;
It is only what is good in man
That wastes and withers there:
Pale Anguish keeps the heavy gate,
And the Warder is Despair.
--_Oscar Wilde_.
