Jacob H. Schiff, Rev. Rufus P. Johnston, Rev. E. S. Holloway and several other well-known citizens have visited the Court since the book was opened, but unfortunately their entries are so mixed with personal compliment as to make reproduction here inappropriate. Arguments on behalf of the Court from those officially interested in its success are not needed when its ordinary sessions call forth such commendations from representative men. _What Buzz-Saw Morgan Thinks_ BY W. S. MORGAN Much of our modern civilization is nothing more than refined savagery. The yellow metal kills more people than the yellow fever. Harmony is simply stopping the wheels of progress to get rid of the noise. Saying that a thing is settled does not settle it. All old party roads lead workingmen to roam. Shall our financial system be American or British? Don’t surrender until you see the size of the enemy—and then don’t surrender. A man must open his eyes in order to see even as bright an object as the sun. Corruption in the best form of government makes it the worst of all. The trusts owe their existence to yellow-dog politics. With the control of the currency turned over to the bankers, it will be in order to allow the hawks to feed the chickens. The independent vote is a nightmare to the yellow-dog politician. The Beef Trust is living in constant defiance of the law. It is a greater menace to the rights of the people than a thousand highwaymen. Democratic statesmanship has gone to seed, and the seed has germinated into a howl. Jefferson and Jackson placed the mark of Cain on bank money, and the bankers have never been able to remove it.
