﻿Race Hatred 
(Your leaven is a dud, my lords) 

America was discovered by a foreigner. American government was founded by foreigners (if King George was a citizen, I don’t remember it). Many foreigners selected U. S. A. their birthplace. Revolutionary war was fought by foreigners and native sons, side by side. 
Other foreigners discovered America––these include Paderewski, Jenny Lind, Steinmetz and Mikko Maki. 
America was built by foreigners. 
America is now kept from tumbling by foreigners? 
Our very president spent much of his life between England, China and Down ‘n’ Under. If custom crystalizes absence into fact, he is a foreigner.  
America did not produce Charlie Chaplin, Sikorski, Fokker, Faversham or Greta Garbo––now Dies-Fish wants to deport the foreigners. 
O. K. Fish, clean up Washington first––then start in on Park Ave. and Gold Coast.  
The rest will follow.  
But Fish, for the good of your children, you better put a ban on our globetrotting future presidents. How can we get the deportation idea out of the Fish-Dies head? 
That is easy. “Foreigners will hereafter trade only with their own nationality––or go without.” 
If the so-called foreigners (who have adopted this country for better or worse) do this, Mr. Fish and Mr. Dies (if he is a mister) will “spika da engliskaa” like a son of sunny Scicily, or dragoon from Warsaw, and May Co. will change its name to Straus. 
Our statesmen “can’t see eye to eye,” 
Tis nough to make a person cry; 
For if their vision is too small 
I doubt if they can see at all. 
Rebellion begins where the dirt is, foreign or native. Remove the dirt and you remove the cause. If you deport anything let it be injustice. 
Race-hatred is a dud in any country predominantly foreign––where all are offenders––tarred by the same duster and, more specifically, because in this hoss-race virtue is running seven to one favorite or vice. The sponsors of race-hatred, the spongers, feel their special privileges slipping and race-hatred is the last straw they grab before sinking to the lower levels. Their madness today takes the form of tomato-soup––also pea-soup––innocuous without previous condition of poisoning. 
Evosolutionary changes shall in time make membership in United States Chamber of Commerce an offense punishable under criminal syndicalism laws. 
Crossing the tracks is like crossing a woman––you may get run over. 
We are not telling at this time of many and dastardly stunts being pulled by capitalism to force you to say “papa”––and which in the end will force you to organize a one big union for self-protection and to save your hide. We could though tell of the many bloodcurdling schemes already in operation, were it not for the fact the telling of them, at this time, cuts two ways. Therefore, we shall ensconse these grewsome tales in detail behind our weather car, trust you to protect yourself and trust capitalism to drive you to shelter. Indeed, from now on, we shall confine ourself to telling you what the I. W. W. is, what it was and what can be expected from it. 

A Gentle Stranger (not strangler) 
Charity itself is a rarity; its many substitutions range within second-handed justice, display and restitution––not that those are not praiseworthy endeavors. We cannot be sure that charity exists in view of the many injustices practiced under the eyes of “easy going” society. We only know charity is possible. The refusal of society to exterminate the victims of an unjust economic system by starvation cannot be considered either mercy or charity, but a duty. 
The bright boys down in Washington cut loose with $350,000,000 (350 million dollars) to stave-off the grim reaper for 35,000,000 (35 million) people. as at present. 
That is equivalent to one hundred dollars per person, if they get it––which same they won’t. 
One hundred dollars, at the very lowest upkeep cost consonant with maintenance of strength, will keep a man for 175-twentyfive-fiftyseventh days, homeless, ragless––or ragged, to be more explicit––the rest of the year he must find, beg, steal or starve.
