L J
ONCE there was a little boy who
went to a party. His slater An
nie was invited but she was sick
and couldn't go When the party
was over the lady of the house
gave each little guest a sack of
chocolates The little boy got two.
one for himself and one for his
sister, just alike. On the way
home be stumped his toe, fell
down, and when he fell one of the
paper sacks broke and the choco
lates spilled Into the road. "Poor
Annie!" he said. We are all Ilka
that little boy There la something
In annk A# ? that I
wants more than
half of everything.
If anybody Is go
ing to take a loss,
let It be some one
else! One car will
pass another and
perhaps the driver
of the car being
passed (If he has
no manners) will Dr. Foreman
yell out of the window: "Road
Hog!" As a matter of fact. Isn't
a road bog Just a person who
takes the wide share of the road
you'd like to have yourselfT
? ? ?
Greed Deceit
You might think the little boy in
the story would be less of a grab
ber when he grows up; but he
may be worse by that time. You
might think people could be cured
of being greedy by giving every
body Just exactly the aame; but
there would be any number of
schemers figuring how to get their
share increased. You might think
people could be cured of the grab
habit by letting them have all
they want; but that seldom works,
because some of the greediest
people in history have been peo
ple who had more than any of
their neighbors. The Bible story
of Ahab and the vineyard of Na
both is a case in point It isn't a
story of the poor stealing from
the rich. It Is the story of the rich
stealing from the poor, which aft
er all is a rathef> common occur
rence. The story of Ahab also illus
trates some notable facts about
this thing called Greed. One is
that greed and deceit go hand in
hand. Ahab told some terrific lies,
and got others to do the same, all
because he wanted Naboth's vine
yard. When Hltlei^ was on the
rise, be made the solemn state
ment that all he wanted was the
Uttle area of the Sudentenland;
what be really wanted was all of
Europe, only it would never have
suited his schemes to say so.
When a poor man gets into the
clutches of a loan shark, he is
never told at first what the rate
of interest is. When the St Louis
Post-Dispatch back in 1898 Justly
accused some prominent citizens
of having accepted a quarter of a
million dollars in bribes, of course
those gentlemen denied the whole
thing. Your greedy man?or for
that matter the greedy corpora
tion?all the way from the simple
robber who pretends to be the
night watchman, up to the mon
opoly that overcharges the public
?never likes the light of truth
on the operation.
Greed and Murder
When ? murder has been com
mitted, almost the first question
the police ask is: "Who stands to
make money by this crimeT" Mur
ders about as common in the
coui js in the city. In propor
tion the population What is
the story back of killings In the
farmlands? Very often it is some
quarrel about a boundary Una.
about some stock, about the price
of land or produce. Not all mur
ders are for the sake of gain;
but If a man Is greedy enough, he
will not stop at murder. Peniten
tiaries contain many a "lifer" who
would not be ftere today if he had
not bean n greedy man.
