 Hardly a newspaper printed but it tells the story of some disheartened mortal, hungry and homeless, committing suicide because a master class owns all the jobs and refuses to let him use one.

MURDER?

Don't stop at being horrified at the McNamara case by any means; read up on some of the big slaughters that come off as regular as clock-work.

If the capitalist papers fail to furnish enough murder stories to keep your Wave of Horror in motion, read the history of the civilized and christianized white man.

It beats Blue Beard and the tales of the South Sea cannibals.

Any section of our Christian master class can double-discount the wildest heathen that ever prayed to a wooden god when it comes to butchering humans.

If there is anything that Christian civilization is long on it's the art of murder.

When it comes to savage machines for taking human life, your white man's country has no competitor.

For a record of blood-curdling butchering the "Christian" stands in a class all by himself.

"Christian" England took the Hindoo "rebels" that imagined their own land belonged to them, and loaded them into the mouths of cannon and shot them off, just to show the poor deluded pagans how the pious followers of the gentle Jesus did things.

Over in the Philippine Islands our beloved rulers, instead of blowing a native "rebel" out of the mouth of a cannon, blew his belly full of water till it burst and death ended the awfullest kind of torture.

Did you have any Wave of Horror down your way when this beastly method of murder was going on?
