MACHINE «. POWER !
<' cVKHVONH knows the meaning of "machine power," the great, mighty,
g moving force of to-dny. (front governments are great machines. The
j| great political parties, when thoroughly organized, are simply huge machines.
$ Our large commercial an<l industrial concerns are machines; so are the great

The following is from the ora- \
tion of the late John James In-
galls delivered at the grave of i
Congressman James N. Humes:
"In the democracy of the dead
all men arc equal. This is neither
rank nor station nor prerogative
in the republic of the grave. At
this fatal threshold the philoso-
pher ceases to be wise and the
song of the poet is silent. Dives
relinquishes his millions and La-
zarus his rags. The poor man is
rich as the richest, and the rich
as poor as the pauper. The cre-
ditor loses his usury and the deb-
tor is acquitted of his obligation.
There the proud man surrenders
his dignities, the politician his
honors, the worldling his plea-
sures; the invalid needs no physi-
cian and the laborer rests from
unrequited toil. Here at last is
nature's final decree in equity.
The wrongs of time are redressed,
injustice is explained, the irony
of fate is refuted, the unequal
distribution of wealth, honor, ca-
pacity, pleasure and opportunity,
which makes life so cruel and in-
explicable a tragedy ceases in
the realm of death. The strong-
est there has no supremacy and
iIh* weakest needs no defense.
The mighty captain succumbs to
the invincible adversary who dis-
arms alike the victor and the
vanquished."
