THE Bhh: OMAHA, AlUN DAI, Ul L'UhfeK J8, luiil. WAy are the very rich growing richer? Why are the very poor growing poorer? Why are littlo children compelled to work whilo thousands of able-bodied men are idle? Why do millions go half nourished when the land is full of plenty? Why does Ihe cost of living steadily mount, whilo the nation produces a surplus every year aver aging two billion dollars? Every man in America who works is entitled to aVage suf ficient to raise his family in decent conditions, to educate hie chlldron in the common schools, and to lay by some thing for old ago. Why Is It impossible for hun dreds of thousands of men to do this? You hear these questions constantly, and you hear all kinds of answers. What 1b your answer? Mr. Lawson knows why the cost of living is mounting. Why the rich are growing richer. Why wealth is unfairly distributed. Why there is so much misery. He tells you why in this number, arid how to stop it. Eight years ago he tried to toll you, and you saw some of the superficial crimes and started to oorrect them, but you would not wait to see the real cause of crime. Eight years ago Mr. Lawson spent at least two million dol lars trying to gel your atten tentlon and Interest to the big crime. Many of you were interested and willing and patient, but most of you were merely en tertained by his disclosures, and when the hour for work c.me, you turned your backs. Now Mr. Lawson is at it again ready this time to go the limit. Ready to show you Just what the trouble Is, just how It Ib brought about, just how it can be stopped, and ready to spend and be spent to the limit of his strength and his resources. And EVERYBODY'S MAOA ZINE Is In the fight to the limit. Will you Join? For the sake of the weak and helpless, for the sako or America's future, for the sake of your children's future, for your own Bake, will you Join? We ask you to support Mr. Lawson's work. Wie ask you to read his "A-B-C of Hlgh-Cost-Livlng" in this number. We ask you to get it clearly In your minds. And then we ask you to talk It at overy opportunity. Talk it to every one who will listen. Mention it in your let ters. Talk it at the offlco and on the way. Talk it at ho club and after church. That makes public opinion. The public opinion makes legislators make laws. And there Is going to be a law against the gambling tricks or the Stock Exchange. , Ton days after publication it was impossible to et the October number of EVERYBODY'S in many parts of the country. Order your November number promptly, as your u n d e r s t an d i ng of Mr. Lawson's future chapters will be largely based on your comprehension of the A-B-Owith which he starts.

Whaien. mi Houtn Thirty-fifth Burke Criticises Carnegie Foundation "Does the Carnegie Foundation Ad vance Teaching?" This is the question discussed before the Omahn Philosophi cal society Sunday afternoon by Prof E. n. Burke. And the discussion tended to show that instead of the foundation advancing the teaching profession It Is. a decided hindrance to advancement. The foundation was defined and Its ul terior purposes were set forth by the speaker. Among these purposes were mentioned the encouragement, develop. ment and dignifying of tl.e profession of teaching In such a manner as to make this, the Poorest Prtld profession, seem as alluring to the ambitious youth as are other professions, such as law and medicine. But the speaker, although he gave full credit to the good that might be done, took the-jrtixnd that, tho powers delegated to the committee of twenty five, who administer the revenues aris ing from the endowment, are such that the whole educational system Is within the scope of their activities. This ts de cidedly wrong, Bnd although the pen sioning of superannuated professors Is good theoretically, in actual practice It Is Iniquitous. The foundation commit- Kttlndberg; November IR.
