Excerpt from "An Eye for an Eye" And Some Reprinted Pieces I believe all persons connected in any way with courts of justice should receive only stated salaries from the state. That there should be only a stated number of lawyers for each community, paid by the state. That there should be no private salaried servants allowed to tamper with the courts. That all cases should come reg ularly before the courts and be disposed of in their re g ular order by the proper court oflicials paid only by the state. In such case, the corporations and the rich would have no advantage over the poor - all cases being equal to the court - and they would not be able to monopo lize the courts by t/zeir own lawyers, paid with Meir own money. To do mfzal they wanted done. If you speak to a lawyer on this subject he will blandly tell you he studied law, graduated from a law college, in order to make it lzz's business. He is ready to defend any case, be it a case of guilt or innocence, for money. While realizing that it is not for me 'to set the crooked straight I excuse myself for meddling by pointing to the precedent that it was one of my distinguishd forefathers who helped build the law of the Romans.* As to the poem itself I have little to say.

Excerpt from An Eye for an Eye When Hank Clery left the switch-yards in the outskirts of Chicago he took the street car and went down town. He was going to the county jail on the north side of the river. Hank had never been inside the jail though he had been arrested a number of times and taken to the police court, escaping luckily with a small fine which his mother had contrived to pay. She was one of the best washerwomen of the whole neighborhood, and never without work. All the officers knew that whenever Hank got into trouble his mother would pay the fine and costs. Hank had often been arrested, but he was by no means a bad fellow. He lived with his old Irish mother and was very fond of her and often brought his wages home if none of the boys happened to be near when the pay-car came around. Hank was a switchman in one of the big railroad yards in Chicago. Of course, he and his companions drank quite a little, and then their sports and pastimes were not of the gentlest sort; for that matter neither was their work - climbing up and down running cars and turning switches just ahead of a great locomotive and watching to make sure which track was safe where the moving cars and engines were all around - did not tend to a quiet life. Of course, most people think that no man will work in a switch-yard unless he drinks. Perhaps no man would drink unless he worked in a switch-yard or some such place. Well, on this day Hank was going to the jail, not on account of any of his own misdeeds, but on an errand of mercy. The night before, the priest had come to Hank's home and told him that his old friend, Jim Jackson, had begged for him to visit the jail. Hank at first refused, but the priest told him that Jim had no friends and was anxious to have a few minutes' talk with him before he died; Jim had some message that he wanted to give Hank that he could not leave with anyone else. Hank knew that Jim was to be hanged on Friday, and he had thought about it a good deal in the last few days and wished that it was over. He had known Jim for a long time; they had often been out together and sometimes got drunk together. Jim, once worked in the yards, tut one night one of the other boys was struck by the Limited as it pulled out on the main track, and Jim and Hank gathered him up when the last Pullman coach had rolled over him; and after that Jim could never go back to the yards; so he managed to get an old horse and wagon and began peddling potatoes on the street. One evening Hank took up the paper, and there he saw a headline covering the whole page and a little fine print below telling how Jim had killed his wife with a poker.
