Stagg, president of the Alabama Presby terian college and renowned scholar, Wednesday morning. “Duringthe French revolution the people cried for bread, and the king answered: ‘Let them eat grass,’ and later grass was stuffed down tin* throat of his skeleton. “Rockefeller, Morgan and others of the same ilk, make virtually the same answer to the cries of the un employed today. The average man to capital, hut 100 per cent is too much, and the people will rebel. The bread cry, which a few years ago was the plaintive appeal, is growing into a serious rumble, and unless the impeding death struggle is solved by an exodus from city to country. I fear a revolution within the next few years.” MORSE IN FEDERAL PRISON. Charles W.
