Such men were to be my comrades for the future.
But the spectacle of a man being mobbed, jailed, beaten and perhaps murdered for trying to exercise it is a good show like any other good show, and the populace is thus not only eager to witness it but even willing to help it along.
Again the most stalwart men of the nations will "dig themselves in" and slaughter one another for years on end. Again the truth-tellers will be mobbed and jailed and lynched, while those who champion the cause of the workers will be served with injunctions if they refuse to sell out to the masters.
"Oh, Daddy!" "When a man's as mean as that scalawag," said her father, philosophically, "there's no knowing to what lengths he will go. I shan't feel that you are safe on the ranges until he's found and jailed." "And I shan't feel that we're out of trouble until your friend Mr. Lonergan comes here and you divide and get rid of that silly old treasure," declared Frances, and she pouted a little.

Every time he got money he got drunk; and every time he got drunk he raised Cain around town; and every time he raised Cain he got jailed. He was just suited this kind of thing was right in his line. He got to hanging around the widow's too much and so she told him at last that if he didn't quit using around there she would make trouble for him. Well, WASN'T he mad?
The judge sentenced him for life." For life! Riding on by the side of this man through the ranches by the County Road, Presley repeated these words to himself till the full effect of them burst at last upon him. Jailed for life! No outlook. No hope for the future. Day after day, year after year, to tread the rounds of the same gloomy monotony.
Now I reckon he's gone an' so let luck take him good, bad, er indifferent. Won't you let him hit his own trail, foot-loose?" "I'd like to see him arrested and jailed," said Gus, "but for you and because of what you'll do for George and your being so good to Bill and me, I'll keep mum on it." "Good, me lad. An' now you git back to George an' tell him to keep Thad's name out of it.
