The Shooting of J. P. Morgan

J. P. MORGAN was shot twice by a lunatic crank. The wounds were not serious, and Mr. Morgan's life is spared. Men are apt to pass this circumstance by with a remark that only a crank did it. But the conditions of this time and the discussions that grow out of the conditions, have a tendency to develop just such men as the man Holt, who shot Morgan. We may condemn the discussions, and we may condemn the conditions, but our condemnation does not stop the product. Only divine foreknowledge can tell the final outcome of such a situation.
