THE FORGOTTEN MAN 



As soon as A observes which seems to him to be wrong, from which X is suffering, A talks it over with B and they propose to get a law passed to remedy the evil and help X.  Their law always proposes to determine what C shall do for X or what A, B and C can do for X.  I want to look up C to show you the manner of a man he is.  I call him the Forgotten Man.  Perhaps the appellation is not strictly correct.  He is the man who is never thought of....He works, he votes, generally he prays - but he always pays...."
