La Follettc Hits Hard.
In a 5-hour speech over in Iowa the
other day the governor of Wisconsin
went after corporate, official and polit
ical graft In the following forceful
fashion:
‘‘The great danger of this country
at the present time is not an attack
from a foreign foe nor from internal
disruption, but it comes from corpor
ate Influences in city, state and na
tion. No city of any considerable size
without its taint, no state where it
does not exist. Its tendency is to
suppress business and demoralize com
petition. The beef trust of this coun
try is controlled by six individuals.
Not a farmer from the Atlantic to the
Missouri can raise one pound of beef,
pork or mutton and sell it on an open
market. Beef on hoof has gone down
and beef on the hook has gone up as a
result of the trust. There is not a
man engaged in that trust who Is not
clearly a criminal in the eyes of the
people of this land. Criminals because
the statutes of the country make
them criminals.
“The way it looks today it will not
be long before every one of them will
be brought before the court of justice
and convicted for the great crime
they are inflicting on the American
people.
"The grain market is in the same
predicament. Six elevator men con
trol It and there is not a town or a
village in which you can sell your
grain on a square, fair and open mar
ket. The trust has you by the throat.
“The Standard Oil! What makes
you smile? Read yesterday that Rock
efeller had been to prayer meeting
again. Tomorrow he will be giving
to some college or university. He
gives with two hands, but he robs
with many. If he should live a thou
sond years he couldn’t expiate the
orime he has committed. There is
only one way—eternity the time and
and as to thelplace you can guess that.
He is the greatest criminal of the age.
“And then there is the coal trust.
All the anthracite coal in this coun
try is included in a patch of land eight
miles wide and sixty miles long.
That’s all there Is of it. Railroads
and operators unlawfully got hold of
this land by corrupting legislatures
and the result is that every consumer
of coal Is In the grasp of the coal trust
which is identical with the railroad
trust. Twenty-five thousand million
dollars is the aggregate capital now
engaged in trusts, monopolies and
combinations.
“Railroads are public highways, ac
cording to the supreme court of the
United States and yet they are no
more than toll gates. There is a gate
at every station, no matter what rail
road. With increase in shipments
rates should go down. But railroads
are absolutely running the congress of
the United States. Attempt to pass
a bit of legislation that is fair and
honest, but which will reduce the net
income of the railroad and see what
you will run up against. United
States senators traveling here and
there and everywhere on passes.
Lobbyists in hamlet, village, town
and city with passes in their pockets.
Lobbyists who run caucuses and fix up
slates for you to vote. I admire our
president and I believe the people
should indorse his position on railway
legislation. When he says something
you understand what he says without
stopping to parse the sentence. Man
agers of railroads class men as safe
and unsafe. They know a safe man
in the common city caucus and they
fight against sending an honest man
as a delegate to even a county conven
tion. It is organized corruption of
politics in both parties that we raise
our voice against.
Gambling.
(Ry Theo. Kharas.)
Gambling is a bad thing for some
people—tlie losers. I have never
known a winner to have conscientous
scruples. He lias no objections or com
plaints to make. Tills is natural.
If you are nota winner, quit—if you
want. If you like to lose, and can
stand it, that’s your business. The
old adage applies here as elsewhere.
“If at first you don’t succeed, try
again.” It is a rigid adherence to this
principle that keeps the game—any
game going. When the losers quit,
Wall street shylocks and stock-jobbing
joints will suspend operation along
with all other games of chance. This
is absolutely the only way to stop
gambling. There is an element of
chance in almost every venture in
human life.
It Is worse than a waste of breath
and ink to ask successful gamblers to
forego their pleasure and profit. You
can stop horse racing, maybe, but you
cannot eliminate the gambling in
stinct from man. Chase the tiger from
one lair, and he will go to another.
Stop one game, and some other meth
od Just as effective will be invented.
Life itself is a game of chance, mar
riage a lottery, and most people born
into the world today are accidents.
Even the Bible compares the Christ
ian life to a race course.
There are many “endurance” and
“speed trials” in which one may be
entered. Most people, however, run
unplaced—are never “in the money.”
Comparatively few have been able to
win an “East street” purse, less the
“Millionaire stakes.”
In the “Business Handicap” most
men “blow up” in the stretch.
In the “Political Derby” not a few
get “left at the post.”
War is a game of chess, in which
nations stake their fortunes and their
lives.
Professional life resembles a game
of poker more than anything else. It
gives better opportunities for “four
flushing.”
Farming resembles euchre, for the
reason that the trusts hold both
“bowers” and fix the price of all the
farmer has to sell, and everything he
has to buy. They manage to “euchre”
him out of his just profits.
Newspaper men, preachers and wage
earners play a game which closely re
sembles “craps.”
Criminals play the various games
unfairly, and sometimes go to jail and
sometimes to the United States Sen
ate for “loading” the dice, using
“dope” and “stacking” the cards.
The law never did and never will
stop games of chance. You may stop
racing, close every gambling den, in
cluding tho stock markets and boards
of trade, and men will bet on the
weather, elections, the probable gen
der of unborn children and flip coins
in order to woo the smiles of fickle
Fortune.
Every man, even the ass-eared,
long-nosed variety who insist upon
sticking his elephantine proboscis in
to other people’s business, thinks he
has a right to do as ho pleases with
his own money.
The effort on the part of short
haired women and long haired men to
regulate every act of one’s life by law
is idiotic. Imbued with the spirit of
personal liberty, every brave man re
volts at the clank of blue law chains
in the hands of these cranks.
The gambling instinct is stronger
in some people than in others. To
illustrate:
“A passenger on a fast train wanted
to bet his companion $5 that the train
would reach its destination on time.
He refused. The other offered to bet
him five that he would get in late,
and he declined. He then tried to bet
him ten that it wouldn’t get in at all.
Just then, as the good man reached
for his money, a wreck occurred and
he was hurled a hundred feet in the
air. As he came dowu he met the
gambler going up. As they passed in
mid air the gambler yelled, ‘I’ll bet
you a hundred that you reach hell be
fore I do!’
With this disposition In all mankind
regulation is the only thing possible.
Let the game be played absolutely
fair, whether it be horse racing, busi
ness, preaching or politics. When
fraud is attempted or committed, pun
ish the offender to the limit.

who go into hysteria over horse racing

“Make flay While the Sun Shines.”
There is a lesson in the work of the
thrifty farmer. He knows that the
bright sunshine may last but a day
and he prepares for the showers which
are so liable to follow. So it should
be with every household. Dysentery,
diarrhoea and cholera morbus may at
tack some member of the home with
out warning. Chamberlin’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which
is the best known medicine for these
diseases, should always be kept at
hand, as immediate treatment is nec
essary, and delay may prove fatal.
