Western Olfloe, Chicago, Illinois, wimimmmmmammmmmtmm SOME LITTLE FABLES IN LILT ING RHYME Two Pharisees A Pharisee of gracious moin who loved of all men to bo seen, once to tho temple took his way to pose be fore the world and pray. And lifting up his cunning eyes towards the bright and sunny skies ho gave loud thanks the story ran he was not like tho publican. The Pharisee of whom you've read lias for a long, long time been dead; but in his place in evry land some other Pharisee will stand, and stand ing thus will pray aloud not to the Father, but to the crowd and then imagine he is viewed with honor by the multitude. A man with overwhelming gall who answers to the name McCall, swiped fifty thousand plunks or more belong ing to the widows' store, and gave it to a sleek campaign in hopes to add unto his gain, but raised his pious eyes on high and prayed and worked graft on the sly. their wives and children,, .when they passed across the great divide, some for their future would provide. And then to put the plan in force he took a An Open Letter to Senator Foraker The Receivers and Shippers Ascn. ciation Co, of Cincinnati, 0 Oct 1? 1905: ' Cl' 12 Senator J. B. Foraker, Cincinnati A-Dear Sir: Your attitude oi railroad rate regulation, as explained in your speech at Belief ontaine, Ohio September 23? and the statements made therein, are considered by tho board of directors of the Receiver and snippers Association of Cincinnati as rather crooked course. nalHnrr for nriHnipm nrwi i,. . he would , " ,n1Tv r T " 7 ' ts Fromnoor men's premiums take some 95 Per cent to make soft easy berths with salaries that beat by several score degrees the wages of the men who paid to have provi sion for wives made; and these soit "berths he took good care tnai oniy his own house should share. "It is your duty," he would cry, frt inv n mt-.ifi substance by that wives and little ones may be from poverty and trouble free. Just put the money in my care and I will all their burdens bear. I am a man whose heart is bent on works of love benevolent." And bet your life he meant it, too but he and you took different view. You thought he meant your wife and child should be preserved from hunger wild: huh he meant his. Of what you spent in premiums a big share went Un rvmiro Hfo Annv for his own and '"Phnnlr fJnrl " Tin anTri "T rHrl not. . j...... vu, ., iiiot now mnnv is uul ivuuwu. . t - . ! . M MVkVIV when caugnt in nis neianuus wunv he quoted scripture with a smirk. "I've scriptural warrant I will state; in chapter five and in verse eight of Timothy the First you'll see words that gave warrant unto me for car ing for this house of mine in luxury so grand and fine.' MORAL: The Devil on occasion can ";" Quote scripture 'like a preacher man.; swerve, but strove our honor to pre serve." And as he prayed his pock ets bulged with wealth secured by schemes divulged despite his loud em phatic plea that none wei quite so pure as he. And with a nerve sublime he tried to point to his career with pride The Pharisee of olden time has long sinco struck another clime, and all the world declares with vim 'tis surely hot enough for him. The Pharisee who grateful feels because tho profits of his steals were spent to further other schemes will sometimes feel just how it seems. -. ' MORAL: This life is full of guile and strife But graft lurks in tho New York Life. The Fence Once on a-time a man of note who often . swelled his chest and throat and gave full vent to lusty speech until he was dubbed "Chaunce do Peach." stood forth upon the stump with fears ana voice choked full of sobs and tears, arid, said: "O, friends, alas, alack;, the nation's doomed to ballyhack! ' "That is, to say, 'tis doomed to die unless the people quickly fly to. such as me relief to "find and do not those disturbers mind who say that graft and loot abound the whole fiunncial world around. The men like me. would gladly give their lives that this great state might live. "Don't listen to such men hear me! Don't heed wails of calamity. The men who run our high finance are men who never lose a chance to work for the republic's weal, and for your ev'ry trouble feel. Rely on us we'll save the state and will preserve its honor great." All this he said, and vastly more, and on his honor loudly swore that honest men like him should be sot up to guard sweet liberty. But one fine day the news reveals some mighty big insurance steals. And people chased him to the woods and caught "Do Peach" with all the goods. MORAL: A search of such men will disclose Tho "goods" concealed about their clothes. "The Ungrateful A senator whom you all know, who hails from far off G-hi-o, declares it is his full intent to stand beside the president and win reforms the people need and ston the rel 1 of railroad greed. But somehow ho recalls to 1U1UU 1.11U OIU1J J U. JJ.UUJ. lUUUt flUU. A poor man on his homeward way upon the close of one cold day, found by the road a little snake froze stiffer than a wagonstake. He took the viper to his breast and lugged it home an honored guest. He thawed it out, and fed it, too Now what did that mean old snake do? The sake rose up upon , its tail and roughened ev'ry slimy scale. Then, bit the hand of him who had pre served it from a fate so sad. Un grateful snake, you would have died if not brought to that fireside, and now you've jabbed your poison in he- neath the poor man's punctured skin. Ungrateful is the onerjr whelp that bites the hand stretched out to help. The party this Ohio man pretends to lead but 'tis his plan to pose as friendly, then to bita and some there be who think it's rlgnt. He says the president's "O. K." then throws him down most every day. This man who would he lost to sight without the glow of calcium light; this man who owes his office fat to Teddy of the Campaign Hat, seeks now to sink his dagger keen tho president's own ribs between. Which is the worst, tho snake or man? Please answer that one If you can. MORAL: Ones snake thawed out should well 'suffice. Only a sucker gets bit twice. lvwui.jr o juui JLCJUS11UIUI1 OI It AS a business question, and one without political significance, relieves us of any' possible charge of endeavoring to influence in any way the result of the present campaign in Oh'c. The transportation conditions in England and the United States are so much at variance that your argu-' men,t concerning same can have no weight with those who are familiar with these conditions, although It might impress those not conversant with the subject. You say: "To take control of the rate-making power is "to take charge of the rev enue of the roads, and that means that the government is to assume the responsibility, not only of determining what rates shall be charged, but also of necessity how much money a rail road shall be allowed make." No proposed legislation that wo know of would have any such effect. The Esch-Townsend bill, which passed the house of representatives at the last session almost unanimously, provided for the substitution of a reasonable rate for one found by the interstate . commerce commission to be unreasonable. It is safe to say that but a small percentage of tne rates in effect in the United States would ever be called in question. .
