of the privileges of citizenship.
A voto in the box is better than two hours
of protest on the street corner. ' . '
Vote early next Tuesday, and -then spend tho
rest of the day in getting your democratic neigh
bors to the polls.
It is Teported that it cost the republican man
agers in Vermont $10 per head to secure a very
greatly reduced majority in that state this year.
Very naturally those eminent republican
bosses of Pennsylvania are disgusted at the idea
of people being indignant over a little matter of
225 per cent graft on a state house investment
of $4,000,000.
The chandeliers In the new Pennsylvania
state house cost $2,000,000, and now the grafters
are actually kicking because so much light has
been thrown on their actions.
The Massachusetts republican standpatters
executed a flank movement on the republican re
visionists, but executing a flank movement on all
the people is quite another question.
nwFhairmaIl Neidringhaus of the Missouri re
publican state committee says: "We are trylnc
ft?,1 MIssouri on Purpose this time." And
that s the very reason they will fail.

tribution to the republican campaign fund that is
being raised by popular subscription and to
which President Roosevelt recently subscribed.'
We would like to have our dollar in such select
company, all right, but we've done all the con
tributing we intend to this year. We recently
have completed building a house at a cost of some
thing over $4,000, and for every foot of lumber
every pane of glass, every sack of cement, every
pound of nails and in fact for nearly every bit

talk this way, but facts aro facts, and it sort of
relieves our conscience to tell the truth about
the trusts once in a while. We'll just let tho
