li represented by Committeeman
Barnes of New York. His state
ment in part says: "At the coming
convention it will bo determined
"whether the republican party of this
state, officially, through its chosen
representatives in convention, in
tends to bow Its head to the political
agitation of the hour, which is the
causo of the palsy overhanging tho
business world today. Hysteria has
run riot throughout this country, ex
pressing itself in one form or an
other, such as 'direct nominations,'
the 'initiative and referendum,' tho
'initiative and recall.' It matters
little what particular form tho hys
teria takes the Question to bo de
cided at Saratoga is whether the re
publican party will fight the diseaso
or succumb in the interests of poli
ticians seeking office or temporary
acclaim." Predatory wealth rules
and every time the people try to rule,
their effort is called -hysterical, and
palsy overhangs tho business world!
If the people want a panic let them
try to rule. The circulating medium
will be withdrawn from our business
veins and wo will look pale financial
ly. Instead of getting hold of the
reins of the government, , we will find
that we have grasped a live wire and
wo will receive a shock from a dyn
amo built by our own weakness. If
we would be strong, we must edu
cate. We must educate or we will
perish by pur own prosperity. If we
do not, short will be our race to our
political graves. If in our nation's
haste to become rich and mighty she
outruns her religious and educa
tional institutions they will only-
come up after tho battle of liberty
is fought and' lost. Then they will
be used by predatory wealth to per
petuate our bondages. If the good
people of this country love liberty
they mustwork their brain as well
as theirrb!ands

fact that we become tho servants of
that which wo Jove. If wo lovo Al
mighty God wo become His servants
and receive the blessingB of Him
who is love. If wo lovo our neigh

"bow to the golden calf," wo enter
tho service of tho money god and

Why not change the question and ask
why don't the people keep what they
have and what God has placed in the
howels of tho earth for them. They
can't. They keep gas aiid oil at
home, at least enough to grind their
own wheat and corn. They have
the power to make laws through a
republican government to protect
them from graft, combines and mon
opoly. Why not let ug grind our own
wheat and corn and quit worrying
about that which we give to them?
We vote bonds to build railroads
and other improvements. Why not
vote a law to vote a few bonds to
build mills to grind our bread at
