Name P. O. This Coupon Good for 20 Days Only B. G. Short, Sheldon, Mo. When I read Senator Owen's recent speech it brought to :ife a hopo that was well nigh gone from mo; it 'had -a true ring in it; it had the sound ia it of the old liberty bell of 1776. When Senator Owen ask'ed tho re publican senate if the people rule why don't they get what they want there was no answer from those. sen ators nor will there be any true an swer from them; they know that the people do not rule; they also know that the jpeoplo are ruled by a con spiracy of laws which were enacted by them for and in the interests of a class of people whose interests are directly opposite to the interests of a people who want good and honest government.- When we look back in to ttte past, and up -to the present we are compelled to believe that these lawmakers were also largely benefited by these laws which they enacted and we (the people) have been injured beyond repair. It seems to me that there now is suffi cient evidence before the American people to caus,o them to call a halt before it is forever too late. The. republican party now has the appear ance of being a party divided against itself and again the question arises in my mind, is this really true or is it a part that is being acted by them for a future benefit to them. Senator LaFollette, Senator Gummins and others are not at the present time in accord with the administrative pow er. These men who;, by the aid of 'the democrats in congress,. have ac complished some little good for which, we are truly grateful; their 'efforts slip wed. a. desire- to; benefit the .'people to some- extent by defeating ;a great '-wrong -which was, intended. !and again he Question: arises, do ,thesa men, Mr.LaEollette,- Mi., Cunv mlns and- oth.ersr intends to. go. fan enough in this reform movement to 'accomplish what isdeslfced. by the.1 peopie. anu wuai. is neeuea -anai wiu give justice to the people, r think not; they stand for so little that it will fail far short of being of any real benefit to a tax-ridden people. From what information! can gather they yet believe in protection , and also fear a disruption of the repub lican party. I would ask the judge why it is the Taft and Aldrich tariff law is so much worse than the Ding ley or McKinley tariffs. If they will look backwards I think they will find that they have not prospered over much under any of them. They were each a step on' his ladder of infamy. If they will only consult their own interests they will find that tho whole principle of protection Is a vrong and was intended as one; there are only a few that are protected. The farm ers are not protected thremgh high protection and can't be protected by any kind of high protection. Other labor is not protected through pro tection; if they are why the need of labor organizations? I want to say right hero if it had not havo been for organized labor there would have been a revolution in this country years ago; labor would have heen starved into a revolt, but as It is labor can do but little better than keep from starvation. Is there any solution of this question of "if the people rule why don't they get what they want?" There is. Robert Ing ersoll once said, when speaking of prayer he said that people prayed for what they wanted and then went to work and got it. We may pray for what we want, but God only helps the ones that try to help them- Rolvnn. T?Irsh wa munf nlnon niilv I. tried and true men to guard our in terests. Second, we must demand and stand for a principle or policy that will give us exact justice as near as human honesty and intelligence can accomplish it; to do this we must cause every one to be. equally inter ested and equally responsible for good government; and tho only way this great good to our people can be accomplished is equal taxation for all people according to the property they own. No man shall escape equal taxation. Those that vote and have no property should pay a government poll tax; he then, if he votfcd, would bo interested in good government. Under this form of government it would be a question of only a very short time until the expense of gov ernment would not cost us one-third of what it does now; tho taxpayers would see that we had just what we wanted and no more. Through 'the greed and dishonesty of man our con stitution fails to protect our just rights, national and state. We must amend it so that it will destroy the opportunity for great wealth to wrong us ever again. We have wit nessed that.,prosecutions through our present laws have and is costing us untold millions without any relieC whatever. Under the principle and policy of equal taxation as an issue there may be some who claim to be democrats that will turn to protec tion for party; if so, let them go; their loss from our party will be a gain to us. We owe fealty to no one that are in direct .opposition to 'our just rights. We aslc only for justice, if .thby-decline to be a party in helping us to obtain justice they are not 'the; friends 'of .a government" by the peopleahd'fbf the peopleVthey ;are tha enemies of what everyAmer-' ican: citizen should h61d" . to' be a 'sacred " trust tobe-handed down to ; our posterity" Let lis make- no mis- NEW RUPTURE CURE APS&&byjieBk. tat f&.ftvSasTtH H&&3W Don't W?ar A Truss.
