our land? We answer nothing. But
we do not mean to say that the farmer.
the mechanic, and . great manv other
professional labors are unworthy call
ings. No. For such Is not the case.
But there are great many that claim
to be students that are not. There are
those that spend their youthful days In

not learned the first lesson. That is
how 10 study And then there are these
that attend school day or two In 9

and thus they run ON. from day TO day

The corruption ana villainy that ex-
listed In Washington under the two cd.

that the people have long been familiar
