miters from England, communists

many, nihilists from Russia and seal
awags from everywhere, who have
made America a rendezvous, now

Verify, this is an era of peace and
political fellowship. The lion and
the lamb have laid down together
The railroad lobby and the demago-
CUES have joined hands and the re-
suit is no anti-railroad Legislation by
congress. The house of representa-
tives passed bill so manifestly un
just that they knew it could never
become law. 1t was done because
the seat of each member becomes
vacant this fall and all of them want
to be reelected. They now have
something they can go before the
people and howl about, showing how
they have tried to legislate against
monopolies, while at the same time
they have not injured or angered the
monopolies They all return home
on free passes issued by the railroads,
while they draw pay from the gov
ernment for mileage and bawl in the
ears Of the people about railroad
oppression. Such is political consis
tency We will have a notable in
stance of IT in this territory this fall.
