upon, and the churches and the religious
press are content to let this rest upon
legal grounds, doing nothing whatever
to learn and teach the moral elements in
volved. 1t is one Of the elements Of the
fight before us to stand for the moral
quality called equity and against the i'm
moral and unjust extortion practiced
under high legal interest either by stat
ute or contract or both.
Centuries ago this was question Of
morals. 1t was allowable to charge
"stranger interest or hire for the use
of money, bu not neighbor or brother
A "stranger" was an alien, an enemy.
Now, all men are brethren. neighbors,
and under the same law morally that was
then prescribed for those not strangers" 3"
This coming fight must be made with
the weapons of peace-skillful presenta-
tion of truth in the interests Of human
ity, not in combative spirit as against
anv man or set Of men, but only as com
batting error, and that by pointing out the
more excellent way. When reviled, re-
vile not again, but turn on the modern
electric search-lighto Of fuller. orbed truth
till our enemies stink away in darkness or
confess the error Of their way and join
our ranks.
Perhaps you want me to indicate some
particular contests to be undertaken at
once. Well, we must besiege the citadel
of public Indifference in regard to certain
reforms in legislation and create de
mand for certain work to be done by the
next legislature. We ought to be prac-
tically and actually a unit in insisting
that our legislature shall follow out the
plan of brushing aside some useless and
expensive time honored customs, as did
our valiant leaders in deciding that the
Inauguration Of our governor shall be q
plain business affair rather than scene
Of revelry for the display cf butterflies Of
fashion. Let rs fight the useless and
ruinous Journalism and do-nothingness OF
legislative bodies, and demand that from
this time on the legislature shall be a
body of workers who shall transact busi-
ness for the people, rather than use the
peoples time and money to do business
for the corporations.
Let us demand mortgage relief law;
the Australian ballot law, or a better
system; a law making any one who pur-
chRses a vote in any way or even spends
enough for a cigar for the purpose of
electioneering, ineligible for office
thereby; an equitable school tax law that
will prevent the present inequalities Of
this burden; the introduction OF the in
itiative and referendum and corpora
tional representation; q thorough
revision of our insurance laws; law that
will fully enfranchise the better half Of
our citizens; railroad laws that will re-
lieve the people from extortion; law
making the railway commissioners cleo
tive by the people; laws providing high
ways; q law providing that July 4,
election day, Thanksgiving and Christ
mas days shall be holidays; and a law
fixing the election Of township officers
upon the same date as that of municipal
elections.
But / need not specify further. We
ought to agree before this session close'
upon a plan of action for the comir
year. Let US always fight for trr
as God gives us light to see it, for thf

I should declare that liberty has been
destroyed or driven from our land. In
it's place we have plutocracy and poverty.
Consider this truthful portrayal OF con-
ditions as we find it in "The Coming
Climax"
"Of late years new and malign entity
forcibly intruded itself into the complex
life of our nation. A hitherto unknown
but altogether formidable power slowly
and surely assumed absolute dominion
over our industrial, commercial and poit-
ical systems. When this end finally
came the people perforce gave their oil
garchic master a name and they called
the all potential hydra-head the plu-
tocracy.
"Loosely but sufficiently defined, the
plutocracy is the aggregated wealth OF
the nations rich men and corporations
thoroughly organized and massed under
talented, energetic and unscrupulous
generals. These leaders advance the
column along the whole line against the
wealth creators of the country for the
purpose of taking the fruits Of their toll
to the utmost. The prosperity OF the
producer is trampled under foot by the
invading host, and now the liberties OF
the citizen vanish amid the general
spoliation.
"The triumphant plutocracy has de-
stroyed the nice balance between the
rights of property and the rights Of men
as they once existed, and now when issue
is Joined between money and man, the
man is forced to the WALL 1t has changed
the peoples courts Of justice into the
plutocracy's courts of law. It has made
the legislative function Of the govern
ment it's humble servitor. While under
it's subtitle necromscy the forms of our
popular institutions remain, their spirit
has gone and these United States are no
longer a government of the people, by
the people and for the people.
"The old-time theory that the only
valid reason of being a democracy is
to do the greatest good to the greatest
number of citizens has been put away,
and now it's sole mission is held to be
that of an umpire. If the strong and
crafty compel the weak and simple to
fight tnem on their own ground with
their own weapons, the government must
take no consideration Of mercy, justice
and eternal moralities, but keep it's eyes
fixed on the rules of the combat as laid
down by the plutocracy and let the duel
to death 60 on. 1t is as if the shepherd
sat on stump and impsrtially allowed
the wolves and sheep to fight it out,
snd if the sheep happened to be lacking
in the matter OF jaws and teeth, it was
merely their misfortune and the wolves
legitimate advantage.
"The idea that the republic was under
any righteous obligation to do the best
it could for the we'll being of the mass
of it's citizens is voted by the plutocrats
to be rank heresy. 1t is next door to
