Times are hard, Ell? That is true-ah,
too true, but what are you doing, read
er, to better them? You may consider
yourself as being but a drop in the
great ocean Of humanity, but you have
a vote, and every man and woman has
a certain influence. How are you vot-
ing your influence? Are you voting with
the men who make times hard? II you
are, you ought not TO complain, for you
are aiding in imposing these conditions
upon yourself, your family and your
neighbors. Do not be content to float
as a rotten chunk In the stream Of pub
lie opinion, but be man, think and att
for yourself. 1t is your bounden duty
to study the problems Of government,
as you have as much right to a voice
in the affairs Of government as any
other man in It, and you are as much
a factor-a part Of the government as
any other man, and to a certain extent
responsible for the wrongs In govern
ment If you are not faithful to the trust
imposed In you as voter. Think of
these things soberly and candidly, and
let your vote and influence be cast with
those who would correct the evils you
complain Of, and drive hard times from

The alien landlords who hold q, OOO.-
900 acres of land in this country will
escape taxation under the decision of
the Supreme court of the United States
on the income tax laws. The Astors and
great land syndicates, who own mil
lions OF acres of land and derive mil
lions of dollars from rents, also es-
cape. Why should these land owners
escape? 1t is true the Supreme court has
decided the law as applied to incomes
from land rents unconstitutional, but
what fair minded man believes the de-
cision a just one, except those greedy
landowners who are heartless? Very
few men have any respect for a de-
cisiOn that seems to have been strained
to protect as far as it was possible 10
do the very wealthy classes. This de-
cision is so closely akin to the noted
bred Scott decision that 1t is already
meeting with the righteous condemna-
ton and contempt of the people, who
look upon justice as now rendered by
the courts as miserable farce.

If you are opposed to the government
ownership Of railways and telegraph
lines can you give good reason for
your position on that question? If the
principle is wrong the world ought to
know 1t soon, as it is rapidly coming
to the front and being accepted by men
in all politics. II you have good reasons
why government ownership of the ma
tural monopolies is wrong you ought
to at once make them known. Who
knows but what you are the very one
to undeceive the people in this matter
and expose the fallacy-if fallacy it be-
OF government ownership Of railways?
Then, again, is 1t not possible that the
principle may be right and you are
wrong? Is 1t not possible that you are
guided more by prejudice than COM
mon sense and reason? Is it not alto
gether probable that party bias may
nave good deal to do in the makeup
OF your judgment? That you oppose
government ownership because your
party opposes 1t or does not indorse il?
