erature free to convert his community.
Any Populist who refuses TO do either
of these deserves to be robbed and
then spat upon by the trusts and money
sharks.

The ALLIANCE DEMANDS.

Whereas, The declaration of inde-
pendence, as basis for republ can
form of government that might be
progressive and perpetual, states:
"That all men are created equal, that
they are endowed with certain inalIen-
able rights, that among these are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
that to secure these rights Sovern-
ments are instituted among men, de-
irving their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed"
We hold, therefore, that to restore
and preserve these rights under a re-
publican form o. government, private
monopOlies of public necessities for
speculatives purposes, whether of the
means of production, distribution or
exchange, should be prohibited, and
whenever any such public necessity
or utility becomes a monopoly in pri-
vate hands, the people of the munici-
pality, state or union, as the case may
be, shall appropriate the same by right
of eminent domain. paying just
value therefor, and operate them for,
and in the interest of, the whole peo-
pie.

The Arena says: "Fer so years
and more the great case against the
Telegraph Monopoly in the United

along an electric WIRE"

Birthplace OF CjriIi=ation.

The newspapers of the
northwest country in their
frantic efforts to chock the
migration of their people to
Arkansas, attempt to frigh-
ten them by saying the
climatic conditions here are
conductive to health and
long life. They lose sight
of the fact that the birth
place of civilization was on
the thirty fifth parallel OF
latitude which passes throu-
Oh the center of Arkansas
and that the topography,
indigenous products, as well
as climate Of Arkansas, and
the land which was selected
as the first dwelling place
of man by his creator, are
the same. The thirty-6fth
parallel of latitude also
defines the center Of the
fruit belt of the world and
the richest and most prOdu,
ctive part of its surface,
with the most equable and
desirable climatic conditions.

Some OF LincoIn's Sayings

es on LluCOln's birthday in
future to cultivate his habit
Of plain speech.
The great war president
had the gift Of stating great
truths and principles in the
simplest language. Here are
d few random quotations
from his speeches:
l say that no man is good
enough to govern another
man without that otherman's S
consent. l say this is the
leading principle, the sheet
anchor of American repub-
licanism.
AS I understand the spirit
of our institutions, it is de-
signed to promote the eleva-
tion of men. | an, therefore,
hostile to anything that
tends to their debasement.
| hold that if the Almighty
had ever made a set of men
that should do all the eating
and none of the work, He
would have made them with
mouths only, and no hands,
and if He had ever made an
other class that He had in
tended should do all the
work and none of the eating,
He would have made them
without mouths and with all
hands,
When the time comes |
shall take the ground that |
think is right light for the
north, for the south, for the
east, for the west---for the
whole country.
I have no prejudice against
the southern people. They
are Just what We should be
in their situation. If slavery
did not exist among them
they would not introduce it.
If it did now exist among us
we would not instantly give
it up.
1t is but a specious and
fantastic arrangement of
words by which a man can
prove a horse-chestnut to be
a chestnut horse.
Stand with anybody that
stands right. Stand with
him while he is right, and
part with him when he goes
wrong.
What would you do in my
position? Would you drop
the war where it is? Or
would you prosecute it in
future with e | d e RS t a | k
squirts charged with tose
water?
There are already among
us those who, if the union be
preserved, will live to see it
contain $50, 900. OOO of pop
ulation. The struggle today
is not altogether for to-day,
it is for a vast future also.
No men are mote worthy
to, be trusted than those who
toll up from poverty; none
less inclined to take or touch
aught which they have not
honestly earned,
Lincoln, like John Bright,
fond of words of one or two
sylIables, and it was a rare
thing for him to use Latinized
dictien. He knew how to
get close to the people, and
sometimes, as in his Gettys-
burg speech, he uttered SEN
tences which have since be-
come historic. q.
