Every patriot ought to take time by
the forelock, this is a critical period
and so sure as things are allowed to
drift by themselves, the Peoples Party
is doomed and peaceable reconstruction
will give way to the most destructive
revolution of the ages. Around here
socialism is spreading like wildfre, but
they are unorganized and have no
chance yet for political action. Let us
go to ST. Louis, let us rally around a
leader, let Mr.. Barker be there and
give us his brotherly counsel, put the
Initiative and Referendum and Imper-
ative Mandate on the top mast, and we
will develop strength and rally to our
banner such a support that the new
movement will sweep the country like
tidal wave. Thus our wives will ad-
mire us and our mothers pray for US,
for hundreds of thousands of yet I'M
born children will be saved from per-
dition. Mr.. Barker's platform we know,
but his earnestness many do not yet
understand.

Henry George, author of Progress
and Poverty" and candidate of the
Thomas Jefferson Democracy for May
or of Greater New York, died suddenly
Friday morning of cerebral apoplexy.
In his great Cooper Union speech &C
cepting the nomination for mayor, less
than month ago, he said:
"I'll make this race if it costs me my
life. This is call to duty, and as 9
good citizen 1 have no right to disre-
gard it on account of mere personal
considerations. True to his word he
died as he wished to die-in harness.
The Thomas Jefferson Democracy
has substituted the name of Henry
George, Jr,, for the name of his father
Henry George, as candidate for may

The Populist party is gaining strength
in every State in the Union. From
Maine to California the good tidings
are heralded The people are becom-
ing tired of the old parties, their eyes
are becoming opened to the fact that
through the old parties there is no re-
dress for the people in common. In
the platform of each of the old parties
is the hidden plank, ''Plutocracy must
rule" On this they stand, and today
to Wall street and the moneyed kings
Its only matter of time, and that
time is fast approaching, when the
Populist party will be in the ascenden-
cy, and then. and then only, will this
plutocratic rule be relegated to the
rear and a government of the people,
by the people ana for the people, be
formulated. Douglas Leader.
