OF course only an intelligent and
truly patriotic people would stone an
inotfen~ive sleeping car because it bore

WONDER what the people of the fu-
ture will think of the mentors of the
administration of to day who have lied
and blinded Il fool people into believing
that an issue of interest-bearing bonds .
are necessary to conduct war or any

rupted congress and frustrated his
efforts.

to be Far and away from the corrupt
