"McFarlane has had his chance"
says the Des Moines News. "And the
people of the state have concluded
that it was generous chance.
1t is no excuse for man that politics
has ruined him any more than it is an
excuse for man that wine or women
or covetousness has ruined him. If he
got beyond his depth in politics, so
have other men got beyond their depth
in other things"

The Advocate is spelling for dis
cussion on the national banking ques-
ton. 1t says last week:
When Satan desired to suckle the life-blood of
the tax-paying millions of the land, he caused
legislation to be enacted which established the
soul-crushing national banking system, the
most egregious fraud of the age. The Advocate
is ready to argue this question with anyone who
uphods the national banks, and invites discus,
sion.
Somebod.' ought to accommodate Mr.
Allen. The challenge is not limited.
Anybody will do.
