prayed, G0Q protect US from these an
archists at home, who would prevent us
from carrying this same doodle civiliza-
ton to the Filipinos. Fer that pur-
pose the Redeemer's blood was sheo.
Then Rev. James s. Montgomery.
lately Of Ohio, called on all the gods Of
war, reminded his hearers Of every bat
tie the past hundred years as supreme
moments of life, and then painted for
more. They said that clergyman will
next Sunday have to get extra seats for
the new hearers that will come to his
church."
William Henry Eustis, Attorney Elan
merry and Frank Nye, declared that
1.-The dignity of the great United States
"a poor compliment to the United
States) had been outraged by those
driveling, ignorant barbarians, and must
be avenged" We are fast learning from
the history of other nations to give poor
excuses for conquering.
Our Democratic mayor, Gray, and one
other speaker said they believed in
free speech. But when 1t came to SOL
dier boys, whose terms of enlistment
have properly expired, but who are re-
tanned in the Philippines, then resort to
free speech became treachery." Our boys
are held there, not to protect our coun-
try, but to conquer. Yet the speakers
repeatedly decared, ut was not theirs to
question why; theirs but to do or die!"
President Northrop concluded by say
ing that anybody who questioned such
dogmatic statements as had been made
at their meeting, was a "damnable
hereto"
Yet the poor defenseless Filipinos had
not been heard.
The people applauded. They always
applaud. have seen them applaud at a
hanging.
This article is only given as news. If
any comments are necessary, they are
these. AS our civilization Graves war,
and people applaud it, have always voted
for it, have again tasted human blood,
WAR LET 1T BE. Garry the war into
Africa, Russia, China. Yes, back again
into the mines and sweat shops of our
own country. KEEP UP WAR INCES-
SANITY.
The expression that elected the most
applause at the meeting was this: Our
government should not be ruled by the
utterances of men who lived one hun
dred years ago, because in their widest
dreams they never foresaw the great and
o'ermastering destiny awaiting the gov
eminent they had created" Let us Pop
ulists repeat and apply the same words
to Hamilton's financial system, Jackson's
specie circular, and to the checks our
early fathers placed against the will of
the people in the constitution through
the senate, conventions and courts For
Populists are the ONLY true expansion
lists. The Populist is the only
party that refuses to remain
confined inside the narrow linn
it's of the old chestnuts of centuries
that have passed. The Populist king
dom on earth differs from the Heavenly
Kingdom only as the opening bud from
the full blown flower.
FIGHT, until this Mckinley prosper
ity' dies out like the light of candle,
before the rising sun of justice, freedom
and true liberty for the WEAKEST we'll
as the strongest. H. B. F.
ORGANIZERS WANTED.
AS we do not belong to the trusts, that
rob the people, and can pay no salary.
AS We attacked the railroad, no passes.
AS the people are suspicious and jealous,
plenty of kicks. Who will become organ
izers under such conditions?
We need organizers, who will teach
and start others to teaching; who will
travel, speak or write. WHO WILL
FORM CLUBS. Send the names of any
you know, good for such work. with
letters to publish giving your ideas, how
best to accomplish these ends.
We hope to receive very many ad-
dresses of true Populists who will vol
unteer thus to organize or teach in local
tiles, which they may select agreeable to
themselves, from precincts up to coun-
ties or congressional districts, or even
general organizers from Iowa, Mime
sofa, the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming or
Idaho, now under our Jurisdiction. ALL
THIS INITIATING and VOLUNTEER
ING, subject to the will of the clubs,
to be formed, is ABSOLUTELY NECES-
SARY TO START OUR MARCH OUT
OF CONFUSION INTO ORDER.
Two true friends have just given me
the names of six malcontents, little chill
dren, so soured because l am appointed
organizer, they will not even form a
club in their respective precincts, and
are writing such noble advice here and
there to others. Unless they can show
some good work they themselves are ac-
tually doing for the cause, they insult
the intelligence Of those to whom they
write. Although their conclusions not
to do anything themselves are foolishly
