If Mckinley has really given it an
uppercut | admire him for it.
I'd like to have "snap shot" of
those Tacoma women who have es-
chewed finery. I'll bet the lilies-of-the
valley are fools alongside of them.
The Standard Oil Co., having ac-
quired valuble coal mines in Alaska
are about to open mines there. There
is nothing small about the s. O. COM
pany.
sixteen to one will be the rallvino
cry" Yep, and Johnny will get his
(pop) gun" and Billy his pea-shooter
and a desperate and sanguinary CON
tlict will ensue
Ex-senator PETER has returned to
the republican fold and is impatiently

gans are weaving his erstwhile ridicu-
lous whiskers into halo.
Where's your right to a speedy and
impartial trial by jury of your peers?

"More money, less taxes and no

get the money, the people will pay
the taxes and as for the trusts it will
be "a change OF name with no change

History records no more brazen and
malicious attempt on the rights of the

You bet the Sons of the American
