A Whopper.

The following extract is taken from
a speech made by John M. Thurston
last week at Philadelphia.
washington made our flag the flag of
independence; Lincoln made it the flag
Of liberty and Mckinley made it the
flag of mans humanity to man, until
today. on land and sea, the wide world
round, serenely lifted into the blue
empyrean kissed by the sun of day.
wooed by the stars, feared by tyrants
and beloved Of man, 1t TRANQUILITY floats
unconQuered, the flag of the greatest ma
ton on the EARTH"
AS specimen Of gradiloquent gush
this quotation takes the cake. McKin-
ley has made our flag the emblem OF
mans humanity to man." o, Lord, what
whopper. Ask the F1lipinos when fly
Ing from their burning homes what they
think of our humanity. Ask the Porto
Ricans how they regard 1t when taking
the price Of unjust taxation out of their
Astounding poverty. Ask the Cubans.
what they think about 1t when con-
templating the looting OF their treasury
by cowardly American carpet-baggers.
1t may be all right for the sun to kiss
our flag In broad daylight, but It ought
not to be "wooed by the stars" in the
night time when nobody is looking. The
orator got himself badly mixed in his
last brilliant flight Of eloQuence. Our
flag is not feared by tyrants nowadays.
It used to be. Time was when bloody
Englishmen. the most cruel tyrants on
whom the sun shines, feared our flag,
but they love it now and when celebrat-
ing victory the folds Of the Union Jack
and the Star Spongled Banner wave in
triumph at the head Of the procession.
Our flag Is no longer loved by the peo-
pie Of the world. Every South Ameri-
can republic fears it as it does the
plague.
Mr.. Thurston had better save his
plastic platitude for the defense of the
Standard Oil trust and give the old flag
much needed rest-Nonconformi

Are you taking steps to collect money
IN your different counties? Rule II
OF our state plan of organization says:
All campaign money collected must
be deposited with the local county
treasurer Of our party"
This is wise precaution to avoid
the transportation Of funds so COM
mon In campaigns. Human selflshness
makes this democratic decentralization
Of money necessary.

L. Us yet, you are unOrganized in
your county, or have no county treasur-
or, send me Immediately what contri-
button you can spare. The money will
be at once put to the credit and use Of
your own county, and you will receive
from me postal card receipt for what
you send, even II It be no more than
five cents. and the moment your county
treasurer shall have been appointed
this account and funds will be turned
over to him. Moreover, any such con-
tribution will entitle the contributor to
party publications, which will be mailed
to him.
