The Coming Man.

The Coming Man.
(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.)
o not for the great departed
Who framed our country's laws.
And not for the bravest-hearted
Who died in Freedoms cause,
And not for some living hero,
To whom all bend the knee,
My muse would raise her song of praise,
But for the man to be.
For out of the strife which woman
Is passing through today,
A man that is more than human
Shall yet be born, say.
A man in whose pure spirit,
No drOss of self will lurk;
A man who is strong to cope with
wrong,
A man who Is proud to work.
A man with hope undaunted,
A man with God-like power,
Shall come when the most is wanted,
Shall come at the needed hour.
He shall silence the din and clamor
OF clan disputing with clan,
And tolls long fight with purse-proud
might
Shall triumph through this man.
I know he is coming, coming,
To help, to guide, to save,
Though | hear no martial drumming
And see no flags that wave.
But the great soul-traval of woman,
And the bold, free thought unfurled,
Are heralds that say that he is on the
The coming man of the world.
Mourn not for vanished ages,
With their great heroic men,
Who dwell in history's pages,
And live in the poets pen.
For the grandest times are before us,
And the world is yet to see
The noblest worth of this old earth
In the men land women) that are
to be.

Now that fusion is dead we will have
time to devote to the true principles of
reform, which are the same today as in
1890. If there was any reason for the
farmers to organize then, those reasons
still remain. We think the sad expert
ences of the last ten years has taught
them the folly of placing hope of relief
in any political party. Had our chief
and only concern then been to obtain
direct legislation, thus giving the people,
not parties, the power to rule, we would
now have obtained all the reforms we
desired Will we now benefit by the
lessons of the past?

Now Populists can quit quarreling
over which of the two old parties !s
the most corrupt and agitate for the re-
forms once so dear to their hearts, but
which have been nearly forgotten dur
ing these years of unholy fusion.
The representative., 1900-11-15

If the fusion Populists had not run off
after false prophets we would have been
able to rejoice over the election of some
reformers before now AS it is we must
begin near the bottom again, but the
foundation of true Populism is well laid
and the building will progress rapidly
now that everybody sees that fusion is
dead

Transportation reform means that to
be civilized people we must have a
constant and large interchange of peo-
pie and commodities. To dc this in q
manner most beneficial to all the people
we must have government ownership
of all important means of communica-
ton and transportation.
