NOW WATCH IT SQUIRM.

Speaking of those who have criti-
cised presidents and their policies since
the days Of Washington, let US put a
few plain pointed questions 10 the To-
cal organ of imperialism, not that a
single answer is expected, but just to
sc it squirm.
Didn't the salt Lake Tribune, during
the war with Spain. say that the ma
ton was in the hands Of thieves and
inbecfle57?
Didn't it say that the politicians in
power-and they are in power vet
were mock patriots whose love for the
country and the. soldier is a sham?
Didn't it say that the conduct of the
administration towards the American
soldiers was criminal, and indicated the
presence of "a rascal high up in au-
thority''?
Didn't it ask what colonist of SpaiG
could trust his destiny to the tender
mercies of a lot of scheming polite
ians" whose purpose was ''to fleece
their own countrymen and everybody
else that fell into their clutches?
Didn't it say that Mckinley was "a
puppet in the hands of the Hanna
Platt-EIkins syndicate, whose notion of
national honor could be figured up by
a bookkeeper and settled with a GER
tilted check'2
Hasn't it told its readers for four
years that Mckinley is IAN agent of
Wall street" that this administration
is the product of corruption and the
enbodiment OF all that is vicious in po-
Iidcal kuavery'
The Herald charges and can cite the
evidence that the local Republican or
san has said all these things of the
present administrations administra-
ticn which it now claims it were sacri-
lege and treason TO criticise.
The same "rascals" are IL power. The
same corrupt influences control the adj

A Left-handed Compliment

Bishop Lawrence of AGassa chusetts, the
