doned city life for the quietude OF the
Ozarks to escape crucifiXion, is de

ton and the convention will be in the
hands of the politicians in the Demo
cratic party. men who want office and
power and who want to go as tho

make will ignore the money question

Democratic party and defeat. OF

better than what can be expected"
IN what respect do you think the
Democratic party In 1896 and 1906
was most deficient?'

his own weakness. We should have

work in the present period is the

istence of civilization. Civilization
may be put together so as to crush IL
self out by reason of its laws, as the
case of 1000 years ago when the Dark
Ages came from a cause that can be
traced directly to the laws, mainly the
law of usury, If not wholly attribut-

crimes. suicide. insanity, divorce and
