the question it was particular to

are great and the great are small.
Home-The fathers kingdom,
the mothers world, and the child's
paradise.

grumble the most ard are treated

stomachs get three square meals
daily and our hearts thousand.
Home The only place on earth
where the faults and failings of
humanity are hidden under the
sweet mantle of charity.

1t is interesting to note how
beautifully the American people
are being done by the great combi-
nation trusts. For instance, the
same American concerns that
charge us 81 25 key for wire nails,
sell them to foreign trade for 81 80
key; wire rope cost us $500 a
coil; in Europe only $500; wash
boards are SO 90 a dozen in the
United States and $1.70 abroad;
sewing machines $40 each here; SIT
there; tin plate 81 10 per hundred
weight here; 1913 there; lead 81 90
per hundred here; 50 90 there.
And the trusts pay the freight over
the ocean to boot. Verify we are
an easy people, and go on electing
congressman and senators and gov
ernors and legislatures for the use
and profit of millionaires.

The Republicans are in sore
straights in the Fourth and Fifth
Congress districts for arguments
to use against the Democratic can
didates. These. candidates are SO
far superior in every respect to
their own candidates that they are
left without an inch of ground on
which to stand. The only acousa.
ton they have yet made against
them is that they are wealthy. 1t
is true Judge johnson and Col.
Chancellor are in easy circumstan-
ces, but it is testimony in favor of
their safe business methods, tenn
porate habits and economy. All
they have they have made by their
own honest efforts and sound bust
ness judgment. They have not
squandered their means in waste
full and riotous living but have
preserved it for their substantial
enjoyment and the good they can
accomplish with it. They possess
just enough wealth to make them
useful and substantial citizens, and
yet not enough to enable them to
accomplish selfish ends at the cost
of the public veal. Unlike some
wealthy men whom the Republi-
can party honor, they possess
something beside wealth. They
have ability, moral character and
responsibility, and what is more.
the confidence and respect of the
whole people, irrespective of poll
tics. What these men have accom-
plished for themselves is an earnest
of what they can will accomplish
for the people.
