River division Of the Chesapeake and

the Would-be purchasers to construct an

The Independent growing out of the

that His Mightiness is having ''trou-

a whining letter to. Postmaster Cen

that Wiltshire makes-that an organ

publishers by threatening their pound

Madden so persistently harnesses
newspapers of undoubted merit and
long standing, yet allows unlimited
freedom to a lot of publications up
in Maine that, so far as anybody has
ever been able to learn, never had a
Legitimate, bona fide, paid-up-with-

thousands of these papers marked

office every month, but it is extreme
ly doubtful if one person among Lin

that they pay a retainer to Harrison.

"The Nebraska Independent believes

Edition was surely a success. 1t now
offers rare treat to its readers in a
special issue for the socialists to dis
cuss their doctrines in their own way.
The followers of Karl Marx will sure

issue of July %. We would suggest
that The Independent give an issue

Turned the Dogs Loose

Editor Independent: noticed in
your last issue that Car Madden gave
the postoffice department orders to
turn the dogs loose" against The In
dependent. 1t seems very queer that
there is not single instance of the
postoffice department taking such ac-
ton against the plutocratic press or
papers, but always against such pa
pers as have the courage to express
honest convictions and whose con-
slant aim is to defend the rights of
the masses against the plutocrats or
the privileged few, and includes such
papers as The Independent, The Com
rooner and Wilshire's magazine and
numerous others that have. steadily
championed the cause of the people in
