The above is the heading of recent Asso-
ciated Press dispatch. This SON of the great
est criminal of the present time, whose colossal
fortune is built upon violation OF every precept
taught by the lowly Nazarine, stands in the
presence of the misery ard poverty and suffer-
ing this greed has produced, and, "for pre-
tence, makes long prayers" No wonder he
needs policemen. If it were not so serious, it
would be ludicrous. A policeman to protect
one teaching the gospel of love and kindness!

FOR PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
Iowa Democrats Want it in Their Platform.

Iowa Democrats have only Que candidate for
governor, in the person OF Judge Anthony Van
Wagenen, of Sioux City. Judge Wageneu
would like to have the nomination provided he
NAV be permitted to write into the platform, as
its permanent declaration, demand for govern
meut ownership OF railroads. But he is opposed
to re.afirming the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms.
Those who favored the re-affrmation of those
platforms tried to induce Gen. ]. B. Weaver 10
become candidate, but he declined the honor,
saying that he was for Wagenen
1t appearslprotable that the next Iowa Demo-
cratic platform will contain as basic propo-
si:ions-
Government ownership OF railroads.
Municipal ownership of municipal utilities.

A SHORT time ago, some pork-packers were
fined few thousand dollars for en- erng into a

around and raised the prices Of pork to such an
extent as to pay the amount of the fines and a
whole lot besides. Nice system we have

this country any glriouser when
We boast about the war ships or Its
bully fightin men.
Just whoopin don't make countries
great, and wavin flags. guess,
Amt hardly all the people need to give
them happiness.
Dick Spears he used to rant and howl
about our rocks and rills,
And get all het up boastin' Of the affairs
on our hills.
He'd brag how we could lick the world,
if it should come to that,
And every time he seen flag he'd
have to raise his hat.
But that, as fur as I'm aware, was all
he ever done
To make this land the proudest that's
underneath the sun.
They say when he was sheriff here, he
stole and schemed to beat
The county out Of money-he would
ruther cheat than eat
They sold him out for taxes that they
couldn't make him pay.
And it made the public happy when he
up and moved away.
But for the grand old banner wavin'
proud and wavin high,
He was always up and ready for to
flight and bleed and die"
He figured that the army we could
raise here right away
Would be able to lick Europe in about
half day;

But he cheated Widow Ransorne out -
of nearly all she had. ~
So the Stars and Stripes and freedom
didn't hardly keep her glad
At every celebration, Dick was there ~
to tell the boys ~
Of the .heaven-given blessns the

He'd wrap the flag around him and -
nearly have to weep -
When he spoke about the brthright 49,
that was given us to keep ~
He'd tell them Of their duty to their
glorious native land
And mebby drink hard cider till he -
couldn't hardly stand. -
don't believe that whoopn or just
gettin' out to brag
About the countrys greatness or sa-
lutin' Of the flag -
Is all that's patriotic or does much to ~
make the land ~
We're Twin in more pleasant, or more
powerful or grand;
And 1t mghtnt be the feller marchin' ~,
past the cheern crowd ~
Who helps the most to make us good ~
and great and justly proud. ~
My notion may be foolish, and this fair ~
land of the free ~
Might bust If everybody was to take up ~
my idee; ~
But can't help kind O thinkin that ~
the man who works away
Treatn other people justly, payin' 80
