sign many bills affecting the rail-
roads, to ride in private cars at
the expense of these same railroads.
i Words are good when backed
up by deeds, and only So" as you
told US, Mr.. President, i'm one of
your speeches last July. Ii is up
to you.
A little trick of the President :
during his swing around the cir
Gle was to give to the Associated
Press representative accompanying
him typewriter copies of his adj
dresses to be delivered at any given
point, to be sent out broadcast over
the country as the speech he de-
hvered there. That speech. as
sent out, was carefully built and
edited. 1t was not the speech he
delivered. however, by a long shot.
Mr.. Roosevelt said many things in
his speeches that did not reach the
people of the country. and things
he did not want the country at
large To hear. He was caught at
his little game by the Butte. Mon
tana, Miner. That paper sent a
stenographer to hear Mr.. Roose-
welt and took his speech down YER
batim, and it differed materially
from the typewriter copy sent to
that Office early i'm the evening.
He said many things of a rs s.ical
nature, and they were things he
would not want the business inter
estS of the country to get hold of.
for fear that there would not be
the same unanimity in endorsing
HIM for nomination as there seems
To have been lately. If this isn't
saying things on the stump that ne
does not say off of it, what would
YOU call 1t. IfthiS isn't approach
ing the game of the faker who sells
soap from the tail-gate of a wagon,
name il! That sort of work has
neither the color nor the odor of
craftsmanship. 1t is the mere trick
of politiciastro. If this be less
majestic, make the most of il.
Since the return Of the President
tO his little cheeSe-box Office he has
had several interviews with his
Postmaster General and he has told
him To get Oft the lid and let the
stink come out, The latter is go
ing to obey him 10y getting out of
town and allowing his SuhordinateS
To stand the stencil. 1t is we'll
known that Mr., Payne suffers with
acute indigestion and his stomach
is not strong enough to stand this
thing any longer. Those of Us
who are compelled To live in close
proximity to the rOttenneSS and
corruption emanating from the
PoStOtice Department donot blame
him. The investigation goes
bravely on" so il is said. but it
is remarked here that after all the
replies to Mr.. Tulloch's charges
are boiled down to the last ana lysis,
the only way in WHICH they have
refqtsd ANYTHING he has charged
has been h. calling him Nanother."
II is q noteworthy fact 10 be
horne in mind that all the replies
90 Mr.. TpNoch's Charge have been
given 10 the public with the excep-
ZION of the reply of Mr.. BriStow,
the Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General, The reason, iii followed
here, is because Mr., Rristow has
oorrohorated Mr.. Tulloch's charges
in almost every important partic-
ular, 1t will take Democratic
spade 10 get To the bottom of this
muck heap.
The American Society of Equity
of indianapolis has issued a bulletin
to the farmers of the United States
demanding an increase in the price
of wheat, arguing that the minimum
price of wheat should be 81 a buShel
and urging the farmers not to sell
