old world. If there must be an apine
of those blood suckers let it be done by
those who are not recognized as the
best that the American people have
produced. Leave it to those who mix
with the goldfish.
AS for retired presidents, there GER
tainly could be no disgrace attached to
them were they to engage in honest
toll. Men are made no better by having
been elected to the presidency. The
youths of this land should not be
brought up with the foolish notion in
their heads that it must be considered
beneath the dignity of retired presi-
dent to engage in honest toll. This is
not country of royalty, where men
honored with the highest office within
the gift of the people should be made tc
feel that after they have served
in that capacity their life's work is
over.

upend $4,000 to save the city fifteen
tons of coal and few gallons of lubri-
