THE MONEY-FOX Is THE WRONG
ANIMAL TO CONTROL THE
GOVERNMENT.

Fellow citizens and American geese,
your Government is properly repre-
sented by the great fox of money.
The geese of the United States
have had chance to learn through
recent life insurance exposures some-
thing about the methods OF the money
fox that exploits them.
What the American citizen has
learned about his ruler, the money
fox above him, is just exactly what
the barnyard goose learns every
little while about the four footed fox
in the neighborhood of every we'll
stocked barnyard.
The geese, the chickens, the tur-
KEYS. carry on their little affairs;
they have their leader, honest and
we'll meaning, Growing on the fence
their Roosevelt-theyh have their big
gobblers strutting and gobbling with
great importance They feel that
they are running the barnyafd; they
have pride in their little gosling and
chicks and ducks.
The fox on the hill knows that the
barnyard is really his private perserve.
The fattest geese are for him.
From time to time, as necessity re-
quires, he goes down and takes what
he wants.
The American people are exactly in
the same position of the ordinary
barnyard citizenship. There are
many foxes in the money government
that watches them, smiles cunningly
and takes-not only what it needs,
but everything that the barnyard can
possibly give up.
It would be q good thing if words
could be found to make the people of
the United States appreciate just how
true picture this page presents OF
the farce called American Govern
ment
You know how the American geese
walk in front of the great fox
King, bowling down to him, getting
him to write articles on how young
men can succeed, accepting with RI
diculous thanks and praise the crumbs
of stolen money that he throws back,
looking down in his presence in hum
BILE awe, not moved or instructed by
the dead geese hanging up along the
wall ready to be eaten.
The condition of Government re-
vealed by the life insurance scandals,
by the trust formations and the trust
robberies, by the Ship Trusts schemes
that steal the peoples savings, is the
most discouraging reflection upon Re-
publican government that could be
conceived.
The question is this-are the Amer
ican people geese that can learn, or
are they like the geese Of the barn
yard, hopelessly, helplessly stupid
destined for all time to be the joke
and the food of the fox that rules
over them.
Every little while there are new
election, new men chosen, to repre-
sent the people.
And, every time the elections are
over and the result is known, the poor
geese that have done the voting dis
cover that their choice has been linn
tied to the selections of the monied
FOX. They find that they have got
excited, talked, quarrelled, voted
finally, only to strengthen the fox's
throne and make him stronger, more
absolute than ever.
The insurance companies, managed
by professional. financial criminals
IF the highest cunning. lemphasize
particularly the fact that money rules
in the United States.
To these insurance companies the
poor geese contribute their savings.
They deprive themselves, put by the
pennies carefully, then hand the
money to the big insurance fox.
What happens?
He steals what he needs for him.
self. He makes his family and him.
self into millionaires; he makes mil
lionaires of those that work in with
him and help him.
And he steals extra money from
those poor policy holding geese, and
that money he contributes to elect the
officials that will be most subservient
and humble in doing his work.
1t is pathetic thing to see . sly
fox dash into the barnyard, grab the
fattest Of the flock and silently steal
on: again. taking the dead body with
him. while the chickens and geese
look on helpless.
