~ -=OF THE DAY q
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Under Republican administration,
Uncle Sam is bled at every pore,
whether 1t Is millions for armor plate
or thousands on ink and mucilage. A
long lease Of power breeds extrava-
gance and grating, and what is need
ed is Democratic Congress to investi-
gate all the departments OF the gov
eminent, for 1t is almost impossible for
party in power to reform itself that
relies upon graft for its campaign
funds.
It's Never Too Late to Mend.
Governor Herrick Of Ohio has evil
IDENTIFY thrown to the winds his parti-
sanship for the Republican party and
has Joined the independents, or per-
haps the Democracy, for in his fare
well address to the legislature he rec,
commended about all the measures that
the Democrats have been fighting for
and that the Republicans have either
opposed or failed to enact This sud
den conversion Of the Governor for
good, wholesome reforms Is more en-
couraging than his defeat for Gov
ernor was, for 1t must lead many other
Republicans to see the error Of their
way and come over to the help of the
Democratic patriots against the hosts
Of evil. Directly Boss Cox was de-
feated and retired from the ring, the
good qualities Of Governor Herrick be-
gan to appear. Which only shows the
power for evil that these corrupt 20.
lItical bosses maintain over their fol-
lowers through fear OF personal DO.
litical consequences.
Speaker Cannon and his brother
stand patters should be called stand
parrots, for they keep on repeating
the same old jargon about "the tariff
must be revised by its friends" "let
well enough Alone" ''the foreigner
pays the tax" etc. The last statement
is not so popular with the stand pat
ters as 1t once was, since the people
have discovered that the tariff pro-
tected trusts sell cheaper to the for
eigners than to us.
