Troubles of His Own.

Earl Griner who is employed at the
Park had troubles of his own the other
day. He missed his keys and after
hunting long time came to the
conclusion he had locked them in an
office up there. He hunted in vain
for screw driver all over the park
and at last when one of the boys did
manage TO get in the office no keys
were there. Hot, tired and mad young
Griner put his hand in his pocket
and there were the keys that had
caused all the trouble.

Only in a political sense can any
one even dream OF two men being

equality in strength, capacity, char

among men.
Socialism proceeds upon the idea
that equality is there, or can be put
there: and the effort to prove that
the idea is correct has been made
time and again and again. 1t was
not only tried among the Ancient,
but it has been tried in modern times
and it was tried by the colonists
who first settled in North America.
Failure, dismal failure has been
the result Of every experiment.
Why? Because Human Nature is

Farmers, Whiskey and Banks.

"A few years ago." writes rom
Watson in his Magazine for May,
"during a period OF great stringency
in the money-market, the farmers OF
the West and the South pleaded
with the Government for relief.
They asked that the Uuited States
Treasury lend them money at the
same rate of interest the Govern
ment paid on it's bonds. To secure
the loan, they offered to give a mort
gage on their lands, and to deposit
warehouse receipts for cotton, wheat
and corn.
1.-The proposition of the farmers
was rejected with a burst OF ridicule
and wrath which even now seems
Incredible.
"The whisky dealers were securing
a loan of many millions OF dollars,
annually, from the Government, at
five per cent interest. That is to
say, by depositing the whiskey with
the Government, they could use In
their business, for three years, at
five per cent interest, the tax of
ninety cents per gallon which was
then imposed upon the whiskey.
1.-The national bankers could de-
posit their property with the Gov
ernment and secure the loan OF hund-
reds of millions of dollars practic-
ally free of interest. That is to say.
the national banker could deposit
his bond with the Treasury Depart
ment and get ninety dollars in notes
to be used as money for every hund-
red dollars of bonds so deposited.
"But when the farmers asked to
have the same system OF national
loans extended to land, cotton and
wheat, the statesmen who voted
loans on whiskey and bonds could
see no good thing in the PROPOSE
ton"
