A VERY HOT BUNCH
MAN FROM ARKANSAS ROASTS
THE UNITED STATES AND GIVES
THE FILIPINOS SOME ADVICE.

"You Flipinos don't know what you
are missing by not wanting to become
citizens of this grand country of ours.
There isn't anything like it under the
sun. You ought to send a delegation
over to see us-the land OF the free
land of fine churches and 100000 licens-
ed saloons; bibles, forts and guns,
houses of prostitution: millionaires and
paupers; theolOgians ana thieves: lib
ertines and liars politicians and pow
erty; Christians and chain gangs;
schools and scalawags trusts and
tramps; money and misery; homes and
hunger; virtue and vice; land where
you can get good bible for fifteen
cents; and a bad drink of whiskey for
five cents; where we have a man i'm
congress with three wives, and a lot
in the penitentiary fol having two
wives; where some men make sausage
out of their wives, and some want to
eat them raw; where We make bologna
out of dogs, canned beef out of horses
and sick cows, and corpses out of peO-
pie who eat it; where we put man i'm
jail for not having the means of sup
port and on the rock pile for asking
for a job of work; where we license
bawdy houses and fine men for preach
ing Christ on the street corners; where
We have a congress of 400 men who
make laws, and a supreme court of
nine men who set them aside: where
good whiskey makes bad men and bad
men make good whskey, where news
papers are paid for sbppressing the
truth and made rich for teaching a lie;
where professors draw their convic-
tons from the same place they do their
salaries; where preachers are paid $25,-
900 a year to dodge the devil and tickle
the ears of the wealthyl where bust
ness consists of getting hold of prop
erty in any way that won't land you
in the penitentiary; where trusts hold
up and poverty holds down; where
men vote for what they do not want
for fear they will get what they do
want by voting for it. Where mig
gers can vote and women can't where
| a girl who goes wrong is made an out
cast and her male partner flourishes as
gentleman; where women wear false
hair and men dock their horses tails;
where the political wirepulIer has dis
placed the patriotic statesman; where
| lllNll Nblt lbI a AulllB one uelN anu Nuo9
it 1854 days; where we have prayers on
the floor of our National Capitol and
whiskey in the cellar; where We spend
$500 to bury statesman who is rich
and $40 to put away a working man
who is poor; where to be virtuous is to
be lonesome, and to be honest is to be
| a crank; where we sit on the safety
valve of energy and pull wide open the
throttle of conscience; where gold is
substance-the one thing sought for;
where we pay $4,000 for a dog and
| fifteen cents dozen to a poor woman
| for making shirts; where we teach the
untutored' Indian eternal life from the
bible and kill him off with bad whis-
key; where we put a man in Jail for
stealing a loaf of bread and in con-
gress for stealing a railroad; where
the checls-book talks, sin walks in
broad daylight, justice is asleep, crime
runs amuck, corruption permeates our
whole social and political fabric, and
the devil laughs from every street cor
ner. Come to us Fillies! We've got
the greatest aggregation Of good things
and bad things, hot things and cold
things, all sizes, varieties and colors,
ever exhibited under one tent"
