THIEVES, BUSINESS AND POLITICS

Now that the election is the money troubles of
the east seem pretty important. AS have said be-
fore the trouble brought on because some who
happened to be rich enough to get control OF some
banks used other peoples money to speculate with and
lost That made people afraid that other men were
stealing, and everybody wanted cash at once. here
is not enough cash to 90 around-so there was trouble
But back OF that was the real fact that the people
everywhere afraid that the big business
that have borrowed their money do business will be
punished for breaking the laws 30 they afraid TO
invest more money and the businesses do get along
we'll Many OF these big trusts and corporations are in
danger he president has said that he is going pun
sh every that has been breaking the laws and most
OF them have been doing this They may be made to
pay big fines. 'Of that will hurt them and when
they hurt business everywhere will suffer Pretty
there will begin to be less money here and then
will all look around to who has made the trouble and
see what do to stop It,
When that time comes people will begin to say
here, as OF them already saying IN the east
that the President is making the trouble because he IS
Furnishing the companies and men that have been break
ing the law. Most that say this men that
afraid of being punished themselves paid by men
that afraid OF being punished Watch out for them
The byesideRf is y3ehfl
The men that have broken the laws are to blame
in the first place. Any one that. Their break
ing them has made money for them but 1t has taken it
away from the people 1t belonged to- Perhaps not very
much from each person. but altogether lot and it has
come from all of So they deserve to be punished.
And tie kNu ii s0fH 40 yen and sOfle HfS 6ad is the
best thine can haze These have got the habit
they sOoNI be punished fer tear Of hurting ALL
MOI They will go right on, and in the end will lose
more than if we all turn in right now and punish them
even if it does hurt us 1t will and may
cost lot but il has got de done time, and the
sooner is done the less it will cost, Roosevelt is
right in saying that he is going punish 0hOevey has
committed the crimes. That is the way have law,
anyway and particularly that is the way to have the
laws administered now, when we have chance to cure
a lot of troubles and punish tie big There's.
And another thing-these that are likely to get
punished have great deal OF money and they try
ing to hurt Roosevelt, who has done much for all
They newspapers that they make lie about him, and
hire go about trying to make people turn against
him. and they hope next year to nominate Republican
for president that will stop all the good that the Presi
dent has been doing and let the trusts and corporations
steal all they get their hands And some of these
very have helped make the hard times and are help
ing now, in hopes that they blame it onto the Pres
dent and scare you and me into helping fight him.
So when you hear say that the President has
caused the hard times remember that the hard times
hardest on the who have been stealing from US,
and that they will be lot harder if something isn't done
about it right away. If all remember that, there
will not be any danger of the hieving corporations
ing the government for If we forget it, there will
be danger
