UNCLE GID'S LETTER.

Your Uncle Gid don't care to notice
every fste that barks at his heels. Let
them whine and bark Noise and
sound is all there is about them. OF
all the disgusting things I've ever seen
or come in contact with is that of a
man wrapped up in prejudice. Why,
he is worse than the most ignorant.
Some men vote the Democratic ticket
because they hate the Republicans.
Some vote Republican because they
despise the Democrats, and the Social
lists can't vote for either because they
are so prejudiced against the capital
ist. Prejudice sways them. Preju-
dice has fenced them in in their ignor-
ance and holds them securely and fore
es them to believe things they dom 4
understand or can't reason out. That
is why I've called them silly at times
What is belief politically anyhow?
Just mere matter of geography with
some owing to where you are born
whether you are democrat or repub-
lican. Take Webster, Calhoun and
Clay and notice how each championed
the cause of the section in which they
lived. Prejudice stunts the mind by
placing within it opinions without de-
veloping the reasoning powers.
Men should never form an opinion
from the code of prejudice, or seek to
influence men by appealing to their
passions. Men may believe a thing
and it may be true but if they don't
know why it is true it is prejudice in
them and not reason that sways them.
You know that great many people
have themselves so full of self and pre-
judice they cannot even reason on
what they profess to be in friendly
spirit Advocating a policy and call
ing human beings 'he-demons and
'shedevils" shows extreme prejudice
in its worst form, or writing long ar.
ticles in support of theory, calling
the four-hundred set ''red-combed
cocks, )" ''fussy old hens" and 'glos
sy- winged pullets' is another preiu
dical mode of getting followers. This
is applied to our best society. Sucl
argument is cruel, unjust and unchris
tian. Smirching character is murder
and no one would do it unless they are
murderers at heart. don't know
what anarchists believe or teach, but il
it is what it is represented the rip

mate between the two. / believe sucl

we Socialists are honest, and as to
spiting the rich, we are above doing
anything for spite, but if they are
spited (which they are) that is only
proof that the Socialist doctrine is
true. Now, it is only fair to me to be
allowed to ask you question, and l
am only asking it through kindess to
humanity and not through sarcasm.
Are you Democrats and Republicans

direful influence, again l ask you,
knowing these things as you do, are
you Democrats and Republicans hon
est when you step to the polls and vote
for their continuation? You mock Je-
sus whom you profess to serve. You
denounce pure manhood and pure wo-
manhood which you profess to uphold.
You are striking at the fountain of
purity, viz: Christianity Actions
speak louder than words. When peo-
Pile look on and see you step to the
polls and vote for the conditions that
breed the above impurities, haven t
the, right to doubt your honesty +?
Haven't they right to spurn every
form of your teachings, OF at least an
alyze it to see if it be true? Haven t
they right to set you down as a hy-
pocrit when you teach one thing and
then belle that one thing by an actY
! And this is what the Democrats and
Republicans are doing They teach
virtue and religion and then fashion
conditions through political actions to
kill all their teachings and every time
you step to the polls this is what you
do-you vote for the hell we are living
in and denounce Socialism for trying
to make this earth Paradise instead

No,I do not take my cue from the

to-day as ever, and we doubt if there
is civilized community on the face of

manufacture the greatest care is taken
to keep each plaster up to the highest

Allcock's are the original and gen

Druggists in every part of the civilized
