garded, for the drainage Of our over
flow, the watering Of our semi-arid
lands, and in preparing such river
channels as are adaptable for naviga-
ton.
Corporations should be prohibited
from making campaign donations.
Free rural mail delivery should be
extended until the service reaches
every farmers home and fourth class
postmasters should be elected by the
patrons Of the Office.
There should be constitutional
amendment providing for the election
of United States senators by direct
vote; until such law is enacted each
state should nominate its senators by
the primary system. This will bring
the representatives of that body back
to the people and make of it some
thing more than "millionaire's club
and its sessions an annual appropria-
tion wrangle.
The state should own the segrega-
ted coal and asphalt lands.
It is the right Of every man to buy
in the cheapest market and sell in
the dearest Our tariff law is so
framed as to force the opposite re-
suit, and is directly responsible for
such monster trusts as the United
States Steel corporation, whose swol-
len dividend no one can defend as the
legitimate result OF its economics.
Tariff schedules should be readjusted
upon an antitrust basis, 50 that the
tax would fall lightly or not at all
upon the necessaries OF life and still
produce sufficient revenue to honest
ly and economically administer the
affairs Of government.
The negro is the white mans bur
den. Yet he must be dealt with con-
siierately and humanely, and with
that responsibility which a superior
should exercise towards an inferior
race; clearly understanding that So
eial equality is impossible. Seperate
schools, coaches and waiting rooms
must be provided, and will be as soon
as our people get away fro:n federal
interference with our affairs and are
accorded full seft-government.
so-called bucket shops, futures and
produce gambling disturb honest mar
kets, corrupt the morals and deplete
the purse Of the people. The govern
ment can and should break up such
methods and stamp out the vice as
effectually as it has handled the lot
terry evil.
The Standard Oil monopoly with
its policy Of running all comeptitors is
throttling our Independent operators
sucking out our rich deposits and riff
ling the pockets of the nation. It is
destructive Of popular government
and any effort directed only towards
curbing or restraining RS evil pro
pensity is folly. IF there is no other
way to break its grip upon our coun.
try the government should assume
control Of its avenues of transporta-
tion both Of the raw material and the
refined product, and take such fur
ther steps as may be necessary to alb

nothing; what he is, and can do, is
everything. Here where the blood Of

ever obliterated.
