up the huge electric gridiron in tht

Vice President Fairbanks bore the

Tho class in nature taking through
questions and answers developed p
logical connection between octopus
and Wall Street. Also that it is
true that IL money talks. President
Roosevelt must be the richest man In
Tho wcrl,I.'
The story that George Washington
threw dollar across the Potomac
was declared not to be nature fake
because Secretary Cortelycu had
thrown $20,0o0000 to Wall street
why are the ships going to the
