1t is not good for society and not

Congress all responsibility for fail

vital Importance to the interests of

ly indicates the issue between
the common people and the multi
millionaires whose avarice and con-
tempt for law, if not effectively
checked, will in few years lead to
conditions unpleasant to contem-
plate. Though impetuous and radi-
cal, Roosevelt is generally right.

A Sermon Against SANDER.

Against SANDER their is no de-
fence. It starts with word-wlth
a nod with look smile. 1t is
pestilence, walking in darkness,
spreading contagion far and wide,
which the most wary traveller cannot
avoid; it is the heart searching hang
er of the dark assas sin; it is the poi.
soned arrow whose wounds are in
durable; it is the moral sting of the
deadly adder; murder is its sport.
The man who breaks into my house,
or meets me on the street and robs
me of my prop erty, does me an in
Jury. He stops me on the way to
wealth, he strips me of my hard
earned saving, involves me in diff
fculty, and brings my family to
penury and want. But the injury
he does me can be repaired. In
dustry and economy may again
bring me into circumstances of ease
and aff1uence. The man who, COM
ing at the midnight hour, fires my
dwelling, does me an injury-he
burns my roof, my pillow, my
raiment, my very shelter from the
storm and tempest, but the injury
he does can be repaired. The
storm may beat upon me, but
charity will give me food to eat and
raiment to put on, will timely assist
me in raising a new roof oyer the
ashes of the old, and l shall again
sit by my own fireside a nd taste the
sweets of my home.
But the man who circulates false
reports concerning my character,
who exposes every act of my life
which may be presented to my dis
advantage, who goes first to this,
then to that individual, tells them
he is very tender of my reputation,
he enjoins upon them the strictest
secrecy, and then fill their ears with
hear-says and rumors, and what is
wor Sc leaves them to dwell upon the
hints and suggestions of his own
busy imagination-the man who
thus ''f1ches from me my good
name" does me an injury which
neither industry, nor charity, nor
time itself can repair.
