So Joe Cannon, the autocrat speaker.
says that its nifty hard to get rid OF
Roosevelt. You bet it is so fur as the
people is concerned. Cannon has
fought the Roosevelt policies right
thru. He held off on the wood pulp
investigation and the anti.injunctlon
prop and amendin' the Sherman anti.
trust act and other of Roosevelt's sug-
gestions and he is tickled to death that
the president is going to step out soon.
And Tawney is one of Cannon's serv-
lie followers and the talk is that Can
non will be put back as speaker agen
to block Roosevelt legislation. How
much longer is the people goin' to
stand this kind of thing? Its a fright
and a shame that misrepresentation
can get reelected who hav gon clean
back Oh the constits and the rights and
interests of the masses. Just think OF
the first deestrict bein' quoted down to
Washington as backin' up Cannon
when his name is held in such disgust
and disdain. Every Roosevelt supports
er ought to take hand in cleanin out
Cannon and his lickspittles.
o o. d
declare Just when get to hope
that they're gettin' airship that will
work and be safe and manageable ev-
erything goes to smash. ThatZep-
pelin wonderful ship in Germany start
ed out with high show but the wind
storm and lightning knocked it into
nothin' in mint. I've alwus figgered
that Id ruther be on terra frma than
where can't get hold of somethin' in
time of tornado and storm. 1t looks
like when you sail thru the air you
amt got nothin' to tie up to that is
substantial and firm located. amt
seen any airship yet that I'D trust my
family in to go to Yurop in. Ispose
they're, gettin' 'em better all the time
so they can be used to advantage in
spyin' and war and fad trips If ever they
get useable so they can sail over the
enemy's camp and drop booms down
it'll be good bye to all old idees of blot.
TIM out the enemy. We won't hav TO
Iono hord v,arohir,o opd forto on1 orr,
les but just drop dynamite on 'em.
I'm nifty interes ted in this pure food
prop. 1t looks like when we buy stuff
we ought to know that we are gettin>
what's clean and pure and healthy and
genuine. I'm glad the government is
maxim 'em print on the labels just
what's inside so if buy maple sugar
or bakin' powder or canned chicken or
anything else can know that I'm get
tin what pay for and unadulterated.
There's millions ben made by truckin'
off cheap and harmful adulterants for
the real thing. The public ought to be
pertected.I tell you reckon most of the
dispesy and stomach trouble and ap.
pendicitis and all such ills come from
improper stuff we put into our stom-
icks. There's no reason why the handy
preservatives that keep canned stuff 50
nice won't have the same picklin' and
preservin' influence on the Innings of
the stomick so that they get hard and
tough and stiff and inactive and then
dyspepsy comes. When we get back
to pure food all along the line we'll be
healthy.
Senator Allison died suddenly of old
age complications at his home in Du-
buque Tuesday night and it sets lots
of thinkin' afloat. He's ben half dead
for years and last winter in congress
showed weakenin' of his mind. Yet
the politicians kept this old man, 79
years old, in congress where he had
been for about fifty years for the sake
of holdin' somebody else out. Now this
amt sayin' a word agenst Allison.
He's been loyal and active even if a
standpatter but he ought to hav step.
ped down and out fifteen years ago ia
make room for new blood. There's no
sense in keepin' a lot Of old shaky weak
rotten timber IN congress. There ought
to be new deal and a new set every
little while. After man has ben there
three or four terms he ought to be
kicked out if he won't pull out. The
new broom sweeps clean. Men like
Tawney who grow away from their
constits get SO they're worthless in con.
gress. Rotation in offs is the correct
rule.
Say, but that man Taft has got lots
of good oratorical idees in his head !.
