you don't hav to go unless you want to

So Tawney is urgin' to put over to
future sessions the bill authorizin' an
appropriation of $2,OUOOW year for
the next two years for the purchase of
clothin' ard ammunition for the militia,
the bill that has the endorsement of the
National Guard association representa-
the national guards of all the states.
The salary grabber can allow four mil
lion dollars for palatial marble palace
for the representatives to loaf in and
can allow 81 policemen to guard it all
at fat salaries from the government
but when it comes to allowin' addition
al aid to the militia boys he wants II
put over. tell you never gigged one
iota in my honest conviction that every
dollar spent on our militia and soldiers
and Notifications and war ships is the
best payin' investment that Uncle Sam
can 60 into. I'd ruther spend more
now in gettin' a first class army and
navy and supportin' it rather than to
get into war when unprepared and lose
3 thousand times more actual money in
war expenses besides untold horror in
lives lost and MANNED and homes and
hearts broken. If only those bloated
reps down to congress would cut out
their foolish and selfish extravaganza
they'd hav plenty for what the militia
boys need and nobody feel it.

That awful fire in the suburb of
Cleveland last Wednesday where IFS
children were roasted alive in q two
story brick school buildin' under the
very gaze of their parents and friends
who could not rescue 'em is enuf to
drive people insane with apprehension.
There was only one fire escape on the
buildin' in the rear and only two stair
ways leadin' to doors that opened in
ward and one of these was locked.
Just think of the mob of helpless inno-
cent little tots pilin' up one on top Of
another and no way to let 'em out the
pile barrin' the exit more completely
until nearly two thirds Of the pupils in
the buildin' were roasted. It just

in danger every time they 60 in. When

This maxim hard times to order is
somethin' that can't be too severely
condemned and stamped out. A; few
of the big trust combines control enuf
capital and influence to produce good
times or poor times at the crack of
their whip. The interstate commission
has just looked over the books of one
of the big railroads and found the gross
income to run four millions right along
every month and net income one mil
lion right along and all at once the
road reports net income OF $25O,OOO q
month and train crews, engines and
trains were laid off right and left but
the books show that it's costin' the
road just as much per month to run it
as It did before. I don't wonder the
people get mad some times over such
manipulatln'. Last fall when the big
Wall street corporations wanted to get
up stink on president Roosevelt Tor
exposin' 'em and wanted to knock
down prices on stocks so they could
buv 'em in cheap and make untold
millions of profits they just simply tied
up the money market and gave it out
that there was none to be had and
everybody was pinched for it while all
the time the banks was burstin' with
money layin' unused. It's terror to
thinkin' folks.

That anarchist who tried to assassl-
nate the Chicago chief Of police the
other day is a sample of what is breed
in right among us thicker and faster
every mint. Farmer Ben has alwus
stood for treatin' 'em summarily. 1t
is awful to think of what we've lost in
the way of our best presidents by the
hand of bloodthirsty lawless anarchists.
If every one of 'em was strung up at
once as soon as they were known to be
real anarchists, the world would be SAT-
er and better. l alwus was raised to
respect authority. If we don't hav the
perfection of our laws then we hav
nothin' to perfect US. The idee OF
allowin' a nest of lawless vipers to
brood and breed and spout and hiss
and stir up hatred for the powers that
be and incite to murder and anarchy
don't set good on the stomick. | can't
see why Uncle Sam allows foreign
countries to dump such lot OF their
lawless trash on our shores to make
mischief over here. They ought to be
made to stay at home and the foreign
countries that breed 'em should hang
'em.

C. A. Hitler, a Democrat, is COM

that in 1904, when the state
first went Republican, the value
OF land in the state was $967921-

creased to 81 ,o4o,252 ,2S8. There
fore the increase OF value is $172-
