GREATEST PANIC EVER KNOWN

'The panic which began last fall is
the greatest panic the world has ever
known. This is u strong statement,
but mean it. We are not over it yet
Politics was the cause of this panic.
All big legislation in this county has
been dominated by trusts and big cor
porations in the interests of the repub-
lican party"
Nathan Strauss, who delivered the
above, is one of the greatest merchants
New York now boasts of, and in recent
addresses, where he was chief speaker,
he made the above statements
No words OF comment on the above is
necessary. The mad pride of Roosevelt
and the terror that followed has been
burned too deeply in the minds of the
American people to leave room for
argument.
But there can be no such thing as
panic under republican rule. That
party has not yet gotten over or present
ed an argument which would Justify
the panic of last year. 1t never will
anu never can, only by frank avOwal
that the panic came when it was not
expected, and that it was one of the
most widespread and disastrous known
in the history of free America. But
there will come a reckoning some day,
and the people will get what is coming
to them. The fact is notorious that the
trusts and big corporations have for
years past controlled legislation in the
interests of the republican party, and
they will see that it is perpetuated in
power the same as is the case now and
make that possible by a liberal con-
trlbutiOn given to the republican ma
, tlonal committee when campaign
comes on in order that this much desir-
ed result for the combines way be
brought about.-St. Joseph Observer.

The Decorated Pay Slip

Had the election been held ten days
prior to the time that it was and under
conditions as they existed at that time,
the democratic national ticket would
without doubt have been elected" said
Joseph b. Moss, yesterday. "In the last
ten days of the campaign wonders were
achieved by the republican organization
and one of the principal achievements
was that of the decoration of the pay
check. Hundreds o. thousands of labor
ing men in the United States when they
received their last pay check found at
tachcd to it tag which told them in
substance that if they wanted continued
employment and wanted to see the
country prosperous, they should vote
tr Taft and Sherman. This yelled
threat was sufficient. 1t carried away
the labor vote from the democratic
purity and left it in hopeless
minority"
Such politics may he all right, but 1
am a firm believer in the idea that
people should he allowed to vote as
their conscicnccs dictate. and | think
that every manufactures or employer
who rcsortcd to such unfair and cow
ardly means t" CoerCc his workngmen,
should he given term in the pcniten-
tiary. think if he were given a few
years there of hard labor he would feel
inclined on his release to allow his
employees to vote us they desire. The
decorated pay check was the backbone
OF republican resistance to the on
Siaught of what ten days ago was
victorious democracy" - st Joseph
Observer
