Senate is the most extraordinary suicide club

He pointed out that there had been hfty
Republican Senators supporting the commit
tee and nine opposing it-"Nine only with
salvation free and fifty going to destruction!' -
He dwelt on the great work the committee
had performed.
Discussing the tariff plank of the Chicago
platform, Senator Depew said:
II believe if that plank had not been in the
platform Mr.. Taft would not have lost sin
ole electoral VOTE"
Senator Aldrich, in a short speech, said the
committee would not be swerved from it's duty
by the attacks upon it,
Indeed, this Senate is an extraordinary sui
eide club. So is this House of Representa-
tives.
Both Senators and Representatives are not
only committing suicide, politically, but they
are saving the expense of the grave digger's
work by digging their own political graves
before they commit suicide
"Nine only with salvation free and fifty 60
ing to destruction" said Depew. And what
Depew intended for sarcasm is about the lit
eral truth.
The next election for Senators will convince
Depew that he told very near the truth with
out intending to.
And Depew is apt to be one of those who
will go to "destruction" and miss salvation
free"
If he had only told us how many Demo
cratic Senators are faithful to the Finance
Committee gang, headed by Aldrich we could
come pretty near telling him how many Dem
ocrats will go to obstruction" and how many
will be with salvation free"
The Northwest is already awake as is evil
denced by it's sending to the Senate such men
as LaFollette and Cummins.
It'd l. q O. n
of Oklahoma, the people of that section also
have champion who is doing what he was
elected to do
With few Democrats, and nine fearless
Republicans, -Republican who preferred to
stick to their honest convictions rather than
be driven by the crack of the Republican boss
whip, things begin to look hopeful.
When these nine Republican Senators, and
the few Democratic Senators, return home
and begin to tell the people why they had to
stand together and obliterate party lines you
will see the people begin to take more interest
than they are taking moa0
When the people are once walked up it is all
off with such men as Aldrich and his Demo-
cratic allies.
The people will elect men who will be true
to them.
They won't care whether his party name is
Republican, Democrat or Populist
The Northwest already has it's LaFollette
and Cummins, and it will not be sac years be-
fore the South will have it's LaFollette and
Cummins in Congress.
AS has been told by the JEFFERsoN1AN time
and again, the South's and Vests interests
are the same
The East is antagonistic to both sections.
The East is the home of special privilege

nights entertainment to friends and fellow
citizens, Young and old. To sweeten things up
a bit, he scooped a pail full OF sugar from
some pile or other that was lying around IN
the building where he was at work This was
very wrong, and the Sugar Trust immedl-
ately asserted the moralities and the law by
swearing out warrant against this pilferer,
hauling him to court and having him sent to
Jail.
In other words, this employee stole a pin,
discovered it was sin, and paid the penalty,
because he couldn't help himself.
At the same time that the bosses of the SUI
gar Trust were prosecuting this employee for
stealing little bucketful of their stuff, they
were swindling Uncle Sam out of millions of
dollars by system of false weights and false
accounts and false payments at the Custom
House. These stealages Of the bosses mounted
up to nine millions of dollars. Caught in the
act, they compromised with Uncle Sam by
paying two millions of dollars Up to this
time, not single one of the bosses has been
put In jail; few of the minor employees have
been indicted and DISCHARGED for
STEALING by the virtuous Trust Though
their jobs depended on their doing the dirty
work for the Trust, as soon as they were
caught, the BIG THIEVES repudiated them.
The bosses of the Sugar Trust who stole nine
millions OF collars are men or eminent re-
spectability, of the highest standing, and they
are received with honor wherever they 60,
Monday and Sunday.
One of the places to which they went and
were received with honor was Washington
City during the extra session of Congress,
which is even now sitting. This thievish
Trust, which had been caught stealing nine
million dollars from Uncle Sam, had the har-
dihood to 60 to him and demand the perpet-
uation of the laws under which they have
built up an elaborate system which enables
them to plumber 9O,oOO,0OO Of Uncle Sans
people in pretty much the same way that they
robbed Uncle Sam himself When it comes
to very rich people, Uncle Sam is the most &C
commodating person on the habitable globe;
consequently the thieves who had so recently
been detected in stealing the nine million dol
lars, got everything they asked for; and the
Tariff Bill which will soon be on the Statute
Books is just about the kind of thing that the
Sugar Trust thieves want.
MoRAL:-It is dangerous to steal pin, or
any other small thing.
