two towns is a half mile of water and

day it was in session. Turn the ras-
Gals out.
Il will resign my seat in congress
if, before any fair-minded committee
l cannot show that the present ad-
ministration of the Philippine Islands
is guilty of the grossest forms of mall
feasance in office. Congressman
Martin, of Colorado.
The republican committee that has
been investigating the cause of high
living overlooked the tariff, trusts
and public extravaganza and placed
the blame on the Craze of women for
trading stamps"
The new tariff law has cost and
is costing the American people mil
lions on millions of dollars in increas-
i - gv~f,. . ~.
AldriCh bill had been beaten those
millions would have been saved to
the people. Senator Clapp, Repub-

The republican party appropriates
annually a sum in excess of S11 per
capita to run the government. That
means a tax of S66 to the average
family of six. And don't forget that
the republican party leaders confess
that they waste one-third of this
amount every year.
President Taft has signed the state
hood bill. But New Mexico and Ari-
zona have not yet been admitted
Their state constitutions must first
be ratified by congress and perhaps
two years of delay and many miles
of red tape must be encountered be

Mr.. Farmer. it would be well
enough to remember when vou go to
buy reaper to cut your grain that
you are required to pay the harvester
trust from S25 to $50 more for il
because of the tariff. How do we
know? Simply because the harvester
trust ships the same reaper around
the world and sells il in open market
to the Australian farmer for from
S25 TO $50 less than he sells it to
you at home.
Secretary BallingeT was connected
with the Guggenheim interests; Sec
retary Dickinson was Harriman's
chief attorney of the Illinois Central
railroad: Secretary Knox has been
identified with the steel interests;
Attorney-General Wickersham's prac-
tice in New York was in the main
from the sugar trust and other inter
ests; Secretary Naeel was attorney
for the oil trust. Turn the rascals
out.
Congressman Rainey on the floor
of the house Tuesday, June 14th,
made the following statement and
challenged a denial from any one:
First: That Attorney General
Wickersham was, at the time of his
appointment, a sugar trust attorney,
sharing in the fees paid by the sugar
trust TO his firm.
Second: He accepted his share OF
fees paid by the sugar trust for ser
vices rendered by his firm after he
became attorney general of the Un!-
ted States, the services being rend-
cred after his connection with the
firm of Strong and Cadyalader had
apparently ended.
Third That brother of the pres
idert OF the United States was and is
a sugar trust attorney
Fourth: The present general soli-
citor of the American Sugar Refining
company is former republican as
sistant attorney general of the United
States.
