The famous and much -mooted repub-
lican dinner bucket seems to have
hole knocked in it, as there is quite a
lot of complaint about its deficiency in
certain articles of diet. Political ly-
ing and grating won't hold out. so l
guess the republican party will have
to trump up some sort of excuse to ap-
pease the dear people
Already they are blaming the trust
for the excessive cost in filling the
working mans dinner pail. OF course
the dear working man is silly enough
to swallow such, or at least Bro. Taft
and his cabinet thinks he will. It's a
pretty bad state of affairs when the
President has to run here AMI there to
explain the policy of his administra-
tion and to appease the people, but it
is col ] facts that the people realize by
actual contact and know the falseness
of his party's policy. Necessity is
the better teacher and Bro. Taft is a
failure this far as president. He
nor no other Republicans can ward off
the misery of the people without
complete change of policy. As the
population increases plenty will not
fill the store house of the working man
as it has done in the past. 1t may
boom for a little while at time, but
nothing permanent can be hoped for.
We must adopt system that will join
the world workers again to the soil.
In and under that kind of system
we'll have the most powerful and
patriotic people that ever lived.
Joining men to the soil also makes
them very Jealous of home and coun-
try. II we wish citizens of the very
highest order and kind we can have
them. Poor men are not under any
obligations to serve government that
ignores them as factors in the race of
life, men deprived of the very things
necessary to sustain their life. The
Republican party has taxed the neces-
saries Of life, and built up such colos-
perity of the land until the whole
country knows it is lie. Men leav-
ing wife and babies, going here and
there hunting work and finding none

published and taken from the lirs of
the great II ans at Washington
