The Middle Glass Restless.
From the Providence Journal.


II is learned that In Paris there exists
an association for the defense of the
middle class. The association met, had a
banquet and freed it's mind. NJ Emile
Loubet. former president of the re-
public, was the principal speaker. and he
expressed the sentiments of the associa-
ton boldly not to say recklessiy. He
predicted that the time would come when
the middle class would burst its sand
witch bonds and make trouble for the
upper and neither classes. What with
capitalistic encroachments on the one
hand and the insistenee OF soeialistic ele-
ments on the other. the great middle
class has already endured too much
without protest The delegates applaud
ed NJ Loubet's heroics. They indicated
q readiness to follow a daring leader In
q new kind OF French revolution. While
no plans for a campaign were then and
there drawn up, the spirit OF the bour-
geoise was fired TO do something. Some
day Paris may be astounded by dem
onstration in striking contrast TO that OF
the red flag OF the man-on-h horseback.
That will happen, perhaps. on or about
the date that the Ultimate Consumer In
our own country rises In his wrath and
hits head where he sees it.
