Despotism

But this is not the question in issue
between the insurgents and the leaders
of congress. That question is single
and simple, and it is this: Shall con-
gress govern itself, or shall it be gov
erned by, an autocracy? Shall the house
be free parliament, making rules for
itself, or shall it be despotically ruled
by the speaker? Shall it be so bound
that it can do no business against the
imperious will of one man?-San Jose

Peoples Victory

1t is a great victory for the plain
people of England. 1t will be a greater
victory for the plain people of America
when they, too, shall have subjected
their plutocracy to similar treatment

of lords" as to restore to the people
some semblance of the freedom with
which as a nation they We're equipped

Los Angeles goes on the principle

There is something suggestive in the
fact that John f. Fitzgerald was
