SOME REASONS WHY

publishing the U. S. Senate, by ma
jority vote suppressed it. 1t stands as
monument of shame to our boosted
civilization.
We have climbed the ladder of civil
ization from chattle slavery for the
blacks, to wage slavery for white and
black. The hard part of it is great
majority, who boast of such civiliza-
tion are leaders in the churches, and
will even rent property for any old
purpose. tell you, readers, church
enrolment will not help you one step
toward the pearly gates. You've got
to do something for ''these little
ones.
Prosperity of this civilization cannot
be doubted for one per cent. of its citi-
zens own half of the wealth of the
country, while fifty per cent. own
nothing. Yes, prosperity is on, and at
fever heat, for it takes three million
dollars day to run ''our" govern
ment under the great man, Taft, You
may know that he is great because it
requires more to run him. You may
know that prosperity is on for we
spent last gear about five hundred mil
lion dollars for war, and about three
hundred million to educate the child
rem of this country. You may know
prosperity is on, for girl will work
in match factory and receive 17c for
making one gross boxes matches, which
retail for 81. 30.
Prosperity and civilization must be
at it's highest for it requires only one
billion, forty. four million dollars to
run this civilization last year. That
is only about fifteen dollars per capita.
Don't mention it, the great man Taft
is at the head of it. He is wonder
fully great man. He met President
Diaz, of Mexico, on the border line OF
Texas and Mexico, and from what he
said of Diaz, he must be the next
greatest man in America There the
average wage is about 25c per day.
There they have many of..those cranks,
visionary fellows, who don't know the
prosperity is on here and in Mexico,
and are fighting like good men to ov-
erthrow President Taft's right hand
bower, Pres. Diaz. He is the man
who by the assistance of standing
army, murdered men, women and
children with bullets to hold his pow.
er in Mexico He is the man who
threw a man in dungeon and left him
to starve He is the man whom the
capitalists of this country, who own
great property interests in Mexico,
know is their friend, and consequent.
ly keep U. s. Army on the line tc
keep friends of the revolutionists from
going over to help put Diaz out Of
power.

Mr.. Wild West, want you to men.
