Now you know what condition
needs remedying.
The remedy is very simple, Fol-
low Spokane's example and dis
charge all foreigners that are not
needed, after employing taxpaying
citizens.
There are many reasons to back
such a step. First: Which class
spends the most money in the
city? The taxpayer is generally
a man of family, whereas the for
eigner is single, or his family is
in the mother country. II both
classes spent their money here 1t
would only be reasonable to expect
that the taxpayer would spend the
most. The foreigner sends nearly
all money, saved above living ex-
penses, home.
This conditions hurts local mer-
camille houses more so than out
side houses. II hurts railroads to
some extent, and very materially
hurts the reputation of the city.
Then, again, if poor workmen
of the city cannot procure work,
they needs must receive help, and
this will be drain on the public
money.
If there were no other reasons,
the spirit of nationality ought to
gain preference for the taxpayer
with anyone who claims to be an
American citizen.

And it's a crying shame when
men in public office lack the
patriotism to even try to cure
these conditions. These are the
same men that deplore the lack
of this very trait In the people

their pet measures. These are
they, when in business, who rake
people over the Goals for failing

President Taft is not without a
sense of humor have heard him
tell this story on himself. 1t was
when he first got into the running
for president business and had
strayed into Iowa on a tail-end
jollying expedition. With him
was a native of Iowa by the name
of Kinkaid, long, rangy and
well known politician of that
state. The train pulled in at a
little town and Mr.. Taft waddled
out upon the rear platform. A
head of him was Kinkaid. The
coming of the president-to-be did
not arouse enthusiasm, so Kn-
kaid reached for the nan nearest
him with the shout, Cheer, damn
you, cheer!"

Roger Sullivan comes very close
to being the rottenest and most
dangerous political boss in the
United States. l speak whereof l
know. His political origin and
the foundation of his fortune-he
Is now a millionaire-was a rotten
gas franchise, later financed as the
Ogden Gas Co., which he and Act
ing Mayor John P. Hopkins put
through the Chicago city council
by UNANIMOUSLY rotten methods. To-
day Roger Sullivan is not merely
the democratic political boss; he
is part Of the bipartisan special
privilege machine of Illinois. lie
is as much responsible for Billy
Lorimer as senator as any rotten
republican boss of that state.
Without Sullivan's help, Lorimer
could not have pulled through his
purchased senatorial honors. Rog-
err Sullivan sent mutual friend
to Woodrow Wilson with a mes
sage to the effect that Woodrow
Wilson must not oppose former
Senator Jim Smith of New Jersey
in his efforts to return to the SEN
ate; otherwise Mr.. Wilson need
not hope for the Illinois delega-
tion in the national convention of
1912. To Mr.. Wilson'S everlasting
credit be it recorded that he told
Roger Sullivan to go plumb to any
place he might like to go to.
