Association to monopOlize the business. and
to force the purchasers of lumber to paw ey

His latest stunt, for the Trusts that own
HIM, IS his speech in behalf of the infamous
Lorimer, of Illinois,
Whlle member of the lower House.
Lorlmer was a devoted henchman of old Joe
Cannon. Never did he fail to vote with the
Rules Committee and the Interests. A more
faithful slave, the Beef Trust and the Cold
storage demons, never bought. In fact. Lo
rlmer was as Well-bought slave as was John
Dalzell himself.
In primary, the people of Illinois preferred
Hopkins to Lorimer. 1t was a cruel Oh ice

s1fequently, they decided to elect man that
they could safely trust to vote for any and

Lorlmer tllled the bill to a nicely. There

the Illinois legislature, to set aside the man
preferred by the people, and to elect this we'll

And to the amazement and disgust of all
right thinking citizens, Senators Bailey and
Fletcher, who train as Democrats, have gone
over to the stand-pat Republicans on this
question of retaining Lorimer in the Senate
Even the Rhode Island man, Aldrich, can
not stomach Lorimer; nor can such Republ-

Southern traitors are watching their actions

The sum total of English investments in
this country is e66O,00O,O OO-which YOU can
express In dollars and cents with sufficient ac
curacy by multiplying by $780,
1t you figure it out, you'll find that it ex
ceeds three thousand millions of dollars.
Interest on that, at three per cent, is $780,
100000 The average rate on those Enolish
investments may be three or four times three
per cent.
The combined investments of all other ma
lions, In American lands and personal prop
erty IS probably equal to those of Great

tive estimate when we say that we pay interest
to foreigners to the amount of S25O,OOO. 900.

that the missionaries made complete failure
SO long as they offered the heather the Gospel
You admit that so long as they obeyed the
Bible, and gave the heather nothing more
than IS offered to the unconverted, in our own
country, the heather were unmOved.
Y on admit that the missionaries had to 90
to offering brides to get "cOnverts.7
The brides consist of food clothing, music
lessons, literary education, medicine medical
attention, surgery, dental work. gold-leaf for

that number of paid converts to hold the thing
together, in addition to the millions spent in

Brother Heard, there are ZOO communities,

Men, women and children are suffering for
the lack of what we squander on the for
elgners of alien and lower races.
The mission methods have climbed to such
a height of extravaganza that each so-called
convert costs us 1000. That fact appears in
the official report of the Edinburgh Congress-
The Womans Board pays a salary of $3.50
to the lady missionaries; and every average
missionary family is paid S1,75O per year!
In the Orient, where things are so cheap
that is princely salary. It is equal, in pur-
chasing power, to the salary of U. S. Sena-
tor. 1t is more than equal to what is paid
the average Governor of State 1t is twice
as much as we give our Judges of the Su-
preme Court.
That princely salary is collected for these
pampered pets of the church by the poorly
paid preachers of this land, where the cost of
living is higher than it is anywhere else on
earth.
Every one of those missionaries has two
elegant homes, and a houseful of domestic
servants. They live in luxury. They enjoy
three-month's vacation, on full pay And the
letters they write home are intended to keep
the West duped, as to the real condition of
things in the East
Collaborating American politicians, keen
for the church vote, bear testimony to the
progress Of Christianity in foreign mission
fields. No other travellers do.

JACKSON TALKS
OF LEGISLATION

Little Rock, Ark, May 22.-Assis-
tant General Freight Agent c. H.
Jackson of the Iron Mountain, has
returned from St. Louis where he
attended banquets given to President
Bush, the new head of the Missouri
Pacific-Iron Mountain systems, and
to the retiring Vice-president Clarke.
Mr.. Jackson is very much impressed
with the new head of the Iron Noun
tain, and says he will do a great
DEAF for the Southwest.
NO railroad official will be able
to do a great deal for any state .
says NJ. Jackson, where unreason-
able legislation is all the time being
passed. Il would seem that the leg
islators would find out sooner or lat
ter that the people Of the safe must
pay for this legislation and quit MAX
ing such prohibitive laws. The
courts have all stated the railroads
and other corporations are entitled
to Just return upon their invest
ments, and as long as they pass laws
which put unnecessary expenses
upon the railroads, just so long will
those expenses have to be considered
before that money could be spent in
Improvements. The cost of litiga-
ton over rates could be applied on
service, equipment or improvement
Of roadbed and the people thus get
the benefit, and expenses thus kept
down to hand it back to the people
in lower rates, or in some other way.
Without So much money being re-
quired to be spent foolishly by ad-
verse legislation, it would take the
railroad much less time to get it's
Just compensation upon its invest
ment, and then the people would
come in. Some day the people will
realize this and then they will be
more prosperous
