tory to teaching Longfellows poem to
her pupils:
'.Now, children. we are going to learn
q poem today about some one who
works very hard. he Is very large
and has great arms that can lift heavy
things. His face Is blackened with
SCOT that comes from his great. blaz-
ing fires. And he wears dirty black
apron. and he has fire that glows. oh.
SO red. and whenever he makes any
thing he puts it into his 6re and then
pounds 1t with a great big hammer.

,hloh do not deriye their authorlty and

which do not derive their authority and truth therefrom.
 We hold these truths to be self-eyi- dent that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain ,naIienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights governments are Instituted among men, deriving their just powers from tho con- sent of the governed that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the peo- pie to alter or to abolish 1t, and to in- stitute new government laying its foundation on such principles and or ganizing It's powers in such form as 10 them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness;" that gov ernment by a class for class and of a people cannot have any permanency for it is built on the shifting sands of in- justice and oppression and will be abol- ished by the exercise of the last resort of the injured and the oppressed, the right of revolution and change of government Hence to my mind, the passing of or ganized capital Is sure. How, by what means, I know not. but it Is plain and clear to all who care to read the hand writing on the wall that unless the rapid strides which we are taking toward bureaucracy be checked that in a con- paratlVely short time, when recokon1ng with centuries as unit of time, there will be a radical change in the govern ment for 1t is needless to say that gov ernment must govern or it is a by word and n scorn. William w. Cook, author of Cook on Corporations" and Cook on Stock and Stockholders" begins his able article. '1ndustrial Democracy or Monopoly" 1anuary, 1912, McClure's Mag azine) as follows:
 '"rhe railroad and corporation question is still acute as 1t has been for twenty years. Today 1t is intensified by the concentration of railroad power and bank power in the hands of Wall street capital ists. It Is contest of political democ- racy with concentrated capital. The question Is, which shall control the na- tion2"
 After a discussion of the above question he finally reaches the conclusion tha. If conditions remain as they are capital will undoubtedly control the government. He next asks the question: "Will Wall street control bring revolution?" and answers it by citing the history of Rome in the following language: There, too arose the question of whether concentrated wealth with all the power it represented should dominate the government and the people. The proetariat grew in numbers The debtor class increased and became desperate. The common people became

discouraged. Then a few daring and interruptions men raised the standard of revolt. Caesar became dictator to restore order-and the republic was gone for ever" MT. Cook then asks the questions: Cannot the industrial forces concentrated in the hands of these vast corporations be harnessed and utilized so as to assist democracy instead of destroying it2 Can not the swift and resistless current Of consolidation be diverted from Wall street instead of merely being made tumultuols. as at present by feeble governmental dams?" He answers the question by sug- gestlng the device of a twenty-five billion dolalr holding company, with selfperpet- uating directors of the highest standofd and character and his plan seems per- haps more feasible than any. The ad- vertisement recently made in a want ad'' column of Washington newspaper, "Wanted--A statesman" while inserted in a spirit of jest, Is exactly what the na- ton needs. We are sick and we need a physician to prescribe for our sick nation who Is of the calibre of Washington. and Jefferson "Wanted--A Statesman"

Bankers Not Undesirable

From the WashlngtOn Times.
 Take a glance at the newspapers and note the advertisements of banks and trust companies. They are not appeal ing to the few rich. Their address Is to the investor who has only few hundred to $10000. The fellow with little means, the savings of a few years, Is invited to come in and talk things over before he invests.
 The banker is the financial doctor. the dollar expert. He is after business. it is true. but he is after legitimate business he is seeking to promote hon est investments, for he knows better than the man on the street that the greater the harvest of the financial crooks the more odium there is cast upon the entire financial world and honest banks.
