colors and attempted to sell the re-
suit to the elder ReNroat, but the lat
ter declined. This seemed to be the

miration for the man, sying that he
seemed to have ginger, $50 different
from the country louts who drag their
feet with them"

received a letter from a man who
styled himself a lawyer. This epistle

be particularly attentive to me-" said
William R, xroat "On one occasion
she said she did not believe in too
close an observance of the conven-
tions of married life

mogull engine to manufacture their
ill-gotten gains millions of

find in the front page of the cam

1908 that these assets were OBJ
tanned "by all forms of inequity,"
ranging from the oppression of the
wage earners to unwholesome meth
DDS of crushing competition and de-
frauding the public" And we find
in President Wilson's speech accept

mission of the Democratic party was
ito set up rule of justice and right
in the adaptation of our banking
and currency laws to the varied uses
to which our people must put them,
and keep open to the whole people
the doors of opportunity. yet the
Glass-OWen bill without the Henry
amendments gives to a few reserve
banks monopoly over all the cur
rency and commerce of this country.
