Vampires OF the Nation

Q NMPATHY on the part of the people of

base attempt of certain Americans TO increase
the anxieties and add TO the burdens of
their countrymen by raising the price of
foodstuffs At least the soldiers and sailors
of the warning powers, in their efforts to in
fict injury, expose themselves to the danger
of woundng and death, while even their
rulers stand to lose much of that in which
they take national and dynastic pride; but

fancied security from Interference have
everything to gain and nothing to lose from

Foraker Defeated

THE defeat OF former United States Sena-
tor Foraker this week in the Republican
senatorial primaries in Ohio was not unex-
nected. Foraker represented past age,
ideas and ideals now consigned to tho scra

even worse than many others OF his time, but
his times gone. Men In public life to-
day must he free of all entangling alliances ;
they must be free of connection with big
private enterprises while serving the nation !;
they must choose between one of two masters
They cannot serve both. So Foraker was
defeated.
