him in quickly throwing a hand car on
the track. While they we're doing
this they heard the freight train about
a mile and a half off. coming to what
seemed certain destruction, as the
wild" engine could also be heard in
the distance, with the reports of the
exhausts so close together that they
made almost one continuous sound

Certain papers with private ends

mary law. the very cornerstone OF
our popular government. You older
men know something OF the evils OF

many. 1t was the will OF few cor
rupt and scheeming rlngsters who
were in politics for the spoils Of Of
flee imposed on the many through
the slate system. The voter ratified
at the polls the choice Of a corrupt
gang who put up the candidates who
would be plant tools TO 40 their bid
ding.
DO we want to return 10 the con-
vention system or its twin evil, the
assembly? l think not. We have
shown our real progress by adopting
universal suffrage. That will help
solve some Of our problems.
Tax Burden Greatly Increased.
Two weeks hence you will be call
ed upon to vote for or against a bill
initiated by the same old gang OF
corrupt and scheming politicians to
revive the old system-tne assembly
system. Let US hope 1t will be buried
too deep for resurrection.

rect primary-which Is like believing
