Wilson offered by the present contention the repeal
of the canal tolls exemption.
The discipline, harmony and efficiency with which the

constructive work of tariff and currency legislation have
suted the surprise of modern political history And great
surprise develops in the fact that having trumphed

subsidies and that split should be led by democratic
captains like Oscar Underwood and Champ Clark.

all men created free well equal that there's no p
vision the constitution requiring family to raise hog and
that hog in family is undgnifed and unsantary anyhow
But GAINESVILLE satecraf easily overcomes these ob;

every family be responsible for the raising at least one hoo
If you afford to bar from your family relationship hoe

If this policy of family hog works out successfully the
next step will logically be to require every Evansville family

solved
Far be it from to discourage Ohioans in their appE

that the high cost of living largely due payments
