THE DEMoGoaUEs OF CONGRESS.

little while ago John D. Rockefeller asked congress
for charter for the Rockefeller Foundation which he pro-
posed endow with $lOO0OOOOO with which promote
the welfare and relieve the suffering of the world The
demogogues in Congress pretended to in this Founda
ton grave to the country and denied the char
ter Later the charter granted by the state of New
York. and the Foundation is today actually carry
ing purposes The broad humanity and great fore
sight of the founder in establishing this fund is shown in
the prompitude with which relief unhappy
Belgium. In less than week after the appeal for help
made this Foundation had cargoes of food
clothing and medicine. 1t is stated that Belgium will
need provisions to the value of million dollars month
for six eight months. The Foundation without help
although assistance needed and will be appreciated is
prepared supply these provisions this unhappy
pie. Without it weeks would have elapsed before much
assistance could have been rendered With the thorough
that is characteristic of all the Rockefeller enter
prses the Foundation has representatives to Belgium
to ascertain exactly what is needed where it is needed
and how it be handled the best advantage In the
meantime the work of relief goes along without hinder
delay.
This is the country of great fortunes. Here be-
wealthy in year. Enterprises carried through
mmence scales. We know the advantages of great
of moneys when rightly handled This is also the
country of cheap demogogues who pretend
of great capitalist sinister motive Con-
gress is usually afflicted with demogogues proper
tonatey than any other body of men earth,
ALL MEN ARE LIARS AND ESPECIALLY THESE
The friends of Senator Newands of Nevada claim that
he did much the passage of the national recla
nation law. Other western states claim that their repre-
sentaves in Congress gave great assistance Encycoped
las, histories and department bulletins alcge that the law
was passed approved in 1902 In fact all the liars
and out of Congress have conspired together deprive
Idaho and her senator of the glory We affirm that the
national reclamation passed until 1907 and
offer in proof the fact that William E Borah was not
elected to the United States until 1907 1t is we'll
known that no legislation of any benefit to the west
ever enacted until after Senator Borah took his in
Congress. This is known to all and acknowledged
TO be true by the senator himself.
Senator Borah has been squming and twisting for
years. lie is in hopes that presidential nomination will
hit him and he wants be where these nominations hit
1t has kept him very busy but his friends in Idaho know
that he is in line Now this conspiracy the part
OF the liars They will do anything thwart the
senator in his ambition to changing the annals of
congressional legislation
Seriously, though wouldn't he be a strong president
and strong candidate who don't know from sun to
what he believes; what he will support; hs win
do? He would be great pickngs for the politicians.
