And when they got the currency crop

law gives to the laboring men what we
have been trying for eighteen years to
secure for them-relief from government
by injunction-and 1T makes a distinction
that ought to have been drawn in the
beginning between a mans labor, which
is part of himself, and inanimate
things we call merchandise That is
what has been done so far in that line.
1t is the first time We have had Pres
ident who dared to lay the ak at the
root of the tree. Why did not President
Taft lay the ak to the root of the tree
Why did not President Roosevelt lay the
ak to the root of the tree? Because they
were leaning against the tree, and they
didn't want to lose their support. Presi-
dent Wilson was the first President we
have had who was free from entangle-

McAdoo and the Banks.
And then a few days ago Secretary Nc
Adoo learned that some of the banks
were not using the money that they had
borrowed from the government. He
learned that some of them, instead of
the needs of their communities, were pill
ing up reserves unnecessarily high, and

guess. guess he went to the Bible.
That is one advantage the Democrats
have over the Republicans He went to
the Bible and he found case that just
fitted this one. He found the parable of
the talents. He found that one of the
men who had received one talent, instead
hid it in the earth, and he found that,
according to the Bible, when the master
who had refused to use his talent and he
took it from him and gave it to those
who would use it.
/ guess that McAdoo said that is the
thing to do; and he just issued a notice
that if any bank got money from the gov
eminent and, instead of using it to help
the business of the community, wrapped
it up in napkin and hid it in the vault,
it must give it back, that it might be
given to some banks that would use it.
That is what comes of having Presi-
dent on the side of the people
Now my friends, l believe that the
sentiment of this country is overwhelm-
