DEMOCRATIC PROGRESS
w. S. Morgan.

election it's speakers and it's plat
form promised the people all
kinds of relief, and especially pro-
lection from the oppression of
railroad and bank extortion. and
from the graft of the manufac-
turers.
The Democrats have had full
power now in both the House and
Senate for two years.
In this short time the big busi-
ness corporations have been
granted concessions which had
been refused them even under
the corrupt administrations of
their predecessors.
They have extended to the
banks additional special privi-
leges in the circulation of en-
ergency currency.
They have granted permission
to. the railroad, corporations to
raise their rates, which were al
ready much too high when we
consider the amount Of watered
stock-fcticious capital-in those
enterprises.
And now, Woody, Billy and
the whole bunch have decided
that the wholesale slaughter in
Europe is glorious opportunity
for American citizens to reap a
harvest Of profits, and that we
ought to feed, clothe and arm it
SO as to prolong the struggle and
increase our profits.
Oh, Woody! Wherefore that
National prayer meeting which
you called to pray for peace?
Oh, Billy! For what purpose
are those lectures on "The Prince
of Peace?
Before the election Woody
made great promises, and plenty
of them.
After election he made threats
and swore by the Great Ge-hos-o-
phat that he would make good
his promises to the people.
He scolded like skinny school
Ma m in a backwoods "district. .
But the "Big Business" lords,
like Uncle Remus' rabbit, lay
low an say muffin.
And so it came time for Woody
to take the swear; and he did.
And when he had set upon his
thone he began to swat about
him.
And behold the smoke ceased
to issue from the great factories
The wheels stopped.
And so did the salaries OF the
workingmen.
Their jobs were taken from
them, even as the funny boy who
with a long string draweth away
the purse which he has placed
on the sidewalk, on April 1st, t.
fool the innocent who passetl
that way and who would tai1
pick it up.
And Woody saw that the own
ers of the factories also owned
the jobs Of the men and wome1
who worked therein.
And Woody, howbeit he was
man of much learning, knew no
that when he swatted the grea
corporations, whose surname
Big Business, he also swatted tn
toilers therein.
But it was so.
And the lamentations OF tn
1obless reached his ears and h

One thing that consoles me
when [ remember what fool

membrance of the fact that [

Say what you please about J. P.
Morgan, but one thing is certain
he ain t any hypocrite. [ used
to think he was, but his recent
. confession on the witness
stand changes all that. He comes
right out fiat with it and admits
that he knows nothing and cares
less about the condition Of the
poor so long as he can scoop in
the millions for himself. Now
that s more like it. When a wolf
pulls off his sleeps clothing we

as he grew old, turned his mind very
much to things religious and sacred.
The mystery OF the world, of life OF
the soul weighed heavily upon him.
There was much wickedness and
much sin for good men to combat,
and Mr.. Duke thought deeply upon
the subject of the direction III which
his own course of true endeavor
should lie.
Thinking very earnestly one day he
rode his saddle mule into the Cum

animal stopped to drink he Stacked
the bride rein and gazed abstract

water is clear-and one very unusual
thing.
