Fellow citizens:

Fellow citizens:
That is exactly the way the profession
Il politicians work the thing.
BY professional politicians we mean the
politicians in the game who are serv-
ing masters; the men the interests go to
when they want an issue raised; when
they want to get something started and
when they want something put over.
The interests realize that if they were
10 come out themselves and suggest the
thing they want, they wouldn't get it in
q thousand years.
They have to keep under cover.
What they do is to have the matter
manipulated so that the people them
selves will be found clamoring for the
very thing the interests want, TO USE
AGAINST THE PEOPLE.
The way they do it is to give it a
party tag.
That's where the professional politi-
elan comes in.
He uses his pull in the convention, and
In return for delivering his delegation to
DOI0cDOOy lOT SOilcllilHgy BIl1 ilAAi4ICIA
conceded the plank in the platform
which some interest wants.
And there it is, adopted unanimously
by the party convention, so John Smith,
simp, who doesn't know that he has been
sold out, whoops 'er up for what the in
terest wants because ii has been given
the party o. X.
The farmer simply got the pumping
arrangement up so that it would invite
the enthusiasm of the boys, and the boys
did the rest.
The politician simply gets what the in
terest wants into the platform and puts
n up to the party enthusiasm Of the fell
lows who "vote 'er straight to do the
rest.
And these fellows never fail the pro
fessional politician.
They are his willing workers.
They get off their coats and pitch right
In. attending every meeting during the
campaign to whoop 'er up for the thing
the politician is putting over on them.

Iron Bridges.

Introduction of the semielliptical
arch in bridge building in England met
with complaint on behalf of the Tweed
side people. because the roadway over
it being almost level, as one old man
said, You did not know when you
were on it and when you were off 1t.
The first iron arch constructed was
made in England at Coalbrookdale by
one Darby. The bridge consists of one
semicircular arch. 100 foot span. each Of
the ribs being cast in two pieces only.
1t was opened for traffic in 1779, and
a new era In the art Of bridge building
was thus entered upon. Up to 1860
cast iron was predominant in bridge
construction. and although 1t is be-
lieved that wrought iron was introduc-
ed before 1900 1t does not appear TO
have been extensively used before 1860.
