SENATOR sHAFRoTH's SPEECH

Senator John F. ShaBroth's speech
on the universal prosperity of the
country, made in the senate chamber
n. Washington, d. c., July 10, should
be read by every voter in the
state both male and female.
The senator proves by facts and
figures, compiled by department
heads, that aside from the furnish
ing Of war material. the country is
enjoying the greatest prosperity sea-
son from the foundation Of the re-
public, and deprives the opposition
party of its campaign thunder that
usually ignites the political spark.
He shows conclr sively IL at in the
marts of trade, the great Roosevelt
panic of 1907, that was brought about
by the bankers of Wall Street ex-
tended through the remainder of his
administration through the entire Of
tie Taft regime. and into the first
year of the Wilson administration or,
until Democrat c congress framed
and adopted the currency law that
saved us from financial panic at
the beginning of the European war,
and set in motion all classes of in
dustry that had besn stagnant since
tEat wantcn blct was written into
American history.
This speech, gsrnered from official
statements from government bureaus
and leading financial journals, should
be printed by the thousands and sent
broadcast throughout the land, as II
shows that under the careful and
guiding hand of Woodrow Wilson and
q Democratic congress, the country
has attained prosps rity never here
tofore reached in its history, even
exceeding the years Immediately fol-

ODE TO THE PIONEERS

The pioneers who blazed the trail,
Across sandy deserts and sun baked
plains
To found an empire in the western
wilds,
Are silently. though steadily passing
away.
Long years have passed, since their
conopy'd tram,
Dotted the lands, ape Of mountain
and plain;
But their deeds are written in let
ters of gold,
That will stand when their bodies
are covered with mold.
These pioneers dreamed of land to
the westward,
Laden with plenty of silver and gold,
And they braved the rigors of sea-
son and cline,
To uncover treasures, rich to behold.
These pioneers are passing, their
mission filled,
But their deeds remain, and the world
is thrilled
By the wonderful say of their BRAY
cry and skill,
AS they blazed their trail over val
ley and hill.
Then let US drop our silent tears
Upon each and every one of their
biers,
AS they silently pass from this
worlds throng,
To one of lasting contentment and
song.

LUKE MeLukE SAYS

It often happens in the same fam
lily that daughter puts in the whole
morning developing her hips and
bust, and mother puts in the whole
afternoon reducing her hips and bust.
Wien the seat of q mans pants
are brilliant he hasn't much chance
to shine in society.
A man may get into the house In
the morning without his wife hearing
him. But he never gets out Of the
house in the morning without hear
ing his wife.
Mary had little waist,
Twas porous, low and thin;
And every man that Mary passed
Would try to rubber in.
Some men put in half their time
being nice to other women, and the
other half in being mean to their
wives.
The man who gets married on the
thirteenth Of the month has some
thing to blame it on.
Never judge chickens or eggs by
the way they look on the outside.
hAh
There wouldn't be any trouble in
this world If the kisses men give
women were only as passionate as
the kisses women give other. women.
When mother tells father what a
blame fool he was when he was court
ing her, and how he used to sit and
hold her hand fer hours. father is
so tickled that he goes down in the
cellar and throws hunks of coal at
the furnace.
The girls are using SO much paint
that when man kisses one of them
no Is in danger of getting red
nose.
The churches have to ring bells to
attract people on Sunday night. But
1t Is different with the movie houses.
Every time man tells his wife
that he never lies to her he is mere
ly telling her another lie.

HUGHES LETTER
OF ACCEPTANCE

Charles E. Hughes, Republican
candidate for president, delivered his
letter of acceptance of this high hon
or at Carnegie hall, New York City,
Monday night.
AS was to be expected, he assail-
ed the Wilson policy in its diplomatic
relations with foreign countries and
pronounced his notes of high tenor,
but weak and vacillatinG He was
as silent as the grave regarding those
weak notes that spoke such firmness
of decision, that tire most warlike
monarch of Europe, with whom near
ly the whole of the civilized coun-
tries OF the east are at war and can
not quell, bowed to Wilson's mighty
command, thcu shalt not sink any
more merchant vessels with your
submarine warfare. His remarks re-
garding Mexico were along the same
line Of fault-f!ndirg, but he fail
ed to suggest a remedy or point out
a better way
He said he favored female suffrage
but like other Republican platform
planks, that were not made to bear
weight, tackled on this notice. OPP
position will cause you to wait. In
other words, we don't mean what l
say, and the Pankhursts and Bel
monts must take this sop in medical
doses
He failed to criticise the revised
tariff law. the banking law, or the
rural credits law that have brought
the country such great prosperity. and
from his speech We CLEAN that the
party is going before the country
with only the one issue. Anything
to beat Wilson, and let the pie
hunters in.
