hallowed precincts have, however, been de-
filed By alien enemies who would set up IN
our venerated shrines those gods OF silver

materialistic Kultur. Il is widely believed
that as long ago as the professedly friendly

vile conspiracy 70 Prussianize our institutions
was hatched and it has been growing stead

Importance The American failure can
not ne charged TO a few or to one; If some
have led. millions have followed; the ma
ton has done the easy thing, not the brave
thing; the failure has been general. not
particular. There can be no atonement. no
amendment, until millions Of American
men and women unite in the resolve 20
follow at all costs and TO any goal the
principles and the ideals which come TO us
from the Revolution and the Civil War,
come TO us out Of a noble past, the heri-
tage from men who proved their faith on
battlefield, in the wilderness and amidst
the privations Of the ruder times.
They saw. not America first, but Amer
lea right; they dreamed, not of time
when all men should be prosperous, but of
an age when all men should be free and
their own nation the servant Of freedom
and democracy the world over. Their
dream. their hope, is written large in all
their deeds, and their deeds have exer-
cised a great and noble influence upon the
destinies of mankind throughout the whole
world. America has had meaning and
a message beyond the seas and wherever
men suffered from tyranny and injustice.
Millions of men have heard Of the country
beyond the seas where there was freedom
and Justice. and have journeyed over the
oceans and through the mountains that
they might come at last TO the land where
those things which were with them a
dream were, indeed, fact.
If America means anything, if the
United States at the end OF nearly CEN
tury and a half Of separate existence
means anything, it means what the men
of Lexington and Concord and Bunker
Hill, Of Valley Forge and Saratoga and
Yorktown, dreamed that it should mean.
| 1t does not mean dollars, ease, ignoble liv-
ing and selfish thinking; it means will
and a resolve to serve in the world-to
serve that cause which was the cause of
those Americans who gave all they had or
hoped TO have in the years that are gone,
that their children and their children's
children and the children of all races
might find the world a fairer place to live
in. a better and nobler place, because
of their sacrifice and their devotion.
If America, if the United States, does
not now mean this, it means nothing. In
recent months it has not meant this, and
Americans have turned their backs upon
all that was noble and enduring in the
past; they have failed in a duty and been
false to trust. But already there are
unmistakable signs that the hour Of weak
ness and shame is passing and that a new
spirit, which is the old spirit, is once
more abroad in the land. It is the belief
chat this spirit is alive again, that it will
prevail, that gives the New Years holi-
day its real and its only meaning

legislature has got to watch out
for is to insure equality and pre-
vent discrimination against our
farmers by writing ironclad pro-
visions in the tay bill for COM
polling all the big public service
corporations to list ALL the units

porations to value their property
UP ON THE SAME LEVEL of
per cent that individuals value

quickly write tan law that will
easily reach ALL property of our
farmers. because all theirs is out
in the open and easily seen, but
it will take experienced men and
men absolutely loyal to our peo-
pie TO write a tax law that will
insure the big corporations list
ing ALL their property, all their
units of property and valued up
on a level with the way farms
are valued. Farmers are dis
eliminated against if this isn't
done. And the farmers are bear
ing that part of the load that the
railroads are Striking from!
If the present state of affair
were reversed, and we had a
situation where farmers were
listing their property at twenty
five per cent of its true value,
and the railroads were listing
theirs up to sixty and seventy
per cent, then | would be fight
ing for justice and equality for
the railroads by compelling the
farmers to raise theirs upon
level with railroads: but as it is
not that way, but rather that
the farmers are listing their
farms at sixty and seventy per

their property in these years
we've sued on way down to.
twenty-five per cent of their true
value, we are now fighting to

honestly as to the particular tax

SAID franchises true value. Our
suits are seeking to rectify this
inequality in favor of these rail-
roads, by compelling the rail-
roads to first list ALL their
property, like farmers have to
do, and then for these railroads
to he compelled 10 list their
property UP ON A LEVEL with
the per cent that individuals
real estate is valued at. In the
name of justice, ought not this
to be done? If only this is done
in these cases, then we can put
several millions of dollars in the
treasures of the state. towns
and counties through which all
these railroads run.
In our cases, the trouble with
all these railroads is that they
did not report ALL their property
to the state auditor. If a farmer
fails to report the full number of
his acres, or the full number of
his horses or the full number of
his dollars in bank, then the au-
thorities promptly jump that far
mer and compel him to pay taxes
and even penalty on all that
omitted property from his list.
IOur cases seek to compel that
same treatment to railroads on
all the property they have omit
ted. Certainly no one will have
the gall to say that shouldn't be
done. Certainly farmers will
not be compelled to list ALL
their property and allow rail-
roads to list only a PART of
theirs. Verify, our people will
not stand for any such rank dis
elimination,

/ As 70 THE MONEY DUE YOUR
COUNTY.
Based upon certain investiga-
tons by me. the state authori-
ties have some suits now pending
in the courts here and elsewhere
against the l.. Il n. Railroad, the
&c. & O. Railway, the Southern
Railway, The Illinois Central,
the Southern Pacific, etc., for
several millions of dollars that
these roads owe for ommitted
franchise taxes to the state and
towns and counties through
which they run, by reason of
these roads emitting part of
their net income in their reports
to the state, their units of prop
erty upon which a railroads
franchise tax is figured.
A goodly part of this money is
coming to your town and county:
that is, your proportional part,
on account of one of these roads
running through your town and
county. It will be a nice amount
for your people, and it is my pur-
pose to get your people and
officials back of these suits. like
the enclosed newspaper clipping
shows other people in other coun-
ties are already doing. for in
union there is strength" In
deed, it is highly just that your
county should get back of suits
thGt your county has 4 big in
tereSt in.
corrupt interests to be set in mo-
ton through the executive office.
That certain corrupt politicians
have wasted upon the Governor
on numerous occasions to have
him designate certain specified
Judges to try the case, ought to
arouse in the mind of the Cover
nor a serious suspicion that an
attempt was being made to make
him an accessory before the fact
to the crime The people are
being warned of all this, and a
careful tabulation is kept upon
the movementa of these gentle
men. The public is going TO
know all about it; and these cor
ruptionist who think that they
may lay their putrid hands upon
the ballot box and wrench from
the people their inalienable rights
and set up the rejected in the
place of the elected, had as well
make up their minds that they
will not be able to put the deal
over.
Judge Sampson will take the
oath of Office the first Monday in
January, and will enter upon the
duties of the office of Judge of
the Court of Appeals from the
Seventh Appellate District. The
people nominated him, and they
are stronger for him now than
on the day of the primary, be-
cause of the wrong that has been
done him. If the race should be
run over he would beat Kirk ten
to one. He has been acting the
man. while Kirk has been play
ing the baby act.
The plan laid by these crooks
was to get the Governor to desig-
nate some man as trial Judge who
was a PARTISAN of Kinks and who
would not regard the law nor his
oath, and thus perpetrate the
rape. They still hang their hopes
on this peg, but disappointment
