Editor Caldwell Tribune,
Caldwell, Idaho.
Dear SIR
The Tribune comes to the ranch
regularly every week and has been
for nigh on to" 20 years, has except
for time when ye editor got off per-
haps by being led astray. l generally
when the paper comes glance over the
first page then turn to the editorials,
Here | generally find something OF
interest Was much pleased with the
editorial last week in reference to the
gum shoe brigade. They can't help
being tough layout for from the fact
their work is dirty, and a good man
would not take it up. Could not.
But The Tribune is doubtless off on
preparedness. I find but little senti-
ment favoring it in the rural district
with the farmers. / am aware of the
fact that the papers of the country
generally stand for it. They are but
trying to create sentiment in favor of
preparedness. This the Outlook of
New York City not only advised but
urged months ago and the Outlook
has kept up a continual fire ever since,
Goes to the extent of having the re-
tired army officers contribute articles
for the purpose. In fact leaves no
stone unturned. There can be no
doubt but that the Outlook people are
an intellectual bunch, and that they
are educated. The Abbott family have

the worst danger is over.

But we do need preparedness |
doubtless from the facts that face us.
We have builded the commercial in
terests for the last fifty years until the
best interest of the nation is bank
rupt, a crash is sure to come if the |
pace is kept up. But what are we to
expect. The United States has gov
ernment. But the people of the Unit
ed States have not. They have but
rulers. Rulers unrestrained. A king
stands over all his people. 1t is to
his advantage that the people are not
robbed entirely. l40 years ago we
overruled the king. An oligarchy,
small at the beginning, has grown to
great proportions. Note what one
branch of it, the banking, has done
in 50 years From $50 million to 35,-
900 billion. This only in one branch.
But, Mr.. Editor, you will doubtless
take exception to the statement that
the people do not govern. You are ex-
pected to do this. The Tribune is

The Tribune states squarely that the
people do not rule. (But negatively.
In speaking of the Democratic party
The Tribune says: "rhe party cannot
govern itself and consequently cannot
govern the country" The Tribune
stands for some political party to gov
ern There is evidently but one party
doubtless capable of government and
that must be the Republican party.
Now this is our present government,
just lot of political mongers. Com
posed of few rich men and bunch
of lawyers. Who governs there? The
means that we're brought to bear to
put them there, and public opinion
created by the various publications o'
the country.
If my deductions are correct, and
fully believe they are, then it is the
money back of the elections and the
various publications that govern the
country. This being fact. and the
further fact that we farmers have moi
paper in the land or money to buy
one, and only six per cent of us have
surplus, it cannot be said that W.
have any part in the government.
