accept him. The cause, we understand,
for the rejection of him was that he
was unsound. BY this our readers can
readily see that the recruiting officers

1.-THE money with which the Rookie
Teller Foundation was created and is
maintained consists of the wages Of
workers in American industries. These
wagesswere withheld by means Of &C.
.onomic pressure, violation of law, cum
ming, and violence practiced over q
series Of years by the founder and
certain of his business associates. !
Under the law as it now exists it is
impossible to recover this money and
pay it over to the equitable owners.
We therefore recommend that ap-
propriate legislation be passed by
congress, putting an end to the &C
Invites Of this foundation, wherever
the Federal law can be made effective
and that the charter granted by the
state be revoked, and that if the foun-
ders have parted with the title to the
money, as they claim they have, and
under the law the same would revert
to the State, it be taken over and
and used by the State for the crea-
ton and maintenance of public works
that will minimize the %deplorable evil
Of unemployment, for the establish
ment of employment agencies and the
distribution Of labor, for the creation
of sickness and accident funds for
workers, and for. other legitimate
purposes Of a social nature, directly
beneficial to the laborers who really
contributed the funds"

congress.
Garden, the Souris pen pusher,
wants the black sheep cartoon pub
lished again, but says that it would
have to be enlarged. In other words
the honorable E. L. wants you to un-
derstand, gentle reader, that he is
sailing under the new so-called
leagues banner. We arise to say
that that is some addition indeed.
Our readers who believe in demo-
cracy and who have been under the in
correct impression that Terrible
Turk" Teddy Roosevelt, Americas
four-fushing, would-be kaiser, is a
champion Of democracy r herewith
presented with some Of his own writ
ing which proves beyond doubt that he
wishes to have militarism established
in America after the war. The fol-
lowing is an excerpt from one Of T.
RS. Editorials" LET the women who
do not wish to see their men 60 up
against the cannon, see that hereafter
all our o are well trained in adj
vance," What more evidence could
be asked TO show the desire for the
establishment OF militarism in this
country after the war? That state
ment from the Big Biz mouth-piece
in Americas political field is entirely
to show just what is desired
and hoped for BY the great corpora
tions in this country. We are being
told continually by these same papers
which publish Roosevelt's TRADES that
are il this war for the establish
ment Of democracy and the abolish
ment of miIitarism. The reason that
Germany started this war was because
