kia is convinced that it is a good
search that blows somebody wealth.
Sophia, an elderly woman, was sus-
pected of having liquor hidden in her

Instead of liquor the police found
Sophia sick in bed mourning the loss
OF fifteen years savings, amounting to
approximately $1,000. The police

PRINCIPLES OF PEOPLES

the theories of these crankS into operation are hail
ed as savorS of the country and, in fact are that,
but they are saving the country via the populist
route. AS the pofulist platform was not copy
rghted, they are not infringing their rights, but
all the survivors of the old third party will heartily
join in backing the administration to the limit "a
rose with any other name will smell just as sweet"
Lest we forget, the present administration has
adopted the following platform demands of the
Peoples Party, and put them into operation:
Postal Savings Banks.
Parcel Post.
Money issued direct from the Government via
the Regional Banks
Government Ownership of Railroads.
Government Ownership of Telegraph and

Eight-hour law for industrial workers in all
