Interior motives, he gradually

Intelligent discussion.
But while ss.e conservative can

A Problem OF the War.
Then came our entry into the war
when, as a war necessity, the gov

telegraph lines and the telephones.
This angered the monopOlists be-
yond measure. While they had To
confess the inability Of private
management to meet the exigencies
of the war, they saw at once that
they had to meet the issue between
private monopoly and government
ownership. From that moment the
fight was on in earnest, and govern
ment ownership was the point oil

Address

One day, when Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy. the nice muskrat lady
housekeeper. had finished giving
Uncle Wiggily his breakfast in the
hollow stump bungalow. there came
a knock at the door. Uncle Wig
gily's pink. twinkling nose turned
rather white.
DO you suppose that could be
the Pipsisewah after me SO carry
in the morning." he asked Nurse
Jane.
Nonsense" laughed the musk
rat lady. The Pip, bold and bad
as he Is, never would dare to knock
to the family. 1t must be one OF
the neighbors."
"All the same. said Uncle Wig
gily. as Nurse Jane left the table
to go to the front hall. "all the
same j wish l had made one OF
those button buzz saw buzzers. such
as Buddy, the guinea pig boy, mad

good to have some skin tickled off

bit gentleman. why. l didn't
know Brighteyes had an auto?"
Just look" said Nurse Jane, still
laughing.
Uncle wiggily looked from the
window and saw the little guinea
pig girl out in front with an old
baby carriage. Brighteyes sat in 1t
as big as life. with some curly car
penter shavings around her neck to
make believe they were stylish
summer furs.
We'll, never" exclaimed Uncle
wiggily. and he smiled so that his
pink nose twinkled like the cherry
on top of an apple dumping.
"Hoo-oo, Oh. you Uncle Wiggi-
ly! Come on out and take ride
invited Brighteyes. waving her
paw at the rabbit gentleman as she
saw him at the window. Come
take a ride in my auto"
DO you call that an auto?" asked
Uncle Wiggily, as he hoped out on
the porch with his red. white and
blue striped rheumatism crutch.
Il make believe it is an auto"
said Brighteyes. 1T goes down hill
as fast as anything. And on the
level paths all have to do to make
it go is to stick one paw out and
push. OF course. l cant go up hill.
but it's something to ride down, 1

so it is" said Uncle Wiggily.
But how do you steer your baby
carriage auto. Brighteyes?"

made over into an auto. 1t had
sofa cushions in like Uncle Wiggi-
ly's airship. and when the bunny sat
beside the little guinea pig girl she
just stuck one paw out, pushed on
the ground, and off went her auto.
Doesn't my auto go nicely?''
asked Brighteyes. as with her paw
she pushrd-it~rfonEt the level path
in the woods.
Fine" answered Uncle wiggily
II did not know you were so clever.
BriGhteyes. 1t goes almost as fast
as my motor boat"
''Oh, but you should see II go
down hill" cried Brighteyes. We
are coming to a hill now. Well
whiz down without pushing in a
minute"
Surely enough they came to a hill.
Down the slope started Brighteyes
and Uncle Wiggily in the baby car

to push with her paw now. Faster
and faster they went. Faster ano
faster!

All over the ground they were

for they fell on the sofa cushions.

Bryan Says Predatory Interests Are Struggling
Hard to Control Both Great
Political Parties. So

, fairly, by an open, honest statement

Inent in every branch thatth power

They want the President because

necessity of having two-thirds of
both Houses preponderance they
cannot hope to secure. They also
want a President who will tara the
Federal Reserve System over to
Wall Street and put friends of the
railroads on the Interstate Com
merce Commission and Supreme
Bench.

They want a Senate that can pre-
vent any interference with the am
billions of monopolies, profiteers
and exploiteTs. and a House of Rep
resentatives subservient to the de-
, mands of the favor-seeking cor
porations. They will try to con-
troll both parties, write both plat
dates; then they will be able to
throw the Democratic party on the
ash-pile and give the Republican
party a majority large enough to
encourage II recklessly to obey the
instructions from Wall Street.
The talk of a business mans
candidate" is only premonitory
symptom Of the nonpartisan move
ment now on foot-nonpartisan
because big business has no poll
tics. Its patriotism is the patriot
ism of pelf'' and its God is Mann
mon. Its arrogance and insolence
do more to breed anarchy and stir
up discomfort than all the utter
ances of those who profess to be
anarchists.
The reactionary movement has its
headquarters in the Republican
party; it is now in the saddle in
both Senate and House. But the
Democratic party is honey-combed
with secret supporters of the reac-
tionary movement. II the Repub-

The reactionary is in politics to-
day as he has not been in years;
he has money without limit and
newspapers galore. His stake is
control Of the government Of the
richest nation in the world. Moth
ing but an aroused electorate can
save the country from an .unexam-
pied era of exploitation
II the rank and file OF the Re-
publican party can be awakened in
time to prevent the nomination of
a reactionary. every patriot will
have reason to rejoice. II the con-
science of the Republican party
does not assert itself at the con-
vention. the responsibility thrown
upon the Democratic party will be
grave indeed.
1t might be to its political ad-
vantage to carry the standard of
reform against a Republican reac-
tionary, but the only safe plan is
for the friends of progress in both
parties to control their respective
conventions, then, no matter which
party wins, the country will be
safe. If either party champions the
reactionary movement no prophet
can foretell the result.

five miles a day.
Leaving Montpelier. Miss Hill
crossed over into New York State
and started down the Hudson River
Valley. She will walk every inch
of the way back here.
THE one surprise of my trip"
says she, has been the interest
that almost everyone expressed in
1t. Owners OF all kinds of motor
cars as we'll as people in carriages
and drivers of coal carts and other
vehicles have stopped to inquire re
garding the trip. Army, officers,
enlisted men. postmasters and
chance passersby have shown an
even greater interest" :
Taking the road to the North
seven weeks ago, Miss Hill left
Washington for a swing through
itod every State capital there and
covered more than half of the .SOo-

Girls Seek Work
On Farms During
Hdruest Season

Wholesale employment Of women
in farm work this summer will
lessen materially the danger OF a
serious food shortage. according TO
officials OF the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
A call for shock troops to care
for and harvest crops has been is-
sued. Government war workers
about 20 be discharged and college
students are included in the depart-
ment's plan for this farm army.
Many Washington girl workers will
return to their homes on farms and
take a real part In the daily work.
An experienced woman can do al
most anything on a farm. according
TO the agricultural experts. But
the special fields where woman's
work is most needed are berry
picking. fruit harvesting and pack
ing. and driving light wagons about
the farm.
College students arc responding
well, especially from washington
colleges. the reports show.
