Washington, August 2.-Drawing
paraphrase from the Fourth Chapter
of Luke for its text, the Republican
Publicity association, through its
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
ference as follows:
"And the despot, taking Kox ur
into an high mountain, showed
unto him all the kingdoms of the
world in moment OF time, and
the throne and the .sceptre at
Geneva.
"And the despot said unto Kox,
All this power will l give thee,
and the glory Of them; for that is
delivered unto me; and to whom
soever / will give it.
"If thou, therefore, wilt wor-
ship me, all shall be thine.
"And Kox, lusting for power, fell on
his knees before the despot, who was
seated before the altar Of information
alism saying unto him, Get thee be-
hind me Master, and push; thee and
thy legion OF officeholders, and thy
sycophants and thy censerswingers;
and we will betray a nation that /
may sit in thy place and listen to thy
voice and thy voices, and behold thy
visions. Thy league shall be my lea
que, and thy views my views; and
whilst 1t is given unto thee to make
known thy commandments; by num-
bled word of mouth, or through thy
high-priest TumM Tee, my mind shall
run along with thine" Then sinister
smile illumed the countenance OF the
despot and the compact to deliver
over to Europe the splendor and man.
hood of America was signed. Yea.
her charter was to be as the garments
of Joseph divided among his brethren
even as Joseph was America to be
sold to the Lshmeelites.
Now there came from the land of
the Buckeye a man of tribe of Hard
ing. called Gamaliel, which is to say
in Hebrew, 'Recompense of God And
he was champion strong of sinew
and of excellent repute. Verify, his
strength was as the strength of ten
because his heart was pure. And
when Gamaliel had seen this thing

despot and asked, What meanest thou
by this agreement to barter away the
heritage of thy kinsmen? Accept my
challenge for test of strength upon
the mat, for / would fain perpetuate
unto my people the prize Of freedom,
and succor them from bondage
Then Kox, gazing upon the mighty
stature OF Gamaiiel, grew sick at
heart, and all his blood turned water
in his veins. And he answered, It Is
not meet that should cope with thee.
Is It not written that am Of the caste
too proud to fight? Far better is 1t
that I duck. And duck he did, and
turned and fled.
"Thereat, Gamaliel flung off his
coat, unsheathed his sword, ana has
tened In pursuit Through bog and
fen. DER moor and mountain top he
chased the despot's votary. And in
the valley of despond on an aut,Dmnal
day he fell upon him hip and thigh
and ballot-box and slew him with one
stroke; then locked the despot in
padded cell.
"Thus did Gamaliel preserve unto
his people the heritage which was
theirs and which had been handed
down to them through generations,
but which was like to have been hypo-
,thecater by the despot and his money
lichangers.
"And all this befell in the year 1920.
And the year thereafter was known
as the Year Of the Great Restoration,
that being the year In which tho arf
Of the peoples convenant, eight years
withheld from them, was placed again
Into their Weeping. For Gamaliel
sought not 10 rule, but was 'hosen
administrator. and unto his people de
llivered he their charter.
"And Gamaliei abode eight years ai
sage and counsellor Of the nation and
leader Of mon. And the people, wht
had grievously stoned under the rod d
the despot, kept green the memory o.
the days when they rejoiced und sr the
