Its One Drawback.

A Scotsman came south to have 4
look at London. He spent q few DAYS
in London and sped back to Scot

On the first night OF his return to

hear his opinion OF the town whose
streets were paved with gold"

Wonders Of Lost River

!. Tbs Lost river region IL that par,
Of Idaho which comprises the valleys
OF big and little Lost river and the
desert country into which these two
streams run.
To the tourist who does not know
from previous information what he
can fnd In that locality that would
be Of more than passing interest, the
road from HALEY east and north
might seem only q comparatively
dreary interval in his route to the
National Park or to the Sawtooth
National forest.
II this paper Is successful in cali
ing attention to many attractions
which will repay observation, its pur-
pose will be achieved. ~
To any person who cares to see
a peculiar geographical feature
which can only be seen in a few parts
of the world, the trip will afford an
opportunity to see here two streams
carrying q considerable current OF
water, which come down from the
mountains a distance of several miles
and instead of finding an outlet in
larger bodies Of water as is usually
the case, sink In the desert. Many
who know Of Lost river only by con-
sulting the map or hearing the name.
have INQUIRED why the streams are
called Lost river, and / have known
people living I'M the east. to whom
this phenomenon was novelty. and
who have shown an interest in it that
seemed unusual to q man who has
lived in the locality So long that the
sinking of river or two in the desert
is commonplace.

Below the Glass of Citizens Who Are Supporting Mayor
Hubbard and His Administration. Read What They Say
We ore for Charles III.
Hubbard for Mayor

Because He Has Kept Every Promise He Made to the
Citizens of Tulsa Two Years Ago.
Because we believe he has been the best Mayor TUX
has had because he represents all the people and
because believe that he has honestly strvcn enforce
all laws, not a crank frantic but i'm practical
common waynot merely Furnishing, but also striv
ing to uplift and help
1t is our desire to seek support for Charles H.
Hubbard by pointing out the shortcomings in his oppo-
nentS. We look upon them as good average citizens
men who have their virtues and their faults-ther
strength and their weak points have all men and wo-
men,
We ask you to vote for Hubbard because we believe
that his record and his years of training Mayor
of Tulsa make him the logical candidate to receive the
votes of thinking, unbiased citizens.

1t Is tweedle dunn or tweedle dee, so
far as the people are concerned: the

To illustrate this more forcibly
quote from the Worlds Problems:
There was quack doctor back in
the hills
Who used two connections to cure
human ills.
One was a physic-the best in ere
The other would fix any old constipa-
ton.
One he called "Twedledum", the
other "Twedledee",
Both made Of the bark Of the same
bloomin' tree.
He skinned the bark upwards to
make "Tweedledum",
And to make "Tweedledee" he
skinned downward. by gum.
And the people, whenever they got
sick abed.
Swallowed whatever the quack doctor
said.
For the people are easy, and grafters
are slick,
And more suckers wear breches than
swim in the creek.
A quack politician lives in the same
hills
Where the quack doctor lives. with
his "Tweedledum" pills.
He, too, has two medicines every cleo
ton.
One is labeled Free T rade", the
other Protection.
One skins up in front when it's peel
ing your hide,
The other skins down ana peelS OH
the back side.
They both skin you proper, and when
it's done,
You never can swear by which meth
cd you're skun.
For the people are easy and grafters
are slick,
And more suckers wear breeche5
than swim in the crek.
President Wilson's New Free
DOM, page 255, says: ut doesn't

what the term means.

thinking what the term means.
AS our country is too ponderous
for all the people to vote directly on
all subjects, we resort to what is
known as demO-republican form
that is we delegate power to legisla-
tors to make laws. There is a marked
difference between political democ-
racy and industrial democracy The
industrial relations report says: "Po-
litical freedom can exist only when
there is industrial freedom; political
democracy only when there is indus
trial democracy"
We have been fooled so long by
the political parties that there are
numbers of people who have given
up hope and seldom 60 to the polls.
When we look back and read the old
party platforms and see what they
have promised and what they have
done. 1t causes one to doubt and the
doubling has Just started. As I see

1t, the only reason why the Non-parti-
san league organizers were treated to
SO much mob law was because they
were teaching the people to get away
from the old reactionary parties and
vote for men who were pledged to
vote for a program regardless Of
which party they belonged to. You
can readily see that would materially
interfere with the control of politics
by big biz. The capitalist, or profit
|eering class, in order to have no
trouble in doing as they please with
the country, control the politicians Of
both the old political parties, as the
following instances will show: When
o. v. Havemeyer was put on the wit
ness stand during the sugar trust in
vestigation by a congressional COM
mittee he was asked, do you use
money to elect any political party to
power?" He said. 1--WE do not. In
"a republican district we furnish
money to elect a republican; in q
democratic district, We furnish money
to elect a democrat. And when they
are elected they are supposed to work
for our interests" Jay Gould said:
II he lived in Texas he would be a
democrat; If in Massachusetts, he
would be republican, but he was
always for Gould. So you see, as Mr.
Wilson points out in his New Free
DOM" page 22S, They have pointed
out that with our present methods of
machine nominations and our pres.
ent methods Of elections, which gives
US nothing more than a choice be-
TWEEN one set of machine nominees
and another, we do not get represent
atives at all, but merely government
representatives of political managers
who. serve their own interests and the
interests of those with whom thew
find it profitable to establish partner
ship"
There is a growing apprehension
S.AAChSo thC iiSH as " QeVelOD-
ments along certain political lines,
and this fear that the people will
take more interest in politics and pre-
vent some of the profit games of the
money sharks. has caused all big biz
opposition to organizing the working
people into organizations with power
to protect themselves. The working
people want some say about who con-
trolls their jobs and prices of their
products, and they should always
bear in mind the fact that politics is
not government, but is only the ma.
chinery Of government.
There is a peculiar condition exist
ing in the United States, different

try. People have become slaves to
