And yet, from the viewpoint I am advancing, claim 1t is. despite it's drawbacks and hardships, the ideal life; while after all, it is today despite the profiteer and the rest of them who exploit the farmer, no harder than many another.

 The fact is we are, the most of us, up against the profitter. We want, as vaudeville street conversational should say what I think about you I would be ashamed to speak it"

DEMOCRATS AND THE RE-

But the sad fact. from the Democratic
po;n, Of View. Is that II was not Demo-

Formulated the fedora. reserve act. ana
President Taft PEI, onally had a large
share in the work. II was passed dur
INK the first Wilson administration. WIN
all It's vital features precisely the same
as framed by their Republican original

representatives and senators.
II is quite true that Mr.. Wilson recoG-

gave 4 his endorsement. For that he
is entitled % credit. as e also me

itself is purely a Republican creation

for some fanatical Sim Feiner 70 make

King George and Queen Mary TO visit
Ireland. Death turks there for them.
