the oil was seen, and then make
the test for oil. If they strike a

CONTROL IS SLIPPING
FROM THE PEOPLE.

E4SVM 44G E1Ok LIZ Vii
The control Of the nation has been
gradually slipping from the people
for number Of years. Now, the peo-
Iple as q whole have but very little ia
do in the control Of the Government
The control is in the hands Of the
bloodsuckers, the kind that our coun-
TRY is 50 abundantly cursed with.
The common people have been So
liberal in leaving others to do theii
thinking for them until they have be-
come no more than bunch of sub
jects abject slaves.
i Senator Robert M. La Toilette, il
his speech on Jan. 26, reference ia
which and the substance Of which we
print in this number Of the Eagle,
struck they key note to the situation.
It does not require the wisdom of
Solomon to see where this nation is
drifting, and unless there is change
of the course, and that pretty soon,
the fabrics of our government will
crumble and fall to pieces under its
own weight Of depression.
There is limit to endurance and
our people have almost reached that
limit.
1t makes us shudder to think of the
inevitable, that which is sure to come,
unless there is change in the course
we have been drifting for the past
number of years.
The change can only be brought
about by the wrestling Of the control
ing power which is now in the hands
of the few and giving the common
people voice in the control of the
affairs of the National Government.
This may be brought about by the
ballot in a peaceful and quiet way.
We hope it can be. But the people
will have to familiarize themselves
with the tide in order to take advan-
tage of the drift-they will have to do
some thinking for themselves.
Our leaders, as we all know, have
misdirected affairs. They have been
doing all the thinking for the common
people, and all the controlling. They
have placed the country in very bad
light, and we, the people, have got to
suffer for their mistakes.
1t has gotten to the point in the
eyse of the few where it is almost
criminal for common man to ex-
press his views as to conducting the
affairs of the Nation. A free and
untrammeled press and free speech
are the two salient factors in the res
cue of a perishing nation. America
was founded and has ever stood by
these two great principles, but for the
past few years, it seems, our people
have themselves disregarded their
rights; they have drifted to the
crowds that believe themselves in
competent to do their own thinking,
hence the results.
Mr.. La Toilette tells you why you
cannot sell your farm produce for
as much as it costs to produce it; he
tells you the object of the great de-
flating tides which have been sweep
ing our country, and he is evidently
correct in his views, be he what ever
he is politically. Of course it stings
us now, but we need to be stung for
permitting ourselves to be lead like a
bunch of sheep to the slaughter.

When young men follow old mems

When all girls dress in a sensible

When every play is worth the price
And books are all their publishers
When goodness counts more than

When boarding houses ceases from

In Virginia two men are imprisoned
in a mine, according to the public
prints. They are, reports say, in a
vaulted chamber, the natural temper
allure of which is about 70 degrees. A
two inch pipe has been driven through
the rock to this chamber, through
which food and drink are passed.
Electric wires and a small electric
light bulb have also been passed
through the pipe. The men have
plenty of fresh air, plenty of food
and drink, tobacco and matches, and
a light.
It may be several weeks before res
cuers reach them. In the meantime
the prisoners say that they are all
right, and not worrying. Why should
they worry? No cold weather, no
taxes, no high cost of living, no dodg-
ing automobiles, or trying to start
'em on cold mornings, no telephone
calls in the chilly midnight, no fuss,
no bother. Grub handed them daily,
without having to work. It would be
a little difficult for us to go down a
two inch pipe, but any time the two
fellers want a companion we will
volunteer.
