IN order that Sinclair, J. 7, Morgan,
and others might rule as the invisible
government. Well tha, pretty thor

cative department, but how ahou, the
Senate and Congress which being
the law making body should 80 to the
task with clean hands and pure
heart.
Now II Is well known fact that
many candidates for the Senate and
Congress often spend considerable
more than they get out Of the term
they serve, and that begins 10 lock
like Senate and Congress are both
dominated by the same parties that go
TO make up the invisible government
In the executive department, and Just
as long as money Is raised fof cam.
paign purposes by granting special
privileges, Just that long viii there
exist in our lawmaklng body deadly
eaneerous growth,
There is also what Is known as u
'obby and all the interference that
goes with IL; sure the lobbyists are on
the job all the time and believe me,
there are some powerful ones too, and
IL Is "A moral certainty that all Of the
power they possess Is used by u class

Jews maintain lobby In our Ma.

the hand of special interests at all

Il does not want a bill passed IL slm-

but still forcing the issue.
Does such a system need changing
II certainly looks as if IL did ! have
only briefly described few Of many
evils existing that every observer
should have noticed long ago.
We are now ready 10 take look
at the doings Of our Third or judicial
part Of our government, our Supreme
court, which Is a body of judges sup

Most people think when bill
passes both houses and Is signed by
the president IN national questions, or
governor in case Of state questions,
! that II Is then the law, but such Is not
the case, il still has to run the gaunt-
let Of a court decision and If the

ever placed on the statute books as
good law.
T. il 10 be wondered at that we are
getting a country full Of radicals ?
when such conditions along with the
economic questions are keeping all Of
us guessing
A few days ago a prominent man
in the business world said 10 me,
! Wildman what Is the reason that so
many men are becoming radical to-
day? / informed him that he would
not believe me If told him the real
reason, and | was fully aware that he
