this mouthfuI to say about the
people among which he is living:
al have lived all my life among

have learned to- despise them for
the honorless, huInoriess, stupid,
brutal and cowardly scum that
they are :. They are just as
greedy and ten Thousand times as
ignorant as our present masters.
For somewhat more than half
"a decade they have hoped and
prayed that l would die in some
strange and horrible manner

Montana. At this point Rodney
Salisbury insisted that double the
amount now distributed would be
necessary to furnish adequate re-
lief. He cited the case of VIC
tim who had died because the de-
ceased was forced to support her
parents when she should have
been in the hospital receiving
medical attention. He also cited
the case of a person who was now
down with pneumosia, with little
hope of recovery. This, he said,
was blamable to the fact that this
person was forced to go without
shoes, overshoes or proper under
clothing. In conclusion he warned
them that every mark of distress
resulting in death would be charge
able to the committee who would
some time be forced to take their
stand before the Judgment of the
farmers.
1 1t was somewhat unfortunate
that Mr. SpaIding was unable tx
accept the offer made him by Rod
ney Salisbury, who offered to tak'
him to the farmers homes in th'
county and let him have proof b!
ocular demonstration whether or
not the farmers destitution was |
myth or a reality. Apparently
Mr.. Spalding's intelligence could
well understand that though tn
farmers were destitute they ha
not, yet developed the art of de
ceptiOn of which they have bee
unjustly suspected; which decep
ton can be found among the trait
of those who have managed t
, build their heaven on the hell {

In this respect one Illustration

to the attention of Mr.. Spalding
that merchants in the county, taxi
ing advantage of the farmers dis
tress, were selling their shop-worn
merchandise at the high prevailing
prices. This feature of "unethical
robbery was severely condemned
and instructions were given to the

offending merchants Immediately
This illustration is introduced to
prove to all concerned what class
has recourse to deception. The
