JEFFERSON

THOMAS JEFFERSON used to say that in this country
there ought to be any need for revolutions since
all the people have to do to effect change to go to the
polls.
We think this observation is particularly apropos this
year Certainly if jefferson around he would be
upset with the antics of the present Congress- and it
guess that he would also be pretty mad.
For it a virture of Jefferson that complacency with
things they part of his makeup He could get
downright mad when would rampe his rights
the rights of his mellow citizens and he ready to do
something aboutt
We think trade unionsts are like jefferson They
the most goodnaured people in the world but once

America has the best and frees newspapers in the world

What Of us object to is the way that handful
