A STRIKIN' t EXAMPLE
For the benefit - :h -e 1 k : agitating
rumen
we call their attention to the lack of news thru
the defective gov ^.-nmcr.i cable the last two
days. For all the government caret the world
outside of our immediate vicinity might have
been wiped off the earth, and • would have
never known it. The cable parted somewhere,
of and that was ail there wo- - it. The mann
.er of repairing the damage ? eta:.', to say
ing: “The government
veniert and no sooner. What are you going to
do ab^ut it?” As a matter : ; tv wo ..re help
less. We are not co-r.sM . i Th- : nrner.t
first, last and all the time. - - en
terprise can go hang.
N w, how long
lasts that would give Air.*':: r ice that
the p‘"p!e have been receiving last sveral
years at the hand N t
The disatisfaction would soon '■ ? cured by ano
ther enterprise with bitter taeility. Had the
private enterprises in th-. hi t.io g on the
same service that we have be: given; others
would have sprang up ere,, trig competition
and'compelling' efircien-oy. Whereas. with gov
eminent ownership, the life o; t is kill el
and efficiency is hardly ever in greet quantity.
In pri.ate enterprise, the best 1 is .-.one too
good. With the governing
with a pull have the prefer; o.
WHAT IT SHOWS
Reading two days ago the ... t t id
us about the two carload of f gig. .. : -.•aching
Chicago on their way to Xev Y< rk to be de
ported. is suggestive of an averv- for action.
That bit of news i- very eo’i I s
that +he men are mot • r t T' • •>
States Not only then ’ v
have no property in the country r-.r. I ' ve no
i
ver paid a cent of taxes. Yet they want to tell
us what we should and should not do. They
want to reform us —cur chosen government.
As though they were all wise and us fools and
want to constitute themselves our guardins.
But what is the use: they are not worth bo
thering with and the thing to do is to make a
thorough cleanup of the country of that pest.
After the job is done, put up the bars and allow
none to enter our gates unless they want to
abide by our laws until they have become citi
zens. Than they can go to the polls and cast
their ballots for the reforms they desire. But
that is generally the trouble now adays, those
who pay the least towards the support of any
government, are the ones who say the most. ..

TALK ABOUT PATRIOTISM
What are you. a Patriot or a Profiteer? You
