H H HH Yoh, I iiKrucil to tul I you Hoinethiiij; moru concerniiiK tlio proportion of iiutieiiiilir.ini: our liontloil indebted iicHH. Surely wo mimt nroiiHo oiir huIvuh from our proHont comatose condition and turn thiiiKfl upside down and look at tlio rii:ht Hide for a while. Wo have for ho Ioiik I'vii drunken on hyperbolical deliinioiiH that wo really do not know where wo aro drifting. When wo awaken enoimli to realize tliu fact that wo tlio people aro the government ami tliOMi wiiom wo honor with our votcn aro our iikciUm. To illiiHtrato moru fully, thuy hltould ronlire tho fact that they aro tho hiiiiio to us iim an niton t who in employed by tho Singer Sewing Machinu Company or for the Standard Oil Company. To Iik Iiiwh and trammel Ihihiiiokh for the benefit of all the puople. Or, jwr- luiPh it would be more nearly ex plained by (pioting a'paragraph of Mayor Urand Whitlock'a of Toledo, Ohio, in IiIh reply to tho prenehor'H enmiuiiiiieatloii. Mayor Wliitloek Hiiid "I am not the beadle of a Now England villugu in tho year 1(11)2, but the mayor of a modern American city in tha year 111 10, elected not to govern tho people but to roprcHent them; not to boar rule-over them, but to carry their will into effect." Hut today it in not looked at in that way. Tlioy, whom wo honor with our votoH claim to lie our Iiohhch and wo their earn. Our uoiigroHRinen Hay wo iuiihI pay them at leant 21) jwr day and lift centH pur mile, and full time to and from their place of biiHincHH, that wo miiKt pav ournelvcH $1.50 pur day, 5 centu per milo and no wngaH going to the plueo wanted and returning. Then and not till then will we re ceive that whioli 5h oura to give and receive. Hut hold on thorol Ik it, not a fact that a largo Mirtion of our national iudcbtednoHH IniH boon nationalized? Yen. What has through chienncry by IIiobo wo have honored with our votcn beeomo a nationalized debt. Say. wan it not always a national debt? Or, rather, a war debt? No, not neecHHiirilv Wo never owed a cent of war debt. 1 should like to know if it was not a war debt, what wan the nature of the debt. Tor we have been paying interest for Ioiiiih thcho many years on what the xliti eal rabble Iiiih taught uh to beliee wiik nn honest war debt. Well, I will tell you in whorl, I may in the near future tell you more fully; it wiik and in tho bankers' bonded debt. Thai debt has not only been nation alized, but Iiiih gono much further. We. the American Government (the people) havo been paying them (the liankerH) double interest on the na tion's indebtedness. No, it was not a war debt. I think that 1 grasp your idea of nationalizing a county or state bond, that ih, you would have the county ihMie bonds to tho amount of money needed in tho way of making good roads, or for exixirliug water from th" mountains to tho valley, building bridges, good rouds, etc., etc. Send thoo bonds to our agent, the comp troller of tho currency at Washing ton, I). ( have him issue bills in lieu of thoKo bonds. You guesKcd right thih time, so puss up to the head of voiir class. You tell me that part of our bonded indebtedness has not only been na tionalized, but it has been more than nationalized. Hollo, there, I). H., will vou tell bow that is? I mnv in the near future tell you how that jk done. Why not have all our bonded indebtedness nationalized and tiit paying interest? Kor two rcnsetiH: First, it is that most of the small robbers, humor ously called grafters or business men, and nearly all tho wage workers thoughtlessly vote blindly. Their voting is something like the little birds taking their food they shut their eyes, open their mouths, swal low that which is put in their mouth. So, too, the voters shut their eyes, reach their hand, vote the same tick et their master hands them. Sec ond, it would do away with the mill ionaires and also with the paupers, so wo must continue to pay double interest until the workers of the world awake from their comatose or lethargic state, shake the non producers off their back, dcclnre they nro tired of working and voting to produce millionaires of the idle class and paupers of the working class. Then and not till then will they quit voting tho rich nto power, but instead will do as they have done in Milwaukee vote themselves into power. Then they can have home for themselves and thoir families. I). H. REAMES. A GOOD CUSTOMER will buy more goods than a warm one will in hot weather. A cool customer will buy with less palaver. He or she will be better natured, less cranky and easier to sell to; and you know it. Moreover, you yourself, and your employes, will be in a better selling mood if your store is cool and pleasant than if it is sticky and suffocating and savors of a boiler room in its stiflingness. The Electric Fan is a blessing and a cheer which -you can ill afford to ignore. Life in the dog days is a question of degrees. Make your place of business habitable and inviting to the people, and the trend of trade will be in your direction. It stands to reason it's logical it's apparent. Why not invest a little money in trade-winning cool ness? Electric Eans will create a tempting and delightful breeze, and in every breeze there'll be dollars for you.
