HOW POLITICAL GOVERNMENT
COMES OUT IN THE WASH
It Must Give Way to Industrial Gov
ernment, Liberty and Happiness,
An article covering this subjject
was prepared with considerable care
a few weeks before the last political
tryout; it however mysteriously dis
appeared along with the rogues'
gallery which was the feature of the
publications during the late unpleas
antness. In the original several ref
erences were used which I have not
at hand but the main idea will be
carried out.
When I make the statement that
political government is a failure you
will perhaps look up the 'flagstaff of
some public building or some depart
ment store where a long strip of
cloth of alternating colored stripes is
fluttering to shreds in the breeze and
you will conclude that I must be
talking through my hat. My hat
has become ragged, which may ac
count for1 some ideas leaking thru.
Yes, 1 said f-a-i-l-u-r-e. Wow you
poll parrots may yell treason if your
mind is not large enough for any
thing more comprehensive. I do not
mean that the machinery is not
pounding away producing a nerve-
racking noise. I mean that the ma
chine is riot producing the results
the general salesmen promise in the
large alluring posters. As a matter
of fact the agents (the politcians) do
not expect you to believe what they
say without swearing to it and no
one but a fool will believe them on
their oath.
Take our last political campaign
for example; in every state or
other political subdivision, from two
to four groups of candidates were
scurrying about begging votes and
filling the atmosphere with their
discordant noise, all of them "good
men and true." Then the publica
tions of whatever kind scattered at
random carrying pictures and paid
ads. of vote beggers and all to what
purpose, just to get on the public
1-ayvoll. Look at the waste of ener
gy these printers and parargraph
ers could have been teaching us
something useful and ninety-nine out
of a hundred would have taken pleas
ure in their work. As it is this
abominable rubbish meets contempt
in the printshop. Observe the pic
tures of the politicians on every
fence corner, bridge or outbuilding,
Can Any good come out of it?
The politician regards the politi
cal state only as a coin collecting de
vice, a sort of a slot machine, where
the industrious citizen puts in some
coin in the hope of gain and he, the
Dolitician, has undertaken the task
of keeping it empty in such a man
ner so the citizen wil not get wise
to the game. Periodically we are
informed as to . what was taken out
of the till and we are taught to re
gard this humbug as to our benefit,
as we work to fill it again. About
the only work the politician does is
to burnish up this slot machine and
exhibit it on holidays, being careful
to hide the real workings behind the
patriotic bunting made in Japan by
cheaD and "lirnorant foreigners.
Practically all the ingenuity ana
skill of workmanship employed by
the political state is m improved
methods of destruction of both life
and property, in fact the state came
into existence by that process. It
maintains itself not only by de
struction of persons and property
outside of its alleged boundries, but
what would seem still worse to the
disinterested bystanders, by dis,
truction of the citizen for whose
welfare it pretends to exist, and
from whom it collects money upon
the false assumption and promise.
BeinEr intensely loyal and decided
ly blinded by this chimera usually
called patriotism you may not be
able to apply it to the land you hunt
jobs in or markets tor what you nave
"iobbed" in. So just gaze across the
nond there, distance lends enchant
ment to the view." . There you will
see political government in full
bloom. The fact that most are mon
archies is immaterial, fundamentally
all civilized governments are the
same, also the effect as well as the
object is the same. The greatest
difference is merely the nomencla
ture as applied to the public offic
ials. There, as here, men who can
not govern themselves, seek to gov
ern other persons, forbidding others
such acts as they commit. Political
government is in no sense different
in that respect trom . ecciesiasucui
government. In fact, no political
government exists today except as
a partnership with the .ecdesiastic,-
cal, requiring such support, as me
utter rottcness of the politician i's
eerywhere recognized.
There is no essential difference in
this country where we claim a gov
ernment by majorities, which we
have not, than the usual European
form. We are as persons not so
much different, only as we respond
to environments which differ just as
much among persons in most any
given locality. Take any political
problem affecting "our country."
You wish the tariff for instance,
which has been the ante-room goat
in Dolitics for two or more genera
tions without any solution in sight.
The two dominant parties kicking it
to and fro with millions of words and
let me ask you if you comprehend
the question? Ten to one you can
not snell it with these letters., The
average citizen approaches the sub
ject very much like the communi
cant approaches the sacrament, swal
lows the dope with his eyes reverent
ly shut tight, his mouth wide open
and no questions asked, yet is
more than willing to carry the big
end of a scrap if you should attempt
to analyze the subject, much less
speak in a disrespectful tone about
this baldheaded swindle. One party
proposes to apply the tariff on
prunes, the other on pickles and the
voters take sides corresponding to
the manner in which they misunder
stand the subject. I would bet a
hoecake against the hole in a dough
nut that you could not pull off such
fool stunts more than twice about
an industrial problem without get
ting the can.
In this year of enlightenment we
have a crisis in the cotton problem.
Ten states in the south are in the
most deplorable condition since re
construction days, yet your political
government can ao nothing but talk
tne incessant rubbish common to
politics. The pictures drawn by a
lew representatives in Congress from
southern states should arouse the
olood in a rutabago but no, Congress
adjourns and the political bums go
nome to beg votes with supreme con
fidence of not being moDbed by a
bamboozled constituency. It seems
fortunate the Democrats are in pow
er, or 1 fear those people in the south
would start something, surely the
provocation would seem to justify it,
out they being practically all Demo
crats will not against their own
party name. Ten years ago when
these people were not quite so bad
off, a movement was carried out and
each cotton owner burned a ratio of
cotton. This year they did not quite
dare to repeat such an idiotic stunt,
but started a buy-a-bale movement.
This was not so bad so far as the
whole country is concerned but is in
no wise better for the grower, how
ever, it gave the speculator a chance
and the administration boosted for
this disgusting humbug. Being pol
iticians what else could a grownup
person look for? This enlightened
nation, the grandest ever, is con
fronted with the problem of want and
misery because ' of an abundance.
Being a political government it can
not comprehend the idea of doing
anything useful for its industrious
citizens not till after election. Had
an opportunity for destruction been
offered the response would have been
instantaneous and sufficient. About
two months ago an Englishman rep
resenting bankers and speculators
came over and it was advertised that
some solution would be found be
cause some Americans owed some
Englishmen about $200,000,000 and
we could pay them in cotton, cheap
cotton from the democratic south.
Meanwhile the grower starved in the
south while the spinner froze and
starved in the north. Don't forget
to blame it on the tariff if you vote
G. O. P. or the war if you vote D. O.
P. for your politicians say so and
they know.
The mind of the political state is
static while life is dynamic. There
fore we find the political government
putting up such stupid moves against
the combinations of capital in what is
popularily known as anti-trust leg
islation. In spite of all laws, all lit
igation, all court decisions, the trust
organizations are going forward un
abated. This is as it must be for the
trust is an economical developement
and labor saving device. In justice
to the intelligence of our public of
ficials I will not accuse them of be
ing, as persons, ignorant enough to
suppose that this abominable hum
bug commonly known as "smashing
the trust" would be beneficial, if
trusts had been actually smashed.
This was only the entertainment put
on the political stage in return for
the otherwise uselessness of their
official duties. The committee on
applause however clapped their
hands vigoiously and the Henry
Dubbs supposed that they were get
ting their money's worth.
The political mind being static is
at once the cause and effect of so
many lawyers in public life.
This profession, or to speak more
correctly, pretense, is continually in
the resurrection business even if the
corpse "stinketh." 'In consequence
of which we are led out in the ju
dicial and legal graveyard to wor
ship the ideas of people who lived
under different industrial conditions.
Let us revert briefly to the criti
cal cotton situation merely to touch
a living idea to bring partial relief.
Were this government concerned
with the welfare of the citizen in
stead of dividends on investment it
could commandeer the use of the cot
ton mills, pay a living price for the
cotton to the grower and put the idle
factory operative to work producing
such fabrics as are in common use
FOR AMERICANS ONLY. Those
growers who are in distress could
receive the benefit of Moratorinum.
This congress however proposes to
help the banker, very much like the
swindling farm credit proposed by
the traitois who are at the head of
farm organizations in Oregon. In
times past the agricutlure agencies
of the federal government rang the
changes on greater production. Now
however the cotton grower is berat
ed because of overproduction by the
stupid political state and it is likely
no relief will be forth coming unless
production is curtailed the coming
year. This is the philosophy of our
alleged statesmen.
It is useless to sew new patches
upon the threadbare political hobble
skirt, put it in the ash barrel it be
longs to the dead. Let us build an
industrial government where we may
enjoy life, liberty and happiness, for
the political government is obstruct
ive to these ideals and must be abol
ished. John F. Stark.

Prompt Action Will Stop Your Cough
When you first catch' a Cold (often
indicated by a sneeze or cough),
break it up at once. The idea that
"It does not matter" often leads to
serious complications. The remedy
which immediately and easily pene
trates the lining of the throat is the
kind demanded. Dr. King's New
Discovery soothes the irritation,
loosens the phlegm. You feel better
at once. "It seems to reach the very
spot of my Cough" Is one of many
honest testimonials. 50c at your

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an Inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It is
entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which ! nothing but an Inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) thft
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
