WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, '08
The Waterlooo Times-Tribune is
bocomiug as progressivo as auy
paper iu Ihe state, lis editorial
page last Sunday will compare fa
vorably with tho editorial pag'J of
any paper iu the country.
We publish oil another page a
sxpopsis of the President's message,
which in some respects is the most
remarkable message ever sent to
congress by a chief executive of this
country. An unexpected increase
in our advertising spare prevents
us from giving the text of the mes
sage this week, but next week we
will publish in its entirety this
eledge hammer attack upon capital
ized iniquity.
When Chancellor Day came to
that part of the President's message
which spoke about "Puppets who
m'.vj as string is pulled," he had an
other bad half hour. The people of
tliis country understand Day's posi
tion perfectly. He is an educator
who has disgraced himself and his
calling by becoming a corporate
puppet. He is a chattel whose ser
vices and opinions are alwdys in
line With the wishes of wealthy
criminals.
Gov. Hughes has made a speech
defining his views on national ques
f.ions. We are unable to say from
the extracts of tho ^speech read by
us where he standi on auy of the
leading questions now uppermost in
the public mind. He has a string
on nearly every proposition favored
by him. A good way to determine
whether Hughes is aU right or all
wrong is to watch the editorial, col
umns of certain newspapers known
to be owned by the "interests." If
Jlughes i3 satisfactory to them he
should be unsatisfactory to the mas
ses of the people. W''-*1
Btyan Rejoices Over President's
-„vA Message.
After Mr. Bryan finished reading
the,President's message he said:
"It is a great message and need
ed at this time. All friends of re
form have reason to rejoice that the
President has used his high posi
tion to call attention to the wrongs
that nead to be remedied. He has
discovered the running sore in our
national life.' He has pointed out
the corrupting influences that flow
from predatory wealth and from the
monopolistic enterprises which have
given unearned riches to the few,
who, by controlling-great industries
of the uHtion, have levied' tribute
upon the whole country.
"His warnings are entirely iu har
mony with tho warnings which
Democrats have been uttering for
more than a decade, and I hope that
the Democrats in the Senate
and House will promptly challenge
the Republicans to meet the issue
presented by the President. There
ought to be enough Roosevelt Re
publicans in the two houses to join
with the Democrats and insure
some remedial legislation at this
session.
The Presidents Message.
President Roosevelt's recent mes
sage to Congress was a philippic
worthy the pen of Junius. He fired
at every infamy in the country, with
out regard to the wealth of the mal
efactors, and rang the bell at every
shot Here are a few of the phrases
used by the President:
The same web oE corruption.
Apologists for corrupt wealth.
Hypocritical baseness.
Criminals of great wealth,
Powerful wrongdoers.
The strong cunning men.
Liw-defyin'g wealth.
Peculiarly flagarent iniquity.
To shackle cunning.
Laying up a day of wrath
Flagarent dishonesty of n'E'few
men.
Cut out rottenness.
Unhealthy seeming prosperity.
Greed, trickery and cunning.
Representatives of predatory
wealth.
Wealth accumulated by iniquity.
Puppets who move as string is
pulled.
Corrupt men of wealth.
Domineer in swollen prido
Mammon of unrighteousness
With envenomed bitterness F:
Notorious railroad combinations.
Bitter and unscrupulous craft.
Many wealthy malefactors.
Very wealthy criminals.
Corruption of organized politics.
Corruption of high finance
With frantic vehemence. [,
Evil eminence of infamy,
Creature who fattens' on blood
money.

WHY THIS STUPENDOUS SALE?
Never before in the history of our firm have conditions been more unfavorable in every way
to sell heavy winter goods, such as Overcoats, Pur Coats, and Overshoes. We'lfbught heavier
than ever, expecting, of course', cold weather, as usual. The -result is that we have more heavy
goods than usual at this time of the year. It has always been our custom never to carry over
one season's goods into another. We are determined more than ever to make this sale, abso
lutely the greatest in the history of our store, as the surplus stock on our tables must move
without fail.
