THE M'UMAN ELEMENT
The following taken from a recent
speech by 'General Wood expresses ihe
générai idea of a square deal. It is
charabfristic of the man who said It
and it'represents a true American s-n
timetit:
'"We are glad to welcome the right

his heart filled with the purpose of
living up to our standards, adopting
our ideal of being a real American, hut
we haven't an atom of room for the
man who comes here drunk with the
light of our liberty and animated with
the spirit of destruction. Of that class
we have too many. We don't want in
this country, and won't have, either an
-autocracy of wealth or an autocracy of
labor. One is as bud as the other.
(Applause.) If you want a true de
