New Party Means New Deal.
The administration of President
Roosevelt was one of the greatest
the country has seen. Its awaken
ing its gre at crystallization of public
opinion and its definite accomplish
meiits earned and won for Roosevelt
the* admiration and confidence of the
people.
T’J at every turn in that splendid
administration the people's leader
was handicapped by the obstruction
and final arrogance of the bosses in
both parties. Progress often was
alow and halting. No man could have
don- better under the same condi
tions. but the conditions were wrong.
The new party means a new deal
It means that the people are* going
to get control. It means ultimately
that when the voters elect a presi
dent cm definite pledges and policies,
he will be given the support he
ne« ds to fulfilll expectations. It
means that he will not be treated
wit h the rontemptous treatment that
Roosevelt suffered, especially In the
closing days of his administration,
at tin hands of the Cannons. Forak
ers. Aldriches, Haileys and their
kind
And it is only through a new
par > that complete popular control
of Hi- government can be assured.—

Without Shame or Apology.
; As a first disclosure of the money
trus 1 probe, that coffee valorization
deal is one of the sort that should i
cause p-opie to sit up ami take no- I
tic There is a ease* where Amerl- j
can money, concentrated at New I
York, h»*lp« d to rob the American I
poop to the enrichment of foreign I
! proeiu .rs It Ik a case where even j
the all-ged merit of the tariff argu
ment annot be plead* d It was not
used to protect an American work- j
; Ingtnan. or to create a market fori
any \mertcan products. It was aim- !
I ply tie- p ople'g money in the* hands
of public exploiters loaned to lira
si Ita r. . offee producers on the basis
of profit to those who held the money
in trust, by compelling the Amerl- |
can people to pay thirty cents a 1
pound for coffe* that they once
bougii* for twenty cents '
I Nobody is ashamed of the transac
tion. nor does anybody apologize for :
it. Nothing of that kind is expect
ed. It was simply a stroke of ;
{"'good business" for the men who |
controlled thg money. It Involved
loans of soim thing like $90,000,000
at an Interest rate of 9 per cent'
on $1 i. 000.000 and 11 per cent on *
the balance. It was a clever and I
SMgalls use of the money of the \
c outttry gathered East and West
and North and South, and the Amerl- j
can people in all of those sections!
h* I pod pay that Interest amt then j
soma, every time they bought a
pound of coffee.
Mr. Samuel I'ntermyer was the |
man who throw the g|nitltght on this
i transaction. He disclosed the ••on
tract evidence of the entire affair
•>'.- of the most unpatriotic d-als
that the money hiua *T Wall street
over engaged in. He has shown that i
In last analysis th- whole business
was almpiy an exploitation of the
American people pure ami simple,
and the process of It runs something
Ilk** this The producer deposits
his money In the hunk The banker
■ ds it to N»*w York The New
rker loans it for th* valorization
of -offoe. The valorisation of cof
f restricts the Importation of that 1
article, and th* producer pays the

Gee, Get a Move On You
Some men have lo be kicked into action. Olliers
have to have a brick house fall on them before
they "fake a tumble " But the wide-a-wake. ag
gressive. successful fellow requires no prodding
He ACTS. He doesn’t wait tor the things about
the place to i*et into a "rickety" condition. He i
know: that after things get started uoinj» to the
bad. they go fast He finds it much cheaper to
KLI B things in shape than lo Dl’T them into
shape alter iliey have gone to the bad.
Which class do you belong to? Take another
look about the place and see if a little lumber used
m certain places, right now , w ill not save a big
