THE PEOPLE ;
GETTING WISE
The Republican Party is
Reekingwith Corruption.!
Washington, July 21. During
the, recent session of Congress, the
Republicans were finally induced,
after asevere lashing by their con
stituents,' to pass ajbill for the es
tablishment of postal savings banks.
This was one of the planks in the
Republican platform, on which
Taf t was elected, and if the consti
tuencies of these Congressmen had
not;. been presistent in their Re
mands, Congress would have yield
ed to the threats, arguments and
questionable means employed by
the bank trust of the country to
defeat the bill.
As an evidence of the absolute
subserviency of the present admin
istration to the powerful trusts and
monopolies of the country, this
most beneficial act is being largely
nullified by the unnecessary delay
in putting the measure into opera
tion. From all over the country
people are clamoring for the estab
lishraent of these banks, as a guar
antee of deposits, and yet the
President -and Postmaster General
are giving as little attention to this
matter as possible. They hate the
law because Bryan forced them to
it. Statistics show that in Great
Britain alone, that little island,
which is no larger than Texas, the
people have deposited more than
one biUion dollars in the govern
ment postal savings banks. The
great success in England only
shows what a tremendous good
these banks accomplish, when they
are operated by the government in
the interest of the small saver.
The- public is at last getting wise
to the fact that the President has
not only unpatriotic, but corrupt
members in his official family, who
are kept there to satiate private
greed and to defraud the public.
and that the President is secretly
serving the trusts and monopolies.
and winking at the public These
things have convinced the country
that the Republican party is reek
ing with corruption and that it is
time to turn it out of power, and
put honest Democrats in office.
There is no doubt whatever; but
that this fall will witness the great
est routing tha$ the Republican
party has ever sustained, and that
if the party does get over it, it
will "never look the same."
INDIANS TANK UP
ON FIRE WATER
conflict hollows in Wftlch Une is
Killed, Another Fatally Injured.
Asheville, N. CI, July 20. Par
ties arriving here on the afternoon
train from Bryson -City- tell -of
deadly conflict engaged in last night
about dark near Cherokee, among
some of the Indians of the Chero
kee Reservation, in which one man
was killed and another seriously
wounded.
The dead man is Oberlander Lee
and the injured is a son of Wil
Hornbuckle.
It seems that the Indians had
got into a row after they had tank
ed up on firewater and that Ober
lander was killed in tle affray.
J5am Lee, susDecting that a son
of Will Hornbuckle was the one
who caused his brother's death, is
alleged to have picked, up a rock
and hurled it at the head of Iforn
buckle, almost killing him. .
- Hornbuckb was alive this morn
ing . and Lee was placed under
arrest. m
