Senator Harding who Is beinir
sponsored by the republicans for the
next president of the ITnlted States
has declared against the business of
the South. Tn so many words Sen-
ator Harding says. "To away with
the federal banks do away with gov-
ernment aid to drouth sufferers do
away with federal aid to the cattle-
man und the sheepman nnd the cot-
ton raiser." He says big business
should handle big business and the
government keep their hands off.
Senator Harding seems to have that
feeling In his hear that had the
same possessed President Orant at
the time Jay Gould tried to corner
gold would have rutned this nation.
It is dangerous to place a man In the
chair of the president that does not

cor Its distress and aid Its unfortun

For there is no doubt In my mind
that the explosion was due not to ac-
cident but to design. It la undoubt-
edly a challenge from the forces of
revolution a challenge which must
h met bv the sternest measureo 6
which we are capable. There can
no toneer be the easy toleration for
those who threaten the overthrow of
the government. It means thaf
those who have anarchistic leanings
must be rooted out and placed where
they can do no more damage. Es-
pecially must the parlor revolution-

In anarchism as a fad. who play safe

calculable damage with their
