WASHINGTON, Feb, 13 he great political, social | economic reforms for which the people of the United tates are clamoring will be gained Without recourse to bomb and barricade,” said Congressman G, W., Norris of Nebraska here today, discussing a speech by Judge FE H. Gary of the Steel trust in New York, in which Gary predicted that revolu- tion in America is near “These reforms are being accomplished daily by the ac- tions of the people,” Norris continued, “which are prompted by 4 great unrest. Evolution, not revoletion, will be the saving of the country “No better evidence of this fact could be asked than the at- titude of those very sepreenienties of vast aggregations of wealth who are predicting a revolutlon. They have already seen the handwriting on the wall, they are already convinced that the time for reform is at hand, and they know that the people demand it and mean to have it. “These men are already planning to accede to the people's demands, anf when they have done so a revolution will be needless “The American people, throughout history, have accom- plished great reforms peacefully+-by the force of moral movements. “I notice President Taft has the ‘mob idea.’ In his speech last night he shows his entire inability to grasp the progres- sive movement's significance when he assumed that progres- sivism if synonymous with revolution, that the sincere friends of popular government are ‘nevrotics and enotionalists,” The teason President Taft cannot understand this matter is dis- closed in his utterance before the New York Bar association, where he flatly announced his belief that the people are not fit- ted for self-government.” (Ry United Frees Leased Wire) | Gary. chairman of the board of dl- WASHINGTON, Feb. | 13.—Pre- rectors of the U. 8.

Before her eyes, lolling on soft cushions, bedecked with jewels, protected by rich furs, rides a daughter of Mammon, born to luxury, who works not at all.

He has worked, gone cold and hungry, been lashed by the fiend of profit-making for 56 hours per week, that he might help father feed the motherless children back there in a hovel in the alley, At 14 years of age he is 64 years old.

Bread, fuel, rental, clothes, medicine for five for $5.98! Away with him! He’s hopeless. : : Blood, tears, suffering beyond description, shame to the lowest depths, the ruin of children, are all in these figures, dear reader. Awful figures! They cry out in terrible appeal that God must some time an- swer, though all others be deaf. They impeach the virtue of our daughters in their comfortable homes. They proclaim that the happy youth and bright prospects of our boys are stolen from others. They shriek across the centuries to give the lie to our claim of progression from barbarism.
