LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

The Present Pose of Larry Sherman of Illinois. During this last session of congress the Hon. Lawrence Y. Sherman, with superb gall, sneered at the president and at the “dear people,” and spoke of the boiling hell of the original text of the peace treaty which he considers as squelched. He also had a sneer for the more pious days when Providence —meaning God — was consulted by lawmakers, and says: “Few officials handle public business with the economy and vigilance used in private life.” And he has something to say some people who are willing to exploit another’s pocketbook. All this by honest Larry Sherman. In the days of Mr. Sherman’s young manhood, he was elected to a seat In the Illinois state legislature, and, strange to relate, it was during his first term in that body that the notorious Allen law was passed. It was a measure bought and paid for, and so rotten and causing such disgust that it only lived through the vacation iperiod. Its exposure by the newspapers was a sensation not to be forgottenPeople remember episodes of that character, don’t they, Mr. Sherman? I mean “the dear people,” Larry. Have we forgotten that upon that occasion, under the withering wrath of your sovereign people, onte of your associates in the legislature at that time died of humiliation when his part in the exploit became known. Eh, Mr. Sherman? My neighbor received $40,000, others were proven to have received $60,000. Of the 22 “honorable men” concerned in absorbing of that huge money only three survived politically. Mr. Sherman has prospered since entering public life and has gathered iplentious stores of shekels and cartwheel coins of the realm, and, presumably, he might own many yoke of oxen and a drove of dromedaries if he so desired. When this honorable gentleman spoke of a boiling hell he merely crossed his wires, for his bell is the hell of the anarchist that first destroys woman and then the nation, as we see it today in poor, blind, ignorant Russia. God pity her! And God pity us when our elected officers become corrupt and use their vast powers to further and advance their own vile plans. We have a slimy, slobbering red monster demon in our very midst, digging deep into the fabric of v our nation’s life. Seemingly It dethrones reason and if we listen Intently ~the -ona word that stands out Is destroy. This monster seems to be everywhere—on the railway. In the mines, in our .shops, in the market and leaving its slime even on the pulpit stairs. Even now it stands before the altar of our liberty and it mutters "Destroy!” ' Men of Mr. Sherman’s type, by
