Vole It Down.

A little over one hundred and thirty years ago after the thirteen original colonies had been settled, while the country was taking root and the lads who were to show the mothercountry her inferiority by throwing off her old despotic yoke and assuming the responsibility of self government, were growing into stalwart manhood. A witty Frenchman compared the people of England to a barrel of their own beer froth at the top, dregs at the bottom but clear and sound in the middle. * Happily, it was by the middle class that America was settled and this left England little else than froth and dregs and these it still continues to be.

Slowly 'for a long time but now rapidly, things in America are assuming the same aspect and unless checked in their course, in time our condition will be as deplorable as that of England. Now is the time to check them, not by dispensing with the froth as it seems some are in favor of doing, but by simply voting it down and bringing some of the sound clear middle to the top. Certainly this can not be done by voting with cither of the old parties which have long been in power and now have nothing in them but froth and dregs. H. P F.
