every means in his power corruption in private life." One of the twenty pointed paragraphs on capital is: "If all the existing instrumentalities of wealth could be abolished the first and sever

est suffering would come among those of us who are least well off at pres ent." Of the five paragraphs on character, one declares that "the worth of any sermon lies in the way in which that sermon can be and is applied in practice." "The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight," reads another paragraph taken from the- twenty-three paragraphs on citizenship.

One million copies of the pamphlet it is said,' will be distributed by the Republican national committee. VERY BADLY INJURED A. B.
