ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 109 



United States Treasury Department would let him off with a fine, but the 

 rat got into the trap once too often. This time he is sentenced to the peni- 

 tentiary for having broken the revenue law again and again. Have you 

 written a letter to President McKinley concerning them? If not, sit 

 down and write a letter to McKinley and say that you hope in the name 

 of justice that these men who went against the laws of their country so 

 many times shall go behind the bars and suffer the penalty. The politi- 

 cians are after Wilkins to save him and begging for his release. The 

 Courts have said he should go there and the President is wavering. If 

 he should get fifty letters from 111 Inois it would have something to do 

 with the next election. I have written four letters to city friends; I have 

 written to McKinley to let Wilkins and that other rascal pay the penalty, 

 andheha.salsoreceivedlettersfromscor.es of men to let them' out. 

 Write; do it. Take it up in earnest. 



I cannot tell you about Wilkins; if you knew the corruption of these 

 two men you would not hesitate to write, not one, but fifty letters, and it 

 would aid us all to stand together. If you knew how powerful you are if 

 you stand together. We have got along so easily we do not realize what 

 we have got to fight for — a purer and better civilization. 



I commenced by telling you of the Babcock test and will clos^ by 

 saying I come down here again with that problem solved. I ask you now, 

 as I did when I went home before, to work together and with us for the 

 solution of these great educational problems.
