PS EES In the house of representatives re- cently Mr. Ralney, known as the lone Democratic member from Illinois, conducted what he called a kinder- garten for the stand patter Republi- cans. His arguments were unanswer- able, at no time during the debate could his opponents score a point and he closed complete master of the situation amid the applause of the members on both sides. —— J, OGDEN ARMOUR in an article in The Saturaay Evening Post. denies the existance of a beef trust or a private car munoply. lf there is no trust why is it that on a certain date in January, 1906, beef on the block sold at the highest figure it had svld in5years and the same date live cattle sold at the lowest figure they have offered for in 5 years? Do the people need a series of ar- ticles in some unscrupulous magizine been to prove that somethings wrong? ae SHaw’s presidential boom seems to have been punctured by the action of Iowa Republicans who show a disposition to stand by SECRETARY Governor Cummings. Shaw has proven his faithfulness to the inter- est of Wall Street, the banks and other moneyed interests, while Cum- mings has shown his loyalty to the productive elements of his state. ‘The masses of the people are not to be fooled all the time, they have been played as fools by the Shaw, Forakers and Aldricks, until now they, regard= less of past party affiliation, demand justice and equal opportunities. ‘There is no more use for such men as Shaw, Foraker, Fairbanks or Joe Cannon to run for president, with a hope of success, than it would for Taylor, the murderer of Gobel, to go back to Kentucky and escape the gallows. The party whu nomi- nates a man whose political opinions are not well known and approved by the common people, will go down to defeat—the defeat will be so positive and overwhelming that they will think an earth quake struck them. ‘There are plenty of men in both par- ties whose official acts and private life fit them for the presidency; and the people ought to get up and be doing someting while it is day, least the night come when no man can work. If every man who is in accord with the sentiments herein express— his duty as citizen, himself posted on public questions and attends the primaries, one of the following men can be land- ed in the White House and a congress to work in harmony with the presid- entcan be elected.

J Bryan, Robert M, LaFollette, Join S. Williams, Joseph H. Folk, Tom L. Johnson, Heneen, of Ilinois, Jno. A. Johnson Weaver, of Phila- delphia and Bailevjof Texas, Not one of these men could get the endorse- ment of Wall Street and the people ought to love them tor they make. pease auth Wo. R. Heansz, congressman from a New York City district and pub- lisher of the San Fancisco Examiner, Chicago American and New York Journal, is a great leverage to elevate labor and productive industry to their proper heights. Heis a multi-mil- lionaire and if he sometimes uses his wealth lavishly its done in the intere est of down trodden humanity. He strenously advocates in congress and through his press the rights of the — Goy, the enimies that advocates, reform; his influence | | is being felt among all classes and in every part of the country. Tlis doe- trine.of public ownership is correct and ‘will ultimatly triumph. Tae press of the United States has been largely controlled by the moneyed interests and as a result only_doc- trinés emenating from that source had been:set forth, but thank God, the other side of the subject is being read inevery home. The American people have got their eyes open and can see what they are up against, This is an age of industrial organiz- ations, a few men seize for themselves entire industries that formerly occu- pied thousands of proprietors. The world has never seen such enormous opportunities for making money sud- denly, the iron and steel plants are combined, bonds are issued for twice what they, are worth and a billion dollars of watered stock is added on to that, it means that the little peo- ple under the big feet that see pictures in the Chicago American have got to pay interest on all that money. Mr. Hearst is digging iato the inside workings of these big con- cerns, so the people can be face to face with the facts as they exist. Mr. Hearst and thousands of other able men and women too, have been busy in picturing out and bringing to the public gaze hidden corruption. The campaign of 1896, with its millions of corruption fund, did more to build up gigantean monopolies and trusts than anything else that happened for a century, the trusts were encouraged by the promise vf special priviledges, that ever since they have struck right and left, till they today control every important industry. But a wave of refurm is sweeping with mighty rapidity from ocean to ocean and from the north boundary to the Gu!f. We need not dispair, for the Ameri- can people are thoughtful, resourse- ful and progressive and when the opportunity preseats itself, with the ba'lot, strike down this boa-constric- tor wherever it raises its serpentile head. ———__ Tue Democratic National Platform in 1896 and 1900 criticised the sup- reme court for its adverse decision on the income tax. A majority of the judges voted in favor of the mea- sure, but Judge Jackson changed his mind after taking a nap over the matter for 12 hours and rendered a negative decision and by killing this important revenue feature of the law a deficit was the inevitable result, hence the necessity for issuing bonds appeared. The criticism was mild compared to the language used by President Roosevelt in his special message iv regards to Judge Hum- phrie’s decisicn in the beef trust case, yet the same newspapers that called Bryan an anarchist in both these campaigns and the Democrats a band of socialist gurilias and cut throats, are now the loudest in their praise of the president. There bas been a great many things happened in the last 10 years to demonstrate that Mr. Bryan’s contentions were right and his judgement sound, in his refer- ences to the money question he al- ways contended that put more money in circulation would make better times. the Republicans claimed there was plenty of money, but it was in hiding, but time proved Bryan was right, for not with standiog McKinley was elected, times continued to grow worse till the increased gold preduc- |’ tion in 1898 to 1900 nearly doubled the circulating medium of the country. Political policies had nething to do with it. Mr. Bryan claimed the Re- publicans were in league with the corporations to defeat him, but it “was denied by the committee and the truth never would have come to light only for the Armstrong committee. Mr. Bryan predicted that by reason of the promise by the Republicans to the corporation syndicates and trusts of special favors in the way of legis- lation that the trusts in 10 years would be able to control every im- portantindustry. Let the American people answer whether this prophesy has been fulfilted: Bryan Stood in °96-'00 for tariff reform and claimed then as he does now that a protective tariff was,a breeder of trusts. Does any one but a few standpatters deny. that proposition today? He assuiled congress and so one’ could go on en- umerating plank after plank, princi- pal after principal, that Mr. Bryan advocated 10 years ago and today three-forths of the Americam people acquise in. But these campaigns have been educational, the majority of the people are not fools, they are capable of learning, now they know exactly where they stand, they can no longer be deceived. oe WHY’ SHE LEFT THE MEETING, Aunt L.’s Reasons Not Connected with Theology. In the little Baptist chapel in the picturesque town of Eastport, Me., many years ago, the minister request- ed al persons present not members of the church to retire at the close of the meeting. Good old Aunt L., who had reached the age of fourscore, aid who was one of its most respected members, arose to leave. “It does not apply to you, Aunt L,,” said the minister. “That is not the reason I am going, dear,” she responded; “I have a pain in my stomach.”—Boston Herald. + Milllons Saved by Anesthetics. There is no guessing how many thousands of lives were lost before the days of anesthesia merely be cause the pain of thé operation nec- essary to save them was too great to be borne. Anesthesia predates asepsis by thirty years, and so belongs to another period in the history of sur- gery, but it is so fundamental to all the wonders that surgery is now work- ing that its discovery is an inevitable part of any account of surgery’s won- derful achievements. Modern sur- gery is not only painless and germ- less; it is also bloodless. A patient can be opened and his stomach taken out, and yet hardly lose more blood than if he had accidentally cut his finger. ki Teal Slip Out of Hunters’ Reach. Teal leave the water with astonish- ing smartness, and if the shooting. is in brush the gunner is likely to be reminded of the thunderous grouse, by the way those brown bantams, the blue-wings, slip out of reach of his sudden storm of lead. And how they can go when they discover what their danger is! I have stood im the cat- tails by a pond at evening when the teal were coming in to roost and have seen them burst into a speed, upon de- tecting me, that required a 20-foot swinging lead to stop at 40 yards. They are handsome birds, too, these teal, and gross is the man that can chuck, them in bis shooting coat with- out a glance of admiration at the trim lines of them.—Lynn Bogue Hunt, in “Shooting Ducks on Middle Western Ponds,” in The Outing Magazine. The Wife as a Banker. Women are savers rather than spenders. And when they spend they spend to good advantage. A dollar in a woman’s hands goes twice as far as a dollar in the hands of 8 man. If you want to save money let your wife be the banker. This is for the man who gets wages out of a job and for the man who gets a salary out of a position. This is for the workingman, whether he labors with his hands or toils with his brain. This is for the married man and for the man about to be married. It is for men in every class of life and every walk of life. It is the best advice for the average man everywhere.—Indianapolis Sen- tinel. About Advice. “One of the biggest mistakes in life,” said Spurgeon, “next to believ- ing that some, folk know better than one’s self, is not believing that others do know better.” The difficulty in get- ting good advice is just the difficulty in finding who is really clever enough to give it, and who is interested in one enough to give it, or honest enough to give it. The man who will not ask his way often finds himself in a humiliating position. Advice light- ly and recklessly given stamps the giver as unscrupulous, just as advice lightly sought stamps the seeker as a fool. Spoke as. an Oracle. An employe of the Grand Opera House was in conversation with Man- ager Middleton the other day, and there was a question as to whether a blonde or a brunette had the quicker temper. The answer of the employe to the inquiry left a doubt in the mind of his listeners. He said: “I am ina position to answer that question from experience. My wife has been both blonde and brunette, and I find she can show spirit under each condition.” The name of the gentleman is sup- pressed for obvious reasons.—Brook- lyn Eagie, Allowed One Whack. ; Sek aicrss, one of the es in Marblehead, was called to quell a disturbance. ‘When he arrived at the scene of the trouble, one of the parties in the dispute explained how the other low had aggravated and insulted and said that if he could have | more whack at him he would Office and Residence carner Leland avenue Slav ‘Grand Fks.Lv C..L.
