The following from the New York
World is a just recognition of a great
truth:
"a morning newspaper refers con-
temptuously to the men assembling in
Cincinnati as the delegates of the dis,
contented.' The men in question may
be very wise or very unwise-what they
do will determine that-but it is no re-
proach to them that they are the dele
gates of the discontented,' The Con-
gress which adopted the declaration of
independence was composed wholly of
the delegates of the discontented, and SO
has been every other gathering of men
which has instituted any of the great
reforms of history. 1t is not a reproach
to a man to be disconnected. The Hamp-
dens, the Patrick Henrys, the Jetfersons,
the Adamses, the Franklins and all the
rest of liberty's lovers have been the
disconnected and the delegates of the
disconnected, and it was their discomfort
that made them the benefactors of man.
kind and the scourges of wrong. Every
man of honest mind is disconted with
wrong, injustice and oppression and is
at war with those things, whether on his
own account or in behalf of his fellow
men. Discomfort is the motive power of
human progress. 1t has accomplished
the overthrow Of despotic power and the
emancipation of the people so far as
those ends are accomplished. 1t alone
can complete. that work. 1t sometimes
errs in its objects and methods, but it
would be the saddest of all days for hui
man kind on which discomfort should be
eliminated from the list of active forces
or the delegates of the disconnected
should be made to hold their peace.

The Peoples Party Platform.

The following is the full text OF the
platform adopted by the convention at
Cincinnati, May 1920:
/. That in view of the great social,
industrial aud economical revolution now
dawning on the civilized world and the
new and living issues confronting the
American people, we believe that the
time has arrived for a crystallzatlon OF
the political reform forces of our coun-
try and the formation of what should be
known as the Peoples Party OF the UNI
ted States of America.
>. That we most heartily ind0rSe the
demands Of the platforms As adopted at
st. Louis, Mo-, in 1889; Ocala, Fla, IN
1890, aud Omaha, Neb., in 1891, by In

On steamboats,, cars and stage coaches,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is carried as
the most important item in the materia
medca of the travelling public. 1t de-
prives vitiated, brackish water of its
hurtful properties and execrable flavor,
counteracts the pernicious effects upon
the stomach of bad or indigestible food,
remedies cramps, heartburn and wind
upon the stomach. 1t is fine defense
against malarial disorders, nullifies the
effects of excessive heat, cold and damp,
relieves sick headache, and is an incom-
parable cure for costiveness and bilious
ness. The fatigue of travel often tells
most disastrously upon invalids and con-
valescents, occasionally to such an extent
as to jeopardize life. Persons in feeble
health, apprehensive of bad effects from
travel, will, if provided with the Bitters
be far less likely to have their fears
realized.

While the public has become well
acquainted with Baby Mckee, there has
been a thick veil of mystery enshroud-
ing1the movements of Baby McKee's
father. The statement is now made
that he has never crossed the threshold
of the White House, where his wife has
been a constant visitor since the in
auguration. But whether that story
is a true bill or merely an old wives
fable, IL is certainly singular that no

such road should be closed. The town
ship officers do no work upon them, they
grow up into biiars and brambles, and

TiIE decision Of the House Committee
on Territories TO report favorably bill
providing for the opening Of the Cher
okee Strip" 10 homestead entries is verv
important Negotiations in regard to
this strip have been going on for some
time, and there is a great pressure on the
borders Of the strip already. which will
certainly increase to the breaking point
as soon as spring comes.
This Cherokee strip is the long tract Of
land reaching from east 10 west along
the northern border Of the Indian Terri
tory to 40 mans land" The Cherokees
leased It for years to cattle companies and
derived sone revenue from the lease
This state Of things could not continue,
and the governments proposition 10 buy
the strip at 81 p per acre has been under
consideration for some time.
There were some opposition bids from
the cattle companies, who did not like TO
lose a profitable lease, but the govern
ment has the prior right, and its propo-
sition il fair one. Ifihe bin is parsed
before the adjournment Of Congress the
strip may be opened this spring, and the
Territory of Oklahoma viii receive a sub
stantisl addition in area, resources and
population.

"THr dry goods trade is on the whole
very satisfactory for the season. The in
creasing demand for wool, though still
confined TO actual need for consumption,
proves that the current prices, low as
they are, do otarrest production" Upon
which the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette
says; This must be very confusing to
the free traders, who have been steadily
and stoutly maintaining that woclen
goods had gone up in price and would
continue 10 increase as a result Of the
tariff Prices are not only low, accord
ing TO the authority quoted, but, low as
they are, they do not arrest production
This is in such harmony with the pro-
tective principle that it is not at all TO be
wondered at The people, many of them,
were needlesslv disturbed last fall over
the gloomy predictions concerning the
effect of the Mckinley act, but if they
only have the patience to wait until the
legitimate fruits Of the law are fully man
ifested they will be more than satisfied" !"
