tNatiOnaIism.

Ed. VoICE:-A few months prior to
the opening of the Cherokee Strip.
Secretary HOke Smith made use Of
sentence which, with little change in
the wording, should be made the bat
tle-cry of the people in the future
conflict for equality, viz: "The Grip
pie on foot will stand as good
chance as the man on 4 Kentucky
thorough Bred Secretary Smith
dared at least to raise the question Of
the weak against the strong, even
though, some time thereafter, on ac-
cout Of existing laws, he did have TO
confess his inability to carry out his
championship OF the rights of the
poor. The Strip was opened accord
ing to the usual barbaric method,
and the cripple on foot stood not the
least chance Of obtaining home
within It's borders.
In the use Of his now famous ex.
preston, the Secretary Of the Inter-
iOr has certainly placed cudgel in
the hands Of the people with which
to battle for equality and right. II
it is right for the cripple on foot to
stand as good a chance in the pursuit
OF home in the Strip as the man on
Kentucky thoroughbred, then it is
right in other pursuits and industries
for the crippled in body or mind TO
stand as good chance as the able
bodied and the able.minded. The
government should see that the Grip
pie has as good food and raiment as
the well and strong. 1t should pro.
vide employment by Matchmaking in
dustry, and distribute to every citi.
zen sufficient food and raiment for
such service as he is able to render.
Yours for political progress,
c. L. CLAYTON.

Friday the Daily Mail published
the fact that 0. NJ. Howard, of the
PEOPLES VOICE had received a letter
from his son Richard. 1t will be re-
membered that Richie as he was
called, was the editor of the Denver
Star, an interesting little sheet which
he had published since he was about
ten years old. He went to the Nation
al Democratic convention with the
GreyStOne club Of Denver and with
the club put up at the Palmer Heuse.
The club returned and Richie re-
mained canvasSing for his paper. The
Palmer House presented him a bill
which he disputed and they had him
arrested for obtaining board under
false pretense. When it came to trial
they changed the charge to disOrderly,
gave him mock fine and let him 20.
Since that time, July 8, 1892, his
parents have had no trace of him until
last week when his father received a
letter forwarded here from Colorado
Springs. Mr.. Howard immediately
communicated with his son and to-day
received two more letters in answer
In explanation of his conduct he
says:
"On the 4th of July they sent me a
bill for $3.50. ] said it was too much
and tried to compromise with them
but they would not, and set me out
side the door. went up to the room
to get my clothes and they were gone
left my watch upstairs in my valise
and they got that and the rest. Their
| went to the Commercial House fol
a week. Meanwhile | got the chief
Of-pOlice, city and county officers
president and secretary of the board
trade and Others on my subscription
list. Then | run out Of papers and
went to the Palmer House to get some
| had left on the table. Palmer'S pri
yate secretary called me to him and
said he wanted me to 90 with him and
| said all right. He took me to police
headquarters and swOre out a warrant
for my arrest. They put me in the
Lleutenant'S room over night and
next morning | was tried and fined
s25 and costs, and they sent me to a
cell. When court adjourned the jus.
tice sent for me and said that | was
all right, and he and three of his as.
SistantS subscribed for The Star. The
reporters were there and got it and
thought | was disgraced and l went
and got job on a boat and went over
the lake to Pennsylvania; stayed there
awhile, then returned to Waukeegan,
80 miles north of Chicago, and STAYED
there all last winter and summer, and
came down here (ChicagO) this fall"
He further states that after he got
on the other side Of the lakes he saw
he had made a mistake by not going
home and felt like committing suicide
and was sure his father would never
forgive him, so concluded he never
would return. Richie was 10 years old
II days after he disappeared, and has
been away from home nearly a year
and half. He is now working for a
wholesale firm in Chicago.

TIE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
Looking After the Aum and Ammo
MIA Baking Pwdsr.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
A bill for the act entitled, "An
Act to Regulate the Tariff in Baking
Powder" has been introduced in the
legislature at Springfield, by Mr..
Nohe. The bill is intended to pre-
vent the adulteratiOn Of baking pow
ders with ammonia or alum, imposing
proper penalties to enforce the law,
etc. This shows an earnest desire on
the part of our representatives to
protect their constituents.
The Chicago Tribune, referring TO
the question Of legislation on alum
and ammonia 1aking powders, says:
ut deals in direct manner with an
evil that must be cut down."
Following is partial list OF the
names OF the brands sold in this
state that have been examined and
found TO contain either ammonia or
alum. Many Of the alum and ammo
mia baking powders are labeled and
advertised as absolutely pure" to
mislead the public.
Calumet "Grant'S BOn Bon,"
"HOtel, ," "Taylor's One Spoon," Chi.
cago Yeast" "Climax," Monarch, ("
"Mokaska," Manhattan" "K. c."
Loyal" "FOrest City,"
In addition to the above list there
is multitude Of brands sold with a
prize. 1t is safe to reject all baking
powders sold with a prize, as tests
show they are composed largely Of
alum and costs but a few cents per
pound. Also refuse any baking pow
der sold at twenty-five cents pound,
or less; it is sure to contain alum.
Surely nothing but their cheapness
could induce the public to expert
ment with these impure powders at
the risk Of health. Aside from the
question of health or the wholesome
ness of the condemned powders, and
viewed from the standpoint of econ
omy alone, pure grape cream of tar
tar baking powder like "Dr. Prices" "
from its greater known strength and
unQuestiOnable purity, will prove
more economical to the user in every
way.
