THE STRIKE.

One OF the most serious disturbances
that has affected this country, is the
present railroad strike which has as
sumed large dimensions.
Stop the internal commerce of this
country and you strike the death blow
10 our industries, rob hungry mouths OF
food, and deprive men, women and
children of rights and immunities fol
which our forefathers bled and died, and
which are guaranteed by the constitu-
ton. The strike is the offspring of the
corruption of the Pullman Car Company.
That Pullman has robbed his labOrers
of their just dues, there can be no
doubt. That the strike, SO far rs it tool
from his shops the workmen, was JUS
tifiable, II strikes are ever j~ustifiable,
there likewise can be no doubt.
To this point public sentiment was
with the strikers. The profits of the
labor, (proits the products of legisla-
tion,) were not being equally or justly
distributed. Pullman was amasslng
fortunes at the expense of starva-
ton and distress Of his laborers. lie
deserves no sympathy, and gets none.
His men we're justified in leaving his
shops. But at this point they should
have stopped. Organized labor nor
organized capital have q right to OPP
press innocent persons. Life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness are guar
anteed by this government, and the
moment that president Debs called out
the employees of other institutions, that
moment he parted with public sym
patty.
The railroad employees have no griev-
noes They are beng treated fairly
by the companies in whose service they
are, and those dependent upon them
were in the midst of peace and plenty.
But Debs said strike, and strike they
did. The switchmen quit work that
they might devote their time to SYM
pathy for the Pullman employees. As
q consequence trade is stagnated,
thousands are suffering, men are shot
down like dogs, and property belonging
to parties not interested, is being
destroyed. Yes, in the language OF
Grant, s.let us have peace"
The conditions should be such that
men who are enjoying prosperity can
not be ordered from work at the whim
of one man or Q set of men. Down with
the corruption OF Pullman and his like;
up with the people, and down with the
right of any man or set of men, to de-
clare that q fellow man shall not hon.
estly toll at q certain place for the sup
port Of himself or family. Settle these
differences by arbitration, that inno-
parties may not suffer the hot
headed fights between employer and
employee.

Some Food Tests.

The official food analysis, by the
United States and Canadian govern
ments, have been studied with interest.
The United States government report
gives the names of eighteen well-knOwn
baking powders, some of them adver-
tised as pure cream O~f-tartar powders,
which contain alum.
The report shows the Royal TO he a
pure cream of-tartar baking powder,
the highest in strength, evolving 1906
cubic inches Of ~leavening gas per single
ounce of powder. There were eight
other brands of cream-Of-tartar powders
tested, and their average strength was
III s. cubic inches of gas per unc of
powder.
The Canadian government investiga-
tons were of a still larger number Of
powders. The Royal Baking Powder
was here also shown the purest and
highest in strength, containing 1892
cubic inches of leavening gas per ounce
Of powder. Nine other cream-of-tartar
powders were tested, their average
strength bling reported to he 80 cubic
inches of gas per ounce.
These figures are very instructive to
the practical hOusekeeper. They in
dictate that the Royal Baking Powder
goes more than 81 per cent further in
use than the others, or is one-third more
economical. Still more important than
this, however, they prove this popular
article has been brought to the highest
degree of purity-for to its superlative
purity this superiority in strength is
due-and consequently that by its use
we may be insured the purest aud most
wholesome food.
The powders of lower strength are
found to leave large amounts of impuri-
ties in the food. This fact is empha-
sized by the report Of the Ohio State
Food Commissioner, who, while finding
the Royal practically pure, found no
other powder to contain less than ten
per cent of inert or foreign matters.
The statistics show that there is used
in the manufacture OF the Royal Baking
Powder more than half of all the cream
Of-tartar consumed in the United States
for all purposes. The wonderful sale
thus indicated for the Royal Baking
P0wder-greater than that Of all other
baking powders combined-is perhaps
ever q higher evidence than that
already quoted of the superiority of this
article, and of its indispensableness to
modern cookery.

POPULIST %CONVGNTION,

wi
The populists OF the fifth congressional
district assembled at Odessa, or Wednss-
day OF this week, and nominated John 8.
Crosby, of Kansas City. for congress.
Col. Benjamin Elliott, OF this county,
was chosen chairman of the convention.
A platform was adopted, which embraces
the doctrines OF that party. Mr.. Crosby,
the nominee of the convention. spoke
about thirty minutes In accepting the
nomination. He pledged his best efforts
to win the campaign, and, IL elected, TO
carry out the principles of his party.
The following Is the platform they
adopted:
1.-THE peoples party Of the fifth con-
gr~essional district OF Missouri, In delegate
convention assembled. would re-assert its
faith In the principles of the Omaha
platform, believing that subsequent
wants AVE fully vindicated the correct
ness of every utterance Of said platform
and we further resolve:
"First-We believe that the money OF
the country should be national currency,

"Second-We are opposed to the issui
of interest bearing bonds by b n~ationa
government, for any purpose, and demant
that when revenues fall short of the need
of government the deficiency ehould b.
supplied by n~on-interest- bearing treasury
notes, or promises receivable for taxes and
all dues, both public and private.
"Third-We are opposed to tarif taxes
which are Q hindrance to our trade, ant

DECRPTION,

- AA3OA1A AO
"The mistakes and blunders of the
democratic party have caused all the
troubles which prevail in the country
today"
The above, from the st. Joseph
Herald, is a fair sample Of the hypoc-
risy and deceit Of the republican party.
That party owes its existence to fraud
and deception. The average ordinary
republican congressman has about as
much of patriotism about him as the
hog has reverence for the Sabbath day.
The high protection, monometallistic,
force bill politicians have used every
means In their power to throw the
burden of their own foul deeds upon
some one else. But they can't do it.
Their pet laws still rule the country,
and their stuffed barons are still steal
Ing the peoples money through the
administration of the Mckinley bill.
Strikes, riots, debts, bad laws, and
discontented people, 10 the legacy the
republicans left the democrats, and
now they are doing all in their power
to s~ubstantiate their right to existence,
upon the misfortunes Of the people
governed by their pernicious legisla,
ton. The political rot that appears in
the columns Of u republican
exchanges would have done very vel
in the days when school houses wer,
unknown, but in this enlightened ag'
1t Is seed sown on barren ground. Hal
1t not been for the illibustering of tn,
republican senators and congressman
the business Of this country would hav'
been in q settled condition, and tn
tariff barons placed where, with tn
rest of mankind, they would have ha'
to make their money honestly.

A Wonderful Invention.

The latest and most remarkable i'm
provement in food products is the new
Horsford's Baking Powder, which has
attained such enormous sales In this
vicinity during the past few months, and
which promises to displace the old fash
toned kinds because OF the greatly super
ior results obtained by It's use. This
powder excels in three important partic-
nlars. viz: Baking strength, healthful-
ness, and purity. One and one-half tea
spoonfuls will produce better results than
two full ~teaspoonfuls of the best Of other
kinds. All other baking powders are
composed OF either alum or cream oil
tartar. both of which leave a physic In
the bread, while this powder is strictly a
pure phosphate powder, and is OF itself q
natural healthful article OF food, bene-
fetal to all. Every ingredient is strictly
pure. 1t contains no alum, cream tartar
or ammonia. TT I'm.
