Many Of the contributions to the
Forum are too long. In the future we
must insist that they be made shorter.
Most of them could be condensed into
6Oo words. Ifthis is done it will en-
able the REPRESENTATIVE to print
mere and a greater variety. Here
after the shorter letters will be
given preference. Write them on one
side Of the paper only. If written on
both sides they will not be printed I'M
der any circumstances.
Write them plainly and with ink.
Do not crowd the lines closely to-
gether. A plainly written letter con-
forming to these rules will stand by far
the best chance to be printed.
Within certain proper limitations
we admit the widest liberty of thought
and expression upon the part of our
corresponden ts, while we do not hold
ourselves responsible for any views
which may be put forth.
The Forum. as its name implies, is a
sort Of debating school, for the discus
sion Of the important questions. OF the
day. We ask our correspondents to
avoid abusive personalities and to
keep clear Of the shoreless and bottom

A GENEROUS OFFER FROM A KIND
FRIEND--L. C. LONG STANDS SPON-
SOR
To the Editor.
Being the lucky winner of the Plym-
outh Rock eggs offered as premium for
subscriptions to the Representative, and
in obedience to the request of the donor
that l acknowledge receipt through the
Representative, hereby do the same.
The eggs are now journeying toward
chickeuhood.
The Immortal Gosh Billings said,
the time to set hen is when the hen is
ready. G'his axiom applies to all things
in life. It will pay every farmer to raise
pure bred poultry, and the P. RS are
among Ike best. Plymouth Rock! His
toric name! The landing place of our
pilgrln fathers, who, fleeing from op~
preston in the old world, fled to an I'M
known wilderness where they could
worship God according to the dictates
Of their own consciences, and "oblige
everybody else to do the same"
If the spirit Of the Pilgrims had not
persisted with them. Shylock would not
have their descendants in his clutches
at the present time.
Awake We children of the mighty he
roes OF 1920; Danish prejudice from your
mind, boom the Representative, and the
Peoples Party, and thereby help to es-
tablish liberty once more in the land Of
our fathers.
l in turn have presented the eggs re-
cesvea to a widow lady, who makes
specially OF raising pure bred poultry.
She now has pen Of each of the fol-
lowing kinds of pure bred chickens

outh Rocks. Her poultry cannot be beat
in the state. She has one $1150 rooster
that struts around and is as handsome
as Gold Standard Republican congress
man, just cut of normal college. Being
true blue populist without vote, she
offers az 8 premium the one sending in
the larges. list OF subscriptions to the
Representative by October first, two
pullets and one coeksrei of any of the
breeds mentioned above To the one
sending the second highest number o.
subscriptions she vii: send q egg of
any breed. l guarantee tba she will Go
as she agrees, or will pay $3.50 ca 3h in
place OF the fowls ami 81 instead Of the
eggs, and as may have some advantage
over most Alliance men in the way of
getting subscriptions, l further agree
not to compete for the prize.

Washington Special.

Stk " okS~A9
The assignment of General Miles to the
of the West Point cabal to prevent the
deserved promotion of a gallant officer be-
cause he does not happen to have the
brand of West Point on him.. The West
Point influence has nearly always ruled
the War Department, and In this instance
Ii made a dead set against Miles. Power
full pressure was brought to bear upon
to pass him over, but they failed TO md
reasons sufficient to justify them in bowling
to the demand. Political, personal and so
cial pulls were worked" for many months
to prejudice the minds of the President
and his War Secretary, but the campaign
has ended in ignominious defeat. and a
volunteer soldier is now at the head OF the
of active service ahead Of him. When the
formal order carrying out the purpose or
the President was held up for a few days
as a notice of high Official ~dfsapproyal OF
General Miles's announcement OF his W
promotion in advance of it's publication
through the War Department channels the
West Pointers hoped the great Indian
priety that would set him back. but now
even tina faint hope is gone, and the aris-
tocracy of the army must bite its lips and
submit to the humiliation Of having a
ssbuck soldier for a commander. IL IS
hard. but the West Pointers may get used
to it in time. Now that one of their own
kind is in a position of power and unques-
toned influence several other splendid offi-
GERS whose promotion has been retarded
and embarrassed because they happened
to graduate from the volunteer service IN
stead of the military academy Will feel that
they will have a better show OF receiving
fair treatment.

A Similar Case.
Buffalo Courier.


The story that the missing link" discov-
cred out West has proved to be the skel-
eton of a nineteenth century monkey owned
by some cowboys sounds suspiciously like
the story of ''the row that broke up our
society upon the Stanislaus." On that oc-
casion. il will be remembered, while Mr..
Brown was reconstructing out of some
bones an animal that was extremely rare,
Mr.. Jones moved a suspension OF the rules
to enable him to show that the bones were
those of one of his lost mules. Whereupon
the sarcastic Mr.. Brown apologized for
trespassing upon Jones's family vault. and
trouble began at once, eliminating under
these painful circumstances:
.sThen Abner Dean OF Angels raised a
point of order, when
A chunk OF old red sandstone took him in
the abdomen:
And he smiled a sickly sort Of smile and
curled up on the floor,
And the subsequent proceedings interested
him no more"
II is due to the professor who discovered
the missing link TO say that his friends
scof at the idea that he could not tell the
difference between a fossil monkey and the
bones of a modern simian. Perhaps the
INSCRIPTIONS cowboys are trying to have
some fun with the man of science.

EAST-BOUND TONNAGE
HEALTHY INCREASE LAST WEEK
OVER wEsT-BoUNp FREIGHT.


The train records show that in the week
ending Oct. S there were Bill fewer loaded
cars received and forwarded at Indianapo-
lis thar in the preceding week, and sci
fewer than in the corresponding week Of
1894. which was the largest loaded car
movement Of the year. But. going back
TO 1893. there were more loaded cars nan
died at this point this year. The exhibit
Of last week would not have fallen short
OF that of the week ending Sept Is but
for the scarcity of cars of some descrip-
ton. as. east bound. there was a marked
Increase In shipments Of grain. cerealine
products and flour. and the shipments of
dressed meats and live stock are again
increasing. AS a consequence e~ast-bound
tonnage Is considerably in excess Of last
month. In west-bound business the ton
mage is not as heavy as last month in
the higher-class freights. but In the lower
class freights an increase is noticeable;
so great is the demand for anthracite
coal. coke and iron structural work that
the roads are troubled to furnish the cars
called for. Yet It is true that it is very
seldom that the freight moving is so
nearly equal in opposite directions. The
Panhandle, for instance, brought in last
week S2 loaded cars and forwarded east
from this point 95 loaded cars. Business
with the no~rth-and-south roads is curtailed
during the depressed time allowed their
freight equipment TO get out Of repair, and
failed to replace worn-out cars with new
ones. and now the folly of such economy
Is made plain. Local business continues
highly satisfactory in its volume. Plat
form business is hardly up to that Of Sep
TENDER. but on the loading and unloading
tracks more business is doing. The bring
