The kitchen was lighted only by one

This verbatim report nf Mckinley's

toward the sugar industry was and is.
II is the attitude Of every Republican

movement to turn the surplus popula-
ton Of cities toward the country and
at the same time to improve rural con-
ditions. The work will be confined at
first to Westchester county, N. Y,
where the first agricultural university
school will be opened March 4. 1t is
assumed that there is need of greater
skill and knowledge on the farm, and
therefore the aim in the instruction
will not be so much to increase the
production as to obtain maximum
yields on less acreage, reducing the
cost and improving the quality.

WHAT ARE THE "ISMS?"

Some Questions Many Populists Would
Like to Have Answered.
A question or two, suggested by the
meeting of the national populist COM
mittee at st. Louis:
l. Is the demand for postal savings
banks, owned and operated by the gov
eminent (people) to be "dropped?"
2. Is the demand for public owner
ship and operation of the means of
transportation by the government (peo-
ple) to be ''dropped?"
3. Is the demand for public owner
ship and operation of the telegraph by
the government people) to be
''dropped?"
4. Is the demand for public owner
ship of the telephone by the govern
ment (people) to be ''dropped?"
S. Is the proposed amendment to the
constitution, providing for civil service
examinations of government employees
to be ''dropped?"
6. Is the demand for the withholding
of land and all natural resources of
wealth from speculation for the bene-
fit of all the people-''whose heritage
they are"-to be ''dropped?"
2. Is the proposition-now accepted
by millions through the teachings of
the "radicals"-that' wealth belongs
to him who creates it, and every dollar
taken from industry without an equiv
alent is robbery" is this to be
''dropped?'
6 Is the commentator of the 'Ieg-
islative system known as the initiative
and referendum" to be ''dropped?'
The Coming Nation propounds these
questions for the reason that the St
Louis meeting informs the peoples
party of the United States that all the
''isms'' are to be dropped" Do our
questions cover the 'isms?" If not,
then in what do these ''isms" consist7
