The secret of success and becomingness
In the dress of girls is simplicity. When
a girl has reached the age when she ia
without the curves of childhood and has
the stature of the young woman without

somewhat difficult to costume in a pretty

The Chicago Journal is anxious to

The Journal is a nice little paper,
but to tell the truth, its position On the

will say, comes from sources entirely
satisfactory to ourselves.

NATIONAL ALLIANCE DEMANDS.
Adopted at Washington, D. c., February
E, 1896.

WHEREAS, The Declaration of indie
pendence, as a basis for a r publican
form of Government that might be
progressive and perpetual, states:
THAT all men are created equal
that they are endowed with certain in
alienable rights; that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness; that to secure these rights, gov
ernmonts are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers FROM the
governed"
We hold, therefore, that to restore
and preserve these rights under a
Republican form of government, pri-
vate monopolies Of public necessities
for speculative purposes, whether of
the means Of production, distribution
or exchange, should be prohibited, ard
whenever any such public necessity or
utility becomes q monopoly in private
hands, the people of the municipality,
state or union, as the case may be,
shall appropriate the same by right of
eminent domain, paying q just value
therefor, and operate them.tor, and IN
the interest OF, the whole people.
FINANCE.
We demand a national currency,
safe, sound and fex BILE issued by the
general government only; q full legal
tender for all debts and receivable for
all dues, and an equitable and efficient
means of distribution OF this currency,
directly to the people, at the minimum
of expense and without the interVen
ton of banking corporations and in
sufficient volume to transact the bust
ness Of the country on g cash basis.
(a) We demand the free and unlim
tied coinage of silver and gold at the
legal ratio of 16 to l.
Q) We demand a graduated income
tax.
(J That our national legislation shall
be so framed IN the future as not to
build up one industry It the expeI Sc
Of another.
(d) We behave that the money Of the
country should be kept SIS much as
possible IN the hands OF the people,
ard hence we demand that I'll Naticnal

me"t for the safe deposit Of savings
Of the people, and to facilitate ex-

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1896-06-23

We demand that no land shall lie

purposes or By railroads in excess Of
their needs as carriers, and all lands
now owned by aliens should he re
claimed by the government and held

EXECTION OF UNITED STATES SENATOR'S.

lievlng that a majority of them. when

III tle last issue of the Broadway
trying to explain why the seniors
should not write upon themes and sub
nit their papers to the board of visitors
for criticism and from those considered
the best, all points bain. considered, a
certain number will be chosen to repre-
sent the class at the closing exercises.
This plan was decided upon by the
board, Supt. EIson and Principals
Colburn and Bowman. We find the
following interesting editorial in the
Pioneer Press upon the same subject
which will perhaps convince the young
people that their friends prefer to
listen to their efforts rather than some
one who has cultivated wonderful
oratoricai powers and would be able to
stand up and gush and puff for two
steady hours, and when through have
said little to impress any one who
had heard him.
The fair maids Of Eassar are reported
to hayc petitioned their college author
tiles to allow them to do away with
commencement ESSAYS in the future
and substitute therefore an address by
some gifted and well known orator of
public life. The plea is that the COM
mencement essay is usually Cf little
value IN itself, Is rarely original and al
most invariably made up Of other peo-
pies ideas, ideas more or less complete
~ assimilated. There Is just enough in
this argument to make 1t worth CON
siderlns seriously, in both aspects.
Does the commencement essay serve 4
worthy purpose and would an address
by an outside speaker be more valuable
"a whole, or even equally 50?
Regarding the speaker from the world
outside, We should say that it depended
very much on his own point of view
whether the occasion was all that it
should be or not. The choice of such q
speaker would be an important and
delicate matter. If a man of deep ex-
perience could be induced to speak to
the young men or young women of n
college, straight from his own life, omit
ting the usual tribute to youth which is
implied in a tlorid delivery and a
humorous tone. if such speech could
he made genuine salutatory FROM the
tried and conquering human being t.
those who have still to test themselves
fhc substitution might be well worth
while. Judging from the efforts which
very superior persons have made on
such occasions, however, We must con
tess that we think the voung ones are
able to provide themselves with more
etfectual inspiration.
As to the average commencement
essay itself, crude and immature though
1t liz at its best, and suggestive of un-
Tpollcd illusion rs 1t always ought 10 be,
