In one breath the New England and
New York goldbug papers keep declar
ing that Mckinley is not a sound
money man, and in the next they i'm
plore him to speak out. Yes. OF
course. And while he is about it why
not have Mckinley tell why he is a
protectionist, why he is in favor Of the
interstate commerce act, the civil SER
vice law, coast Notifications, internal
improvements, the enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine, and all the other lead
ing tenets Of the Republican party and
Of the American people, including the
Nicarag qua canal and seed distribution.
He hasn't anything to do but to answer
questions. He might also while he is
about it outline his letter Of acceptance
and his first message to congress, and
keep on talking till the convention
meets. The more questions asked the
more there will be to answer, as any
one can see. But in the meantime
why do these papers not call on some
of the ''favorite sons" for answers.

EVERY ACRE TELLS.

Experience shows that agriculture
proSpers about on the proposition that
al available land is cultivated. There
| is much, of course, in the manner OF
cultivation, but it is certain that idle
land yields nothing, and no community
will grow rich or populous while large
proportion of the land remains vacant.
The growth of Kansas is retarded to-
/ day by the large acreage which is held
/ for speculation. Much of it is in the
hands of non-residents, who defeat the
very object of their investment by hold
ing on. awaiting improvements which
they think will be made by others.
This is poor economy on both sides.
| While the investor defeats his own
purpose, he stands in the way of pro-
gress which would naturally follow set
Element by bona fide residents of the
state.
Carrying this kind of economy
further, it is the actual use of every
rood of land, including the stray cor
nerS and waste bits which are often
counted worthless, that brings the best
results. No place is so remote that it
may not be used for few turnips, or
patch of alfalfa which produces three
or four crops year. Weeds and briarS
thrive and seed adjoining land with
a pest, where a profitable crop can be
grown, be the area ever so small. This
idea is reduced to practice in the old
country, where, on account of the dense
population, individual holdings are nee
eSSarily small. The few acres, and
often fractions of acres in Germany
and Switzerland are made TO support
a family. The Alpine hut is built on
the narrOwest margin of the few rods
of arabic land in the basin of canons,
in order that every foot of it may be
used for cultivation. Thousands of
people thrive on the little areas that
would be considered worthless on these
broad prairies, though results of tillage
here would be the same. We will
come to it here as the years go by and
as population grows more dense, and
the food problem more difficult of solu-
ton. 1t would be a gain of both time
and money to adopt the system now.
There are town lots, and prospective
manufacturing sites" which can be
made TO pay the taxes, and profit be-
sides, for years to come, and before
they are needed for the purposes in
tended when the plats were filed. Take
care Of the dimes and the dollars will
take care of themselves. Cultivate the
acres and the quarter sections will
yield the aggregate which keeps up
the bank account.

great in his simplicity of manner, not
to say Of his personal habits. He
was more than this: his greatness was
rooted in that fundamental economy
which underlies and sustains political
parties as well as all commercial en-.
terprise. When he rode on horseback
TO his Inauguration, unattended, and
tied his horse to a post with his own
hands, he was only acting the unos-
| tentauous character of the man. His
career and conduct, if it was anything,
was the very naturalization OF the
spirit Of simple freedom and economy
upon which he sought to build the su-
perstructure with which his name, he
hoped, might, at least, be honorably
connected. But what a departure,
"Jefersonan Democracy" is utilized to
day only for what it is worth in hold

lean toward the old patriots ideas of
honesty and economy in politics. The
tree which he planted retains its name.
as applied to its species. but how
dwarfed by the sprouts and fungus
which draw upon the sprout he plant
ed and trained with so much care. His
very name figures only as an adjective,
defining the quality of a Democracy,
now extinct, serving no better purpose
than pointing the contrast to the debt
building Democracy of today.
Grover Cleveland, with his retinue OF
servants, his gilded equipages, his fish
ing and duck-shooting aceoutrements
and his liberal method of paying ma
tional debts and keeping up public ex-
penses by borrowing money from Eng
land to pay them, is as near the anti
podes Of the great founder Of his party
as the Imagination can conceive. So
the Democracy of today Is what the
Democracy of Jefferson was not. 1t
is spurious in essence and in fact 1t
is one of the modern shams, maintain
ing, or seeking 10 maintain the shadow,
but repudiating the substance Of which
the thing was originally created. The
"Jeffersonian'' part of 1t Is fake, a
lie and cheat upon the gullible ele-
ment of the voting public, and, sooner
or later, the most illiterate of the party
will find it out

that because the populists are for free

Ways Suggested For Utilizing Your ColIec-
tion of small Prints to Best Advantage,

Picture framing is always expensive.
One frame is not such an item, but when
1t comes to a dozen photographs. water
colors or engrayings one stands aghast at
the total cost. In many new houses frames
60 in with the rent, so to speak. In rooms
which are wainscoted lengths Of glass are
placed 50 that the upper molding forms
the base of the frame and another molding
is placed at the top to hold the glass. How
dear 10 the heart are the hundred photo
graphs collected abroad What more calcu-
lated to give a constant Joy than these
"all in a row" around the library or over
bookshelf in ones own den?
These may be slipped behind the glass
as the molding is easily removed, and thus
q dado is made for all TO admire. II a sepa-
ration is desired, a narrow molding 10
match is easily obtanable. A firm hand,
with a penknife and few taeks, only is
needed and room is transformed.
Another way is one molding placed halt
way between floor and ceiling with the
