If Cleveland or Bryan had
been in power during the war
excitement the election would
have gone democratic this
year instead of republican.
There are many people in this
fair land of ours who were so
densely ignorant as to believe
that they were sympathizing
with Spain if they failed to
vote for the party of the ad-
ministration. Plu cracy
laughs in it's sleeves when a
war scare relegates all other
issues into the background.
By this means the thieves
quadruple their profits both
ways-from the pockets of
the people directly, and from
the bonds occasioned by war,
indirectly.

How much have the people to do
with making the laws in this country?
When one legislator fails to do his du-
ty the best they can do is to make a
change and try new one, and so on.
They might finally get the right kind
of a man and they might not-the
chances these days are against them.
But even If they did their whole duty
they would still be unable to represent
a majority of the people thoroughly.
The people ought to have the right 10
vote on the laws under which they are
governed, directly. The initiative and
referendum will give them this privil-
eye. 1t is well enough to boast about
a free country and democratic form
of government and all that but we vii
never have either of them until we have
direct legislation.

If Gillett had "stuck" every

be the peoples turn to laugh.
Gillett's word went with
those fellows because he was

and they are now paying for
worshipping wealth. More
than this, those commission
men have been "skinning" the
small shippers for a quarter
of a century or more and they
got some of the same kind OF
medicine this time. Yes, that

WHEN youa are swindled out
of your rightful belongings
don't waste your breath
swearing vengeance on men,
but rather use a little discre.
ton in exercising your right
of suffrage. Man is a selfish
animal; he will, in 80 per
cent of cases, take what be
can get, and even if he is a
goody-good church man he
will find a verse somewhere
between the lids of the Good
Book which will enable him
to lay the Golden Rule on the
shelf long enough to skin his
less fortunate brother. IF
you don't want to be imposed
upon by those who are finan-
cial giants vote for a system
of government that will pro-
tect you from their assaults.
For instance, if you are a pro-
ducer you are paying three
times as much to transport
your products to market un-
der our accursed system of
private ownership than you
would under public owner
ship. r. R. kings are laying
away vast stores of wealth by
reason of these excessive
rates. You work and sweat and
freeze and starve to put it up.
When you buy coal you pay
| tribute to another monopo-
list who has appropriated a
part Of Gods creation to his
own private use TINS freezing
out the rest of His people one
of whom you are supposed to
be. We could go on and
enumerate almost every bust.
ness transaction to show how
the masses are cheated, rob
bed and murdered by inches
by few fellows who have
grown fat off of the toll OF
others, but if you cannot see
that you are getting it in the
neck at every turn from what
you see in your every day
life probably no amount Of
argument will open your
eyes. But please remember
this, old party voter; if you
are not getting a reasonable
price for your products anc

sively for your articles of con
sumption, you are voting this

Fairs AS Educators.

In his paper treating of educa- tiona benefits, on the industrial side, to be derived from appreciative study of the great exhibit made at the Omaha exposition. Professor Warehouse of the Washington uni versty has called public attention to most important matter.
 It will be we'll for the industrial advancement of this country when the people realize to the fullest the true scope of such all.embracing displays as are made at these great "fairs." The tangible result of the work of countless minds is there to be seen in the concrete, forming an obiect-lesson such as it would not be easily possible to encouutec elsewhere.
 The article is timely. Such ex- hibits as the Omaha Exposition and the St. Louis Fair are not arranged solely for the idle ntertainment of visitors. They are educational in the broadest sence-diffeiing from Worlds Propositions only in that they are Intended for more restrict ed fields, but equally valuable and meritorious in their objects. Saint Louis Republic.
 The above remarks will also apply to the Pine Bluff State Fair, whose educational features will be among it most valuable ones There is no better way in the world to illustrate the progress, development and civ ilzation of State or Nation than by it's Fairs and Propositions. In this way the abstract is placed be- fore the public in concrete form, and the people are given an object lesson and brought to realization of their own State and National pro gress. As the Republic says, fairs are great educators and should be encouraged.
