desperation in the hour OF battle. and the

But he felt that he was fighting for his
country and for freedom against invaders

At the battle OF Austerlitz he exhibited

him through all the after wars. While

The next year. after the campaigns of
FIiedland and Tilsit. in 1907, he was trans
ferred To- Spain, where new field opened
before him. Taken from the Imperial
Guard and from under the immediate eye
OF Napoleon. he was placed over the Second
Corps, called the Army Of the Western

Two of his followers seeing him thus
defend himself against the gunnerS, who
made furiousiy N him, put spurs To- their
steeds and gaioped To his aid. Together
they succeeded in capturing the piece,
and brought it off in triumph. Bonaparte,
at the time young and impetuouS himself,

made its commander.
His fortune was row secure, and from

After the battle of Marengo. he was

aNHOOL EOnNOMICs.

Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews seems to
be injecting good deal of practical
common sense into the common schools
Of Chicago. He was but recently ap-
pointed city superintendent of schools
and Is at once inaugurating a depart
ment for instruction in that most i'm
pOrtant Of all branches in every day liv-
Ing domestic economy. The Board Of
Education is diligently searching for
suitable teachers in this generally neg
lected but seemingly simple department
of instruction in every day life. AppIi-
cants were required to pass critical ex-
animation in very commonplace things
Some Of the questions requiring answers
and practical demonstration were as fol-
lows:
Describe fricassee, a chowder, brals-
ing, soup stock, broillng.
What objection may be urged to eating
warm bread, underdone pork, fried oy-
sters, OVerdOne beef?
Describe two methods for the economical
and palatable utilization Of the remnants
Of a beef roast.

gravimetrically and vOlumetrlcally.
What is overcasting, u gusset, n bias
darn, a placket?
What Is the germ theory" of disease?
Mention a disease caused by germs. What
sanitary precautions should be taken in the
care OF clothing to avoid such diseases?
One dress maker can construct a gown in
three days, another in four days How long
will 1t take both working together?
At the preliminary examination thirty
one women and one solitary man aD-
peared as applicants for the position
Of teachers in this department. The
wonder is that even one man would pre-
sumo to face such an exacting examina-
tion in such commonplace things What
could he know about a bias darn? He
would probably transpOse the words in
that term. Probably he would know just
as little about braising, soup stock or
fricassee, and as to the best methods of
utilizing the remnants Of beef roast

THE wORK1NGMAN's TRUE FRIEND.

The Topeka Advocate in a page editorial
calls upon WOrkingmen to stand by their
true friends. the Populists. On the same
day the announcement was made that the
largest tin plate factory in Wales is TO be
moved to the United States. This action
was caused by the Mckinley duty on tin
plate, which Pops and Democrats affirmed
could never be manufactured in this coun-
try. Workingmen will stand by their true
friend, McKinley.-Topeka Capital.
Let us see.
Mckinley is the workingman's true
friend because he established the pro-
tective tariff policy.
The protective tariff policy established
trusts, and the greatest blessing that
ever came to the workingman, therefore,
is this logical unchecked result OF the
Mckinley protective tariff systematic
trusts Of the country.
Trusts benefit the wOrkingman by
shutting down plant and throwing him
out Of employment, thus giving him time
to think pure and beautiful thoughts
when he might possibly be engaged in
dirty and exhaustive labor.
Trusts benefit the workingman by pre-
venting him from engaging in business
for himself. They are so earnest about
this that they will wreck his family,
his church, his whole town, il necessary,
from allowing his head to become
swelled with the idea that he is able to
launch out for himself
Mckinley is so true friend to the
workingman that lot Of them who were
foolishly unappreciative were taken in
hand by their employers and herded to
Canton in 1896 to show how much they
love William.
Give us the name of the tin plate fac
tory and We'll tell you something more.
The Advocate and news., 1898-09-28

he would probably say make 1t into hash
or throw it to the dog.
Modern school methods do not teach
these commonplace yet all-impOrtant
studies. In some city schools boys and
girls are set to studying Latin at 10
years of age, when not one of them
would know how to sew on a suspender
button or darn a hole in the heel Of a
stocking. The commonplace things
which make up four-fifths of after life
are entirely overlooked in our common
schools and young children are often
crammed with theories which they do
not comprehend when they should be
studying practical methods Of living and
how best to prevent sickness, increase
happiness and DrOlong life. DIR. An
drews Is working in the right direction
and Chicago is an excellent field for the
development of a system of teaching
domestic economy in the common
schools. instruction of this kind ought
to be compulsory in all the common
schools of this country.
The Advocate and news., 1898-09-28
WE'LL, WHY NOT ?

The editor of the Paola Spirit thought
that he propounded a hard question
when he attacked the stock yards plank
in the Populist platform by saying, "If
State ownership of stock yards is feasi-
BILE and practical, why not State owner
ship of grain elevators? If grain ele-
vators, why not mills, smelters, coal
mines, wholesale stores, brick yards,
wagon factories, newspapers, hay press
es, foundries, bulls, stations, cream
cries and wood yards?"
Well why not public ownership Of all
these things?
Under public ownership Of coal mines
the operator would be assured of reg
ular income without the worry he gets
with it at present; he would not be COM
PEELED to oppress his men with the COM
pany store and other outrages in order
to get it, for there would be no ruin
Gus competition to meet Both coal dig
ger and operator would have more leis-
ure and more real life.
Under public ownership of wholesale
stores and mills things would be cheap
and at the same time the Cheapness
would not be wrung out of the blood OF
human beings.
Under public ownership men would
be men and not neglected machinery.
there would be a chance for some real
brotherly love, but no chance for lock-
outs and strikes. There would be great
trusts, but they would be public, not
private.
Why not public ownership and a
chance to live and enjoy life?

STANLEY SHOWS HIMSELF.

ThOrough-going hypocrite that he is.
w. e. Stanley has had the hardihood to
charge John W. Breidenthal with hy-
pOcrisy! Stanley displayed his real ma
ture when he said that Breidenthal was
not man enough to declare himself, but
would vote secretly against his party
Everything that the Republican candi-
date for Governor has said or done goes
to show that he Is twO-faced. He floun-
ders around in way that must make the
average Republican sicker of him than
of Morrill,
Stanley is disgusting everybody. The
temperance people are not fooled, and
his attempt to straddle the question Is
losing him votes daily. Senator PETER
will poll vote that will surprise great
many people, and it will not all come
from the Populist party, by several thou
sand. The Lawrence correspondent of
the New York Voice, who has his au-
thority from the best of sources, states
to his paper that ]. Willis Gleed, Presi-
dent, T. E. Stephens, Secretary, and Dr.
j. G. Dougherty organizer, of the State
Temperance Union, will vote for PefRer
Nearly every other Republican who is
connected with the State Temperance
Union will vote the same way, and a
number of Topeka Republicans who are
connected with the Committee of Two
Hundred and the Christian Citizens
League, including representative men
like ]. B. McAfee, H. r. Hilton and ].
B. Larimer will cast their votes for

In every way, whether it be with the
prohibitionist, the laborer, the cOlOred
voter or any other class, Stanley dlsclOs-
es his contemplate, vacillating, Morrill,
like hypocrisy. He Is a sham clear
through and would make a worse than
useless Governor.
And, while we are considering Stan
ley's Cheapness, why is it that he and
his kind, and great many good Repub-
linCans as well, have been bestowing un-
stinted praise upon Breidenthal? The
Republican party is supposed to hate
Socialism as II it were deadly poison,
and yet Mr.. Breidenthal has done as
much for the spread of Socialism as any
man that ever lived IN Kansas He
makes Socialists every day, yet the Re-
publicans of Kansas are not clamOring
that he should go to Jail.
The Advocate and news., 1898-09-28
FARMING AS A LIFE WORK.

Elsewhere we publish some hopeful
words from Secretary Coburn. They are
the quintessenCe Of over thirty-two years
OF close observation. When Mr.. Coburn
says to the young man looking forward
to a successful life that "the boundaries
OF a judiciously-chOsen Kansas farm
afford him greater opportunity to attain
his Ideals than any other with which
am acquainted" he gives advice well
worth needing. Mr.. Coburn speaks only
Of true sucCess-that which means con-
stant pushing forward until the close Of
life, despite occasional Teverses-not a
success gained by gambling Off the prod
ucts Of others, but attained by honest
and honorable toll"
1t is pointed out very clearly by Sec
retary Coburn that skill and intelligent
application are necessary to-day. The
day Of settlement Is past, the better days
OF development greet the young man
who takes up agriculture in the West
No one who asserts that the business of
farming is in a worse condition now
than 1t was when Mr.. Coburn started in
can go to the roots of the matter and
prove his contention. In fact, farming
offers more attraction TO the honest
young man than any Of the pursuits into
which so many seem to be hurrying. It
should be remembered that the farmer Is
producer. Most Of the professions
which seem so attractive are speculative
and are too frequently made parasitic.
Our law and medical schools are over
crowded by men who want something
easy" by way Of a short cut. Statistics
from one of the largest law schools in
the country show that only about 10
per cent. of the graduates hold to the
law as a life profession, yet at least 95
per cent. take the course with the inten-
tion Of practicing law. Our competitive
system unfortunately tends to encourage
this desire, and the young man is too
The Advocate and news., 1898-09-28

often 80 imbued with the rush he sees
in business that he scorns time to stop
and listen to the warnings OF those who
have gone before him. Unless a young
man is certain as to the line Of business
he is fitted for he should take his time
and pick his occupation intelligently.
II he fully sees the scope Of success
full life and does not feel that nature has
equipped him for some other work he
will do well to ponder Mr.. COburn's
words on agriculture. What Is said as to
the necessity Of application and energy
is good as to any business. AS to farm
ing, there is nothing truer than that the
successful farmer must know his land.
He must know what 1t will do for him
and know how best to work it. KnOwl-
edge Of his speciality cOmprehends an
of his market To be successful man
must know what he is about and why
he does a thing.
Mr.. COburn cannot restrain dig or
bWO AZ kuODC WIN GdHlOJ dBAtG WIFI ulb
politics, but we can let that blow away
to keep the grains of common sense he
gives u.s. We do not take his words to
mean that the farmer has no business in
politics; he is too broad-minded to per-
nit so narrow a construction on them.
OF all classes the producers have the
greatest right to take an interest in their
country's welfare, for without them
there would be no nation. But the truth
that Mr.. Coburn wishes to bring out is
simply that man must not turn to dab
bling in politics to the neglect and detri-
ment Of his own means Of livelihood. We
should all have our plans for better gov
ernment and happier condition, but we
must remember that we are Obliged to
exist while preaching happiness.
On the other hand, Mr.. Coburn ought
to remember that some of his "stock af-
frlghtments" come close enough home to
give the Kansas farmer reason to raise
louder howl than he has made so far.
The playful tone he has borrowed from
the Topeka Capital and Kansas City
Journal does not deny the right of the
farmer to protest energetically when the
stock yards squeeze him most unmer-
cifully, when the railroads deal with
him most unjustly, or when the insur-
anCe companies refuse to settle his losses
except on their own terms Mr.. Coburn
has referred only to the political bug
bears which are seen through Repub-
llCan spectaCles. There are others, but
what we are considering is the choice
Of farming as life occupation.
The Advocate and news., 1898-09-28

Of the individual, not a barrier against
them. Public ownership means pIblic
ownership not public use. Take as an
example municipal gas. The works are
owned by the city, by the people in com
mon, but the use is individual. In no
place where there is municipal owner
ship of gas works is a man permitted to
go into anOther's house and use or waste
the gas as his own pleasure. Hunt up a
town where there is some sort Of public
ownership and try it.

THE SOCIALIST LABOR TICKET.

The Populists will hardly gain any
thing by the attempt to shut out the
petition of the Socialist Labor party.
The main intention of nominating this
ticket was not an attempt to elect any
one; 1t was inspired with the desire to
get socialist principles before the people.
In this work the POpulist platform is
more advanced than that of the Socialist
Labor party, for it presents specific de-
mands in addition to general PROPOSE
tions, all of which are socialistic. But
not all Populists are avowed Socialists
The Advocate and news., 1898-09-28
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP, NOT PUBLIC USE

We often call this an enlightened age,
but 1t can hardly be denied that men are
frequently just as set and narrow and
walled-up in their ways as they were in
the darkest Of the dark ages. 1t is actu-
ally possible to find--to take a specific
example-men breathing Gods air in
this year Of humanity, A. d. 1898, who
contend that the public ownership of
public utilities" would bring about
chaos, that under public ownership any
one might enter the best room in your
house and take it for month or year
regardless Of your own wishes; the
dreadful operation Of public ownership
would even allow him to put his feet on
the bed or play the latest popular airs
on your piano. And, incredible as it is,
men who believe and proclaim this idea
are sometimes regarded as leaders of the
people.
The deeper you go into public owner
ship the safer you are from such lawless-
ness. Socialism Is a defense Of the rights
