Speaking about the unity Of reform

sented are doing the work that no one Of
them could do The people must first be
gotten to feel the need Of some change

The ignorant see no need Of change
here any more than the ignorant in Rus
sia see the need of change there. The
single takers socialists, Christian So
cialists, direct legislation clubs, money
reformers, civic federationists, coloHists,
the good government clubs, and the
many other balls Of yeast in the social
organism have each been doing work
that will bear results. The more each
develops in knowledge the more they
will gravitate toward socialism. Even
the prohibitionists have gotten thou
sands to see that there is something
wrong and in changing the channel Of
their reading have developed socialists.

The POpulist State platform Of Kan
sas demands public ownership Of monop-
Oplles, and the ownership and operation
OF the stock yards at cost. Worse than
that, II also demands that the State fur
nish insurance to its citizens at cost.
This is simply awful In the eyes Of the
dear, good insurance companies, who
pay their officers such high wages that
they will withdraw from the State be-
fore they will show their payroll to the
State commissioner. The platform also
demands the initiative and referendum.

Is on and the game will be caught or
run out of the country" The horde OF
moonshiners that came into Arkansas
and Missouri along the line were from
Georgia principally. Three years ago
war was opened on them there. and
they were hunted so hard they had to
leave. The unfrequented woods and
hills of Arkansas gave many OF them
a hiding place, while others went into
the Ozarks. They were chased so hard
by officers under the late Gen. 10 Shell
by they had to leave Missouri. and
they went into the Arkansas noun
tains. When posse of deputy mar
shals and revenue agents started after
them they were led into ambush and
four killed. 1t was war then. and
every man who refused to aid the fed
eral officers was arrested. The spies
for the moonshiners were shot or cap
tured. The war has been relentless.
When a clear case against a man was
made out SO heavy bond was required
that he could not give It. and as they
we're gathered behind the bars the
business lost its allurements.

are going to try the experiment OF put
ting their maids into livery based on
the heraldic colors OF the family or

For special occasions special colors and
cap ribbons will lend atmosphere"
For instance, when madame entertains
her club members at luncheon, the

their muslin aprons and on their white

pink flowers. pink calico gowns and
pink cap ribbons without touch OF

MACHINES suRpRlsEp HIM.

Frsach Engineer Aasaaishea by EcoAeny
Of American MscAins sheps.
An expert French observer thinks
that although we Americans may waste
food we certainly do not waste energy.
A French officer Of engineers gave the
following account recently Of what he
had sesn In American factories: II
have been In America six months, and
have visited the mines and manufac-
turing establishments In the east, west,
north and south. l have seen the most
gigantic engineering operations and
the most powerful machinery in the
world. but shall report to my govern
menx that the biggest things in Amer
lea are the little things. The French
people are experts In domestic econo-
my. and live comfortably by saving
what your average families throw
away. But Americans are, on the 9TH
er hand, experts In Industrial economy.
You make money by saving wastage
In business, and you lose some Of 1t
by wastage in your domestic economy.
The attention paid to small details In
your big works is amazing to me. l
have visited some establishments
where 1 believe the profits are not
made in the manufacture proper. but
in the saving of materials and labor by
close attention to details that are with
us unconsidered trifies. For example.
l saw in your shops just now little
grindstone in operation automatically
sharpening lathe and planer tools
This machine cost, probably, as much
as 100 Of our ordinary grindstones cost,
but l see that it automatically grinds
all the tools for 300 high-priced me-
chanics, and 1t only works a few hours
each day. The skilled mechanics in
our country frequently stop their reg
ular work to grind their own tools, and
then they do it imperfectly. Your
tools are all accurately ground to the
best shape by the machine, SO that
they do more and better work on this
account in given time. believe that
that machine has brains-the brains OF
the inventor-and It has no doubt revo-
lutionized work OF this kind In Amer
ican shops
