THE GREAT PRESIDEN TIAL CAMPAIGN OF 1900

The policies of the great po- litical parties are now being formed and the candidates dis cusscd. The voice of the people as recorded by ballot at the ap- preaching Presidential election will probably decide the policy ofthe nation for the next decade. Every citizen must study the great questions that are tocome before the people. This can only be done through the medium of a great newspaper Now IS the time, therefore, for every voter to subscribe for the best and most reliable newspaper obtain able. The Semi Weekly Repub- lie covers the whole field of po- litical news. While 1t Is Demo- era tic, it publishes the news in regard to all political parties without prejudice. It's tele- graphic and cable news service is superior to that of any other paper. It's special features are the best. In fact, it is the paper for that large class of readers who cannot afford or do not have access to the daily papers.
 Attention is also called to The Republics Sunday Magazine. It's half-tone illustrations are alone worth the subscription price. It is made up of special articles by the best literary tai ent, embracing a variety of sub jects of current interest. New features of absorbing interest are illustrated and enlarged up- on. For the benefit of the ladies the latest fashions are hand somely illustrated. The Repub- lie Sunday Magazine IS always interesting to every member of the family.
 The subscription price of the Semi Weekly Republic is $1.oo per year. The Republic Sunday Magazine s1 25 per year. Both papers are now being offered at the very low price of $50 for one year. To secure this low rate both must be ordered and paid for at the same time.

We are not troubled about the war in South Africa between the Boers and England. We have troubles of our own in the Philip pines. It is hard work for Uncle Sam to hold the twenty-million gold brick. We should be more concerned about things nearer home. Everything has run to trusts and prices have gone sky ward, but labor is still doing busi- ness at the old stand at the same old price. We can bestir our selves in the matter of education education, not only in theoretical principles, but in every-day-affairs of life. There are many college bred young men all over our land and country who couldn't make a living for d canary bird, and who wouldn't know cabbage plant from a new made grave.
 We can bestir ourselves in mat ters of politics in electing good men and true to positions of honor and trust. We can look out for the poor and needy, and help oth- CTS toa higher plane of living. We have troubles and responsibil- ties enough at home without dip ping our finger into foreign broils. .-Lafayette Recorder.

The author of "In His Steps, the famous religious book, ol which over three million copies have now been sold, has been in- duced to answer, in an article which he has sent to The Ladies Home Journal, the question which unconsciously comes to the mind after reading his book ..Is this plain and practical in our present daily lifei" MT. Sheldon does not eyade the question, but answers it in a direct and vigorous manner, and tells exactly what he believes would be the effect of his plan up on modern business methods and present-day social life.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

President McKinley's forth coming message to Congress, 1t is stated from Washington, will recommend the establishment of American sovereignty in the Philippines by all the force that may be needed, that it be main tained permanently. that the civil government follow the mili- tary at the earliest possible moment, and that wide latitude be allowed the natives in local selfgovernment.
 In the forecast of the message announcing this policy it is not intimated that the President en- deavors to justify in principle this departure from American doctrine and the consequent de nial of liberty to a people who had well-nigh won 1t from their Spanish oppressors before this Government received the oppor- tunity to prove a consistent loyalty to American declara- tions. But the President does make an effort to commend his policy to the American people by showing them that there S money in 1t for them.
 Tn recommending definite ac tIon by the coming Congress as so future government of the Philippines, we are told, "at- sention will be called to reports from competent authorities showing the great commercial Importance of the islands," Upon this exhibit, It Is to be pre stunned, whatever opposition there may be to the forcible an nexation of the Philippines, the final and lasting reputation of the Monroe Doctrine, the delib- crate refusal to longer recognize the truths enunciated in the Dec laration of Independence, will vanish like nists before the sun. Why? Faith, because there's more money in holding the Phil ippines than in letting go of them.
 There Is a lack of morals and a consequent pitiable absence of dignity in this administration policy to be announced in Presi- dent Mckinley's message, but commercialized politics never re- ceived a more typical illustra- tion. Now that we have the chance to grab and hold big slice of territory in the the Old World we'll do it, right or wrong. and in clear violation of the solemn pledge contained in

OUR farmers should not fail to sow a small patch of wheat. It IS claimed that 1t is better for stock, when moved, and cured as a forage crop, than oats. So you could sow some wheat, and If you saw thatit would not turn out sufficient grain, you could cut 1t down for stock-feed. In either event you would be safe.
