A. United Democracy.

Despite all the efforts of the
enemy to make it appear that the
party is badly split, it has been
evident for some time that democ-
racy will enter the next presidential
campaign with united front and
standing much better chance for
the election of its ticket than 1T did
in 1896. This change for the better
has not come as the result Of any
abdieation of party principles or
any proposed change of the party
platform but it has come about
as the result of a better understand
ing of that platform, and of the
man who represents, more clearly
than any other man, all that plat
form stands for.
Ifthere were doubts of this steady
and certain growth toward unity as
the result of such better understand
Jog, the tribute which Mr.. Croker
hos paid to Mr.. Bryan would serve
to remove that doubt, says the At
lanta Constitution. 1t may be said
that this is but one mans opinion.
So far as form goes, it is; but there
is a vast deal more to this express
sion than the mere opinion of one
man-even of a great political
leader. Tho words may DO those
of an individual; the sentiment they
represent is general and deep seated.
Mr. Crokerls one of large num-
ber of people who have had their
eyes opened not only to the fact
that "Mr. Bryan is one of the great.
est men the United States has ever
produced,' and "is closer to the
people than any other man and is
trusted by the masses who under
stand him and appreciate him.
but also to the more important fact
that the Nebraskan is all of this be.
cause everything he stands for is
democratic. When Mr.. Croker
thus gives his Endorsement of Bryan
the man and leader, he is also pay.
ing eloquent tribute to the platform
of principles on which Bryan
stands.
In 1896 Mr.. Croker and very
great number of Democrats of the
east accepted the enemy's interpre
tatiOB not only of the platform
but of Bryan himself Since then
they have had ample opportunity
for calm, considerate study OF the
platform and the man. and they
have come to the conclusion-whict
was inevitable-that both are dem
ocratic in every respect. The masses
of the people understand and appre
ciate and trust Bryan, and they dc
II because he stands for princlplel
that are dear to their hearts and i.
the triumph Of which lies their sal
walton. The people shape public
opinion and the trend of public
opinion toward Bryan as the grea
leader OF the people cannot find bet

Hon. DAVE BALL is making a mis-
take in trying to dlscredit the De-
mocracy of his worthy opponent,
Mr.. Dockery, in the race for the

will be driven to ally themselves
with the Democratic party as being
the only party in which they can

the plates. This he did by putting them
in a hat, together with the stones he
found. He buried his face in the hat, the
stones lighting up it's interior, and at the
same time giving them power to translate
the characters. AS he translated the
scribes wrote, and when he had trans
lated all the characters on a plate and
verified it, the plate disappeared. The
plates were about seven inches wide and
eight inches long, and about the thick
ness of paper.
The Smithsonian Institute, The Astor
Library of New York the Field Columbian
Museum of Chicago and many other mu-
seums and historical societies have asked
Mr.. Schweich to be allowed to be the
custodian Of the manuscript. Mr.
Schweich, however, has always feared for
its safety, and Will not allow it to go be-
yond the doors Of the vault in which it is
deposited.

mound where Smith claimed to have
found the plates is known forms a por-
ton OF the estate of Admiral sampson
The place. formerly in the possession Of
Randall Robinson, passed into the hands

as his church in those times was in funds.
The price of 100000 was named to Mr..
Lewis Slaughter, then a prominent Mason,
by Orson Pratt as the sum he would give
for it. John P. Casenbury, treasurer of
Ray county, Mo, was also asked to see
Mr.. Whitmer and ask him to name his

Joseph Smith was born in 1865. near
Sharon, VT, and in 1916 the family mi
grated to Palmyra, n. Y. Joseph was
fourth in the line of six sons and three
daughters His mother was a religious
fanatic. She was subject to deep reley-
ries, told fortunes and claimed TO have
been cured of a mortal Illness by a mi
racle. She asserted that Joseph had been
born a prophet, and he was trained in this
belief. His youth and early manhood were
shfftless, and be was regarded as a ne'er-
do-well Later in his life Brigham Young
said of him: THE prophet was mean
birth. He was wild, intemUrate, tricky,
and even dishonest in his youth. He
hunted for the buried treasure Of Captain
Kidd, and pretended to find treasures by
means Of a wand. In 1923 he claims to
have been visited by a messenger from
God. This vision told Smith where he
would find a book, composed of golden
plates, giving an account of the former
inhabitants of this continent and the
source from which they sprang; that the
fulness of the Everlasting Gospel was con-
tanned in 1t as delivered by Christ TO the
ancient races of the world. With the
golden plates he would find two stones
in silver bows. fastened 10 a breastplate,
constituting urim. meaning light, and
thummim. meaning perfection These
were buried on hill on farm near
Palmyra. Smith called this hill Cumorah.
In the course of time Smith said he had
found the golden plates buried in a stone
box. He called in Oliver Cowdery. d
schoolmaster; a farmer named Martin
Harris, who afterward paid for the print
ing OF the first edition OF the Book OF
Mormon. and David Thitmer. the son OF
a neighboring farmer.

BIKE INTERESTS CONSOLIDATED
American Bicycle Company and the
Rubber Goods COmnanY Unife.

New York, Nov 14-The Tribune saws:
1t is now admitted by the directors Of the
American Bicycle company and the Of
ficials of the Rubber Goods company that
the two organizations have at last come
to a satisfactory agreement. None of the
members of the bicycle combination will
make tires hereafter. The agreement be-
tween the two corporations does not
stipulate that the makers must purchase
tires from the rubber company. In ex-
planning the situation yesterday one Of
the directors of the so-called bicycle trust
said: THE two organizations understand
each other thoroughly The bicycle max
ers who were interested in the manufac-
ture of tires have disposed Of their plants
to the Rubber Goods company. for a stip-
ulated price. which 1 do not care to men
ton. We do not sign any agreement TO
purchase our tires from the company,
but the suppOsition is that we may do so.
For instance, a certain manufacturer of
a bicycle may for years have used a
particular make Of bicycle tires on his
wheels. They have been advertised. in
a sense. together, and the combination
has given satisfaction to the maker and
to the rider. Now, 1t is but natural that
the maker will continue to furnish that
particular tire on his wheels hereafter"
The deal gives that concern the plants
of the Hartford Rubber company: the
Indiana Bicycle company; the Indianapo-
lis Rubber company and the Peoria Rub

Snyder knew that he might crush the
to the back of the cage.
Don't you think you had better come
away?" he said gently TO the woman;
''he might hurt you
"oh. no." she replied; Toms an old
friend of mine
Snyder took her by the hand. and the
elephant slowly withdrew his trunk from
her waist. Then the keeper led her out
side the cage, and busted himself In clos
ing the door.
The woman. left to herself for a mo-
ment, walked TO the cage Of the rhinecer-
os. thirty feet away. and tried 10 unbar

She turned reluctantly away when Sny-
der told her she could rot stay there, and
walked over toward the bear pit. Snyder
returned to secure the elephant. and then
followed her in hot haste.
The woman passed the bear pit and
hung her hat and veil on the picket fence
skirting the transverse road. Then she
threw herself on the ground and buried
her face in her hands.
She was lifted up by Snyder and Pc
liceman Matt McDonough and taken to
the Arsenal After much questioning she
said that her name was Minnie Gillette,
and that she lived at No. go west Thirty
seventh street. She had in her possession
a letter addressed to Mrs. n. Putt, post
marked Telluride Col, and received early
in the morning. The letter had not been
opened.
She said that she was thirty-five years
old and insisted that she was half negro
and half Indian, although she evidently
has not a drop Of mixed blood in her
veins. AS she could give no account of
herself, Sergt. Dillon had her taken to
Bellevue in a patrol wagon.
On the way TO Bellevue she became vko-
lent and it was necessary to use force
in getting her into the insane pavilion.
There she assaulted the keepers, and was
finally placed in a straitjacket and put in
a padded cell. She gave as the name of
her nearest friend Lille. Kohlhamoner,

Mrs, Putt told Mrs. Sylvan that she
had a daughter named Daisy Henderson
living at No. 1921 West One Hundred and
