If the advice given IN those three
words is needed, good health will fol-

reasons, principally, because II is con-
taminated with vegetable and putrid
matter Of all descriptions. A simple
analysis shows this to be fact.

Mr.. l.. HART, F. r. NJ. S., lecturer OF
the Ballarat School of Mines, and at
the Working Mems College, Melbourne,
writes as follows:
''The Platinum process is decidedly
the most. perfect process of photo
graphic printing, as the metal is not
affected by any sulphurous fumes or
compounds such as are found in the at
mosphere, whereas. other processes are
easily attacked by them.
"The impression is indeed unalter-
able and were it possible to hold a
platinotype print in the hand for sew
eral hundreds of years the paper would
crumble and rot away, but the photo
graphic platinic image would remain
intact.

NEEDS OF THE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE.

ADrOpOs of the dedication OF the Do
nestle Science building of the Kansas
State Agricultural College at Manhat-
tan, Friday, we wish to call your atten-
ton to the needs of the College as set
forth in an article by President Will on
page 2 of this ISSUE The State cannot do
too much in furthering the interests of
its educational institutions, and this is
particularly true in regard to the insti-
tuition which stands for its great agri-
cultural interests.
Kansas is said to have the largest agri-
cultural college in the world. It certainly
should have the best equipped in order
to provide for its material advancement
as a great agricultural state.
President Will has gone over the
ground carefully, and states definitely
the three greatest needs Of the Agricul-
tural College He does not, by any
means, ask all that the institution should
receive, and when compared with the
pressing needs OF the institution, his re-
quest is extremely modest. A mill tax"
should certainly be given to the College,
although one-sixth Of one mill would not
yield the amount which the institution
needs. The appropriation for a Dairy
Building would be one of the best in
vestments the State could make; it would
return the expenditure many times over.
The article which President Will has
carefully prepared, is worthy the careful
attention Of every person who has the
best interests of the State at heart. We
particularly commend 1t to the members
of the legislature which Is soon to meet.

THE RAILROAD LAW.

With the passage of the railroad law
the main purpose of the special session
Of the legislature is carried out. 1t may
be rather late In the day to venture an
opinion in this matter, but it seems to
uS that the legislation is about i've years
behind the times. It was necessary once,
but is hardly called for at this late day.
II proposes a new plan for regulating"
RAILROADS and until IL has passed the
scrutiny of the courts, It is not possible
to say what the results Of the new law
will be.
The law brings UP several new meth
ods Of treating with phases Of the rail-
road question. The establishment of a
special court is an enlargement OF Gov
ernor Leedy's idea of comforting judicial
power upon the Board OF Railroad Com
lnissioners. Il is undoubtedly an i'm
provement on the plans formerly pro-
posed.
The section relating to strikes may
serve its purpose In bringing an equitable
adjustment between the railroads and
their employees, and thus preventing an
noying delays to the public; or 1t may
produce the opposite result. Bringing
the matter before a court will give the
railroads an advantage in that they are
equipped for just such an emergency,
while the labor organizations are usually
in very poor shape to battle with legal
technicalities.
Like all other palliative legislation,
the advantage under this law lies with
the party having the most money and
the strongest array Of legal talent, re-
gardless OF the equity. 1t will be posi-
BILE, under this law, or under any other
law, for the railroad companies to delay
and tie up matters relating to transpor-
tation charges, just as they have hereto
fore.
This law is merely experimental unit

COVE, COME, ME. JOHNSON.

The Nebraska Travelling Mems Bryan
Club rendered Mr. Bryan a banquet at
Lincoln Friday night. The principal
speaker, aside from Mr.. Bryan, was Hon.
J. @. Johnson Of Peabody, who is one Of
the leading lights Of the Bryan Democ-
racy of Kansas. Outlining the great is
sue to be taken up by the Democrats in
1900 Colonel Bryan spoke against ex-
pansion. Il was given to Mr.. Johnson TO
outline the other issues in responding to
the toast, mo Trusts" which he did in a
highly eloquent manner. He asserted
that the trusts OF the country are the dl-
rect outcome Of the protective tariff sys-
tenn, and urged that the people should
assist in the overthrow OF the Republi-
can party and thereby eliminate both the
protective tariff and the trusts"
1t is not 80 easily to put fire out after
the house is half burned down. DE
strOy the trusts!" is a good war cry,
but what Is your plan Of campaign? 1t
ls evident that Mr. Johnson has not
been studying the drift Of things closely
or he would know that the protective tar
IN is virtually destroyed already as far as
It's Importance is concerned. The trusts
can get along without it. Expansion
will eliminate the protective tariff.
But as to eliminating the trusts-that
is another matter They are here as a
matter of business; as the Topeka Capt.
tai has truly said, they are the direct re-
suit Of our economic system. 1t Is ques-
tionable whether business would be in
any better condition II they could be dis
solved 1t is much more uncertain
whether or not we could break them up.
They are in the habit of breaking laws
as they please.
According to the press dispatches Mr.
johnson thought that there was no
heaven-sent call to carry freedom 1000
miles across the sea when there is such
a crying need for financial, commercial
and industrial emancipation at home. y
This has an encouraging sound, but does
It mean that Mr.. Johnson is willing to
lead Democracy into the only breach
that seems to be OpenAthe transfer Of
the great trusts from private to public
ownership and control? This is no time
for empty words. Action that makes
for constructive work is absolutely nee
essary If the Democratic party wishes to
win in 1900. II Mr.. johnson and his col
leagues are willing to take the inevitable
step they should proclaim themselves. II
they think they have better way out
they should make it known. This is no
time for generalities.
The Advocate and news., 1899-01-04

IL has been tried by FIRE. The results as
regards the railroad companies cannot be
viewed by them with any great ap-
prehension as far as the POpulist party
Is concerned. The appointments under
the law will be made by Governor Stan
ley, and the sort of men who shall COM
pose the Court of Visitation will depend
upon the feeling of the people of the
State. The corporations have just as
much to fear from the State officers or
from any representatives of the people.
The Advocate and news., 1899-01-04

Consumption is a disease caused by i'm
purity OF the blood, and the first thing to
be done in it's treatment is to make the
blood pure, rich and wholesome. This Is
half the battle. The other half is the i'm
pregnation Of the blood with cleansing,
healing, invigorating medicines. DIR.
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery does
both. 1t first puts the whole digestive
system into perfect order, rids 1t OF all
impurities, and from the vantage ground
SO gained, reaches out to every fiber OF
the body and restores all to perfect
vigor. II cures many diseases, simply
because many diseases spring from a set
OF common causes. The same disorder
may lead to different symptoms in DIFF
.ferent people What might be only a lit
tie indigestion in one person, may COM
bine with a. slight cold in another and
result in consumption. A treatment that
tones up the whole system is always the
safest. A medicine that is good for the
general health is pretty sure to cure or
binary diseases.

1898.


The year 1898 takes q memorable place
in history. It has brought about some
remarkable steps in the development OF
the world. The winding up Of Spain's
tyranny and the consequent change In
the policy and ideals Of the United States
are of course the most important changes
which have taken place. They have
made a heritage to 1899 and succeeding
years which was little expected year
ago.
Added to this the Cars peace pro-
posal, the steps toward the "viyisection
OF China" the expulsion Of Turkey from
Crete, and the English advance at Khar-
toum, all combine to make the number
and Importance Of worldwide events
unusually great in the year just passt.
Some noted persons have gone from
the earth during the year. Gladstone
Bismarck, Queen Louise and Empress
Elizabeth, Edward Bellamy Frances o.
Willard. Lewis Carroll, Remenyi,
George Ebers, Fanny Davenport, DR..
Ayeling, Judge T. M. Cooley, Thomas F.
Bayard. William Black, Harold Fred
eric, and George n. Waring are some OF
those who stood out above the rest OF the
world who have finished their work on
earth.
To the United States 1898 has brought
a realization OF new duties a new world
work to perform. We shall from now
ON. like Great Britain, have a great
task to work out, in raising the tropical
peoples to higher standard OF civiliza-
tion. We can only fulfil our destiny by
raising our standard at home to fit our
RESPONSIBILITIES. No one doubts that the
people Of this country are able to take up
the duties assigned to them. There
fore we may thank 1898 for bringing up
the promise OF better government at
home as well as work to do for 9TH
ers.
To Kansas has come in 1893 a steady
advance forward and the promise Of an
other year Of prosperity" Kansas
wheat and corn and other farm prod
ucts are forcing ahead In true Kansas
style Secretary COburn truly says:
Kansas Is O corn orchard parked with
Rrasses, Nowhere else do corn ana grass
grow in greater opulence. In sucn q re-
zion with such an environment, the h9g
and his colleague, the beer steer, are LW LWLll
aiohernists who transmute these bulkler
products into gold and silver whereWltn tn
"a huy better homes. added lands, luxury
ana leisure In Kansas the steer and the
hog find their Eel DoradO--the favored zone
---and are debt-payers, mortgage-remoNers'
and promoters OF progress
tt Is perhaps worthy Of note that the
movement that has made most progress
during 1898, and which promises still
more threatening proportions Ia the next
few years, is that OF Socialism. Not the
Socialism which is bogie TO many peo-
Dle to whom 1t Is a communistic divls-
ION OF property, but the Socialism that
has shaken itself free from these things
and stands as a clear and well-detlned
movement for industrial freedom. II
has forged ahead faster and surer than
ever before, not only in the United States
but in all the civilized world. 1t !s
bound to be heard, and that soon, and
It ia q matter for congratulation that I
Is making most progress as an outgrowtf
and In the true spirit Of the teachings o.
Christ

W. }. Nichols Arrested For
Dealing in Vile Books.

William J. Nichols was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Inspector w. T.
stone ana officer Davidson on Main
street for distributing obscene litera-
ture and incidentally was booked for
breaking and entering. Inspector
stone ferreted out the fact that some
property found at Nichols home was
missed from the Frontenac Club house
at the lake last year.
The fact that obscene literature was
being distributed and printed in Wor-
cester was brought to the notice of the
police department several days ago.
and yesterday afternoon Inspector
Stone and Officer Davidson were de-
tailed on the case. Nichols was sus-
pected, and was sighted on Main
street by the officers. Who placed him
under arrest. When searched, a pam
phlet was found which contained some
of the fdulest writings ever apprehend-
ed by the Worcester police.
