Good Health VS.. Bad Roads.

The new food law, which prohibits
the sale of alum baking powders, be
slows a double advantage upon the
public. First, in protecting the peo-
pie from a food which is dangerous to
health: second, in aiding to build and
pay for good roads throughout the
country. The penalty provided by
the law for selling an article of food
containing alum is 500. each offence.
which goes toward the making and
maintenance of good roads in the
county where the fine is collected.
For both these reasons all classes of
the community will do what they can
to aid in the enforcement of so good
a law.

\ Party that LEARNS Sorhirg.


Hen. Watterson tells his party
.oat II can win by dropping silverism:
Ianafehf aud its other lunaeies and
feltiss: by coming out sdtsfeiy and
courageously for expansIGo, Wv "
fense OF the national flag and the ma
tional honor, and by sending the base
money plotters. the political strikers
and the copperheads to the rear. The
trouble with this programme is that it
has not the fainte:st chance t. be
adopted. The WattSrson. plan of re-
generating the Democracy is excellent
in the abstract. but it is Lp ,.uu, IN
the concLete. The Democracy viii re-
fuse that sort of Regeneration, or any
other sort of regeneration, until after
this is beaten into it by at least one
more disastrous defeat. This has been
the record of the Democratic party
all along, and it is too old a sinner
now TO learn any political sense ex-
cept through The old kind of discip-
line.
The Colonel is aware that his party
fought slavery restriction, that it ad-
vocated secession and put it in prac-
tice. that it opposed the creation of
the greenb backs. the establishment of
the national banking system, the adop-
tion of the constitutional amendments
and the creation of tariff which
would give adequate protection for
the important industries which needed
protection. 1t was beaten on all those
issues. 1t accepted the situation in
the end, but not until it had been re-
peatedly beaten on some of those ques-
tiOns. Several of the issues here
mentioned the Democrats fought long
after they were settled finally. They
opposed the national banking system
for a third of a century. AS recently
as 1892 in their national platform they
demanded the repeal of the 10 per
cent tax on State bank notes, the OBJ
ject being to create Il new brood of
wild cat currency like that which the
national bank notes superseded. They
fought the reconstruction legislation,
including the war amendments to the
constitution, until Clement L. Vallan-
digham, in 1871, called halt to this
folly, and pointed out the necessity of
some time or other recognizing estab-
lished -Globe-Democrat

a good method of taking a days hol-

effective advertising. The effect was
astonishing. People stood on the
sidewalk and read all the signs, big

All Imagination.

| A very unique case of mistaken
| identity that goes to show what i'm
agination will sometimes lead to hap
pened at Appleton last Thursday. a
certain saloon keeper from Perry
vile travelling with we'll known
liquor drummer, stopped at Casper
Ludwg's saloon at Appleton and
called for ID glass of beer. Upon be-
ing served with the beer he took a
swallow and pushing his glass back
exclaimed: That is no good. The
gentleman from Perry thinking that
Mr. Ludweg handled Cape beer ex-
cluSively wanted to be smart and say
that Cape beer was no good, when
the fact was he did not know the differ
ence between Cape beer and the St.
Louis beer. At the, time Mr.. Ludweg
happened to be out OF Cape beer and
had to get St. Louis beer 10 supply
his customers and had a keg of St.
Louis beer on tap. The gentleman
from Perry and the liquor drummer
could not drink the beer because they
were sure it was Cape beer. They
tasted it again and then shoyed the
glasses back and started TO leave the
saloon. The bartender assured them
that it was ST. Louis beer he set out
to them, but they would not believe
him till he opened the ice box and in
vited them to look at the keg. This
settled it. They then drank. called
for more. drank again and the last We
heard of the,h they were still calling
for more beer.
OF coarse they didn't know the

veg had Cape beer on tap it would
have been all right, because it would
have heen fresher and better than tht
ST. Louis beer. Il is not the taste, i

SHOULD HOLD CORN.
Kansas secretary of Agriculture
Gives some Good Advice.


Gives Some Good Advice.
Secretary Coburn, of the State
Board of Agriculture of Kansas, is
urging the farmers to hold their sur
plus corn. He has sent out this ap-
peal:
"There has never been a season of
unusual production and low prices
for corn which was not in the near
future followed by one of compara-
tive scarcity, with prices correspond
ingly high and there is no sufficient
reason for believing this so far un-
varying rule is likely to be changed
for the present occasion.
1.-The moral of this is that Kansas
farmers should market as grain no
more of their present crop than is
necessary. They would rightly haze
considered themselves favored and
nightly prosperous with a yield less
by 100, ,OOO. 600 bushels than they have
now.
If they were to hold, as they could
do very comfortably, this extra lOO,-
OOO, 900 cbushels in substantial, rat
proof cribs on the farm for year or
more, it would not only relieve to
that extent the downward pressure OF
slut .on the market, and help to
steady and firm prices on the remain
der, but would make the growers in
stead of the spectators. masters OF
the situation when prices advance or
