Q and negro dialect artists, and
hen Nolan got off lot of funny
business that greatly amused the
crowd. The Lyric Ladies quartet
sang and then Mrs. Bertha Dahl
Laws was introduced and gave her
address. She is free and easy
speaker and her remarks were lis
tened to- most attentively. She
dwelt on how to make a home and
the necessity for taking proper
rest and the thoughts to which she
gave expression we're along entire
ly practical lines. Every girl, she
said, should be taught the art of
cooking, no matter whether she be
rich or poor. Other accomplish
ments, such as music and painting
were all very we'll, butcooking was
the one essential thing. The kitch-
en-, she declared, was the most i'm
portant work shop in the world,
for there the men and women are
being built. What avails riches,
Mrs. Laws asked, when the health
is destroyed, the system wrecked
by improper food? She said her
observation had led her to the con-
clusion that the rich people take
more pains to teach their daught-
ers cooking than do the poor peo-
pie, fact which she thought re-
grettable. Mrs. Laws emphasized
the value of pure air, good water
and an abundance of sunshine as
health preservers. Proper rest is
also necessary and should be taken
day by day.
At the close of Mrs. Laws ad.
dress the Ladies' quartet sang
another selection, after which Mr.
Greeley spoke again. He ap.
proved of what the previous speak.
er had said, especially concerning
the taking of rest. There is toe
much grind on the farm, but he
was glad to note that the tendency
is now in the opposite direction as
a result in theadvance of scientific
farming.
Mr.. Greeley talked principally
about the farm home. Between
the farm home and the city home
he stated, the difference is that the
one is self-supporting and the 9th 81
has to be supported from the out
side. Still many, when the farm
| is spoken of, have visions of druid
gerry. 1t is not necessary that the
farmer be a drudge, however, no
is it necessary that he have grea
big farm. Small farms, we'll cul
tivated, seemed to be the speakers
idea. His advice wus for every
one to get q small piece of land
The farm, he said, is the place tc
live, the place to raise boys, as il
is evident from the fact tina
nearly all great men come from
the farm. Mr.. Greeley spoke a
some length along this line. HI
is an entertaining talker and th'
audience was generally pleased
with his address, as was eviden
from the remarks heard after i
was over.

that as general thing good wheat
land is good bronze grass land, al
though it would grow on land that
was too dry for wheat. He added
that good preparation for raising
crop of wheat was good preparation
for raising a crop Of bronze grass.
If the ground is we'll titled the
seed may be sown as late as the
first of August, or it may be sown
early in the spring, but seed it
alone. Where weeds appear they
should be cropped off with a mow-
er; Is or 16 pounds should be
sown to the acre for hay, and from
20 to 25 5pounds for pasture. 1t is
particularly adapted to this Sec
ton of the Northwest, Professor
Shepperd stated, and he believed
that the farmers would find it to
be just what they wanted. The
professor gave opportunity for any
one who wished to ask questions
and several were propounded, the
answers to which were readily Civ
en-.
In rising to introduce the Lyric
quartet Conductor Greeley took
occasion to say that he had tried
bronze grass in South Dakota and
found it very valuable. He was a
believer in it and thought it filled
a long felt want.
The quartet sang and then Pres.
ident Worst gave brief but inter
esting talk. He started in by say
/ ing that in just 30 minutes the
ball game would begin and that he
was going to see that game, SO the
audience would understand that
they were not to have a long speech
fired at them. He said that the
farmers cultivate enthusiasm in
their calling and that good judg-
ment in farming was necessity.
Proper cultivation would, in fact,
preserve the fertility of the soil
and poor cultivation would in time
destroy it. These statements he
illustrated by calling attention to
the country surrounding the Med
iteranean, once the most fertile Of
any in the world, now barren
waste because it had not been sci
entifically farmed, and to Belgium,
the soil of which was once exceed
ing poor, but which now produces
great crops, as the result of proper
tillage. Nine tenths of the plant
he said comes from the air and
one-tenth from the soil, and to re-
|place what is taken away from the
soil should be the aim of the farm
er. He emphasized the necessity
for working the soil well. declaring
that farmers did not farm half as
we'll as they knew how, and stig-
matizing poor farming as ''soil
butchery." It was as much the
lduty of the farmer, President
Worst continued, to bequeath the
soil to posterity unimpaired as it
was to bequeath to posterity the
blessings of liberty and good gov
ernment. Patriotism for the soil
as well as for country was the creed
| he preached.
The evening session in the Aud
itorium was fully as enjoyable as
that of the afternoon. There were
two brief addresses, one by Mrs.
Bertha Dahl-Laws and the other
by Mr.. Greeley, and these were in
terspersed with music and other
forms of entertainment. First Mr.

A grain of sand in the eye can cause excru-
cating agony. grain of pepper in place OF
the grain of sand intensifies the pain. The
pain is not confined to the organs affected. The
whole body feels the shock of that little irrf'
tating particle. 1t is so when there is any de-
rangement or disorder of the delicate womanly
organs The disorder may seem trivial but the
whole body feels it. The nervous system is dis
ordered. There are fretfulness, irritabilty,
sulleness and depression of spirits, The gener-
al health of woman depends on the local health
of the organs peculiarly feminine. Remove the

feels the benefit. DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

Course, for Once.

THE enterprise of The Dennis
Leader last week in publishing in
full the Hon. George w. Wheatley's
address at that point, is greatly to
be commended. 1t is not often that
that paper presents to its readers
such choice mental pabulum, and
we are glad to note the new and
radical departure. We have heard
Mr.. Wheatley's speeches, and knew
they sounded we'll when delivered,
and now see that they read we'll also.
If this enterprising paper will now
give us next week the speech of
Hon. J. M. Dunsmore to the old
soldiers, it will be continuing in the
line in which it has started.
We are sorry The Leader has not
larger circulation. We would like
for every Pop in the district to read
that Wheatley speech; it would make
them all, except the confirmed old
fossils who never think, think twice
before voting to destroy the splendid
conditions with which we are sur
rounded.

Democracy and Trusts.

NOTWITHSTAND the great
~ flourish the Democrats made be-
fore the campaign was fairly open
ed, on the subject of trusts and COM
bines, they seem to be willing now to
let that line of thought severely
alone. 1t is probable that some
knowing one among them has look
ed up the record of the Democratic
party on that line and informed
the lesser fry that the same won't
bear investigation. 1t might be free
ly admitted that they have made
more of public howl on the ques-
tion than have the Republicans, but
when it comes to genuine efforts to
control these menaces to public well
fare, 1t develops that the Republican
party has always been the party that
sincerely desired to control them,
and made systematic efforts in that
direction.
The only antitrust law that was
ever placed on our federal statutes
was known as the Sherman law and
was placed there by the Republicans.
When the Democrats came into
power they repealed this provision,
against the protests of the Republi-
cans. And finally, when these howl
ers enacted the Wilson law, the Re-
publicans tried to have the antitrust
clause inserted, but the Democrats
refused to allow it to go in.
By decisions on the matter it dc.
veloped that Congress had not the
power to make law under the con-
stitution that would fully cover the
case; and the Republicans at the
last session of Congress introduced
bill proposing an amendment to
the constitution giving Congress
greater powers in the matter. A
constitutional amendment requires a
two-thirds vote, and the Republi-
cans did not have so large major
ity. The results were, the amend
ment was voted down by the Demo
crats, pursuant to action taken in a
caucus.
Thus they show by their actions
that they are not sincere in their
desire to control the trusts in any
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1900-09-07

way to be of benefit to the people.
They only seem to want to hold
club over them so they can bleed
them for campaign and personal as
sstance.
The Republican party has ever
shown its desire to control these in
stitutions whenever they become op-
pressive to the people. The Repub-
lican party does not join in the
wholesale abuse of all aggregations
of capital, whether beneficial or
detrimental to the common good, as
does the Democratic party, but seeks
by equitable laws to restrain the
evil tendencies whenever they may
develop.
The senseless and hypocritical cry
of the Bryanites of "imperialism"
and "militarism" is only intended
to blind the eyes of the unsuspect-
ing to the real issues of the cam
paign. Imperialism means nothing
in this country, and those who shout
it the loudest know there is nothing
in it and that there is no danger of
monarchy being established in this
country. They talk militarism as
though they were afraid our own
soldiers will come back from the
Philippines and establish a military
despotism here in the United States.
They know better and do not believe
in the impending danger they pre-
tend to see. Are they afraid of the
IS 900 brave soldiers that are now
fighting our battles for us? Are they
afraid that the eleven or twelve
hundred Kansas boys now in the
army will come home and set up
military government in this state?
We have only about one soldier
for every 1900 inhabitants of this
country. Is there any necessity for
much worry lest these few men come
home and wage a war against the
government in an effort for a mill
tary government, against the fearful
odds of to 1900? No, it is all
bosh-simply cry to deceive, in a
vain effort to bolster up and sustain
lost cause.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1900-09-07

Instead of business stagnation and
adversely there is activity and pros
perity. Those who were desperate
debtors four years ago now have
something to lose; they are creditors
and are therefore opposed to repu-
diation. Their condition has been
greatly improved, not by the sue
cess of Bryan and free silver repu-
diation, but through the policy of
the Republican party, and they will
stay by the party and policy that
have wrought the change.
Thousands of Republicans in 1896
felt that change could not make
conditions worse and might max e
them better. To-day men see that
a change must be for the worse,
and therefore will oppose change
as earnestly as they favored it four
years ago. The record and results
of the last four years are enough to
secure the reelection of a Republi-
can observation-disclosures (Wash. J
Ledger.

was great in 1894, so you cannot
say that crop failures had anything
to do with it. Factories of all class
es have been running full time, en-
ploying labor and causing splen-
did home market. With plenty of
cash our people are good buyers.
1t is an undeniable fact that we have
more money in our national treasury
than ever before, and it was prac-
;ically empty when that stuffed
prophet retired to Buzzard's Bay to
enjoy life in enjoyment and luxury,
striking contrast to Republican
ex-Presidents."
Moreover, the efforts of the Demo
cratic party under new and worse
leadership to make Cleveland the
scapegoat for their failures will be
unavailing. 1t was not Cleveland,
but Cleveland's party, that was re-
sponsible for the threat Of rotten
money which drove capital into hid
ing. 1t was not Cleveland alone,
but such Democrats in Congress as
w. j. Bryan, who repealed the Nc
Kinley tariff, and these Democrats
enacted in its place tariff so out
rageous and so inadequate to the
needs of American industry that
Cleveland refused to sign it.
There is no comparison between
the capacity of the Republican and
the Democratic party to "provide
for the welfare" of this nation.
There is no question where the in
terest of every American lies in the
present campaign. Topeka Capital.

Bryan Four Years Ago.

THE "Louisville Courier Journal, "
which now supports Mr.. Bryan,
said of him in 1896:
"Mr. William j. Bryan has come
to Kentucky, and Kentuckians have
taken his measure. He is a boy
orator. He is dishonest dodger.
He is daring adventurer. He is a
political fakir. He is not the ma
terial of which the people of the
United States have ever made a
President. Nor is he even of the
material of which any party has
ever before made candidate. "

The Democratic press is telling
the people that Mckinley prosperi-
ty is only skin deep. Perhaps
they are right, but there is no ques-
ton about the Cleveland adversely

marrow of the body polite. Skin

thousand fold better than bone deep

The Argument of Events.

THERE are logical reasons why
the majority for Mckinley and
Roosevelt should be larger than
that given for the Republican nom
inees four years ago. 1t is beyond
dispute that the greatest element of
strength of the Bryan ticket was
the great mass of discontented and
suffering people. Bryan and the
Populists promised relief from the
business stagnation and distress
that oppressed a large portion of
the people of this country. To the
debtors relief was promised through
partial repudiation; to the business
men stimulation of trade through
imitation, To the thoughtless and
desperate these promises we're faci-
mating, and these causes account
for the large number of Republicans
who under one name or another
voted for Bryan and free silver.
Now conditions are different.

SWEDEN'S EXPERIENCE.
What Protection and Sound Money Have
Accomplished There.
IN a letter to the Oberlin Times,

IN a letter to the Oberlin Times,
A. Arwedson gives chapter OF
the history of Sweden which is worth
while for every supporter of Bryan
to study. In the course of his let
ter he says:
''My native country, Sweden, de-
monetized silver in 1875, and at the
same time adopted very high tar
iff on all imports. Up to this time
emigration from that country was
very great, and portions were in
danger of becoming depopulated, /,
the reasons being very low wages,
farmhands receiving at most IS
crowns (S19.75) per year, clerks
and office men about 400 crowns
(S1ao) per year, mechanics 20
crowns (S5,2o) per week. Miners
were scarcely wanted.
"Money in banks could only be
had at the highest grades of secur-
ity, and at 7 to 10 per cent.
"After the Inauguration of this
new system everything started to
boom, farmhands receiving great
increase in wages, clerks and Office
men getting more than double their
former pay, miners finding ready
employment at SO crowns per week,
L IL
chinists receiving about 100 crowns
(s26 per week.
"The northern part of Sweden be-
ing, prior to 1873, hardly inhabited,
is now seeking labor everywhere.

made to furnish power for electric

tories, the output of which was a
cause of an increased merchants

"The great iron industry develop
ed and caused the building of cities
filled with busy, bustling populace;
the fine Swedish cutlery has found a
ready market everywhere; the wool
en- mills have become noted all over
the world and compete successfully
with the finest fabrics made; the can
mons made by Captain Nordcnfelt
have become famous the world over
and are manufactured by every ma
ton on the globe. The increase of
population is also very remarkable.
Cities which contained 5000 in
habitants twenty years ago have now

portionate increase, Students and
observers agree that the direct cause
is high tariff and the gold stand

The gold standard and a protec-
tive tariff rescued the working peo
pie of Sweden from poverty and lit
terly saved the country from ruin.
Turning to this country, Mr.. Ar
wedson inquiries:
"Under what administration have
we seen the best times and derived
the most good?"
He asks workingmen and farmers,
as compared with four or six years
ago:
care you not making a better
living today? You all know the diff
ficulties encountered six years ago,
and if you read the commercial re-
ports of Dun and Bradstreet at that
time you must admit that we had
