Why?

The minority report on the ship
subsidy bill very pointedly indicates
the absurdity of congressional appro-
priations in aid of enterprises that are
developing rapidly from natural caus-
es. After quoting President Mckinley
on the growth of our foreign trade and
the unparalleled activity in American
shipyards the trainers of the minority
report conclude:
sour foreign trade, then, is increas-
ing with wonderful rapidity and our
shipbuilding industry is remarka bly,
prosperous without subsidy. Why,
then, should the whole country be
taxed to provide graituities for in
dustries which are now prosperous and
which have every prospect of contin-
ulng TO be more and more prosperous
The committee may we'll ask "Why?i
No answer that can be given in de-
Tense of the subsidy proposition will
satisfy the inquiring minds of the
American people. Chicago Record.

The Man-Made Person Against
the God.Made Person.

"By killing trusts you are not inter
fering with the natural rights of the
natural man. You are interfering
with the privileges conferred upon a
fictitious person called corporation.
Look at the difference between the
natural man and the corporate man.
when god made the natural man
he did not make the tallest man much
taller than than the shortest; he did
not make the strongest man much
stronger than the weaker.
But when man made the corporate
man he made that man hundred, a
Thousand, million times stronger
than the natural man. When God
made the natural man he placed a
limit to his existence SO that if he is a
bad man he cannot be bad long. But
when man made the corporate man he
raised the limit on age and sometimes
the corporation is made perpetual.
But when God made the natural
man he breathed into a soul, and
warned him that in the next world
he would be held accountable for deeds
done in the flesh; but when man made
the corporate man he did not give to
he corporate man soul, SO that il
the corporation could avoid punish.
ment here it needn't worry about the
hereafter, and then the man-made cor.
poration was sent out to compete with
the God-made man. The republican
party has taken the side of the man
made giant. WIN. J. Bryan.

After once choosing your occupation,

After once choosing your occupation,
however, never look backward; stick
How success. to it With all the
w. tenacity you can
muster. Let moth
ing tempt you or swerve you hairs
breadth from your aim, and you will
win, says Success. Do not let the
thorns which appear in every vocation,
or temporary dependency or disap-
pointment, shake your purpose. You
will never succeed while smarting I'M
der the drudgery of your occupation
If you are constantly haunted with
the idea that you could succeed better
In something else. Great tenacity Of
purpose is the only thing that will
carry you over the hard places, which
appear in every career, to ultimate tri-
umph. This determination, or fxity
of purpose, has great moral bearing
upon our success, for 1t leads others to
feel confidence in us, and this is every
thing. 1t gives credit and moral sup
port in thousand ways. People al
ways believe in q man with a fixed pur-
pose, and will help him twice as quick
ly as one who is loosely or Indifferent
" attached to his vocation, and liable
at any time to make change, or to
fail. Everybody knows that deter
mined men are not likely to fail. They

BANDAGEs OF PULP.
Their Ready Application IL Only One
| of the Many Advantages
They Possess.

A United States naval surgeon advo-
Gates the substitution of wood pulp
sheets for faxseed meal, ETC., in MAX.
Ing poultices, says the Philadelphia
Record. He cuts sheet of the pulp
to size approximate to the surface to
be covered, soals the sheet in hot wa
ter until it has become thoroughly
softened, then wrings it out, very light
ly, and applies. The wood pulp sheet
will absorb and hold from four to five
times its weight of water, and, since
heat and moisture are the desiderata
In poultices, this furnishes them in
simple, clearly form. No cloths are
needed, no cooking, no stirring and
spreading on cloth, just soaking in
hot water. And the incest part is the
total absence of the mess inevitable to
making faxseed meal poultices, al
though there is, too, great economy
OF time and trouble. It is sometimes
advisable to put piece Of oiled muslin
over the sheet to help to retain the
heat and moisture.
When the "poultice" begins to get
sold take it of, wiring out the water,
and soak it again in hot water, and SO
on indefinitely. The surgeon has used
the same sheet of pulp wood for two
days poulticing, in the hands of an ig-
norant man at that, his instructions
to him being "to soak the plaster in hot
water whenever it got cold, and put 1t
on again."
By the way, every physician who has
had the annoyance and trouble of be.
Ing compelled to leave an all-important
matter Of poulticing to an ignorant
person will appreciate way that will
allow no loophole for mistakes and
failures,

Another Proof.

And now comes Secretary Gage OF
the treasury and gives one more proof
that. the democrats were right on
their financial contentious in 1896.
1t will be remembered that the demo
Gratis said that, although the per
capita circulation was given at 1924, nc
one knew how much there was pei
capita. That the manner of book
keeping at the treasury and methods
of reporting balances were misleading
in that no account was taken of money
destroyed or used in the arts. All
monies issued or coined since 1860
were counted as existing and in circu-
lation. The democrats denied this
and that if the actual facts were
known not to exceed SIS per capita
prevailed.
Now comes the secretary of the
treasury and declares that gold
amounting to the enormous total of
$400, 100000 is lost and cannot be
found. He has instituted search
and oy compiling all gold coin in 1860
together with all subsequent coinage
and all exports and imports of gold he
finds discrepancy of the amount
above given. This is for gold only,
the coin used least in circulation and
the most durable. No doubt fully as
much silver has been lost in the shuttle
and national bank notes half as much
more. Here we have a shortage of a
billion dollars, which divided among
$75, 900, 900 people would be 13A dollars.
Estimating the loss of silver at one
half the gold and currency at one
fourth we have loss of 81 dollars per
capita or an actual circulation of SIS
for each citizen instead of 1924.
This contention, the proof of which
even the republicans mustnow concedc
with the acknowledgement that the
great increase ingold coin and increase
in circulation has made better times
providing as it does the quantitative
theory of the democrats in 1896, will
force every unprecedented mind that
that party was not miles off from the
facts. 1t was Bryan contention then,
and it is now, that the per capita cir
culation was too small and that in
crease of money circulation made
prosperous times and that a decrease
made hard times. He commended that
the worlds supply. of gold was too
small to furnish the circulation and
that there was not as much in circula-
ton as the goldites contended. Secre-
tary Cages late circular only proves
that in this as in most things Bryan
was right. twill be found in time
that his contentious on trusts and
are equally correct

Lewis and Clark.

A mighty team were these two.
Truly their works live after them.
1t is nearly 100 years since they
started on that great exploration
fathered by Thos. Jefferson, up the
Missouri and down the Columbia
rivers, crossing the mountains between
and the results of it and the deep
interest in it still lives.
Their first ter-1S04-5-was spent
among the Mandan Indians: the
winter of 1906 they passed near the
mouth of the Columbia river among
the Clatsop Indians. They crossed
the Rocky Mountains at five different
places, and Travelled sometimes in
canoes, sometimes on horseback, some
times afoot, and covered about 10, 900
miles in all.
Their adventures proved truth to
be as strange as fiction; their dis
coveries were of the greatest impor-
lance.
Wonderland 1900 just issued by the
Northern Pacific Railway Co. is large
ly devoted to Lewis and Clark's ex-
ploration, and is the only popular and
reliable narrative of that expedition
recently published.

The people have always said that
when an insurance company took in
surance for $1,000 on a building, and
received premiums year after year on
that amount that if the building
burned the company should pay the
entire amount instead of trying to
crawl out of paying part of it on the
plea that the building was not worth
that amount. The last legislature
acceded to the peoples demands and
passed such law. However Governor
Shaw has taken it upon himself to
veto the bill. Governor Shaw isn't as

be. You don't hear anything about his

Republican platforms speak about
good trusts and bad trusts. 1t is un-
derstood that all trusts that contri-
butte literally to Mark Hanna's cam
paign fund are good trusts, and that
the bad ones are the stingy ones that
refuse to come down. AS matter Of
fact there never was such a thing as a
good trust in private hands, and there
never will be until angels are sent to

about good trusts is for political fat
frying purposes only.
