deemed too great for them, and no In
competency In any branch of their
work is excused. No essays or books

be. These are the housekeeping wives

If these women had the time to rest

Mr.. Charles II. Flint, officer in fifty
different corporations-most of them in
the nature of trusts-declares that the
country indorsed the trust system at
the last election. There is some war
rant for the assertion. 1t by no means
follows, however, that the trusts have
come to stay, as Mr.. Flint declares.
The power that makes can unmake
and even If the trusts do not fall to
pieces through their own rottenness-a
contingency by no means unlikely-the
power to abolish them always resides
IN the people. That is to say, the trusts
do not own the country. They exist
upon sufferance. They can be wiped
out whenever the people make up their
minds to it.-Chicago Chronicle.

Chicago, were told to vote for "full

cut was made In wages all along the
line, and wages were placed 30 low that
it was q question with the men whether
they would work and starve or starve
without working, and they chose the
latter, and have refused to work for the
pittsnce offered. The result is that the

shut down indefinitely. The men who
are thus out of work as winter is just
coming on, are trying to determine in
their own minds the difference between

She saw him grin. That broke what

patience. She testify snatched the coin
from the bewildered conductor. AS she

Great Is the Dairy industry.


Dairying was practiced in this coun-
try in colonial times, butter and cheese
being mentioned among the earliest
of American exports. But in those
days 1t was only feature of general
farming, while now it is an important
industry; in fact, entire farms of many
hundred acres are devoted exclusively
to it. This progress has all been made
during the last three-qusrters of this
century, for in 1925 the same crude in
convenient implements for churning
were employed that had been brought
to this side of the ocean by the pilgrims
years before.
The following 25,ryears, however,
marked period of much Improvement
in the dairy business, and many of the
old fashioned churns were abolished, to
be- supplanted by the modern inven-
tlons. The demand for dairy products
had materially increased, the small
towns and cities had to be supplied
with milk. and there was an extensive
market for butter and cheese. Farm
ers awakened to the fact that there
was much profit in the dairy industry
if conducted properly and went to work
to study the best methods Of curing the
cream and utilizing skimmilk In var
ious forms. Better care was taken Of
their cattle. Cattle we're imported into
this country from all over the globe
and were scientifically bred and devel-
oped into excellen. milk cows. Con-
densed milk had been perfected, cream
cries were established and there began
to grow large KIP IT trade. Dairy
organizations were uco'rorated for the
mutual benefit Of the farmer and the
manufacturer, 50 that when the wal
broke out this business had made &C
much headway that skillful ..dsirymen
were able to meet the demands, of the
time and accordingly became very
wealthy on the profits of q compare
lively new industry in.ithe United
| States.

Gold Democrats For Bryan.

The Palmer and Buckuer
democrats of Mclean county,
Illinois, formally announces
that they are now supporting
Bryan and Stevenson.
They have issued statement
in which they declare that their
views on the silver question,
which was the leadipgLissue in
1896, have undergone no change.
But in their judgement, this
has, for the time being at least,
given place in Importance to
two others, which have been
forced upon the country by the
republican party and which
now, in their belief, threaten
our basic national principles
and organic national life ;" They
state these issues as follows:
1. "Un American COLOMBIA
tion, descriptive not only for
our national integrity and
morals, but also of our national
peace prosperity and perpetui-

2. ''The fostering OF trusts
and of unjust and fragrant pri-
vate monopoly"
The colonization to which the
Mclean county democrats OBJ
jects is indeed un-American.
Properly speaking, it is not
colonization at all, which means
the seuding forth of people from
a parent country to occupy the
wilderness and plant there the
laws, the institutions, the civili-
cation of the country.
What the republican party
has undertaken to do is not to
people a wilderness, either ad-
joining or remote from the Unit
ed States, with Americans, but
to establish American dominion
over countries already as den
sely populated as Illinois or
even Observation-Disclosures mil

gions where there is no room
for American colonies in the
proper sense of the word.
To true colonization-that is.
to the overflow of American
people and institutions into un-
occupied territory or. territory
occupied only by few rowing
savages who practically ma Ike

rational objection.
