Another Treat In Store.

Splendid Flower Picture to Be Given Free
to Everybody Next Sunday.
The appreciation shown for the
two splendid flower pictures given
free to the readers of the great
Philadelphia Sunday Press this
year has led the publishers to pro-
vide third great picture to next
Sundays Press June 81. This
picture, which is quite as attractive
as the famous Yard of Roses and
Easter Lilies pictures, is called A
Basket of Blossoms. 1t is by the
famous Paul De Longpre, and is
one of his best works. 1t is 30 by
% inches in size and is also note
worthy as being the first example
OF a new method of color printing,
which is quite as wonderful as the
picture itself. The publishers guar
antee that every picture will be
perfect. There is certain to be n
great demand for next Sundays
Press, hence it will be well for all
who want thispicture to order their
copy IN advance.

The readers ofthis paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces ofthe system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con:
stitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list OF testimonials.

Public Ownership.

Every country In the world worth NAM
ing-or almost every country-owns in
whole or large part of the railroads,
except the United States, England and
Spain. We quote what follows from the
New York Journal.
But when we come to telegraphs we are
more lonesome yet. England and Spain
have their postal telegraph systems. So
does every country in Europe, every
country in Asia of any Importance, every
colony of note in Africa, every colony in
Australasia, and the principal republics Of
America. We loom up in solitary gran
deur as the only great country in the
world that permits part of its postal
system TO remain in private hands. And
even we are operating railroads and tele-
graphs with success in the Philippines
and Stelegraphs in Porto Rico, although
we cannot give our own people the bene-
fits enjoyed by our subjects"
In other countries cities poorer than
ours own their own street car lines, gas
works and electric light plants.
1t is estimated that one years sales OF
ice in New York at a reasonable price
would pay the whole cost of municipal
ice plant and leave surplus for some
thing else.
Some persons who admit that public
ownership would be good thing in itself
ask where the people would get all the
billions Of dollars needed to buy out the
public utilities now controlled by private
monopolies.
Bear this in mind: The people are pay.
ing for all these things now.
Every cent of their value comes from
public contributions. fthe people ceas
ed to patronize them, the Vanderbilts, the
Goulds, and the Huntingtons would be
paupers.
If the people can pay interest on the
cost of the railroads now, they could pas
it if the roads were their own property
especially as in that case they would hav.
very much less TO pay. The people.
money built the plants Of the Ice Trust
1t could equally well build plants of til.
peoples own.
1t is no experiment that we are propos
ing. Other countries have done the ex
perimenting and are now marching con
fdently ahead. The question for us /,
whether we..shall sit stolidly. like China
men. with our ears closed to the lesson.
of progress"
This shameful condition Of seryitude &c
corporation government in the United
States is all owing to our delegated sys
tenn Of government, which shuts the
people out entirely from all control, OF
even voice in their public affairs. How
long are they going to bow TO this moloch
of corporation government?

The Mckinley colonial policy as exhib-
tied in Cuba and Porto Rico is bowling

The Farmer and Cold Figures.

James H. Teller in his Battle of the
Standards" gives some statistics of
the farm which should serve to teach
a valuable lesson to farmers who have
been beguiled by "gold standard
In 1866 to 10 an acre of each of the fol-
lowing crops corn. wheat. oats, hay,
cotton, was worth $782I, an average o.
$I5.64 per acre. In 1898, as far as the
statistics of Mr.. Teller are carried, FIVE
acres Of the same products were worth on
the farm or in the farmers market, $40. rs,
or 1915 per acre. A fall in the market
price of the farmers produce to just about
one half.
Suppose farmer cultivates 100 acres
in these crops and sells-as sell he must
at the latter price, he will receive for his
work the grand total Of $Si5, out of which
he hired help, his repair bills and his
taxes must be deducted. How much will
he have left on which to support his
family?
There are thirty million farmers, in
Guiding all who are closely dependent on
the farm for their support How much
prosperity" can these thirty millions Of
people extract from the above cold facts?
The conditions are slightly shifted at the
present time from SO but they are not
improved for the farmer. The prices Of
his products are IL per cent, possibly,
better but what he has to buy the trusts
have put up so to $50 per cent.
This is the result of gold standard times.
corporation government and Republican
political economy of government taking
care of the rich and the rich taking care
of the poor. Every intelligent farmer
knows that the above are facts by the
lessons of his own experience. The ques-
ton of the highest importance is, is the
average farmer blockhead enough to wish
this condition of affairs to continue? AS
long as the policy of the gold standard
and trust government is supported by
farmers votes it must continue with
steady down grade tendency for him
and his.

Memorial Day.

Throughout the United States
Memorial Day, the Both of May,
was preserved by the old soldiers
who strewed flowers on the graves
of comrades sleeping in tens of
thousands of graves, and in thous-
ands of grave yards the beautiful
memorial services of the Grand
Army order were held.
Garfield Post gathered in Rising
Sun, sent details to the several
cemeteries where members of the
post and other comrades were
buried, to strew flowers and plant a
flag at the head of each grave. The
Post held memorial services in
Brookview cemetery over the grave
of Comrade Wilson, which was a
mound of flowers. In addition to
the ceremonial decoration, the pro-
cession of public school children
marched around the grave, and
each one laid a garland on his
tomb.
The public school procession
under the direction of Captain
Reynolds, presented the most spec
tacular feature of the occasion in
the march to the cemetery.
After the memorial exercises
were concluded, the company
assembled in the Friends Normal
school room where Rev. H. A. G.
Westerfield, of the M. e. church of
| Rising Sun, delivered the address
for the occasion, and we venture to
claim it was one of the finest and
most fitting ever delivered before
the Post on any former Memorial
Day. In fact it was an ideal adj
dress, and especially fitting was the
concluding reminder to the young
generation that there were Omin0us
signs that they might be allowing
the precious heritage TO slip from
them, which had been preserved
by the blood of the comrades who
had fallen, and the unparalleled
bravery ofthe battle scared and
broken health of the survivors, who
come together every year to strew
flowers on the graves of those who
have crossed the viewless river.
The corruption and mercenary
character Of the men who pass for
statesmen, who have succeeded in
grasping control of the government,
in their wild, insane greed for gold
and wealth beyond the dreams of
avarice, which is accumulating into
a few hands of a class of men who
regard neither God, man or the
devil, is cause for the gravest
apprehension.
