% soLpTERs REMoNsTRATE


The state encampment Of the G. A.
r. was held at HoltOn, Kan, last week.
Owing to the fact that these survivors
Of fratricidaI war that was perhaps
the most momentious the world has
ever seen, and upon the alters Of their
country did place the vigor and man
hood Of youthful years, they feel justi-
fed in asking the unstinted support Of
their loved country when the hard
ships and the years have bowed them
down. The government Of the United
States is able financially to strengthen
the weak hands and the feeble knees
Of its veterans.
But the time has now come when the
fostering care Of better days is slowly
being turned into neglect. The repUb-
Hean camp, the boosted friend and
favorite stamping ground Of the old
soldier, is beginning to be viewed with
no little suspicion as to the honesty
with which the administration seems
to display toward them, but in fact is
but feigning sympathy from q stony
heart.
Here are the resolutions adopted by
the encampment. They endorse the
action Of the state encampments at
Wichita and Hutchinson, and the na-
tional encampment at Philadelphia in
demanding the removal Of Pension
Commissioner II. Clay Evans, and con-
tinued:
Whereas, In justice to the serious
condition with which we are confront
ed in these our decling years, We feel
it to be our duty to speak plainly and
distinctly in POrtraying our unjust
treatment and demanding our legal
rights while We have yet one million
voices to proclaim them; therefore be IL
Resolved, That we again do most re-
specially request Of our chief eXecu-
tive that he give heed to our repeated
complaints and requests presented to
him by resolutions and petitions, and
BY representatives, and that he cause
to be abrOgated rule 225; that he rein
instate the principle in full effect Of
rule 164, and that he cause the admin
istratiOn Of the pension bureau to be
so readjusted as to take from pension
claimants and their witnesses the pre-
sumption of fraud and perjury, and see
that they are treated with that respect
and honor due to the volunteer defend
ers; and We ask for such further regu-
latiOn Of the pension bureau as shall
aggregate ali the claimants disabilities
thereon according to the evidence in
the case, without scaling or reduction,
and that all pension laws be justly and
literally construed and applied in the
generous spirit Of their enactment, and
that all pending claims be forthwith
speedily adjudicsted without technical
distractions or evasion.
Resolved, That We most emphatically
disapprOve Of the pension bill known
as the GallingeF senate bill 1477, which

BROKEN BRI6-H-BRH6S.

AR. Major. the famous cement nan Of NsB
York, explains some very interesting facts shout
Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that it is many hundred per cent better
than other cements, for which similar claims
are made. but great many do not know Why.
The simple reason Is that Mr.. Major uses the
best materials ever discovered and other man
ufactuFers do not use them, because they are too
expensive and no not allow large profits. Er.
Major tells Us that one of the elements Of his
cement costs 1913 a pound. and another costs
called cements and liquid glue upon the market
are sixteen-ceDt glue, dissolved IA water or SIT
nc acid, and, IN some cases, altered slightly ID
color and odor BY the addition OF cheap and
useless materials
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents q bottle, ana when a dealer
tries TO sell substitute you can depend upon
il that his only object Is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
tins is dOubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit OF Mr. Maj
Ors advertising. which now amounts to over
5000 month, throughout the country. Estab-
I hshed In 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
off-hand advice from a druggist.
/ If you are at all handy land you viii be likely
you lmagInel you can repair your rubber boots
and family shoes, and any other rubber and
{ leather articles, with Majors Rubber Cement
and Majors Leather Cement.
And you viii be surprised at how many dol
I lars year you viii thus save.
& If your druggist cant supply you, it VIII be
forwarded BY mail; either kind, free Of postage.

ENGLAED UsEs THE DUM-DUM
webster Davis Tells Of the Cruel Opera
tiOns Of the EngIfsh-They are Us
Ing Explosive Cartridges.


Webster Davis, former assistant sec
rotary Of the interior, spoke in New
York recently at a meeting at the Ac-
ademy Of Music held under the aus
pioes Of the New York committee to
aid the South African republics. He
said in part:
sThe great masses Of our people do
sympathize with the Beers They stand
for liberty, for civilization, for self-gOv-
eminent and for peace. Every effort
should be put forth by them to bring
this unholy war IN South Africa to a
close. We cannot as American free
men, whose ancestors risked their lives
for freedom and independence, with
hold our sympathies from the farmers
Of the TransvaaI.
chamberlain has attempted to dom
mate and dictate in their internal af-
fairs, just as George III interfered in
the affairs of the colonies. Indeed,
England has trodden truth under foot
and trampled honor and good faith in
the dust. And we're ne to conquer the
Beers there is no doubt in the world
that they would be compelled to suffer
as the people of Ireland have suffered
for centuries. British cruelty is pro-
verbal.
"During the battle of the Tugela river
1900 lyddite shells fell among the
Beers, and though at the Hague con-
vention dum-dum bullets we're con-
| demned by representatives of the civ
ilized world as ut only for savages, yet
have now in my possession three IN
exploded dum-dum cartridges that
picked up on the top of Spion kop, in
the trenches that the British occupied,
and I have also two exploded d1m-dum
bullets that we're given me by sur
geon as he extracted them from the
/ bodies Of two dead Beers.
Numerous have been the instances
Of British cruelty on the battlefelds Of
South Africa, such as the abuse of the
white flag and the firing upon the Red
Cross. And the conduct of the British
| troops, especially the Lancers, has no
parallel in modern warfare.
Il WISH 20 GOD that IUO,OOO Americans
would arm themselves and with an Am
erican feet 60 to the help of the Beers.
If that is possible, then We can tell the
the world that We do not sympathize
with the British, but We do sympathize
with the Beers.
"TheTe is not a grander man living
today than Paul Kruger; and Cecil
Rhodes is the damndest scoundrel IN
hung.
SHOULD the British by overwhelming
numbers succeed in cOnquering the
Beers in the present struggle it will
avail nothing. Future generations will
take up the burden where their strick-
en- fathers laid it down and the out
come is certain"

What Are You Going 20 Do About 1t?
The trusts are baslzing in the sun
shine Of the Republican party's favor
They are raising the price of almost
every necessity of life They are tax
ing you on the right hand and on the
left; on the food upon your table and
the coat on your back You can't ex-
ist without paying tribute 10 them;
and, like Oliver Twist, they are al
ways asking for more What are you
going to do about it? Some men viii
say they are going to buy just as lit
tie as possible, do with less, make
their old clothes wear longer and give
mp all thought Of bull ling that new
barn, or crib or shed. That's isn't the
way our forefathers did IN 1875 when
a stamp tax was imposed upon them
They saw the injustice Of the imPOsi-
ton, and they determined to fight for
freedom The cause Of human rights
needs martyrs to-day as much-aye,
even more-than it did then We
have got to look beyond IT owl i'm
mediate personal Interests AMI think
for humanity. Unless there are men
unsel6sh enough to do this, our cause
is hopeless. Something higher than
the dollar must stir Us to action or
our efforts will be in vain

BETRAYED bv snap Shots

A we'll known photographer of New
York recently had his country house
Overhauled. a new skylight was added
and extensive alterations were made in
the roof. The men engaged on the job
took their time and did not overwork
themselves, which did not prevent the
rOofer from presenting a bill almost as
steep as his calling. When the owner
of the house expOstulated, it was ex-
planned to him that the men had to be
paid for their time, and they had spent
several days on the job. "No wonder. j"
said the photographer, and then he
produced a number of snapshot photo
graphs, representing the men on the
roof Of his house, as taken from the
attic window of an adjoining building

Republicans As Degenerate Romans.

Republicans As Degenerate Romans
Reading a page Of Roman history by
the great historian James Anthony
FrOude, is like reading The history Of
the Mckinley administration down to
date, and the results it has attained.
Says the historian, referring to the
latter end Of the Roman republic:
@To obtain a province was the first
ambition OF a Roman noble. The road
to It lay through the praetorship and
the cOnsulship; these offices, therefore
became the prizes of the state; and
being in the gift of the people, they
we're sought after by means which de
moraIized alike the givers and the re-
ceivers. The elections were managed
By clubs and coteries; and, except on
occasions of national danger or politi-
cal excitement, those who spent most
freely were most certain of success.
@Under these conditions the chief
powers of the commonwealth necessar-
lily conferred in the rich. There was no
longer an aristocraey of birth, still less
of virtue.
~The patrician families had the start
IN the race. Great names and great
possessions came to them by inherit
anee. But the door Of promotion was
open to all who had the golden key.
The great cOmmoners bought their
way into the magistrates. From the
magistrates they passed into the SEN
ate; and the Roman senator, though in
Rome itself and in free debate among
his colleagues, he was handled as an
ordinary man. When he Travelled had
the honor of a sovereign.
The proud privilege Of Roman eiti-
zenship vas still jealousy reserved to
Rome itself and to a few favored towns
and colonies; and a mere subject could
maintain no rights against a member
Of the naughty oligarcby which con
trolled the civilized world. Such, gen
orally, the Roman people had become,
Or vas tending to become, in the years
which followed the fall of Cartilage.
B. Q. 146. Public spirit IN the masses
was dead or sleeping; the common
wealth was a plutOcracy. The free
forms Of the constitution were them
selves the instruments Of corruption. y
