A STATEMENT.

In order that the straight Populists of
Texas and elsewhere may not be mis-
led by the slanderous and libelous state
ments being published throughout the
country by the emissaries Of the Ne
braska fusionists, the following facts
are submitted:
l. l have never had any conference
with any Democrat or Republican party
official, in Texas or elsewhere, on any
business, political or otherwise.
No Republican or Democrat in Tex
as or elsewhere ever paid me one cent
for my political influence or support,

TOPEKA, Jan. 25.-In an interview
today, ex-supreme court reporter, G. c.
Clemens, serves notice on the Populist
state committee that if it submits to a
division Of the state ticket with the
Democrats this year he will bolt the
party and organize one of his own. 1t
is his plan to put straight Socialist
ticket in the field if the Populists recog-
nize the Democrats in the makeup Of
the state ticket. He said: -
II have been scolded some for pub
fishing my interesting political lucubra-
lions in Republicn papers, but how else
is poor Populists, so unreasonable as
to be sincere, to get anything pub
lished for his brethren to read? The
extent to which I have been labored
with since my remarks to the state COM
that what I said was deemed to be of
some consequence, yet with two ex-
ceptions only, so far as I know, the
fusion press has been silent as the grave
about the fact that have said anything.
The fusion papers seem to be under a
censorship as grave as that they COM
plain of Otis for maintaining. So again
I must go into the Republican press to
make my position clear. I have not left
the Populist party. I am waiting to see
whether, when the state committee gets
through with it, there will be anything
left to leave. Besides, I find it much
harder to leave the party over whose
cradle have helped watch than it was
to leave the party into which 1 was
born.
But I cannot stand everything. If
the state ticket is to be divided l must
go. l have written and spoken too
much in years past to make it possible
for me to endure that and retain my self
respect. Nor do 1 propose to become a
Democrat. I believe in affirmation.
Mere negation can do no good for the
people. The Democratic party does not
propose to take single step in advance.
All its demands amount to no more than
that we shall get back in "the good old
times" Back to bimetallism, back to
where we were before the Spanish war,
back to the competitive system which
prevailed before the trusts came. The
Mississippi is requested to withdraw
from the Gulf and flow back to it's
source and stay. We need but go back
to 1872 to find everything precisely as
the Democratic party wishes everything
to be again. We had bimetallism then,
and we had neither Imperialism nor
trusts. Yet the people were not happy

RESERVE FOOD OF WORLD
Nut Product Alone Could Feed Three
Times the Present Population.

Chow long will the worlds food sup
ply hold out?" is a problem that faces
the alarmist every time he runs up
against fresh batch Of statistics prov
ing the rapid increase OF population
throughout the earth.
The alarmist, as we'll as the man who
regards three square meals a day as
necessary to his comfort, will find reas-
surfing news in the fact that the reserve
food supply Of the world has been de-
clared inexhaustible.
The department of agriculture at
Washington is authority for this COM
forting piece of information. For some
time past it has been carefully and sys-
tematically investigating the food stock
in trade of nearly every country on the
globe.
Agents who are food students have
been sent out to China, Peru, Persia,
Mexico, everywhere to the remotest
ends of the earths for the purpose Of
finding out what the new or neglected
food products are, their value as nu-
tricious diet and the extent to which
they can be used to lensthen the menu
of the civilized cook.
Some very interesting and startling
facts are being handed in through the
reports that cover the food question.

ed down upon as weeds, are health CIV
ing products and should be ranked as
portion of the reserve food supply. In
deed, the bureau has selected II of the
most ordinary weeds and has issued a
pamphlet extolling their virtues as
available, healthful foods. In the list
are found dock, the mashed marigold
mercury, black charlock, commonly
held as poisonous; chicory, pokeweed,
also regarded as poisonous; purslane,
for which the farmer inherits his
dislike, and the despised nettle.
A wonderful reserve fund for the hui
man appetite is to be found in the vege-
table diet of the klamath Indians. A
novel variety of food forming a menu
unknown to civilization is offered in the
pulp of the great yellow water lily,
food; in the weed known as goosefoot,
which bears black seed that is ground
up for loaves and cakes, and in the
arrowhead, which in the fall develops a
starchy white tuber at the end of the
roots, not to mention the tubers that
resemble beets, turnips and carrots, the
nuts that are ground into Coffee and
the flower leaves that furnish fairy-like
desserts.
The tanning of wild fruits is another
branch Of the food agents business. Mr..
Augustus Henry, who is authority on
Chinese flora, states that there at least
100 varieties of fruits growing wild in
the interior Of China, and if transplant
ed to another soil and properly cult
waited would prove as important food
supply as our present necessary apple
and pear. The LIE Conte pear, which
has revolutionized pear growing in
Southern California, was originally the

DOWNTRODDEN WEEDS ARE Ed
RT,E


BILE.
An endless variety of downtrodden
weeds can be converted into wholesome
succulent garden truck Even the
much maligned nettle has the latent
qualities of delicious entrements.
Especially interesting are the facts
furnished by the nut specialists. There
is no product that requires SO little cul-
tivation as the nut, and none is more
wholesome as food staple. An or
chard of 1000 trees in California yields
every year over $4,000 pounds of hulled
nuts.
Already the commercial mind has
seized upon the enormous profits to
accrue from the sale of various prepara-
lions of nuts and at least ten large COM
panies manufacture nothing but nut
foods.
The government is making a special
point of recommending nut culture In
New England the abandoned farms are
being planted with nut trees, and the
worked out ground is found to furnish
nourishment enough to cause the wal
unit, butternut and chestnut to flourish
abundantly. Farms in nearly every
Northwestern state are planting nut
trees along with their peaches and
pears, and are utilizing the hillsides
where nothing else will grow for nut
orchards.
In the past the objection to nuts as
a food has been that they were deemed
hard to digest, but with the new meth
DDS of preparing and cooking them they
are rendered as healthful as they are
digestion does not invariably wait on
appetite.
The introduction of new foods is an
excellent plan for both the health and
prosperity of the nation. Nearly all of
what are regarded as indigenous fruits
and vegetables have been imported to us
from other lands. OF the food plants
now in use only pumpkins and few
grapes, plums and berries were original
ly found in the soil.
WHERE WE GOT THEM.
Oats barley and rye originated in the
wild forms along the Mediterranean.
The first noted species of wheat were
brought from Persia. The common
garden bean traces it's ancestry back to
to the landing of the Pilgrims to an
early aboriginal state in the Andes.
The Orient furnished us with melons,
cucumbers and onions. Egg plants and
tomatoes were discovered in Peru.
Ounces, pears, currents and large white
grapes in Europe. While the most COM
mon of our vegetables, celery, lettuce,
cabbage and spinach were transplanted
from the shores of the Mediterranean.
If these important features of our
daily food supply have all found their
way to us from foreign lands, it seems
but a question of sufficient search
throughout the world to increase the
store until all possibility Of food
famine in future ages is rendered incon-
ceiveable.
