The Democrats who look upon
William Jennings Bryan as a
<*peerless leader and the Demo-
Gratis who don't will continue to
dwell in separate camps-the only
change in the situation being that
in some states the Don'ts are
likely to control the organization
this year. With Hill, for instance
ss the presidential candidate for
1904, and with Bryan leading a
holt, the Republicans will have a
walk-over, if the Republicans
themselves avoid the folly of a
family falling-out.

s.In 1899 the Ohio democrats
aheart1ly" reaf6rmed the entire
Chicago platform OF 1896 aud es-
pecially emphasized the financial
plank therein and continued to
ndemand the free and unlimited
coinage and so on. Mr.. Bryan
Had their "entire confidence" and
they demanded that stateman's
denomination.
In 1901, the Ohio democrats
throw the financial plank of the
Chicago platform overheard, and
they say nothing about Mr.. Bryan
Mr. Bryan has not changed. He
holds still the belief which he
held in 1896 and 1899 and 1900.
The Ohio democrats have been as
loud as anybody in glori6cat'on of
him. But he has been defeated
twice.: Clearly the way of FEEDER

Gods green earth to mention
WOOL MAlthu Ohio, Republican
One of the incidents of this
drouthy midsummer is shortage
in the supplies of potatoes due to
a natural slowness in the develop
ment of the tubers in the parched
earth. The price of cid potatoes
has been in the neighborhood of a
dollar, and now that the supply IS
practically exhausted, household
ers are compelled to pay from 81
to 81 rs a bushel for new potatoes
which range in size froma hickory.
nut to walnut. The shortage of
potatoes has been a severe blow
to hotel men and resUauranteurs,
as. the vegetable goes with every
meal, and patrons would object II
it were omitted. T.
The new" potatoes which are
marketed in Milwaukee are un-
doubtedly the real thing, but as
cording to the July number OF
Popular Science it is not safe for
people west of Denver to make
oath that they have purchased or
are eating new stock. It seems
that the honest farmers of Cali
fornia have a way of making new
potatoes that beats the planting OF
the most favorable seasons. Popu-
lar Science thus describes this
small potato fraud:
Late in the season, after other
crops are out of the way, the gar
dener plants a crop of late and
bookkeeping potatoes. The time
has been chosen from experience,
and is opportune for a yield of
small potatoes before the frosts of
winter come upon the gardeners
truck patch. These potatoes are
dug and buried in heaps in the
open field and left until spring
opens and the new potato season
arrives. At the proper time the
heaps are opened and the potatoes
sorted according to size. In the
meantime large kettle or vat is
set in the field adjacent to the po~
tato heaps, and made ready by
filing with water and adding sufi'
Gent lye to tffectually curl the
skin of the potato when dipped
into the boiling solution. A crane
and metal basket are rugged SO
that the dripping can be done ex-
peditiousIy, and the way that new
potatoes cen he turned out is as
tonishing. The effect Of dipping
any potato, no matter how old,
into this boiling lye solution is to
crack and curl the skin, and at the
same time it hardens or makes
the potato moro firm, so that its
resemblance to new potato is SC
near that it would be hard to pick
out the imposter, from appearance
alone, from basket of the genu.
inc article. After dipping; the
potatoes are rinsed in another vat
and spread out to dry in the sun,
and cure into perfect new potatoes
and the work is complete.
The old saying that "There are
tricks in all trades but ours" ap-
plies sarcastically to the doings OF
the farmers as we'll as to the many
packers of foodstuffs who are de-
liberate1y trucking the public with
spohistications and toying care
lessly with the health of consu,n-
