COLLECTIONS GOOD.

The National Publishers Association
of Minneapolis and the H. o. Rose Com
mercial Agency of Chicago are each
making some collections for the Repre-
sentative.
We prefer that subscribers should pay
early and direct to the paper before we
are compelled to send lists to an agency
We have no time to personally make
these collections. 1t is an immense
amount of work to look after a papers
advertising and circulation interests
We hope our subscribers will not turn
the deaf ear to the calls of these, our
collectors. Now is the time of year tc
get square with your newspaper. Send
direct to this Office all arrears and ST.
in advance and we will mark your labe
ahead to Jan. 1st, 1903. Mention this
offer when you remit.

The best way in which to send your
subscription money Is by postofhce
money order or by registered letter. One
or the other can be obtained at every
postofYice in the United States. Express
money orders are also cheap and con-
venient from the larger places: Bank
bills sent in ordinary letters. while com
monty safe enough, are occasionally lost;
hence, subscribers so sending must re-
In changing the address to which pa
per is to be mailed. it is absolutely nee
essary that the subscriber should give
his old as well as the new address. 9th
erwise the change cannot be made.
The receipt of subscription money Is
always acknowledged by the change OF
number on the address label. No other
receipt is necessary, II this change OF
date is not made within two weeks from
the time the money was sent, inquiry
should then be made by the subscriber:
STOPPING THE PAPER-The publish
er must be notified in writing when the
subscriber wishes the paper stopped. Re-
turning paper or refusing to take It from
your postmaster will not answer.
The law Is that every newspaper sub
scriber is held responsible until all ar.
may be ordered discontinued.
In order to reduce complaints to the
minimum in future, we desire to ask the
following questions:
Does your paper come regularly?
1e your name correctly spelled on oul
mailing list?
Are you getting more than one copy:

no prospects of future good. The lead
ers of fusion should have taken decisive
action long ago to sever all alliance with
Democracy. Few of them have shown
any such desire.
Mr.. Dixon has made some strong
points for unity. The time is oppor-
tune. There should be no delay. Time
is precious under the circumstances.
Mr.. Dixon, we think, assumes too
much when he claims that labor of the
cities is with us. Labor of the cities
was never Populist. Labor votes the old
party ticket until it gets knowledge, and
then it votes for socialism.
Mr.. Dixon is correct when he feels
that the reunited Populist Party ought
to control the reform movement. We
believe in nlajorities, we believe numbers
should rule. This is the essence of the
principle of the referendum. In 1894
there were fully twice as many Populist
voters as there are today Socialist vot-
ers. Populism was in 1894 larger and
stronger movement numerically than
Socialism is today.
Populists blundered, Populists fell by
the wayside, Populists compromised
with Bryan and allowed the Socialists
to take up their work, Populists lost
favor with the masses from whom they

remnant band is forced to see others

Mr.. Dixon is prominent in the move
ment to form an Alliance of all Popu-
lists with the new Socialist Party. Our
National chairman, Joe A. Parker, is
also in the movement.
Our best workers, our advanced think
ers, are favoring srch action. The day
is past for Populists 70 bring about re-
forms single handed.
Socialists are in no :,....- position to
get results alone. They are too few in
numbers, they are too startlingly radical
in their demands, they have too many
cranks trying to lead and their eccen-
tricities must be Topped off and the
rough corners of some of their crude
ideas be rounded down to adjustmen,
with the accepted notions of a larger
number of voters. Numbers are the
powers that must force reform and So.

them rather than on the side of con-
centrated wealth.
The hope of reform lies in organiza-
ton of the agricultural classes and the
city laborers each under their own ban
ners, and later the oppressive acts of the
Napoleons Of finance and captains of in
dustry will compel the producing classes
to act as unit.
Without organization reformers can
not act at all. Unless organized Farm
ers will be played for suckers and they
will always get caught. Let our Organi-

possible date.

500 REWARD. 500.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dread
ed disease that science has been able
to cure in all its stages, and that is Ca
tarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation Of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing it's work The
proprietors have so much faith in it's
curative powers that they offer One
hundred dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Men work too much, they work toe

most of his waking hours merely fol

little time to cultivate the affectionatt

time to think of the Father in HEAVIER

just as fast as it could practically be
brought about And much more can be
done in this direction than has alread,

If all the world we're wise, if all the
people were willing to carry their share
of the burden, if none shirked, if none
attempted to place upon other shoulder:
more than they ought to carry, the
worlds work could be accomplished ir

rest of the time be free.
Free for what? Pure idleness? Why

ing more than that; because there is nc
more virtue in work than there is ir
play or rest, if you consider them apart
by themselves. And why should people
not rest and play and sing and be happy
if they can?
The world works too much; and
there is no possibility of the higher
finer civilization except in release from
this toll. There was no art, no litera-
ture, no music, none Of these higher
and finer things of human life, until
some men earned release from what we
call common drudgery, and were able

The world works too much. The poor

man because he will; and large part
of this labor goes for what? For bread,
for houses, for horses and carriages, for

WHY DELAY ORGANIZATION?

he Farmers convention IN Mime
apolis, June nth and 18th, declared in
favor of reorganizing the farmers of
Minnesota this fall under the name of
Farmers Alliance or such other name
as might be adopted at a convention
or meeting to be called this fall by a
committee of S chosen to formulate
plans, suggest name and call such
meeting.
This committee was expected to act
about fair time. What is the committee
doing or intending to do? We would
suggest that this committee correspond
and decide upon some action and then
act. The committee expected action.
We are in receipt of a letter from
Secretary John R. Campbell of Clyde,
who seems to think some one should
move in the premises. 1t would seem to
us that those chosen for the purpose,
or at least majority of them, should
by correspondence get together and take
action. Socialists in nearly all the cities
and centers of industry are aggressive
and working up a powerful political
movement. Farmers generally are not
in entire accord with the Socialists.
Farmers probably outnumber the labor
vote of the cities. If farmers will or
ganize whether as Alliance, Grangers or
Populists, their numbers would carry
into practical effect their peculiar polit-
ical views.
Farmers of Minnesota should at once
have strong organization of their own
class. 1t matters little what may be its
name. Its purposes would inevitably
sooner or later be political. When the
proper time comes it would find a way
to cooperate with the city laborer
whose enemies and oppressors are iden-
teal with those of the farmer.
A strong farm organization would
give courage to our city brothers who
would take hope that when the crucial
test comes the farmer will stand with

ANARCHY.

Third Assistant Postmaster Madden
is today the most prominent Anarchist
in this country. He has usurped unto
himself powers greater than the consti-
tuition gives to congress. By a purely
arbitrary rule he has shut out from the
United States Postal privileges the pub
lications of Chas. H. Kerr & Co., Chi
cago; the Topeka Advocate, Kansas
the Challenge, New York City; and on
Nov. 2o proposes to suppress the CAP
peal to Reason" of Girard, Kansas. If
this is not Anarchy of the high-handed
sort, what is it? The plutes have for
several years tried to accomplish these
things and destroy reform literature by
the passage of the Loud bill.
Loud began to feel that he needed as
bodyguard of private detectives if he
further persisted in his attempts to sup
press the reform press.
The Plutes of the East have now
found new and even more plant and
servile tool in the detestable understrap-
per Third Assistant Postmaster General
Madden. President Roosevelt could
make some very much needed changes
in his present Cabinet. He could do no
better than begin with the tool who
seeks to violate the constitution by SUD-
pressing the freedom of the press.
Madden should have change.

All days shall be as all have been;
To-day and tomorrow bring fear and sor-
row,
The ending toll between.
When earth was younger, mid toll and
hunger,
In hope we strove, and our hands were
strong;
Then great men led US, with words they
fed us,
And babe us right the earthly wrong.
Go read in story their deeds and glory
Their names amidst the nameleSS dead;
Turn them from lying to us slow-dying
In that good world to which they led.
Where fast and faster our iron master,
The thing we made, forever drives,
Bids us grind treasure and fashion pleasure
For other hopes and other lives.
Where home is howell and dull we grovel
Forgetting that the world is fair;
Where no babe we cherish, least its very
soul perish;
Where mirth is crime and love a snare.

AS we lie in the hell our hands have won
For us are no rulers but fools and befoolers,
The great are fallen, the wise men gone
l heard men saying, leave tears and pray
ing
The sharp knife heedeth not the sheep;
Are we not stronger than the rich and the
WrOnger,
When day breaks over dreams and sleep?
Come, shoulder to shoulder ere the world
grows older!
Help lies in naught but thee and me;
Hope is before us, the long years that bore
us
Bore leaders more than men may be-
Let dead hearts tarry and trade and marry
And trembling nurse their dreams of
mirth,
While we the living our loves are giving
To bring the bright new world to birth.
Come, shoulder to shoulder, ere earth grows
Older
The cause spreads over land and sea;
Now the world shaketh, and fear awaketh,
And joy at last for thee and me.

An the Russets in their jackets are

An yer thank yer self an Goodness, yer

An the wind outside a roarin' an bowling
With a mug OF cider warmth on the bricks

Lest he's gonter gets some apples from the

Where the summer breaths an sunshines

HIGH PRESSURE DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work in
cessantly with brain and hand to hold their
own nowadays. Never were the demands
of business, the wants of the family, the re-
quirements of society, more numerous.
The first effect of the praiseworthy effort to
keep up with all these things is commonly
seen in a weakened or debiliated condition
of the nervous system, which results in dys-
pepsia, defective nutrition of both body
and brain, and in extreme cases in complete
nervous prostration. 1t is clearly seen that
what is needed is what will sustain the
system, give vigor and tone to the nerves,
and keep the digestive and assimilative
functions healthy and active. From per-
sOnal knowledge, we can recommend Hoods
the vital organs, builds up the whole sys-
TEN, and fits men and women for these high
pressure days.

From a Fire of Apple Wood.

Through wind-swept sheets of driven rain
The ancient orr lard shows fOrlOrn,
Like brave old soldiery half slain,
With gaps to tell the losses borne.
And fragments of the fallen trees
Burn on the hearth before me bright;
The fire their captive spirit frees
Musing watch it take its flight.
How swift the flames of gold and blue
Up from the glowing logs aspire!
There yellOw-bird and blue-bird flew,
And Oriole, each with wings of fire.
Now in the hearth-light-on the trees
Stirs something they and have heard
All, is it not the summer breeze,
Come back to us with sun and bird?
Poor summers, born again-tO die!
Quickly as they come, they go.
See, where the ashes smOuldering lie,
The orchard floor is white with snow.
