That Full Dinner Pail.

One of the smoothest and most se-
ductive campaign trick of the Repub-
lican party in the last two campaigns
was the promise to the workingmen of
a full dinner pail. That tempting
article of tinware was worked into all
sorts OF campaign devices and blazoned
upon deadwalls in pictures that were
full of ad captandum captivation. Aud
how great has been the boast OF the
Dingley tribe OF dervishes that under
that proud banner OF protection the
pals have been full to the lid!
But the law of compensation works
on parties as surely as on other sub
iects. The full dinner pail has come
to be an eye-sore to the plutocrats who
have been created and combined into
gigantic and greedy trusts by the OPP
erations of the tariff. These hungry
eyed cormorants envy the common
man his full dinner pail his satifed
appetite and his contented count
enance. They believe the lean mule
pulls strongest toward the trough, and
the hungry laborer is more likely to
stay by his job and be thankful for his
half-rations.
To-day the man with the dinner pail
is up against dilemma that puzzles
him worse than box OF pigs in clover!
He must decide between a full dinner
pail and an empty pocket. The meat
and dsiry trusts have raised prices of
meats and butter 30 that he cannot
have a sutficency of OF his usual foods
and surplus from his wages. The
| beef and butter barons have sized up
his pile and demand it all! Every
article, almost, of his home consump-
tion-furniture clothing and food-has
felt the pushing-up process that is the
foundation principle OF protection.
Although he may be receiving tri-
fling advance in the rate Of his wages,
he sees all of it, and more added to
the prices of his necessaries of life.
The full dinner pail that once swung
so heavily on his arm now harbors an
increasing valcum and sounds hollow
when he sets it on the ground. 1t
used to WOO him with the reflection
from its glistening sides of his own
broad smile-now it laughs back his
mocking jeers at Its deoimation and
delusion, He sees now that he was
baited into the support Of protection
only to be skinned for the benefit of
the trusts and the proprietors of the
favored industries. The tariff gives
them power and opportunity to both
price his labor and his food-and to
make the price of the latter larger
than the former.
Old birds are not caught twice with
chaff, and if the American people
have not lost all their senses and
and courage and love of equity they
will fill up the surplus space in their
dinner pals this fall with dynamite
and indigestion and blow the pirate
craft and crew of protection out
of the national waters. We believe
sincerely that they have the gumption
and the nerve to do that needed deed
of self-emancipation. .-AtIantG Con-

No Occasion For Surprise.

Joseph T. Tstum's surprise over the
action of the Crawford County Repub-
lican Convention in denouncing the
men who voted for the issuance of the
certificates OF Indebtedness would be
justified if he were unacquainted with
the history OF the Republican politi-
clans in this Stsse.
Ben f. Russell, eX-Speaker OF the
Legislature, is the supposed boss of the
Republicans in Crawford. He is the
editor of a paper in Steelvllle which
breaches Republican doctrines for the
faithful. Such an influence in the Re-
publican organization is he..that he
will be the Republican nominee for
Congress in the new Sixteenth District,
enough counties having given instruc-
tions to him to assure his success.
The convention Of Crawford County
Republicans adopted resolution which
condemned ''the squandering of the
School Fund by the Democratic party
and the substitution of worthless GER
tifcates of Indebtedness and the at
tempt to force the people to recognize
the validity of said certificates
Russell was supposed to have been
a Republican at the time he voted for
the certificates. He is certainly q
Republican to-day when seeking fresh
honors at the hands of his party. His
past record has evidently been forgot
ten, 1t is repudiated, if remembered.
A peculiar quality of assurance is nee
essary for him to make campaign on
such platform.
Nevertheless, it is hardly fair to hold
up Mr.. Russell as an exception. The
same thing is being done by other Re-
publicans of equal prominece. Moses
Whyba of Marble Hill wishes to go
to the Supreme Court. He voted for
the certificates which conventions are
denouncing while giving instructions
for him. Major Bittinger has returned
from the Consulate in Montreal to be
a delegate to the State Conven tion
which will be compelled to follow the
lead of the county conventions in
adopting resolution opposing the Ger,
tifcates.
These are not all. Over the State
Republicans are reversing themselves,
now that the party machine has forced
them to seat dirtn on the manufact
ured issue. AS Mr.. Tatum says, they
must acknowledge that they were
either fools or knaves at the time they
voted for the certificates. Either horn
of the dilemma is offered.
OF course, the utter lack of respon-
sibility which Missouri Republicans
feel for their actions is the reason for
their present willingness TO pass any
sort of resolution. Platforms have
always had little meaning to the poll
ticians in control OF the Missouri Re
publican organization. No man &C
quainted with their acrobatic feats il
reversing themselves should see any
thing unusual in the resolutions nov
being adopted in the county conven
tions condemning the certificates of in
debtedness. s.-St. Louis Republic.

However. this instance is no more amusing than
many years ago. A man had been arrested the

Last Saturday, the Sioux City Iron
Works bought an old boiler that has
been lying just north of the elevator
at the Northwestern yards. They
bought it for the old iron there was in
it and cared little for its history. The
boiler was an odd shaped affair and by
making inquiries we found it had
quite story. About thirty years
ago, before the railroads had driven
the slow moving river steamers to the
dry dock, a boat named The Tennes-
see' was moving slowly up the Mis-
souri,. When it reached bend few
miles south of Onawa near where the
old Thompson mill stood, it struck 9
snag and sank beneath the muddy
waters. The crew escaped and j, OK
Thompson fell heir to the boat. With
great difficulty he hauled the heavy
boiler to Onawa, intending to sell it
for use as boiler again. But tie
pattern was old even at that time ard
the sale was not made. For thirty
years it has been exposed to all the
changes of the changcable weather,
yet the iron is still good-Onawa Ga

These springs are not of re-

known their healing qualities for
almost 800 years. In fact the
Sioux about the year A d 1917
fought a great battle here with
the tribe in possession and drove
them out, to hold possession of
the healing waters from that day
to the time when, in 1877, they
coded the land to the U s Govern

three centuries ago that gives the
