THE MID ROAD POPULIsTs.
No More Fusion, Says Parker, May Meet at
Memphis
(Bv the Associated Press. }


Memphis, Tenn, March 3-Jos. Parker,
Chairman National Convention Middle of
the Road Populists, is in the city in con-
ference with citizens in regard to having
the National POpulist Convention trans
ferred from Louisville to Memphis. 1t is
announced that he will recommend the
transfer and that later date than April
End will be selected. Mr.. Parker said
today:
There will be no more fusion between
the Democratic and Populist parties. Each
must work Independently of the other
hereafter. The Democratic party is get
ting further away from its last two plat
forms and is abandoning all the princi-
pies cherished by the Populists. All of
our people realize that We can gain moth
ing by hanging to them and we mean to
get back to our first ideas as rapidly as
possible.
1T is probable that a new platform will
be made at the coming convention. 1t
will not differ materially from the pres
ent platform but it will be one that will
be distinctly understood by all factions
and one upon which every man can
stand"

MISS KATE DUNN.
Nations must show gratitude like in
dividuals. Pensions were granted in 1875
and it has seemed just to continue them
The reward received during service is
not sufficient. 1t is stated that there are
three laws upon which pensions are grant
ed: ~ To stimulate patriotism CD To
equaliZe pay received with services rem
dered. (3) Broad sentiment of gratitude.
If our roll is larger than other countries
so was our army. The system is not re-
sponsible for its frauds. Soldiers go 10
battle with greater enthusiasm because
a government behind them is ready 10
provide for wife and children.
Then came for the Philaretians
MISS ELIZABETH PARKER.
She declared that pensions were simply
Numbering the people, that one-third OF
the roll was said to be fraud and that
dead pensioners were impersonated. Inc
.ystem was a parasite while the roll
should be one of honor. She declared that
STATES received unequal shares and that
while North Carolina gave . TO Z million
it got back little The method was
fraudulent in that pension sharks got
rich on it; the files were secret and that
while the money come from 40 states
nine-tenths of it went to fourteen states
She declared it was political and not
military service that kept up the pension
roll.
Following for the affirmative was:
MISS MINNIE SUTTON.
She claimed that charges of fraud were
greatly exaggerated that the country
should reward it's soldiers. That as the
physical and moral man was injured by
war he should be aided by his country;
that the nation owes it as debt OF
gratitude. The Constitution recognize
the pension roll. 1t was large, but IT
grew as the country grew. 1t was no
longer a sectional question now as the
blue and gray had fought side by side
under the flag and were receiving PEN
sons. The principle of the system was
right
The last speaker for the negative was
MISS MARY JOHNSON.
A soldier who is able bodied deserves
no more than any other able bodied en-
ployee of the government. Pensions en-
courage volunteers for pensions only.
The system was lax, there were III
amendments in the past % years. The
pension to Mrs. Mckinley, with no family
and 5000, 900 was an example of the wrong.
Soon Congressman would be pensioned
at $4,000 year. The money that goes
out of North Carolina for pensions would
keep every school open 10 months in the
year, give $4,000 a year to each of two
high schools and give 500, 900 each to the
University, the A. and M. College and the
State Normal College. The influence of
PENSIONS was debasing, it drove out pa
triotism. Without it in time the old
expression would change because of ad-
herence to teachings of Washington and
Jefferson and we would have He was the
roblest American of them alr' and this
without pensions.

MISS ESTELLE JOHNSON.

Our proud position as a nation came
because of much suffering from our SOL
diers. If we are to recognize soldiers
deeds of bravery how can We abolish the
pension system2 The tax on liquors and
cigars exceeds the pension roll. Let
those who object to contributing to pen
sions refrain from smoking and drinking.
Secretary Wilson says that money paid
in pensions goes directly into circulation
1t stimulates business and adds health
to trade. The frauds in the system are
equalled by frauds in other departments.
President Roosevelt endorses pensions to
veterans. The government, which pays
others for service it should pay it's band
of soldiers when they can no longer enter
the ranks.
The next speaker was from the Philare-
tlans on the negative and was
MISS ELIZA WOOTEN.
Miss Wooten said that the negative
proposed to show that the pension sys-
tenn of the United States is unwse; that
the emolument of the pensioner is not
bestowed for actual need, but is graded
according to official rank, and that men
with ample income are reaping bounty
Tor which the poor, as well as the rich,
are taxed; that the enormous expendi-
lures become a pretext for high tariff.
Some noticeable feature in this sys-
tenn is the extreme liberality OF
its statutes; then pensions are based
on service and Indulgence without regard
to origin; then on service only And
fourth on disability without regard to
origin or pecuniary circumstances.
Under such system dishonesty results.
1t should be abolished also because of its
because of it's enormous ex-
penditure. The United States pays more
than England and Italy combined.
1t is estimated that if the increase of
the last twenty years continues for fifty

the food is removed from their depths, the
dishes can be left standing at the back OF the
range with distinct advantage.
When time to wash them comes, they Will
be found half cleaned by the action Of the
soda and hot water. But not all the kitchen
odors are SO simple: vegetables of some sorts
are notably difficult. ct even in the case
of Onions, cabbage or turnips, there Is no
necessity for the disagreeable effects so often
found in the atmosphere. When the door OF
cabbage is strong it is almost surely because
the vegetable is being overlooked A little
care in the boiling is likely to abate the
scent to a certain degree Several hours be-
fore the vegetables are to be cooked they
should be washed and put to soak In cold
water slightly sailed. All such vegetables
should be cooked uncovered. A lid does no
good in combining the scent while 1t often
strengthens it. If bread crust, hard and
dry, is dropped into the cooking water Just

PRINCE OF WALES PEAS
Picked I'd by minneapolis Seeds
man in IL London Market, and
Now Very Popular.

New varieties of vegetables are quite
often mere accidents. The parent pea of
the famous champion of England vari-
ETY. was found quite by accident in pod
with other peas. The prince of Wales"
pea was found in the London market by
member of the firm of NOrthrup, King &
Co., seedsmen, of 2S Hennepin avenue,
Minneapolis, who recognized it's large pod,
immense productiveness, freedom from
,nildew and the peculiar quality OF hold
ing its color in the basket; and, on the
table the delicious flavor as well as the
large amount of shelled peas obtainable
from given quantity of pods.
With these qualities it is not surprising
that for the family garden people would
prefer ''Prince Of Wales" peas above
others. They last long and never fail to
give satisfaction. If you are interested
call at the store and learn what we have
to offer the people who want garden of
their own.

vegetables, as we'll as flowers, will be
given free upon application. If you cam
