AS see it., this is the only way to
unite all reform elements unite
they must. We are wasting golden
years in fruitless struggle in little,
discOrdant factions. Let this cease:
let US unite-if not on just such terms
as we prefer, then let's adopt the
course and policy which the majority
may make out.
1t was to accomplish this result that
the Allied party was formed at Kansas
City and Louisville; but, owing to per-
sonal jealousies and general misun-
derstanding of the movement, and per-
haps more than anything else, to
lingering hope that fusion might still
live or that the democratic party
might yet be saved from the plutoc-
racy, the Allied party did not unite
the factions it was designed to unite.
So say, let US try it again. Leader
ship, honors, emoluments, are moth
ing to US. What we want is TO unite
those who are opposed to Industrial
slavery in q mighty, effective move
ment, and to do it all patriotic per-
sons must be willing to meet on that
broad ground where others rights
and views are to be given fair con-
sideration.
am moved to lay this proposition
before the different reform elements of
the country, and ask the concurrence
of those in command. Does the fu-
sion committee want to unite for aq-
gressive and effective action? Then
let US hear from you. Do the social
lists want to unite the socialist thought
of this country? Then let US hear from
you. Do the progressive democrats
who cannot but see defeat in their
next convention, want to advance their
principles rather than themselves?
Then let US hear from you. I think I
know the Allied Peoples party, the
old mid-roaders, we'll enough to say
that they are ready and willing to en-
ter heart and soul in any real move
ment to unite all elements to oppose
the plutocracy-and we are not so par
ticular how it is done, but we are de-
termined that it shall be done.
Resp sctfully,
10 A. PARKER,
Chairman Allied Peoples Party Ma
tiOnal Executive Committee.

Hopes TO Sea Something Done.


1t is to be hoped that the agitation
in the legislature for state sanitari-
um for consumptives may result in
something tangible. Thousands upon
thousands of dollars are being spent
in handling and preventing the itch
and pimples imported from Cuba and
the Philippines, from which hardly
anybody has ever died, while not a
straw is turned to help save the thous-
ands of victims who annually die in
our state rom the dreaded malady,
consumption. Let some of the state $
money, at least. be used in doing
something that requires doing.-Ano-

A county option law would settle q
troublesome question in most of the
counties of the state. And if such q
law is not passed this spring, it will
be because the whiskey power con-
trolls the republican party of Minneso-
ia. Now let the good temperance
republicans maze their influence felt
on every legislator whom they helped
to elect.

the purpose of getting these wrongs
righted in q legal manner. F.r every
danger the populists prophesied thew
offered q means of escaping it. That
is the difference between an agitator
and a reformer. The former aims to
to tear down without having any su&
gestions as to what is to be put in
place of the destroyed system; the
latter aims to remodel things so as to
make them better for every body.
1t is rather late in the day for pa
pers like the Dispatch to begin howl
ing shout the power and arrogance of
the rich. Where have those rich men
obtained their power to Cypress the
people but from legislation passed by
the party that the Dispatch has always
held up as the only real friend of the
people? Every monopoly has grown
up under republican laws administered
by republican officials. For over ten
years the populists have been pointing
out the dangers of special privileges
to corporations. The Dispatch has
been among the most virulent calumn-
iators of the watcbmen on the wall.
It has denounced them time and again
for giving warning of approaching
danger. 1t is rather doubtful whether
it would now be so ready to denounce
the rich but for the fact that the peo-
pie have been squeezed so hard by the
coal combine that they have been be-
gun to think most seriously of these
matters, and the Dispatch wants to
curry favor with the people by pre-
tending to be on their side. The dan
ger from monopoly ought to have
been plain to any thinking man for
many years. It's encroachments upon
popular rights have been gradual and
steady for nearly q generation. Yet
as long as these papers could make
the people feel safe they we're willing
to let the thing 60 on, and to cry down
anyone who tried to interfere with
them. Now it joins in the popular cry
as loudly as anyone, but it has no
remedy to offer, no suggestions as to
what to do to mitigate the present suf-
fering or prevent its recurrence.
Thocoa combine could have brought
on the present situation years ago if
the labor organization had been
strong enough to keep up a strike
long enough. The combinations of
capital have forced the laborers to
combine for their own protection.
One is a necessary result of the other.
But between these upper and neither
millstones the. great mass of the peo-
pie, who belong to neither, have been
ground, and they will be again and
again, unless they remove the cause.
But merely railing against the rich
will not help. Instead Of appealing to
the passions of people there should be
calm and dispassionate effort to
reach their intelligence, to make them
realize not only their wrongs but the
necessity OF forever ezding those
wrongs il a just and legal way. Rail-
ing against Baer might induce some
unbalanced mind to conceive the idea
of removing him from the land of the
living, but that would not remedy the
evil. There are thousands of Baers
in every walk of life; men who will
misuse power when it is placed in
their hands. We cannot root out the
breed, but we can remove their oppor-
tunity of getting the power to rob the
people.

JOINT RAIDBD
Sid Mcclung Arrested, His
Booze and Cards Confscated.

Deputy Sheriff's Visited Place on Bum
BIO Lane at Midnight Saturday
Found only the Proprietor-Kept
lots OF Things for his own Amuse
ment.
Deputy Sheriff d. G. Core and half
a-dozen assistants raided what was
thought to be booze and poker joint
Saturday night. sid McClung was ar
rested as the keeper OF the place, and is
now in jail to await hearing. Nc one
else was found in the room, and 1t is
thought the men who bad patronized
the joint had got wind of the proposed
raid aud made themselves scarce.
The "joint" was run in small
building in the rear of Rice's residence
on Bumbo Lane. Deputy sheriffs
Gore, Demoss, and Robinson, OF Bat
telle district, with some members of
the city police force and a number OF
men who went along to see the fun,
entered the house about midnight
Saturday They found McClung
asleep, Ut pretending W NC.
A search was made and two jugs
full Of whiskey, several. jugs partly
empty, two barrels OF empty beer bot
ties, evidently prepared to ship back,
a jug OF butter milk, some pint bottles
OF whiskey, peck or two Of poker
chips and dozen or more ragged decks
OF cards were found. These were con.
fiscated and McClung was placed in
Jail.
The man under arrest is 10 OF -
years Of age and is plasterer by
trade. 1t is said there are two or
three witnesses against him whose
evidence will be sufficient to hold him
for the tender mereies of the grand
jury.
This is following up the example
set 10 the raid some time ago on Con-
ley aud Falls place, and it is said to
be the intention of the officers to raid
several other places, where it is sup
posed booze is sold and The great
gambling game is played.
McClung claimed when arrested that
the booze was for his own private use,
aud the cards and chips for his own
amusement. He will probably have
an opportunity of proving this at the
October term of court,

100 Years Old.

Aunt Phyllias Jefferson, an old
eolored woman who is known TO
nearly everybody in town, died at
the home of her daughter, the widow
of Preston Hedrix, about six O'clock

100 years old, as far as can be
learned, and for all that any one
knows, might have been considerably
older. She came here many years
ago. The funeral will be held to-

Becoming Frequent.
WAsHINGToN, Oct. 5-An-
other attempt was made on
the life of President Roosevelt
this morning. A man who is
identified as Peter Elliot, of
Milwaukee, called at the
White House. and demanded
to see the President. He
was refused by one of the
doorkeepers and a terrible
fight ensued.
Elliott used a knife on the
guard. who retorted in kind,
and both men were fatally
wounded. They have been
placed in hospitals and it is
thought that Elliott will not
recover.
When searched a big gun
was found on his person. He
is thought to have been in
sane and the impression is
general here that he meant to
kill the President. Many
other attempts have been
made recently on the Presi-
dents life by cranks and crazy
people, but these are for the

The question Of bridge across the

chances are that new bridge will
have to take its place.
A proposition will be made to the
county by the trolley company to pay.

return for the right to place the trolley
line on it.
1t was thought that the M. & K.
would also want to use the bridge
but this has been found to be imprac.

Mackey's mill and coming out down
