When Will People Get Tired?

Alex. Miller, of the Washington Dem
ocrat, gets off the following sensible ar
ticle on the tendency of the times, and
wants to know when the people will
get tired of it:
when one sees the manipulation of
our markets and when it is known that
they are being controlled for the bene-
fit of few sharks and skinflints, the
wonder grows if people will ever grow
tired of the trusts, rampant in this
country.
Farmers are wondering why hogs
and cattle are going down day by day.
The prices are falling, and yet mess
pork is about as high as ever, and pack
ing house meats of all kinds are high as
cats back, as the shippers say.
people have right to wonder, Is
it possible that the people will stand it,
to have a set of men control, absolutely,
the prices they have to pay? If there
is legitimate reason for low prices,
why does not the price of the finished
product go down?
''The Standard Oil Co., the curse11of
the country, controls as surely the price
of crude and refined oil as the stars
shine at night John D. Rockefeller
rules the markets as surely as the mag
net follows the pole. And we sit idly
by and envy the old son-of-a-gun his
riches. 1t is disgraceful. Just think
that an old hound like Rockefeller can
take the products that a bountiful
providence has put there for his chill
dren, then for greedy individual to be
allowed to manipulate it, why it is
scandalous.
"And then this old baron robber
thinks to appease an offended God by
building up a big college. Do you think
such school ought to prosper? Do
you think it will ever have the standing
Of Yale or of Harvard or of Princeton or
of Ann Arbor or of our own University?
ut is no credit to be graduate of
such an old pirates school, and if a
boy were looking for place to go we
would advise him to everlastingly fight
shy of Rockfellers old oil school.
Will the people stand it forever?
Sometimes it looks as if they liked to
be swindled and to be held under the
thumb of the rich and nasty.
They seem to like to be skinned, SO
it is done scientifically, and the trusts
can do that, sure enough. Will they
continue to stand it?"

An Old-Fashloned Party.


In one of the towns Of central Missouri i
the other day seventy prominent ladies
gave an old-style quilting party, says
the st. Louis Globe Democrat, in which
the proceedings closely followed an
afternoon entertainment of former days
in manners, dress, ornaments, and the
main business in hand, which was, Of
course, the evolution of quilt by a
quadrangle of skillful sewers and ami
mated takers. A dinner was served
with the old hearty hospitality and all
present declared that pink tea is
tame, indeed, compared with quilting
of the pioneers. In this fashion the
women of fifty years ago enjoyed them
selves, carrying on club system with
out knowing it, and gratifying the art
instinct which is part of feminine
nature. All the flowers of the field and
stars Of the armament have entered
into the making of quilts; geometry
has been ransacked for designs, and
every discoverable tint has been en-
ployed in innumerable quilting combi-
nations. Quilts were the tapestries of
the pioneer mothers as we'll as their
chief social Commemorative magnet. A
fine quilt is beautiful, and it is useful.
1t smacks of home and family gather
ed around an open country fireplace.
The quilt in log cabin is what armor
is in baronial hall, quite as interest
ing in it's way, but of better import in
the proportion that the kindly equip
ment of peace is superior to the para
phernalia of war.
For pleasurable, friendly excitement,
the flow of pleasant converse, the flash
of wit and the glow of sympathetic
neighborliness, the old-time quilting
never had an equal. The arrangement of
guests, facing each other squarely, was
more inspiring than the curves at
Arthur's table. The knights could think
of nothing better than to drink. The
quilting party piled the shining needle
and added to the household comfort and
comeliness. No man could possibly fit
into a quilting party. Though the
sewers would not pause to point their
needles at him in Jenny Wren style,
they asserted the sense of being in
their own sovereign domain, and, if wise,
he beat retreat without trying to
dazzle in repartee. Within their own
circle the company quietly noted each
others degree of skill in making the
stitches that brought out the all-im-
portant pattern, and many maiden
was shamed into learning to sew we'll
by watching the experts as their little
stilettos of industry glanced back and
forth with unerring swiftness and deft-
ness.
| There are grander entertainments in
these days, but none more enjoyable
than the quilting parties of half CEN
fury ago. The majestic old forests that
furnished the background of happy
afternoons have receded. Millionaires
have taken the place of the local mag
nate with good farm and several thou
sand dollars in the bank. Women have
many organizations and forms of social
gathering. Yet nothing remains that
quite fills the place of the quilting
party. The women who wrought them
in joyous sincerity helped to lay the
foundations of the worlds greatest

remedy acted as a most agreeable sur

it for such purpose, but it did, and it

Bryan's Paper

The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's paper,
will be especially interesting and instruct
i've during the present session of congress.
The action of this congress will probably
determine the issues upon which the next
presidential campaign will be fought.
The commoner proposes to carry on a
campa, gn of education and organization
to the end that Democratic principles
may triumph.
In addition to the editorial depart
ment, which receives Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal attention, The Commoner con-
tains Current Topic department,
wherein non-partison discussion OF
topics of timely interest and other valu-
able information will be found. The
Home Department is conducted by an
experienced woman who is widely known
as a writer of household topics and who
is an authority on the art of cooking in
all that the term implies. This depart
ment alone is worth the subscription
PAIGE. The other departments OF the
paper arc all interesting and ably con-
Quoted among which is summary of
the worlds news told in narrative style,
and Mr. Maupin's Observation-Disclosures
Common or Not-contains original an
ecdotes and wit, moral lessons in homely
phrase and verse, and appcalsto old and
young alike.
The commoner as whole is clean, en-
Pertaining and instructive, and its rapid
increase in circulation-now amounting
to 140,000-is proof of the papers
strength and influence.
Arrangements have been made with
Mr.. Bryan whereby The Commoner can
be supplied at very low rate with the
AGITAToR both papers for one year for
$1.65. This applies to both new and
renewal subscriptions, and should be
taken advantage of without delay. All
orders should be sent to this office.
