SENSATION MONGERS.

Des &oines Capital.
This is great country for Auctua-
ting public sentiment.
Who does not recall some Of the
scenes that were witnessed between
1893 and 1897?
During the four years referred to
there was the greatest business de-
moralization that the country had
known since the year 1857.
Men were out of employment,
banks were suspending, factories
were not only stopping, but were
stopped. The commercial enter
prises of this great land were at a
standstill.
Agriculture suffered above all
other interests; the factories being
closed, the men usually employed in
them had no money with which to
buy the products of the farm. The
farmers were suffering for the lack
of a market and mortgages on the
farms were being foreclosed.
Even bankers and money lenders
were suffering. Though interest
rates we're high, conditions made it
impossible for money to be supplied
There was a general lack of en-
ployment.
Confidence in everything had dis
appeared. Men were afraid to trust
each other. Everything was looked
upon with suspicion. Bankruptcies
were hourly occurrences. Prices OF
commodities were unstable because
The Chanute times., 1903-02-13
bankrupt stocks were going onto the

bankrupt stocks were going onto the
market with such frequency.
The fnanciers Of the old world
looked upon America as being
about at the end of her string. They
were prepared to say that every in
vestment in America was unwise and
unsafe. Our securities were sent
home for immediate collection. The
revenue received by the Govern
ment was not equal to the expendi-
lures. The Government borrowed
at high rate of interest and paid a
commission to ]. P. Morgan & Co.
and others for the sale of bonds.
Cleveland, stern and stubborn
man, was in the White House. Con-
gress was in the hands of the party
to which he belonged. However, in
Legislation there was lack of purpose
and an inability to agree upon any
intelligent line of action. Patriot
ism was swallowed up in partisan
ship. Apparently no man arose to
the requirements of the situation.
Things went from bad to worse.
The yellow journals added fuel to
the flames. People began to doubt
the perpetuity of the Government.
There were marching armies of
tramps and vagabonds under COM
mand of Coxey in the East and Kel-
ley in the West. They were leading
their commands to personally pre-
sent their petitions to Congress at
I the capitol. Every day the news
papers told of the sensational per-
formances of General Coxey in Ohio
and General Kelley in Iowa. They
marched along railway tracks and
sought to capture railway trains. In
the East trains were seized by force
and the men were carried. In the
West they were not so successful.
Des Moines was in the line of
march of General Kelley and his
fifteen hundred aen. They walked
from Council Bluffs along the Rock
Island railway line to Des Moines.
There are men yet living who made
this march with Kelley and his men.
They have never forgotten the
scenes presented. They have not
forgotten the awful night at Van
Meter, a few hours march from
Des Moines. The rain poured and
the lightning flashed. Fifteen hun
dred men lay wrapped in their blank
cts on the ground near the river.
Railway employees filled the depot.
Pinkerton detectives and newspaper
men were everywhere. Every freight
train eastward bound crashed
through the station yards without
stopping, giving no heed to the tor
pedoes placed upon the track by the
tramps as false danger signals.
These experiences and scenes ar'
long since passed away. Coxey il
in obscurity; Kelley is not remem
bered. Both are considered i'm
posters and false leaders of th'
people.
An election came, the gold stand
ard was adopted, thus assuring tn,
country of sound money; a Pro
tective Tariff was enacted, thus in
suring the manufacturer and lahore
and farmer the great American mar
ket-the greatest in the world
should be preserved for their benefit
Prosperity came. The peopl

ways and coal mines and operate
them. Our good brother. Henry
Wallace, in lecture in Kansas, has
predicted Government ownership OF
railways as the only protection
against extortion and robbery, say
ing that this is Government of
corporations, by corporations, and
for corporations, and that there is
no relief in sight except by the in
tervention of the strong hand OF the
Government, not realizing that in
some porti ms ur county
where breadstuffs a not grown the
people might demand the Govern
ment take the farms of Iowa and
Kansas in order to give the people
cheaper food.
Evidently the great masses of the
people should pray "Give US neither
poverty nor riches, inasmuch as we
are unable and unfit to stand either"
The factls, men and brethren,
that this land is in no danger. There
are always enough conservative men
to raise their voices when the fool
ishness has gone to the extreme.
This country is in no more danger
to day from James J. Hill and J.
Pierpont Morgan than it was from
Kelley and Coxey. Kelley and Cox
ey were the raw head and bloody
bones and the riot of poverty which
suggested socialism less than ten
years ago. Hill and Morgan are
the phantoms of an imagined slavery
that are driving people to socialism
at the present time.
The dangers of poverty are past;
the dangers of riches are at hand.
The country has survived the one;it
will survive the other.
Give the demagogue wide berth;
he is taking advantage of the hour;
he has been waiting for some time;
he has been loaded with speeches.
The demagogue is like the geyser in
the Yellowstone. At stated times he
must have an eruption. 1t is simply,
get out of the way and let him erupt.
Prosperity prevails everywhere.
The rich are growing richer. The
poor are growing richer. Every
man has employment. He should
take care of his money and buy a
home and live under his own vine
and fig tree. He should do his own
thinking. He should not be de-
ceived when he is told that what he
needs in his business is red-hot Eu-
ropean competition. He has had
that before.
This is a great land and must
necessarily have these ups and
downs.
But the republic will live, and
every man ought to thank God and
take courage.
The Chanute times., 1903-02-13

were along the public highways and
the rotting ties in the railroad beds
were replaced by new ones. Ihe
little section houses were torn down
and new ones were put in their
places. The railroads put up new
fences and cattle guards. The blast
ing furnaces were put into action.
The railways were the first to begin
to improve. Then the farmer began
to share IN the revival. Men were
at work and could afford to buy and
eat. The work of repairs progress
ed IN all departments for year.
Then commerce began to spit on Its
hands and the work of building new
enterprises was commenced. Pros
perity grew like the SNOWFALL OF boy
hood days. Wages began to ad-
vance. Labor unions experienced
great increases of membership, with
a consequent increase of power and
influence. Manufacturers met them
half way, and wages were advanc-
ed. During the first year OF EN-
ployment the re-employed wage
Garner did not spend his money tree
ly, but as time passed his confidence
grew and he began to buy with
liberal hand for himself and his fam
ily. All classes became liberal
spenders of money.
Then came the evils of specula-
ton. James Hill, being able to
see further ahead than others, reall-
zed that there were not railroads
enough in the United States to carry
the freight that good times had pro-
duced, sought to buy and control
three great railway lines in theNorth-
west. J. Pierpont Morgan began his
career in the same line. On stock
and bond exchanges people lost
their heads and the country became
generally alarmed for fear this great
land of SO, 900, 900 free people were
to be gobbled up and controlled by
a handful of millionaires and mag
mates. The alarm of poverty which
some people thought endangered
the republic was out of the way
scarcely three years until the alarm
of riches came into view.
Then came the coal strike, and
the action of the President, prac-
tically ordering an arbitration,
which the operators reluctantly &C
cepted. Then followed the scarcity
of coal and the cold winter. Then
came the greed of coal operators,
railroads and coal dealers.
And now we are where people
have again lost their heads. There
are those who look out of the upper
windows and once more look upon
the tragedy which they think will
end this free republic. Sensation
mongers in Congress and on the
stump have caught the popular cal
and are in the center of the stage.
They are playing 10 packed houses,
in fact to standing room ouly. The
demagogue is shaking his mane.
The spirit of socialism is rampant
even as it was in the days of Kelley
and Coxey. The ruin of poverty
brought it IN one instance; the ruin
of riches brings in another. Some
how people are figuring out that tht
average man is not going to be in it,
though there is more work than evel
to do and better places and bettel
wages are beng offered.
1t is proposed in Congress to in
ouire whether or not this Govern
ment has the authority to seize rail

LAUNDERING TABLE LINEN.

In this age of pretty things for the
home, there is nothing in which the
good housekeeper takes more pride
than her table linen. Get a good
quality of damask for tablecloths, for
it will last long time, and be more
economical in the end than a coarse
piece. When tiny breaks occur, draw
threads from a piece of new linen,
thread a needle with them, and darn
the place carefully. 1t is better to
do this before the cloth is laundered,
as the washing is likely to fray the
edges.
When fringed napkins or doilies
are used the fringe becomes uneven
and ragged looking, while the linen
is still good. Cut the fringe off and
hem them all around.
Remove fruit stains fro m linen
by dampening the spots rub soap on
both sides, then apply starch made
into a paste with cold water. Rub
the starch into the stains and hang
the cloth in the sunshine for several
hours. After it is washed in the or
binary way the stains will disappear.
The most expensive linen and the
llandsomest embroidered doilies are
often ruined by careless washing.
Have laundry bag hung in con-
venient place, and as fast as the soil
ed linen accumulates put the pieces
in it. Prepare a suds of soft warm
water and good soap, and add little
powdered borax to it. Wash through
this, rubbing lightly between the
hands. If the linen is plain, without
embroidery of any kind, it may be
put in clean suds and scalded few
minutes. If it is embroidered, wash
through two waters, then dip in blue
water to which a very little boiled
starch has been added, and dry in
the shade. Nothing cleanses the
linen so nicely, without injuring the
most delicate colors, as borax, and it
should always be used in the water.
When it is dry, dampen and roll it up,
wrap a clean cloth around it, and
leave it until it is ready to iron.

CUR1osrr1Es OF SOUND.

In very high or mountainous re-
gions sounds becomes diminished in
loudness, so that a conversation can
not be carried on in an ordinary tone
of voice. In mines or in diving bell
the reverse of this is the case. Speech
becomes so startling that it must be
carried on in whispers to be at all en-
durable to the ear. Sounds of all
kinds become musical if the vibrations
of air are uniform and rapid enough.
1t is said that the puffs of an engine
would make tremendous organ peal
of music if they could be made to at
tain the rapidity of so or 90 second.
Everything in nature has its keynote,
as it were, and attuned to one partic-
ular musical sound. This fact can
be very easily verified in everyday
life. Stand near an open piano and
speak in an ordinary tone; while
speaking you will suddenly hear a
string within reverberate to your
voice. The click of a watch, the
sound of every human voice, the
bark of dog, the new of cat, the
noise of a wagon. the roll of thunder,
the fall of rain, the running of water /;
in fact, everything about us can cas-
lily be placed by an attentive ear on
its proper musical note-one of the
sounds of the scale. This is a most
interesting experiment, and easily
verified.

THE KITCHEN CORN POP.

Oh those cherished recollections of the days of
long ago,
How they seem to fill feller full o. thrill from
head to toe
Seem to permeate his bein' with jingle o. de-
light,
Till the songs jes, come bubblin' from his heart
as waters bright.
Oh the frolics an the revels o. that rural life SO
gay,
When you had your girl beside you snuggled in
the fyin' sleigh
When the wimmen done the Quiltin' an the
young folks shucked the corn.
While the laughter shuck the cobwebs from the
rafters o. the barn.
Then jes' think of the delight,
On a snappy winter night
Never saw such jolly times since you was born
In your go to-meetings dressed,
With the gal you loved the best
Settin' in the OF farm kitchen poppin' corn.
There was pleasure in the parties when the boys
an gals d meet
Fur to play the kissin' games, an later on with
husky feet
Dance upon the OIL oak puncheons, feelin' like
they was on wings,
While the iddler's bow was dancin' on the agita-
ted strings.
There was fun in trampin' homeward from the
spellin' school at night.
On your arm somethin' hangin' that jes' thrilled
you with delight
that 5r pa By higher than the
Purity little rustic jewel hid In calico an things
But you've never seen joy.
Nor you never will, oil boy,
Till the Angel Gabriel tOots the inal horn,
That could ekal talkin' love
To your little country dove
While a-settin' in the kitchen poppin' corn.

THE CHILDREN WE KEEP.

The children kept coming. one by one.
Till the boys were flve and the girls were Lnree
And the big brown house was alive with fun
From the basement floor TO the old roof tree.
Like garden flowers the little ones grew,
Nurtured and trained with the tenderest care
warmed by loves sunshine, bathed In the dew,
They blossomed in beauty. like roses rare.
But one of the boys grew weary one day,
And leaning his head on his mothers breast,
He said. II am tired and cannot play;
Let me sit awhile on your knee and rest"
She Graded him close in her fond embrace,
She hushed him to sleep with her sweetest song
And rapturous love still lighted his face
When his spirit had joined the heavenly throng
Then the eldest girl, with her thoughtful eyes,
Who stood where "the brook and the rivel
meet"
Stole softly away into Paradise
Ere "the river" had reached her slender feet.
While the fathers eyes on the grave are bent.
The mother looked upward beyond the skies /:
"Our treasures" she whispered. Were only lent
Our darlings were angels in earth's Disguise y
The years flew by and the children began
With longing to think of the world outside;
And as each, in his turn, became man,
The boys proudly went from the fathers SIDE
The girls were women so gentle and fair
That lovers were speedy to WOO and win;
And with orange blossoms In braided hair.
The old home was left, new home TO begin.
So. one by one. the children have gone
And the big brown house Is gloomy and lone,
With but two old folks for its company.
They talk to each other about the past
AS they sit together In eventide,
And say, "All the children we keep at last
Are the boy and the girl who in childhood died. '

VARIOUS WATER CURES.

Hot water applications, dose and
treatments sometimes, and at other
times those Of cold water, have prob
ana little, tnan any other known rem
sedy. Who that has ever had bad
siege of indigestion does not know the
efficacy of cup of hot water every
morning upon rising? Cases of this
kind that have stood out against other
treatments have yielded to this simple
remedy in marvelously short time.
The famous Salisbury treatment is
half water treatment. The patient
takes a pint of hot water in the morn
ing an hour before breakfast anorh-
er pint at 1890; another at 3 or d
O'Clock, and the last pint two hours
after dinner. Salisbury patients are
not particularly happy people during
the treatment, but it is said to have
worked wonderful cures.
Nothing relieves the pain of an
aching tooth or sudden twinge of
neuralgia quicker than hot water ap-
plication to the suffering part. A
headache is often taken entirely away
by pressing a towel or flannel that
has been wrung out of hot water at
the back of the neck, and another
wrapped around the feet. The heat
and the steam have magical effect.
The hot water rubber bag fills in a
modified way the requirements.
Where heat alone is sufficient it can
not be excelled. No steam, of course,
is possible from the use of the bag.
Cold water treatments are probably
not so numerous as are those of hot
water, but they nevertheless have
some place in the subject of water
cureS.

ABOUT wATERCREss.

1t is good helper of digestion. 1t
IS an appetizer, and stimulant some
what on the order of mustard.
1t iron be deficient in the red cor
puscles of the blood, then paleness of
face and an9mia will result. To the
rescue comes the watercress, which
has sucked up atomic articles of iron
from the waters i'll which its rapid
growth was made. Only spinach, of
all green plants, contains more iron
suspended in its juices than does the
useful watercress.
The blood is not acid, but alkaline.
When it becomes acid it is out of
health, and tries to throw out the
acids it does not want. Then the
whole wonderful fabric of the skin
suffers. Roughness comes upon the
delicate sides of the sweat channels,
blotchiness, spots and small inham-
nations follow. The skin, in fact, is
In uioOl cSI.
Acids in the green food have the
power to counteract acids in the
blood. Like conscious agent the
body knows this, and the appetite
cries for such green food. Water
cress holds many acids, formed by
the union of its different salts. In
tiny particles this green food holds
portions of the eight different miner
ais required by the body and these
saline atoms make chemical combina-
tions that are most healthful.
So when watercress is eaten the
skin is relieved from the out-throwing
of the irritating acids that were COM
ing through its channels. Then
blotchiness. pimples, irritable spots
all depart. One secret of keeping a
good complexion lies in eating tender
watercress grown in fair waters.
Many reject watercress on account
of its harboring the eggs of nevis
and frogs in cunning hiding places
in crevices of its leaves and stalks,
such eggs being so minute and so at
tached to the greenery by their gum
my nature that it is impossible to dis
lodge them even after many wash
ings.
This objection only applies to wat
ercress grown in sluggish streams
where such eggs may be swept into
the plant. AS the growth requires
swift stream in order to do we'll and
elaborate itself speedily, tender water
cress is pretty sure to have come from
a good stream. So the tenderness of
the plant is test of its having grown
in good water. Salt will eject and
loosen all eggs, however, if there is
any suspicion of their being present.
Washing in salt water in any case
should not be omitted, as it adds to
the edibility of the watercress.
