I want to defeat the military idea
Friends of the south. are you trying to
defeat the military idea? Let me tell
you that not one of You, north, east or
south. more fears the triumph of that
idea than / do. If this is the doctrine
that our nation is to stand for, ii is ret
repression, not progress; it is the low
ering of the ideals of the nation; it is
turning backward to the age of force.
More than that, it is a challenge to the
christian civilization of the world and
nothing else.
Twenty-seven hundred years ago a
prophet foretold the coming of one who
was to be called the Prince of Peace.
Two thousand years ago he come upon
the earth and the song that was sung
at his birth was peace on earth, good
will toward men, For 1000 years
this doctrine of peace has been grow
ing. 1t has been taking hold upon the
hearts of men. For this doctrine of
peace millions have given their lives.
For this doctrine of peace thousands
have crossed oceans and given their
lives among savage tribes and among
foreign nations. This doctrine of
DtdNts IIt IOunbdltOH VI CilIlSlldn CIV
ilization has been the growing hope of
the world.
And now, the ex-governor of the
greatest state of the nation presents
for the Office of president of the great
est republic of all history, man who
is granite and iron.
But. my friends. if failed with six
millions and a half to defeat the re-
publican party. can those who defeated
me succeed in defeating the republican
party? If under the leadership of those
who were loyal in 1896 we failed, shall
we succeed under the leadership of
those who were not loyal in 1896?
If we are going to have some other
god beside this war god that is pre-
scented to us by Gov. Black. what kind
of a god is it to be?
Wnr or Gold.
Must we choose between a god of
war and a god of gold? Is there no
choice between them? If there is any
thing that compares in hatefulness
with militarism it is plutOcracy, and |
insist that the democratic party ought
not to be compelled to choose between
militarism on one side and plutocracy
on the other side.
We came here and agreed upon a
platform. We were in session sixteen
hours last night, if you can put sixteen
hours into night. We entered the
committee room at S last evening and
left it at II today. But, my friends,
never spent sixteen hours to better
purpose in my life, because
[ helped to bring the party together,
so we could have a unanimous plat
form to go before the country on in
this campaign.
How did we get it? 1t was not all

ed. We had to surrender some things

that war, that cruel war, was fought 40
years ago. It's issues are settled; it's
wounds are healed. The participants
are friends. We have got another war
on now, and those who know what the
war between plutocracy and democ-

stood 40 years ago; they will ask,
where does he stand today in this war?
Issue OF the Day.
Ny friends, / believe that the great
issue in this country today is plutoc-
racy versus democracy. You have said
that | have just one idea. the silver
idea. Well while back they said
only had one. but then il was the tariff
idea. There is an issue greater than
the silver issue, the tariff issue. the
trust issue. 1t is the issue between
plutocracy and democracy; whether
this is to be a government of the peO-
pie. by the people and for the people.
ny CIbotil ny tuC
people, administered in behalf of the
people. 1t is either this or it is to be
a rule of the moneyed element of the
country for their own interests alone.
The issue has been growing. I want
you as democrats here assembled to
help us meet this question.
You tell me the republican Candi-
date stands for militarism. Yes. but
he also stands for plutocracy. You tell
me he delights in war. Yes, but there
is another objection to him, and that is
that he does not enforce the law
against a big criminal as he does
against little criminal. Laws are be
ing violated today. and these laws
must be enforced. The people must
understand that we are to have equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none.

elections. II was stated the other day

than the box that holds II, "a or 36

strawberry crates are quite often in poor
shape when receivedy as the weight Is
too much for such frail packages. Sec

with the ends all ready to nail together,
is the cheapest in the end, as the poul-

more.

kerchief is then laid over the plain one
and the two are stitched together on
the line of the hem. Ribbon bows ara
attached to each of the four corners
and ribbon hanger to the edge at the
opening with full bows at each end.
Another equally charming gift that
can be made from handkerchiefs is the
bureau cover. For this three or four
are required, according to size, and
they can be as simple or elaborate as
desired. White embroidered kerchiefs
are always dainty, but there are alca
many novelties in color that can be
utilized with good effect. But to get
the best results, the lodges should be
plain.
Whatever the number and whatever
the style, each handkerchief should
have lace insertion at the ends, and
then all be joined together to form !,
strip by means of beading. Around
the entire edge of the cover is a friil
OF lace, which forms finish.
A still further decorative effect can
be gained by threading all the beading
with colored ribbon, terminating in
bows of many loops. Fine plain hand
kerchiefs with embroidery of small
flowers in color are exceedingly dainty
and attractive. and many other varia-
tions can be made.-Kansas City Star.

eEEKEEPlNc FOR THE BOYS.
Work That Affords Much Gain and
Causes Much Pleasure to Those
'r~ Engaged in It.

To the painstaking boy with small
capital and little spare time there are
few localities in which bee-keeping will
not only bring profitable returns but
much pleasure. The popular notion that
the bee goes about like roaring lion
seeking whom it may devour is entirely
raise. In fact, it seldom stings unless
hurt or its stores are molested; then it
naturally uses it's only means of self
defense. The successful bee-keeper
dons his veil and keeps cool no matter
how many bees alight upon him. Hon.
ey on the hands will often so tickle the
palate OF very mad bee that it forgets
TO sting and goes to eating the sweets.
II stung, brush the sting away instead
OF picking it out; the latter method
presses the poison into the flesh. Am
monla or onions applied to the wound
are standard remedies; but neither
must be used until through working
with the bees, as they serve to enrage
the insects. Hundreds of pounds of
honey go to waste annually in some
localities because there are no CLEAN
ers. Where clover, Eastwood, fruit bios
SONS, bucllwheat, golden-rod, or other
honey plants abound, few swarms of
bees will accomplish much with very lit
tie trouble. Even in village few may

will prove in the end more profitable
than the mOngrels for sale cheap" in
almost any community. A good book or
periodical on the subject is great as
sistant to the beginner, though not an
absolute necessity. One or two swarms
are enough to commence with. These,
II rightly handled, will supply an or
binary family with honey and yield
little surplus. With a year or two of ex-
perience one can learn the extent Of pas

ORNAMENT YOUR OWN LAMP
A Dainty Bit Of China Decorating
Which Can Be Kept in Evidence
the Year Around,

One Of the most satisfactory objects
for the china decorator to expend her
labor upon is porcelain vase to serve
as the foundation of parlor lamp.
This is something which, unlike the
decorated punch bowl or soup tureen,
is constantly in use and in evidence.
1t is something thoroughly worth
while, and for which a somewhat dis
proportionate price is usually paid in
the shops.
The motive we give for the decora-
ton of a porcelain lamp vase may, If
desired, be easily adapted to taller
vase by frightening the fower-stalks.

cenia) is we'll known with US under its
various names Of the pitcher plant,
