BOOK COVER DESIGNS BY BOYS.

Aroone the most striking examples of school work
that are to displayed at the St Louis Exposition
is a collection of eighty bound volumes of sketches

These volumes are filled with class work from
every grade, and the covers were made and deco

umes were taken by Frank H. Collins, the director
OF drawing who collected the work, TO the art
department of 'Scribner's Magazine, where the
designs were pronounced equal IN merit 10

The designs all done in water coors,
and represent fruits. vegetables. flowers plants
birds animals. ships. water scenes and country
scenes All are original in conception and execu-
ton and were made during ordinary drawing

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY

We can now look back and ponder
over what might have happened had
the democratic party met the issues
sauarely and fought them out. Had
Hearst, for instance, with his fighting
proclivities, his push, earnestness and
energy, been placed at the head of the
democratic ticket and the fight been
made all along the line against the
criminal trusts in straightforward,
well-defined and earnest manner. The
Roosevelt vote does not indicate that
the people wish to allow the trusts to
continue to rob them, it simply shows
that the anti-trus voters had no con-
fidence in the democratic party to
handle this question-on account or
its associates. They would have had
confidence in William r. Hearst and
in the party which he led. They
know that Hearst is as active, vigorous
and energetic as Roosevelt, and more
SO. and that he would have "done
things.'' Besides the American
people like fighter. This is shown
blythe LaFollette victory in Wisconsin;
the Folk victory in Missouri. Then
Hearst is popular with the rank and
file.of the American people, regardless
Of politics. They know he is no shift
er, no strad Record.

The ST. Paul Globe says now that
election is over the press can talk
about frenzied finance. We have been
talking about it for several years.
The worst bit of such finance the
country has ever experienced is en-
bodied in what is known as the Fowl
er bill, laid aside by the last congress
to await the result of election. That
bill would place the enuire revenues
of the government in the banks, In
stead Of in the federal treasury. The
banks use these monies to put in cir
culation and use the stocks of specu.
lative schemers of the trusts whose
issues of shares of stock are sold to
the public, and which in their hands
depreciates to small fraction of the
prices paid. OF real money there is
supposed to be 2O0-mlllion dollars in
the country about 81 dollars to each
individual. OF the stocks and securi-
ties of the trusts used as money there
is about 517-millions Of dollars-34 dol.
lars of such issue to each dollar they
possess for its redemption. Has the
Globe just walked up to it's danger?

Same Here.

A state committee, calling itself
democratic, by resort to dishonorable
schemes deprived the democrats Of
Illinois of proper representation at
the ST Louis convention, and that
state has given Roosevelt the unprece-
dented plurality of nearly 100000.
Democratic county officers in Du-
buque upheld the chairman of a coun-
ty convention, who by unfair rulings
deprived majority of the democrats
OF that count of fair representation
In the the last democratic state con-
yention held in Des Moines. What no
one expected possible has happened.
The republicans have'carried Dubuque
county in presidential year, and next
year republicans will perform the du
ties of the Offices now held by these
democratic county officers.
Such object lessons are valuable.
They teach all classes Of men that, the
wishes of the majority must be re-
spected. -Mancheste Democrat.

Democrats Feared Trusts.

Judge Parker simply failed to
inspire the earnest, the genuinely
democratic elements of his own party
with confidence. They did not feel
that in voting for him they would be
voting for democratic principles. And
he did not attract republicans who
are tired OF the reign of special
interests and are ready to come over
to the democracy when the democracy
has the courage to be democratic.
The democratic party has been
routed because it was afraid of the
trusts, because it preferred the 'sane,
safe and conservative" course Of
knuckling to them and begging them
for favors to the democratic course OF
fighting them.-New York American.

At the St. Louis convention the
plutocratic democrats overwhelmed
the democratic Democrats, and behold
the result. German, Hill, Cleveland
and their following among the leaders
would court the favor OF the trusts that
oppose the people, and would put no
obstacle In their path. Bryan, Hearst
and the democratic DemocratsD all
over the country would INCREASINGLY
strive to deliver the people from their
grasp and extortions.
