WATSON IN SOUTH.
populist Candidate Arraisns the De-
mocrdcy.

Thomas E. Watson, popullst canal
date for president, delivered an ADDRESS
to great crowd of people assembled
from the surrounding country at Hous-
ton. Texas, Sept. %, several excursions
being run. Mr.. Watson said:
"If our campaign hurts the demo-
Gratis most this year that is not our
fault. 1t is the fault of Jones and all
the others who sold out the principles
of democracy to Wall street at St.
Louis. Had Senator Jones and his crowd
re-adopted the Omaha platform OF
something similar, and then nomlnaVeu
some real democrat as Hearst or Bryan
the peoples party could not have done
business in 1904 at all. 1t is the as
founding betrayal of democratic prIn-
ciples by Jones, Hill and company
which gave the peoples party the OPP
portunity to renew the fight for Jetfer-
sonian democracy.
Inasmuch as we are now advocating
the same principles which Bryan dem
Gratis advocated for eight years, II
seems a little hard that we should be
abused as assistant republicans. II
ANYBODY sold out, it would be reasona
BILE to suppose that it was the GROVE
who dropped their principles. We have
not dropped ours. In my opinion Parke'
is going to be one of the worst beatei
men in political history for the reason
that he stands for nothing. He doe
not even pretend to have any principles
That such man can be elected is al
impossibility. Lewiston Tribune.

COL. BRYAN'S OPINION
OF the Democratic Candidate and His
Platform.

Speaking of the democratic platform
and the democratic candidate for pres
ident, Mr. Bryan says
at would mean that those who at
tempted to reach the White House, If
Parker were elected, would have to
wade through peanut shells knee deep.
"My objection to Judge Parker is that
he goes before the country on coward
" and straddling platform that can only
appeal to towards and straddlers. l
object to loaded dice"
eve are opposed to the burglarous
methods which are now being employed
to foist upon the party a speeches.
candidate and a meaningless platform. "
"The influence back of the Parker
candidacy are so intimately associated
with trusts and great corporations that
the democratic party could not appeal
to the masses.
"a man who is weak enough to put
his candidacy in their (Hill's and Bel
mont's) hands before the convention
would not be strong enough to resist
their influence after election, if he were
by any possibility successful"
with such a candidate the battle
would begin with foot race and end
with a rout.
cit would have been manlier if Judge
Parker had stated his position before
the convention met It would have
been more manly if he had stated his
position while the convention was In
session"
"The plutocratic element for the time
being is in control of the democratic
party"
"The nomination of Judge Parker
virtually nullifes the antitrust plank.

Mr.. Cooling expressed his opinion OF
the eight-hour law for underground
miners in unmistakabie terms in his
speech at Pearl last Thursday evening,
and his utterances met the appreciation
of his audience. He told the miners OF
that place that for years he bad earned
his living by manual labor and that he
was in cordial sympathy with those who
toll. He told them that no act of his,
official or private, would ever be regis
tered in opposition to their best inter-
ests. He said that should Legislature
pass an eight-hour law he would, If
governor, gladly sign it.
Of course he will, and that law viii
be passed by Republican Legislature
and signed by a Republican Governor
The Dubois orators have attempted tt
make considerable capital of the eight
hour question but their efforts fall de
cidedly flat in the light of Mr.. Good
ings positive statements. Further com
ment is unnecessary. Eagle, Meadows

Are Our Women Fools?

AS has been anticipated, an effort to
stampede the woman vote of the state
to the Dubois Democratic ticket is being
made as a last resort of this tottering
cause. 1t will be unsuccessful because
the women of Idaho possess a large de-
gree of political sagacity and can detect
a fraud quite as readily as anyone.
Appeals are made to them directly,
by circular letters; by imported female
stump speakers, and by various other
means. Meetings "for women only
are being held, addressed by these hired
speakers from other states, there sole
theme being a denunciation of one re-
ligious sect-not particularly prominent
in politics or otherwise their entire
argument confined to indefinite refer
ence to conditions alleged to have ex-
isted in by-gone epoch.
Do those imported speakers hope t
convince the women of Idaho that theil
own husbands and fathers and sons are
so wanting in the very Fundamental
principle of morality that they mus

How Morgan Lost $4,000.

]. Pierpont Morgan went down
to the pier TO meet a friend who had
been abroad for nearly a year. It
developed that this passenger had
made purchases for Mr.. Morgan to
the amount Of several thousands of
dollars, and the customs duties
were a little over $500. Like Mr..
Carnegie, Mr.. Morgan is always
broke. He never has more than $40
with him at one time, Despite his
previous experiences with the Gus
toms officials he tndered a check fof
the amount of the duty and it was
refused. The official could do moth
ing else. as checks are not received
Tor customs. Then Mr. Morgan
sent a clerk down t. his Office for
tie money. After a wait Of exactly
iftv-fve minutes the clerk returned
with the money and the property
was released. Air. Morgan told an
Englishman that his time was worth
81 600 a minute, ard the delay at
the pier, therefore. cost him $4,000,
as ne was unable to do any business
while waiting on the slow-grinding
but memorable mill of Uncle Sam.
The story of Alorgan's $I,oOo-a-
minute time came in the boat which
bore his friend 10 this port. 1t ap-
pears that an English journalist
with more than tie native entrprise
sought an interviw with the hnan
cier. His card was returned with
the verbal message Mr.. Morgan
says that his time is worth 1000
minute, and he cannot afford to
waste it. The Britisher therupon
drew some pound notes from his
pocketbook and sent It back to Mr..
Morgan with the note: Enclosed
payment for three minutes of your
time. F" Morgan liked the joke SO
we'll that he took the scribe in and
gave him good round talk, return
ing tbs money when he had finished.

Although there IS no japanese
quarter in New York, Consul
General Uchida estimates that as
many as 1900 of his countrymen
find employment and homes in
Greater New York. Some OF these
are cooks and some are lawyers,
some are humble artisans and
others are samurai and men OF
power and culture. In the various

call to colors had been issued
some twenty OF Japan's naval re-

a group remarked: Il was swim

Belmont Often Photoaraphed.

Among rich Americans perhaps
none is 50 fond OF being photo
graphed as August Belmont, James
R. Keene being a close second. One
New York photographer, whose
patrons are mostly wealthy men, has
made thousands Of negatives fof
Mr.. Belmont in the last few years.
One of the largest single orders for
prints from old negatives ever re
ceived by this photographer came
from Mr.. Belmont himself soon al
ter the death of his wife. It in
cluded good print from every neg
alive in which Mrs. Belmont ap-
peared. The photographer never
guessed how many photographs he
had taken for Belmont till then; he
found that they numbered nearly q
thousand.
