WHAT TURNER HAS DONE FOR
THE PEOPLE.

A railroad organ inquiries: Where
are the records to prove that George
Turner is for the people? WHAT has he
said and done in their intereSt?'
The records may be easily found.
The history of the constitutional con-
vention of 1889 will show that the
ablest and most uncompromising
champion of the people as opposed to
the corporations was Judge Turner,
and it was through his persistent eff
forts that the most salutary provisions
of the state constitution We're adopted
after some terrific contests.
1t was Turner who secured the pro-
vision empowering the Legislature to
pass laws regulating railroad rates
and fares or to create a railway COM
mission to perform this service: it
was Turner who wrote the provision
prohibiting monOpolies in this state;
it was Turner who induced the con-
vention to adopt a clause making it
mandatory upon the Legislature to pass
"A law prohibiting the giving of free
passes to public officials or the accept
ance of the same: it was Turner who
drafted the clause prohibiting the
of railway in this state. All these pro-
visions of the fundamental law were
designed to protect the people from
the abuses, extortions and tyranny of
predatory corporations.
Ever since the admission of the state
George Turner has endeavored to in
duce successive legislatures to pass
bills prepared by himself regulating
railroad rates and fares or create a
railway commission to do this work.
A freight rate bill and a railway COM
mission bill drafted by Turner were
before the fusion Legislature of 1897
and both would have become laws had
it not been for the solid opposition of
the strong republican minority in the
state senate reinforced by three demo-
cratic senators in the service of the
railroad lobby. The Runner LaFollette
freight rate bill that was defeated by
the republican legislature of 1899 was
in fact the Turner freight rate bill of
two years before, which was introduced
IN the upper house by Senator David
Miller of this county and was there
fore, known as the Miller bill The
Tolman commission bill, defeated by
the republican legislatures of 1901 and
1903 at the dictation of the railroad
lobby, was only a modification of the
Turner commission bill of 1897.
The records of this state show that
from the admission of the state to the
Union in 1899 down to the present time
George Turner has labored unceasing-
ly in the interest of the people Be-
cause of his advocacy of popular rights
Turner always had the bitter opposi-
ton of the railroad lobby in all his
contests for seat in the United
states senate. and in the present con-
test for the governorship the corpor-
ations that nave long attempted to
usurp the government of this star, are
lined up SOlidly against him.

THE OLD TIMES,

THE OLD TIMES.
 The old times were the best times;
 they say the new are bright, But the old have more of loveliness-
 the old have more of light. The hills of God seemed closer, and the
 sun there in the skies.
 Seemed to shed greater glory on the
 old-time, dreaming eyes. Do you think that we are truer than
 our fathers were of old? That the rainbows in the tempest have
 more of grace and gold?
 Oh. the old friendo-they. were wiser
 though the new friends would Far angels, on the heights of God
 they lit the way for them! The old times were the best times; the
 old songs are the best The dear-the, tender. melodies that
 rocked the world to rest Let the critics cold and cruel. strike
 the stars from heaven again To the sweet voice of old mothers all
 the world will say Amen"
 Have you ever thought old lady or old gentleman, that the old times were certainly the best? If you have let's sure its "six to one and half dozen to the other"
 Three score, ten and seven. would not like to live the old days over
  in song and story, left to us and its our own fault if we do not make the young folks listen to and love the old songs and the old stories. The grand mothers and grandfathers of the pres ent period are not cultured in the arts of winning the admiration, affection and sympathy of their grandchildren. They must read the new fiction that their children read and induce them by lively, humorous chat and cOndensa- ton of the books they read when they were young, to read those books as well as the new literature for the new child. Make short stories of the nov els of Maria Edgeworth. Walter Scott, Dickens, Blackmore and even Thack- cry and Hawthorne. Practice the art of conversation, the art of dress for old people, the art of expression by gesture facial discipline-particula the discipline of the eyes and mouth. Learn to modulate your voices Make them flexible by practice of the vowel and consonant exercises of the Delsarte cult.
 Do not discuss the evils of the pres ent worse features of our 'up-to-d date society-particularly that of divorce |. Recite or sing or croon to them, for instance. the words of that matchless Bridal Song of Felicia Hemans.
 oh, take her, but be faithful still,
 And may the bridal VOW
 Be sacred held in after years,
 And warmly breathed as now" "Remember, 'tis no common tie.
 That binds her youthful heart,
 Iris one that only truth should weave
 And only death can part"
 Such a lesson as this is better than a sermon or lecture on the evil. It Is a song -sermonette that will sink in the heart and be cherished in the memory. It might be sung with wondrous power for good at every Sunshine wed ding. l fancy it would be more ef- fective for future good than the much hackneyed wedding marches.
 Home life is different now to what 1t was fifty or even thirty years ago. ft is no ones fault that it is so. Pop nlation then was an insignificant fac tor in human development to which it is now. We did not need children S rlubs and leagues then. We taught them at our knees the lessons of kind ness and gentleness, of politeness, re- anect for the aged and Kindness to an-

I asked if the commit tee having the bill in charge, were themselves free from the thralldom of tobacco and found that the chairman and a majority of the committee must each take his cigar from his mouth to vote against the passage of the bill, which, he did Hike a man" If there had been even a minority of women on that committee, clean mouthed and free from the stimulation of tobacco, they would have presented the unanswera- ble arguments native to the hearts of mothers, concerning the lives of young children. which would have given the bill at least a chance for its life, and brought it back to the House to be strengthened by the arguments of other women and have given the boy a chance for his life; but as it was, the bill and the boy both went down, for the want of the mother heart among the law makers.
 When it was said that the women took all the patent medicine, it was cheerfully believed and set down to them as evidence of their weakness.
 At last, proof to the contrary was furnished when the Governors and Senators consented to have their pictures set at the top of a page of Peruna advertisements to say how much benefit they had derived from in- ferior whiskey. This capitalized things.

"Credat Judaeus Apella," a satirtcal remark of Horace that means some thing like Tell 1t to the Marines" is the obituary notice of a good many statements that once passed for the truth, but concerning which the Marines, whoever they really are, will now laugh.
 Satire Is not a new weapon. The world of children in few days must be in school. The great majority of teachers are women. They hear on every hand that the only place for wo- men is where they are wife and mother, they these teachers, who in most in stances are not wives. and under many school rulings they lose their place if they marry.
 Title while ago, there was a bitter struggle about a woman's education. Splendid arguments were used to show that if she studied Latin and Greek her morals were in danger, or mathe- matics. the strain would destroy her health, or if she studied any thing ex- cept vocal music and good manners, 1t would take away all ambition to be a wife and mother.
