Luther M. Barrick, expert account
ant, who was appointed to audit the
books and accounts of the Stark county
workhouse for the past year, has COM
pleted his report and filed the same
with the board of directors. II shows
that the annual cost of maintaining
the institution for the year was s6,S42
over and above it's earnings, which was
about 81 cents day or each prisoner,
which is estimated to be less than they
could be maintained at the county
jail. For prisoners sent to the Jail the
sheriff is allowed 80 cents day, be-
sides the additional cost of barbering,
clothing, etc.
The report is concise, self-eXplana-

men who will condemn wrong in
friend and foe, in themselves az
well as others; men whose con
sciences are as steady as the needle

for the right if the heavens tctter

tell the truth and look the world

who never flag nor finch men who
have courage without shouting to
bring it ; men to whom the current
of everlasting life runs still and

earn what they eat and perform
what they are paid for doing, but

If the Democracy stands for the
rights Of the people ana is sincere in
opposing criminal trusts, as it is, there
could be no better Way Of convincing
the people of the fact than by nomlnat-
ing Hearst.
William Randolph Hearst is plat
form in himself for the rights Of the
plain people against trusts eXactions.
When the iniquitics of the tariff are
considered it will be generally conccd-
ed that than he no one has done more
to educate the people as to the ncccS-
sIty for a revision. For tariff reform
he stands In the front rank. In fact,
he has always stood for Democratic
principles, and no one has worked
harder for party success. Not only
have his journals since their establish
ment thundered throughout every ma
tional campaign, but he has been one
of the most liberal contributors to the
cause and personally organized through
out the Union and conducted an assO-
citation of congressional clubs for the
purpose of elccting q Democratic con
gress.
Labor can expect nothing from the
party in power. Still. those of the toll
ers now of the Republican rank and
file must be given strong reasons for
making change.
Having taken "A small part in the
canvass Of Mr.. Hearst for congress. |
was made to know how labor regarded
him. | do not alone fudge from the
MANY hundreds of Endorsements he re.
ceiyed from labor organizations all
over the Union. but also from the vol
untary aid Of great labor leaders desir-
ing to show their devotion by increasing
his majority. | need not cite the Hon.
Eugene Schmitz. twice elected labor
mayor of San Francisco. who crossed
the continent and made a strong and
brilliant fight for Mr. Hearst. He is a
Republican, but Il labor champion first.
and he wished thus to testify TO the
great work of Mr. Hearst in the cause
of labor. And there are many like him.
Were Hearst named for president la
Dor leaders would flock to him again
and thus assure his election as easily
as they did that immense majority of
$1,000 rolled up for him in his congress

What uses will be found of the
cotton plantF Not many years
back, the plant was grown solely
for the lint. Everything else was
considered of no value. Nobody
cared for the seeds except enough
TO plant and to feed COWS. Now
the whole plant has a market value.
The lint clothes the body of the
rich and the poor, the high aud the
low, 1t goes to every part of the
world From the seed, comes oil,
meal and hulls that have almost
thousand different uses. Late ex-
periments show the stalk to have
remarkable value for paper making,
and that as good paper can be made
from them as from the ordinary
wood pulp. If subsequent expert
ments are successful, the paper
