stone of a Caesars heart, arose in
that building.
It was the cry of the man or woman,

The scene was something that no
human pen can tell. A circle of flame
swept from the stage around the bal

ators and the open doors.

It's easy to understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
81 had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe 1t was
injuring me although had palpita-
ton of the heart every day.
FINALLY one day a severe ana al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and l gave up both
tea and coffee. using Postum instead.
and since that time I have had abso-
lutely no heart palpitation except on
one or two occasions when tried a
small quantity of coffee which caused
severe irritation and proved to me 1

did not make It according to direc-
tions-but now we put little bit OF
butter in the pot when boiling and al

MIR. Bryan q Democrat

Mr. Bryan himself emerges from
the contest stronger man than
he entered it. Many democrats
who were honestly mistaken, and !
who had been led to believe that
Mr.. Bryan was not democrat: but
was, in fact, populist, have had
their eyes opened.-World-H Herald.
Mr.. Bryan will never leave the DEM
ocratic party. He will stick to it until
his eyes close in death. If it should
suffer defeat after defeat and its num-
Der should dwindle away until no one
was left in the party except Grover
Cleveland, Judge Parker and Dave
Hill. Bryan would make the fourth
man. 1t is no use for subscribers to
The Independent to write more letters
enquiring what Mr.. Bryan is going to
do. He Is going to stay in the demo-
cratic party. He was born there and
there is where he will die. 1t mat
tiers not what the democratic platforms
usss In the future-the may demand
ls@h tariffs, tig4s stsanding armies, the
establishment of Nick Did Sla's old
national bank, domination of railroads
or anything else and Mr.. Bryan will
be found supporting the democratic
candidates. Mr.. Bryan is simply an
Fashioned dyed-in-t he-wool, rock
ribbed democrat. Populists in planning
for the future should always take that
fact into consideration and indulge in
ne vain hopes that Mr.. Bryan will ever
he any else than a democrat
Mr.. Bryan got the vote Of populists
by deception. II If 1896 or 1900, he
had said to them. 81 will never leave
the democratic party. Before would
do that, would 60 on the stump along
with Grover Cleveland and Dave Hill
and advocate the election of Wall
street, gold standard candidate for the
presidency, he would never have got

he did in the last campaign. Mr.. Bryan

worst form of partisan insanity ever
known in the United State. The
case is incurable.

What Shall Populists Do?
A Referendum Ballot to Determine the Future
Course of the Peoples Party

and separate from all other political
organizations, or should it abandon its
organization and join with Mr.. Bryan
and other reform democrats in an eff
fort to capture the Democratic organi-
zation as a basis for building reform
party for the campaign of 1908?
When sending your answer cut out
and use the Referendum Ballot pre-
pared and found on this page. Votes
will be received and recorded until
midnight vs December 81. Only sub
scribers to The IndeDenut ntssEill be al
lowed to vote upon this question. Oth-
er populists who wish to vote may do
so by becoming subscribers.
AS the referendum question implies
the forces of reform at the present
time are divided into several camps
the principal of which are Bryan dem
ocrats and populists. Apparently
neither can succeed without the other.
Can the two organizations be brought
together? Mr. Bryan, by his course
since the democratic national conven-
ton at St. Louis, has made 1t very
plain that he intends to remain inside
the democratic party to do his battling
for reform. He will not bolt. He
contends that no reform can be
secured EXCEPT with the aid of the DEM
ocratic organization. He insists that
ii is easier for reformers to capture the
democratic machinery and then use
that organization and machinery to
secure control of the government, than
it would be to build up an entirely new
organization with sufficient strength
to secure the electio-s of a majority IN
congress and t, I. president.
For the next seven weeks The Inde-
pendent invites communications from
Its readers covering this subject and
the referendum questfen An equal
amount of space will be given to DOss
sides. Those who favor maintaining
the Peoples Party will be given abou
six columns, and those who favor CO
Ioperation with Bryan democrats inside
the democratic party, will be given INT
same amount of space.

John Turner, the English anarchist
who still fingers ia this country, de-
livering speeches in localities infested
Ivy people of his way of thinking, is
resisting with vim and energy the de-
cree for his deportation to where he
came from. He is aided by number
of Americans, some of them men of
prominence In New York city. They
do not deny thai the language of the
law warrants Turner's deportation,
but they say the law is demonstrations

a philosophical anarchist, not GRIM

to suppress the free exercise of speech,
and to punish man for holding alb

Steele was nominated for congress

The Cost ola. Boy.

A man In Peru, says an exchange,
is lecturing on the "Cost of Boy"
He has no boys of his own and draws
his conclusions from bis knowledge of
what other mems boys have cost their
parents. The cost of some boys can
not be measured in dollars and cents
Some parents are compelled to pay in
shame. sorrow and grief, There are
other boys who bring joy and gladness
and whatever the cost Of such a boy
may be it is paid gladly. There are
too many boys who give no thought to
what they are costing their parents,
Even the best boy scarcely appreci-
ates what an indulgent parent does
for him. There ais too many boys
who never consider q mothers solicit
tude for their well being. The cost
Of z boy who meets the expectations
