DEMOCRATIC UNTRUTH
Both Parker and Bryan Guilty of mex
cusabIe classification.

Both Parker and Bryan Guilty of mex
cusabIe classification.
1t seems that Judge Parker is not
more veracious than D. B. Hill and
other truth-shaders of the Democratic
party In his speech of acceptance on
Aug 10, Parker made the amazing
statement that the cost of maintaining
American rule in the Philippines
amounted to $65O,00O,00O. This sum is
so far from the true amount that it
was expected the Democratic candi-
date would explain his error, but it
does not seem to be his policy to make
corrections. Secretary Of War Taft,
who has had more to do with the gov
ernmcnt of the Philippines than any
other man, waited nearly two months
for an explanation from Parker but
none came. Finally, on Oct. 6, Mr.
Tai, in speech at Indianapolis,
showed the utter falsity of Parker's
statement, pointing out that the sum
named was a gross eXaggeration. In
stead Of $3.50, 100000, as stated by the
Democratic candidate, the cost of the
Philippines to the United States has
been only $169, 900, besides the So
100000 paid in Spain, making the to-
tai cost $1S9,0C0,000. Mr.. Taft added
that the cost a year for maintaining
courts, and the additional cost of main
tanning 1900 troops in the Philippines
instead Of in the United States, all tax
en- together, do not exceed $4,000, 600
year.
Three weeks have passed since Sec
rotary Taft publicly called attention to
Parker's mfsstatement, but Parker has
remained silent, completely ignoring
the correction. Now comes W. j. Bry-
an, who has been too busy trying to
straddle Parkers gold telegram and 16
to to learn facts about anything, and
repeats the Parkel' statement Bryan
is talking anti-imperialism, and, in try
ing to strengthen his arguments, is
telling the people that the Philippines
have cost $65O,O00 000-the same I'M
truth uttered by Parker. If Parker
made mistake and was too cowardly
to correct it, it i'll becomes Bryan, who
has nothing to gain by lying, to ape
the New Yorker.
This incident is merely fresh evi-
dence that Democracy is conducting
campaign Of Misrepresentation and
deceit

I do not paSteuriZe my cream for the
4ason that L, as we'll as any other
.rivate dairyman, can have conditions
Ich as will keep the undesirable bac-
aria Chat is genteel name for dirt
ut of my cream, says L. W. Lightly in
IatiOnal StOckman. To tell just when
ne cream has attained the proper de-
ne acid test, but the practical butter
naker soon learns to tell by the sense
smell and sight SO accurately that
test is needed to secure uniformity,
nd yet it is we'll to test occasionally
keep tab on the accuracy of our
hoses and eyes. With the Harrington
alkaline tablets and a graduated glass
cylinder to measure the cream and
solution the test for acid is easily
made.
The art of telling when cream is in
die best condition for churnlng can
)nly be acquired by practice. Look at
the cream and it has a satiny gloss;
move the paddle and it has a heavy,
smooth feel; lift the paddle out and it
is covered uniformly with a smooth
aver of cream and will not run off in
streaks, but uniformly like strip, and
as the large drops Of cream fall into
the cream vat they leave deep dents
in the cream which will remain for a
moment.
The ripening process develops the
4 .aracteristic flavor and aroma in the
butter. and the best butter can only
be made when conditions are correct.
During the ripening process the cream
should be stirred frequently. and all
should be ripened in one vessel to Sc
cure uniformity; otherwise we are like
~ to lose a great deal Of the butter
fat in the buttermilk, because cream
of different degrees of ripeness will
require different lengths of time for
churning.

PARKER REBUKED
Democratic Newspaper Raps the "Blath-
Srskites OF Its Party.

STEklIeS on AUS IarCys
The hardest slap yet administered
to Pa k@r was from the hand of an
the southland no more rabidly Demo
cratic newspaper than the Memphis
Commercial Appeal, yet an editorial
leader in that paper reads:
'Those distinguished blatherskites
who have been ablathering about Fill
pino independence and corollary imam
ties claim to be helping to elect Judge
Parker.
Governor Wright, who is on the
ground and who knows, Informed this
government that all these declarations
were being translated and published in
Tagal newspapers and that they were
having q deluding and deleteriOus eff
feet on the natives.
"Now comes the report that the old
agitators and professional patriots who
have been in enforced retirement and
whose henchmen are the head hunters
and bandits from the mountains, and
the bolo men from the bamboo ,thickets
in the valley. have come forth and pur-
pose holding public independence
meetings in Manila.
IF these fiery eXhorters arouse their
half-tamed fellows to disorder and
rapine by their perfervid utterances.
and il the task of governing the ISL
ands is rendered more difficult and ex-
pensive. our home-bred Tagal-Ameri-
cans will find that they are support
ing Judge Parker with a knife.
''This country is engaged in the solu-
ton of one of the most difficult prob
lens that ever confronted civilized
people and it is bending every energy
to solve it wisely. Every word uttered
calculated to embarrass it will be re-
scented by the spirit of the nation
which stands fortnight or wrong, our
country"
In the Democratic platform and in
Parker's letter of acceptance will be
found that "ablathering about Filipino
independence and corollary inanities,"

sire to have it known that he demands

Cheap Cheese.
One of the ineXplicable things to me
is why people will go bowling about
the beef trust, which seems to have no
effect, when cheese is so cheap that
thousands of boxes Of last years make
are still in stock, says Il. Il. Cook III
National Stockman. The average
amount of solid dry matter in beef is
So per cent, not all digestible. The
average solid matter in cheese is just
twice this amount. Full cream cheese
contains approximately One-third each
of water, fat, casein. One hundred
pounds Of beef will retail at $12-thir-
ty-three pounds of water free food cost
S12. or Sc cents q pound. One hundred
pounds Of cheese ought not to cost to
exceed Is cents per pound and would
cost much less if people bought it free

margins.

SHAMEFUL CARTOONS
Reproach and Ridicu1e for the Soldier and
His Uniform.


The campaign caricatu riStS of PreSi
dent Roosevelt have succeeded in arouS-
ing enough interest to bring out the
question: Is it disgraceful to fight for
ones country?
1t is amazing to see the uniform Of
a soldier of the United States army
pictured in such a manner as to imply
a reproach to its wearer!
It was once thought to be an honOra-
BILE thing for a man to resign position,
ease, family, independence, friends and
home, and become a fighting machine
to help uphold the honor and the word
Of his country.
There seems to have grown up diff
ferent view of this matter. The earn
est sacrifice of an American soldier
is held by some to be an affair to pic
ture in such manner as to arouse
contempt and vulgar smokers in the
crowd. The devoted soldier facing
death for his country is, with these
nameless miscreants, a sight to be
guffawed over, something to be distort-
ed into a laugh-raising cartoon.
Once it was written:
1T is sweet and glorious to die for
my country"
The yellow rendering is:
CIT is GROTESQUE AND RIDIC-
ULOUS TO FIGHT FOR ONES
COUNTRY"
Such creatures would write in their
books, if they ever wrote books, "It is
grotesque and ridiculous to die for
ones country"

LANC AsTRR New ERA. March 8, 1901.

There was nothing in the weather dur
ing the past week to encourage trade.
Rainy weather and the frost coming out
of the ground, making the roads bad and
travelling difficult and unpleasant: were
the conditions the trade had to face
since week ago. No wonder the to-
'bacco man heard ali kinds of sarcastic
remarks on the condition of trade as he
made his usual rounds. The only dealer
found who had sailing countenance
was I. FL. Weaver, who owned to the soft
impeachment of LEO cases of 1902 crop
sold and 100000 pounds of the new crop
| bought.
We understand the long continued
damp weather has resulted in the very
general removal of such Of the crop as
was still on the poles into the stripping
cellars, SO there will be no further inter
ference in that work until the entire crop
is ready for the market. We say the en-
tire crop, but we mean that part still un-
sold. A great deal has been sold; more
than many dealers profess to believe

end Of the county have been especially
busy, and they have cleaned up Ger
tain localities to an extent little believed
The buying is not so indiscriminate as in
other years, but only the best goods are
| taken.
