COMMON PEOPLE.

about the "Common People" We
hate the term. 1t has no place in
the language of republic. 1t
should be forever stricken from the
vocabulary of free people. 1t is
a relic of the days when men be-
lieved in the divine right of kings
to rule. 1t belongs to the time
when the lord of the field struck
down the peasant with his sword if
he did not promStly step aside for
his passage and bow himself down
to the earth with humble obeisence.
The phrase is the property of the
days when the naughty nobleman
dashed his serf's pretty daughter
across the face with his riding whip
if she did not yield to his licentious
desires. Hundreds of times have
we heard the following words at
tributed to the immortal Lincoln:
"The Lord must have loved the
common people" else he would not
have made SO many of them" We
never believed Lincoln uttered these
words. In Washington we became
well acquainted with the man who
for years was secretary to Lincoln
and was one of his most intimate
friends. We asked him about this
quotation. He told us that he
copied the speech from which this
quotation was given and what
Lincoln really said was 'The Lord
must have loved working people,
else he would not have made SO
many of them" There is vast
difference between common peo-
pie" and working people," He
who creates anything with hand or
brain, is creator and creation is
an attribute of divinity. Workers
cannot work without creating.
The great multitudes of Americas
toiling men and women are not
common people," they are our
nobility and their patent of nobility
is stamped with the seal of heaven
and not with the seal of state OF
nation. Common people," away
with the term, there are no 'scom-
mon people" in this land and if
there are any that deserve this ap-
pellation it is those who clad in
soft silken vesture and decked with
glittering gems. simply dwadle life
away devouring what others have
created. He who creates nothing
but simply subsists on the creations
of others, is Of no more value to a
state or nation than the grub that
eats its way into the heart of tree,
gradually sapping its life, is Of
value to the oak.

We trust no one will be unduly
startled at the appearance of our
name at the head of the editorial
columns of the Herald.-Last
weeks Herald.
Nobody was startled for it didn't
appear. 1t got-lost in the 'smake
up" of the paper, just as it got lost
in the ssmake up" of the ticket at
the state convention. Our name
seems to have contracted the habit
of getting lost this year.
Eight years ago the Democratic
candidate for President declared
that toiling humanity was crushed
under ga cross of gold" Statistics
show that "toiling humanity" has
piled up little matter of
81, 500. 600, 900 in gold money in
the country's savings bank.
The democratic ne wspapers of the
state are now informing the people
of the state what an easy man Mr..
Dunn will be to beat. Before he
was nominated they were telling
how many democratic votes he
would get if nominated.
The s'stanGpatters" are shouting
that this agitation about tariff re-
vision and reciprocity will injure
business. There are. a whole lot of
people that think the country would
be better off without business that
will be injured by just, fair and
equitable legislation.
1t was mighty courageous for
Judge Parker to telegraph to the
democratic convention that he
would stand for the gold standard
if elected, but it would have been
a heap more courageous if he had
made the fact known a month be-
fore the convention was held.
Mr.. Dunn has gone out of the
state for rest. The defeated can
didates are not taking any vacation
they have all gone to work to get
back some of the money they spent
during the campaign.
The Sunday St. Paul Dispatch
publishes an excellent picture of
Mr.. Dunn, Fred Schiffman, John
Selb and Oar Reese grouped around
table and labeled it "Next
Governor Damn and his advisory
cabinet" They are four of kind
that are hard to beat.
s'Frank Eddy is lost in the tall
timber Exchange.
1t is a good thing he is an old
cruiser and knows. how to find his
way out of the woods when he is
lost.
There is some satisfaction in
knowing we had more delegates in
the state convention than our old
time colleague, Chas. A. Towne,
had at St. Louis. We are glad we
can beat some one.
If other peoples children were
only as bright, good and obedien
as our own what an improvement
there would be in the Juvenile
world.
Veterans of the civil war are
about convinced that the only way
they can escape the criticisms of the
Democrats on the pension question
is to die.
Mr.. Bryan can talk some yet.
He was the only one who could
still the mutinous multitude at the
democratic convention with per-
suasive power of his eloquence.
The st. Paul Globe and the st.
Paul Pioneer-Press have killed the
"merger issue" again. There was
never an issue before SO hard to
keep dead.
John Sharp Williams seemed to
have the idea it was contest be
tween temporary chairmen and not
a hattie between two great political
parties.
The Herald is republican
paper, but no democrat is precluded
| from subscribing for it on that
account. We make no extra charge
| for sending the paper to democrats.

THE NEW BURLINGTON CUTOFF
win Be Ready For Trains By Sep
TENDER l..



J. W. Mulhern, division superinten-
dent of the Chicago, Burlington s.
Quincy railroad, with headquarters at
Hannibal, Mo-, arrived in Kansas City
last evening and will remain here to-
day. Mr.. Mulhern was formerly sup
erintendent Of Burlington terminals
In Kansas City. He assumed the dut-
les of his present position this Au-
gust.
The cutoff being built between Old
Monroe and Mexico, Mo, connecting
the Burlington and Alton tracks, and
which both roads will use for traffic
between Kansas City and st. Louis,
will be under MI. Mulhern's super
vision. He said last night that the
line is nearing completion and will be
ready for operation by September l.
1.-THE cutoff will open up a lot of
new territory In Missouri that has
been somewhat isolated from rail-
roads, . said Mr.. Mulhern last night,
1.-THE greatest part Of the cutoff Is
twelve miles from the Wabash, the
nearest railroad, and on the other
side 1t is twenty-five miles to another
line. Such towns as Wellsyille, Mos
COW Mills and other good substan-
tial Missouri towns will have the road.
There is one stretch Of track on the
cutoff twenty-seven miles Ia length,
which is as straight as a die, and will
be n of the best pieces Of roadbed in

Plenty Of Stock Cattle.

special Dispatch to the Ledger.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Monday, Aug.
~, l9O4.-A peculiar condition now
exists at the stock yards here, which
could be taken advantage Of with
proht by stockmen and farmers who
nave pastures or other forage. AS a
resulto OF abnormal conditions created
by the packing house strike, a certain
class OF cattle have accumulated and
prices on such have deprecated to a
point where they could hardly fail to
make money to the purchaser. Pack.
ers have not been able to operate
their canneries and the only outlet
Tor thin COWS has been to the country.
A drove of ninety head of animals of
this description went out last week at
az an average cost of $40 per head.
According to an axiom OF board OF
trade operators, when any product gets
below the cost Of production, that
product Is a good "buy,n and these
thin COWS do not have to put on much
flesh to make them pay out. OF
course, 1t might take a few days to
pick up a load Of stuff at these prices,
but by placing an order with a COM
mission firm, prospective buyers could
soon get filed, and would have some
thing that would almost be sure to
make a little money.
Uncertainty as to the corn crop has
caused farmers to hesitate about buy
ing stock cattle this year, and there
are now in the yards quite an accumu-
lation of stockers lacking a little In
quality, and perhaps a little off color,
but still with good growth, and not at
all stunted, that can be secured at
1925 to s2.75 per hundred, or s13 to s1s
per head. Run on grass this fall,
roughed awhile, and then given a
short feed, they win, in the opinion Of
those who have handled plenty Of this
kind Of stuff, yield a larger margin Of
profit than the high-priced, fancy bred
stockers, costing 81 per hundred more.
About 5000 head Of various stockers
and feeders were carried over here
from last week, and with q supply Of
$4,000 cattle to-day, nearly half Of
which are country kinds Of cattle,
anyone should be able to make a suit
able selection this week at reasonable
prices.

BREATHE HEALING BALsAMs
Hyomei's Novel Way of Curing Ca
tarrh-Wooldridge & Purdy Guaran-
tee a Cure.

This novel treatment for catarrh
consists Of a hard rubber inhaler Of a
size convenient to be carried In the
vest pocket or purse, a medicine drop
per and a bottle of Hyomei. By its
use 1t is possible to breathe while at
home or at work, air which is almost
identical with that of the mountains
or health resorts where the air is lad
en- with health giving balsams.
No other medicine gives such
prompt relief as Hyomei in the treat
ment of catarrh. The first breath
soothes and heals the irritated and
smarting air passages, and its regular
use for a few days or weeks will cure
the most stubborn cases.
Woodbridge & Purdy will sell a Hyo-
mel outfit for 8 / 90 with their personal
guarantee to refund the money il IT
does not cure. You run no risk what
ever in buying Hyomei, for your word
decides the question as to whether
you pay for the remedy Oh not.
