THE GOOD TIME COMING.

The good time coming has always
been coming;
It ought to have come long ago.
It would quickly be here, all toilers to
cheer,
If the masses Of men did but know
This rich earthly Ball is the store
house for all,
And not for a privileged few,
Who would pay us the price for every
owned slice,
II the masses who vote only knew.
The almighty Baer would have to play
fair
And pay for the lands he controls.
Then thousands Of acres, now held
from wealthmakeTs,
Would yield an abundance Of Goals.
And so Of the oil, and the wealth in
the soil,
And all in the earth stored away:
The great and the small all over this
Ball
Could take what they wanted-and
pay.
Then all would be owners, and only
the groaners
Be those who want nothing to do.
Earth owned by the workers good
by to the shirkers-
The fortunes unearned would be few.
Then wealth would abound. and joy
would be found
Where brain or hand worker might
toll.
Reward would be sure, and each
would secure
A share in the rent OF the soil.

DELAYS LEGISLATION.
Opinion OF Congressman MurdOck As
to United States Senate.

Opinion OF Congressman Murdoch As
to United States Senate.
Congressman Victor Murdoch was
in Topeka the other day on pri-
vate business. Incidentally he talked
with the politicians who are around
Copeland county. Mr., Murdoch did
not take a shot at Senator Long but
he said that the house Of representa-
tives was the real representative body
Of the United States, and that the SEN
ate is not
The senate is really a damper on
legislation 1t had the opportunity to
pass a railroad bill at the last session
and also had an opportunity to pass
a purefOOd bill It did neither. There
is nothing in this garment with which
the senators clOthe themselves and
say they are a deliberative body. They
delay legislation There is but one
remedy for this and that is the cease
less agitation Of the matter by the
people. This Will win in time and it
is the only thing which Will make the
senate act"
Regarding the railroad matter Mr..
Murdoch said that there were six or
seven men in Wall street who had the
railroad situation in hand and that
these men were thinking only Of the
money they could accumulate. They
were not thinking about the people of
the country or what could be done
for the benefit Of the country.
1T is purely a selfish game with
these men, ne said, ''and they will be
able to control the interests Of the
country as long as they are able to
get the legislation they want or sup
press legislation which is contrary to
their interests"

\ WARNING NOTE To REPUBLI-
CANS.

From Denver Times.
Commenting upon the result Of the
recent state municipal election Les
lies Weekly calls attention to the fact
that President ROOsevelt's plurality Of
sos, 900 in Pennsylvania and 225, 900
in Ohio in 1904 has been succeeded by
democratic plUralities for state officers
in 1905.
Quoting the St. Louis Republic,
which says that the defeats in these
states, mean that the republican party
has no popular asset except the presi-
dent, whose actual value is not known
until he has passed through the cru
ciaI test Of the coming congress, Les
lies adds 1T viii be we'll for repub-
Iicans to ponder these facts After a
long series Of disasters the democrats
at last see a ray Of hope ahead for
their party They Will be encouraged
TO work harded this time onward to
the election Of the next president than
they otherwise would have done This
Will mean a larger democratic vote
than was pOIled in 1904 There viii
be no 2,5OO,OOO plurality for the re-
publican candidate three years hence,
unless it be Roosevelt against a So
ciaIist-demOcrat- In the congress OF
19O5-O7, soon to open, the republicans
in order TO get any plurality at all in
1908 The eyes Of the country are on
the republican party in a very critical
way"
What the writer Of this comment
means by a 'sOcialist-demOcrat' we
don't know, but it is evident that he
feels that investigation and rebeIliOns
against all kinds Of bosses are signs
Of dissatisfaction with the way things
have been going If straws are indi-
Cative Of the direction in which the
political wind blows, there would have
been more truth had the assertion
been in case the democratic nominee
be nominated on a public ownership
platform" He must be a superficial
observer indeed who IS not convinced
that the general sentiment Of the
country at the present time is over
whelming in favor OF public owner

The Rival Dressmakers.

The rooms at the Masonic Temple
were just as crowded. Nine. Wade,
the vice president, was saying: 1--WE
are now holding our eighth semi an
nual convention and our methods and
lines of work are very different from
any of the so-called dressmakers' as
sociations. All our gowns-and we
are exhibiting seventy -five-were
made by American dressmakers to be
worn by American women. We i'm
port nothing, all our trimmings and
laces being made in this country.
Tomorrow evening we shall COM
mence our corset demonstrations, and
wish it distinctly understood that
our methods are in no way like those
employed by others. Our corset mod
els are young women with beautiful
figures, and 1 may say right here that
a corset cannot be properly fitted on
any but slender figures. Miss White,
who demonstrates on her own figure,
is certainly not slender, and I main
tain she is thus unable to give the
best corset effects"

BESSIE MCDONALD GOES FREE
AFTER SERVING A YEAR IN
PRISON.
Convicted of ShopIiftins, But She Has
Been a Model Prisoner Since Her
Incarceration.

Governor Mead has granted three
paroles, two Of which have been pend
ing since last June. The prisoners re-

woman who has acted as nurse and
general comforter in the woman's
department of the penitentiary. In

ed excellent service. Moreover, dur
ing her incarceration she has been a
model prisoner. Her offense was shop
lifting and she is serving a three years
sentence imposed by the Spokane
county superior court. She mas yet

Leon Macy is a boy about 20 years
Old, the son of highly respectable par
ents in Baker City, Ore In the spring
of 1894 ne fell in with the notorious
Gingie gang of horse and cattle
thieves in eastern Washington and
was a party to one of their crimes. He
fled to Idaho, where he was caught.
On his arrest he confessed, claiming
that he had gone into the robbery
through fear of the Gingles. Jack
Gingles in trying to escape at the
same time was shot and killed by pur-
suing officers near Hangman creek,
Spokane county, while resisting arrest.
Jim Gingles was caught and is serving
a 10 years sentence for the crime. The
sheriff of Yakima county, where the
crime was committed, and a number
of other prominent people recommend
ed the parole.
Santiago Egliasias halls from Kit

a good prisoner. He was convicted on
circumstantial evidence, and the sner

ton says he believes Egliasias was a
victim of circumstances and not a

His Stock in Trade.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1S.-Ed-
ward L. Pape, former circus performer
who is alleged to have used his abil-
ity to discolate his neck to mulct
the railway companies, has been in
dicted on a charge of conspiracy to de-
fraud and for false pretenses. The
charge is made by the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit company
Papes stock in trade, it is alleged,
was an injury which he received in
high diving at Coney Island several
years ago. He suffered a fracture
of the fourth vertebrae and since his
recovery has been able to dis1ocate his
neck at will.
In July last he fell from a Market
street car and was dragged some dis
lance. He was picked up apparently
unconscious and at the Jefferson hos
pital physicians discovered mis- neck
was broken. He demanded $4,000 of
the traction company and was given
$500 before the alleged fraud was
discovered.

THE OLD HENS.
Careless Selling of Poultry Of Fine
Breed Robs the Farmer OF His
Rightful Profits.

On many farms at this time Of the
year there are found quite a number
of surplus males and females that
possess pure blood but which cannot
be sold to fanciers, for various rea-
sons. These may have been prize
winners at an carrier period in life, but
on account of approaching end and con-
seauent fading beauty, they have lost
out and have become the victims of the
intense eommereialism with which this
age is charged. These birds find their
way into the huckster wagon at COM
mercia1 rates and day or two later they
may be found in the midst Of struggling.
surging mass of everything that the
feathered vocabulary has a name for.
About that time some farmer, and. so far
as that is concerned, once in awhile a
fancier will happen that way when his
eye will be caught instanter by the ap-
pearanee of any such specimens. He be-
comes interested right away and goes
after such specimens as pleases his
fancy, and one by one examines every
section of the bird. ending by purchasing

commonest kind of a price he can Jew
the huckster down to. Then he takes the
bird home. waits until it mouths and fixes

nobody has been harmed, for the bird
