A Leisure Class

An Englishman il criticising social
functions that he was honored with
while in this country says: with all
their refinement, must say there were
indications of q vulgar display of
wealth, which is rardonable in ma
ton that has never had leisure class.
No matter what a mans wealth is
over there, with very rare exceptions,
he is engaged in business" That
Englishman must not despair of us.
We are getting OIL famously this win
ter in augmenting our leisure class
The report from every charity organ
ization society gives us actual figures
to base the statement upon, that We
do have very large leisure class. Be,
sides those that sleep at the police sta
tions there are few hundred others
mostly in the south now, who are en-
gagged in automobile racing. The lei
sure class is being recruited rapidly a

He Didn't Know

The rural editor is not much given
to advertising his ignorance. If he
don't know, he gel orally keeps quiet
about it, until he can lind out. Clark
Perkins of the ST. Paul Republican
is an exception 20 the rule. He takes
every occasion to tell the people that
he don't know things. n an attack
on The Independent he says:
But the most ridiculous feature of
the article is that it holds secret ex-
press rates responsible for the advan-
tage enjoyed over the local retailer by
the catalogue house. The fact is that
all transportation charges are paid by
the consumers, and if one of them ever
secured any special concession from
| the express companies on account of
patronizing catalogue houses, or for
any other reason, we have never heard
Of it.
The rest of the article is evidence
ipcontrovertible, that there are several
other things that Mr. Perkins never
heard of and probably never will as
long as he elies for his information on
what is published in the plutocratie
press. At meeting of club few
nights ago where several of Lincoln's
prominent business men were present
NEARLY every one of them acknowl
lodged that he got secret rates and sal
that he had to have them to compete
with others who got them. These were
the big chaps. The little chaps dom
get the secret rates. If Mr.. Perkins
had appeared in that crowd of bushes:
men and made tre above statement
they probably would have recommend

Which is the Biggest Fool

According to decisions of the treas
ury department and the attorney gen.
eral recently published, it is made a
fixed fact that only American citi-
zens are to pay the tariff tax. For
merly they told us that the foreigner
paid the tax, but now it is declared
that the foreigner is the only one that
does not pay the fax. These decisions
declare that wheat, wool and hides
that are imported into this country and
manufactured into finished product,
when exported will have 4 rebate paid

that statute that could be made was
that the judges were entitled to collect
from the government the actual cost
OF travel and living. but under no cir
cumstances more than $40 day. But
these. judges interpreted it to mean
that they were 70 have $40 day
whether the cost of travel and living
was that much o. not. They are SIM
ply bunch of grafters, just like the
rest of the federal office holding clan.
Centralizins Power
There was never greater nonsense
talked on the floor of the house than
John Sharp Williams speech denounc-
ing government ownership of rail-
roads, because 1t would tend toward
the Capitalization Of government. The
danger of capitalization lies in gov
eminent control Of rates through a
commission appointed by the president
and that is what Williams fayors. Fed
eral supervision of rates will offer or
ganized capital new inducements to
seek to control the government by a
few When commission appointed
by the president fixes rates, the rail-
roads will stand ready to contribute
millions to elect candidate whose ap-
pointees will be friendly to the rail-
roads. To the thoughtful man, there
lies more danger TO the stability of the
government and greater prospect OF
extortion in this scheme of railroad
esntrcI than any thing that now ex-
lists. This cry Of naturalization" is
like all the cries that have been used
to deceive the people. Plutocracy gen.
orally goes before the people and de-
nnunces the thing that it WISHES to ac-
ccmplish. That is what it did when
from every newspaper column and
every rostrum went forth the cry, zone
dollar as good as every other dollar
That was just the very thing that the
money power did not want. They
wanted two kinds of money. One kind
that was really money and another
kind that was to be issued by the
banks that was not as good as the
real money. There can be no better
way devised to make strong cen
tialized" government than TO give to &
few men the power to fix rates. There
would be billions in it. 1t will not take
the railroads long to Elk presiden
SO that he will appoint men to fix
rates to suit the railroads. Then thu
'sten men of Wall street" will rul
things to suit themselves without fur
Their interference.

begging. He saw cid women made up
as cripples, pretending. to sell news
papers and evey time he turned
around in a hotel or restaurant there
was some one standing near expecting
a tip. He noticed the enormous num-
Der Of hospitals ard the constant ap-
reals made to the public for contribu-
lions. He took good deal of pride
in telling Englishmen that there were
nc such conditions in America. But
row we have them all. The pluto
cratic system of England followed in
this country is producing exactly the
same results here as there.
Southern Populisis
Mr. John Sharp Williams announced
in the house of representatives that
"the time may come wien all the
country, except the south Will be advo-
eating government ownership of rail-
reads. The south never will support
that proposition, because it has the
|old-fashioned idea that the government
should not become too strongly CEN
tralized."
1t is evident that the southern popu-
lists who have SO strenuously opposed
fusion, understood the southern de-
mocracy much better than the north
ern members of the party. Mr.. vii
| liams is the democratic leader on the
floor of the house and voices the set
/ tied policy of the southern democracy.
With that kind Of democracy the popu-
Hist could never fuse" It has not
only declared the gold standard irrevo-
cably established, but it will forever
oppose the government ownership OF
railroads. There is nothing more
thoroughly plutocratic than the south
ern democracy. Tom Watson knew
perfectly we'll wha; he was doing when
he repudiated it and fought it.

The ideal breeding place for disease
germs is a weak stomach and digestive
system. The food, instead Of being
assimilated, turns into a sour, Shiny
fermenting mass, causing gases, dis
tress after eating, bloating, nausea
and flatulency. The poisonous germs
that are giyenoff from this undi1ested
food enter the blood, and pimples
boils and blotched skin is the result
Nervousness and sleeplessness come
more often from weakened digestion
than from any other one cause. Rheu-
