Vermont Election Laws and
Maryland.

Some one has sent the follow
ing to the Maryland Democrats:
The Maryland election laws have
been bitterly criticised and de-
nounced as depriving some Of it's
citizens Of the right to vote.
What do these critics think of this
section Of the election law of
Vermont
'Sec. GO. No person shall be
admitted to take the freeman s
oath or to vote in an election
until he has obtained the appro
baton of the board of civil au
thorities of the town in which he
resides.
Here is a law which deprives
any and every man, no matte
what is his standing or wealth.
of the right TO vote at the arbi
trary will of the trustees of the
town where he resides. There is
no appeal. The law is manda,
tory. "No person shall be ad-
mitted TO vOte,' without the con
sent of these civil authorities.
That seems to be the most ar
bitrary and unjust deprivation of
the right to vote on any statute
book. Every man of voting age
must get the appreciation" of
the civil authorities. They are
not required to give any reason
for a refusal to give their "appro.
bation' and thus the whole vot.
ing power of the town is placed
in the hands of their town Off.
Gals.
No such Infamous law as TO
elections is on the Maryland
statute books. A certain class
is denied the privilege OF voting.
1t is well defined and no man.
nor any set of men can deprive
any one not in that class of the
right to vote. But in Vermont
the civil authorities of any and
every town can deny any man
in that town the right to vote.
Is 1T any wonder tnat the State
OF Vermont, in which every town
(what we call district) has Re-
publican officials, can cast any
Republican majority desiredi

The Supernatural Republican
PARTY.

We deny in the most emphatic
manner the implication of the Re
publican Campaign Book that thu
Democratic party set fire to Baltl

Francisco last spring. We poin
out to the compilers of the yOlume
the facts which they might easily
have ascertaiued and which in
deed they might have reasonably
be expected to know without re
search, that the Democratic party
was not in power on either occaSlO 4

1t seems necessary to say tblS
because this invaluable cOmpeus

binders credits the Republlcaq
party with every good crop an Z
every favorable turn Of business
when it was in power. We inSls
that it shall not appropriate az

The New York World Mixed
on it's Democracy.

"Every where in the North"
declares the New York World,
"there seems to be an unhappy
tendency to make the Democratic
party half socialistic and half
labor, apparently in the hope of
riding into power on the cry
of "Down with the Trusts" and
MAKE the rich disgOrgew
The only evidence the World
produces for this sweeping charge
against the Democracy of the
Northern States, is plank in the
platform lately adopted by the
Iowa Democratic State COnven-
ton, in which the entry Of the
labor organizations into the pollti-
cal field is sympathized with and
government by injunction con
demned.
Is il socialism to declare sym
pathy with workingmen in the de
sire for legislation they deem
necessary, which was passed by
the House of Representative 5
almost unanimously?
Is it undemocratic to cry "DOwn
with the Trusts" which by virtue
OF Republican tariff and rebates
are plundering the people,
Is 1t wrong TO make the rich pay
their fair share of taxation?
Is it socialism to compel cor
pOrationS to obey the law and to
punish them for giving money to
be used for political corruption9
Is it Democracy to continue to
allow the Federal Judiciary 10 en-
join laboring men from doing
what is their inal enable right tn
do and to imprisou them without
trial by jury for diSobeying such
an Injunction.
Democracy stands for equal
rights to all and special privileges
to none. It's special mission is to
enforce that doctrine. 1t has no
quarrel with riches that are hon
e>tly earned, but it ever has, and
ever will, if it is to live as poll
teal party, trOwn upon corruption,
enjoin grating aud make the cor
ruptionists ard grafters diSgorge,
if 1t is given the power and lives
true TO its fundamental principles.
The Iowa Democracy is con
frOnted with the fact that corpo-
rations have been plunderlng the
people by virtue OF y corrupt Re
publican Oligarchy to whom they
haN G given money, railroad passes
and other forms of p.wer to over
ride the will of the people. There
are strong signs that the end of
such a corrupt machine, cOmpos
ed Of Republican office holders and
seekers and railroad attorneys is
nigh and the Democrats Of Iowa
are alive to the occasion and are
getting together and trying to
draw their natural allies, the
working men, to actively enlist
under their banner.
Instead OF criticism they deserve
credit for boldly fighting the evils
that surround them.

Bryan Will Support Hearst

Homer Bassford, staff correspon
dent of the st. Louis Republic
with William Jennings Bryan,
wired his paper as follows:
William Jennings Bryan will
support Hearst with all possible
enthusiasm. He appears to be
particularly DESTROYS. in the inter
est of truth and for party good, to
set at rest the rumors that have
indicated a breach between him
and the New York nominee.
"Mr. Bryan told me that he will
not only support Mr.. Hearst in his
public utterances and privately
as far as possible, but he will, If
requested, go to New York and
make speeches in the interest of
the Hearst candidacy. He says
that Hearst is a strong candidate,
has a strong personality, and that
he hopes for his election to sue.
coed Governor Francis w. Hig-
gins.
"More than this, Mr.. Bryan de-
clares, without reservation, that
it is his belief that if Hearst is
elected he will make an efficient.
capable executive.
Nevertheless MT. Bryan has
practically been ignored editorial.
ly by the Hearst papers for some,
and at the time of Bryan's return,
not even line appeared on the
personal page of Mr.. Hearst's
paper, regarding him in any way.

side. Get a smooth board about IA
inches long by five inches wide, and
cover it with thick soft flannel, plac-

Sew it on securely and smoothly.
Then cut your cover a little larger
than the board, and in the form of a
long envelope, with the opening and
flap at one end. Bind it with rib
bon or galloon, and make a button
hole in the flap, with button to cor
respond on the cover. Put, also, on
the cover a pocket large enough to
hold a small ironholder, made of
ticking, lined with thick flannel, and
covered with the same material as
the cover, which should be of a bright,
lowered cretonne. Small charcoal
irons can be bought that are easily

Waist Suits and Lingerie
Styles Harnonize.

The most fascinating hats and para

Lingerie styles are responsible for
much of 1.-THE whole wide range Of
lingerie ideas echoed and reechoed in
the parasols; in fainter, though no
less exquisite, tone in hats. Some one
has glibly prophesied the passing of
the fluffy parasol, claiming that in.
stead will be carried the palmer types.
Yet lingerie dresses grow more pop
ular all the while, and ruffies are
piled upon rufIles, seemingly without
end. That prophecy is bound to be
wrong, for, so long as the summer
girl holds court dressed in the sheer

and froths about her, just so long will

Those palmer styles will be car
ried more than the fluffy ones without
a doubt-just as shirt-waist suits and
the many attractive models of linen
suits are more in evidence in sun
times than those billowy, beruflled,
beribboned things. But each will
have its place and each will be car
rled-you might almost say worm
with the sort of gown it best suits.
And hats of linen and of linen
and lace will go with them.
For the plainest shirt-waist suits
the prettiest linen parasol is made,

WHEN HANGING PICTURES.

Study suitability 3l subjects when
assigning pictures to their position,
as a picture that is suitable in one
room may be entirely out of keeping
with the general character and pur-
pose of another.
Do not crowd pictures. Too few ale
preferable to too many, and plair
spaces are restful in their effect.
Oil paintings, water colors, and line
drawings show the artists work aid
what he meant to depict much better
when hung fiat against the wall-pot
tilted.
Never hang a glossy picture opposite
a window, and never hang any picture
so high that it is hard TO look at.
Do not hang pictures in pairs, and
do not hang two from one hook if the
wire on both shows-the oblique lines
made by the two wires are very OBJ
jectionable.
A picture which shows heavy shdd-
ows should be hung with the shadows,
away from the window, to make the
shadows seem natural ones.
Pictures are less apt to get skewcd
when dusting, or by other means, If
hung on two hooks instead of one. The
lines of the wire are less Objectionable
too, as they are horizontal and per-
pendicular, as are the lines of the
frame. When the wires can be entire
ly behind the picture, out of sight, the
best effect is secured.-PraiTie Farmer
