To ALL DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
If there ever was time IN the
history of the democratic party
for the manifestation of loyalty
and patriotism on the part OF Its
members, il is right now.
If we are to win a victory and
elect a president two years hence
we must first elect a house OF rep
resentatives this tall. A demo
cratic house can and will investl-
gate every department OF the
government. With all OF them
honeycombed by graft, the
edges of which only, have been
touched by recent exposure and
prosecutions, there will be rev.
elation of rottenness that will
astound the country and create a
demand for a democratic admin
istration to clean the government
workshop.
To win the house we need
money to defray legitimate ex-
penses and get out our vote. we
have no protected monopolies
from which to draw to hll our
Golfers. as they do those OF the
republican party. We must
therefore, appeal to loyal demo-
Gratis for contributions.
Will you send us Sl.OO at once,
and in return for this we will send
you copies of our campaign liter
ature issued by the committee.
You will have the thanks of the
entire democratic party tor your
favorable response to our request

THIS office has just received an
offer from the republican congress
sional campaign committee to
furnish free of charge to the editor
editorial copy for the coming
campaign, and guarantee it to be
the stuff. Sorry, gentleman,
sorry. but the fact is you have
mistaken the needs of an editor.
Copy is the easiest thing among
editorial needs to secure. Send
us compositors, send US blank
paper by the ton, send US new
type, send us monotYpe, send
us a pressman, send us even cold
and sordid cash, because we
could in some way use all OF
these, but don't shove into this
sanctum any more copy, for by
the great horn spoon or any other
spoon, we are long on copy and
short on it into print. Funny
that our dear republican friends
should offer democratic editor
such husks as mere copy. Ii
might be nuts" for republican
editor but it is like carrying Goals

democratic quill scratcher.-

that have been required for past
years in school and college life.
In many of the large schools and
colleges students are passed
from grade to grade on the evi.
dence of class work and on the
judgment of teachers. 1t is
most reasonable that such test
of the students capacity, is much
more potential than the written
examination, under the stress OF
which sometimes the average
scholar forgets everything he or
she did know. We feel confident

THE COFFIN TRUST.

| other, smashing liiSS"'
tions which extort outrageous
prices from the public, let us pray
that sooner or later the Coffin
Trust will "get it in the neck. =
Among all the inhuman monsters
who glut their rapacity upon
human needs and human helpess-
ness, there is none to compare
with the Coffin Trust.
The Standard Oil Company is
bld enough, heaven knows!-but
it robs the living. The Coffin
Trust robs the dead. The Steel
Trust plumbers in shop and field,
in city, town and village, but the
Steel Trust heeces those who are
alive. The Coffin Trust fleeces
the dead and chases its victims
into the grave. The Beef Trust
comes to us as we go about our
daily affairs, unoppressed by
any special burden of trouble
and woe. But the Coffin Trust
invades our home when the sob
of a heartbroken wife or hus-
band or mother or child is
heard as they ring their hands
around the bier.
With a heartlessness that would
degrade the fiercest beast of the
field, this Coffin Trust penetrates
every walk of lite, and allows no
man to bury his dead until he has
knelt to piratical combine and
paid tribute to pitiless master.
The Trust takes six poplar
planks worth perhaps twenty FIVE
cents apiece. These planks are
thrown together, lined with satin
on the inside, vanished on the
outside, possibly a cheap piece of
glass inserted in the top plank, a
few pewter and gilt ornaments
stuck along the sides and there

at the uttermost some So or So
or $40 or S12. Here comes the
afflicted husband or wife or son
or daughter or brother or mother.
A coffin must be had. Time is
short; the necessity imperative.
The coffin must be had. The
Coffin Trust does business upon
that fact. 1t numerically robs
people by virtue of that tact.
What value is put upon this cof-
fin? Forty dollars, fifty dollars,
sixty dollars, eightyfive dollars.
Every day we can see these plain.
cheap and sometimes gaudy, cof-
fins, which cannot by any sort of
calculation be shown to have a
greater value than dozen or so
dollars. sell for FIVE times that
amount. Why1. Because the
purchaser is helpless, and because
the seller has no pity in his heart.
The purchaser speaks for the
dead, acts for the dead, is within
the awful shadow of domestic
grief. The member OF the family.
whose sad duty it is to purchase
the coffin, feels that it would be
indecent, unseemly, distasteful,
utterly repugnant to the occasion
to higgle and haggle and cheaper
and squabble about the price of
what the dead man is compelled
to have. No husband wants to
hesitate over mere question OF
dollars and cents when the be-
lovet form of the wife needs
burial No wife will stop at any
question of filthy lurce when her
husband demands the last rites
which her devotion can ever pay.

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-The first
OF the Insurance cases involving the
earthquake clause was called for trial
Tuesday by Superior Judge Hebbard.
The case is that of the Rosenthal
Shoe company against the Williams
burg Insurance company The attor-
neg for the insurance people asked
that the case be not set for trial un
til opportunity could BE given the
judges to mutually arrange with the
insurance companies for a test case.
He said that the insurance companies
would demand jury trial in each
case, and unless proper arrangements
were made for a test case the courts
would be occupied for years in hear.
ing insurance litigation.
The attorney for the plaintiff de-
clared that there were points of fact
in this connection that could not be
settled by a test case. The court
then asked the insurance attorney il
he waived a jury trial and was an
swered No"
The Judge then asked: do you de-
mand jury trial?" but could not get
direct answer The attorney for the
shoe company then announced that
to save time he would formally de
mand jury trial. The case was set
for August 27.

TRACING A BIG TRUNK
DETECTIVES WORKING ON NEW
CLUE TO CAPTURE DEFAULT
ING BANKER.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-Another warrant,
charging Cashier Herring of the Mil
waukee Avenue State bank with forg-
ing note for $4,000 in the name Of
Marius S. Kirkeby, was issued today.
Testimony indicating that extensive
preparations for flight were made by
Paul o. Stensland, prsident of the
Milwaukee Avenue State bank, and
that woman entered into these prep
arations, was secured by Assistant
States Attorney Olsen today through
the cross examination of Mrs. Ellen
McCracken, housekeeper for Stems
land. 1t was learned that Stensland
had taken with him in trunks and
boxes, bedding, towels, window cur
tains, carpets, rugs, and silver din
ner set. Some of this is said to have
been traced to Baraboo, Wis, but the
big trunk seems to have been taken
by Stensland. The detectives have
not been able to get trace of It,
The large trunk which is being
traced is said to be three feet high
and bound with iron. The box traced
to Baraboo weighed thirty-seven
pounds when it was placed on an ex-
press wagon at the Stensland home
the day of the flight. kilograms have
been sent out all over the world to
dispatchers to look for that trunk.

THE CHAUTAUQUA
PLEASES PEOPLE
.AUsPIclous OPENING OF SECOND
ANNUAL ASSEMBLY.
GREAT CROWD IN ATTENDANCE
Grounds Are Beautiful and Taberna.
Gle Most Commodious-An In

intellectual Feast.

Ushered in by day of blue skies
and pleasant breezes, the Oskaloosa
Chautauqua opened Tuesday evening
in the great tabernacle at the Holi-
ness University grounds In every
respect the place is an ideal one for
ChauIauqua purposes. The distance
from town is sufficient to efface the
noise Of business, the fine grove Of
natural trees is an attraction in IT.
self, and the tabernacle far surpasses
any tent arrangement that could be
made. Its high roof, it's airy awning
like sides, its sloping door, its large
platform, all combine to make an ideal
, Chautauqua Assembly room.
The Chautauqua grounds proper are
separated from the general grove by
a high wire fence. Nearly all the
tents are in the enclosure. Outside
there is only the dining hall, managed
| by Mrs. Quigley and Harry Coffin, and
refreshment stand, presided over by
N. K. Williams.
The tents are grouped around the
tabernacle and there are about fifty of
them now, with more to follow. Robt.
Williams says at least fifteen more
will go up. Some of these tents are
very spacious and comfortable, and
all have the simplicity that should
mark a Chautauqua.
The audience was slow in gathering
but when the last car had discharged
its load, a big crowd had assembled.
1t is said that the tabernacle seats
3,500 If that is the case, at least g..
900 people attended the opening night.
The sexes were not we'll proportioned
in the audience. There were at least
four women to every man. Childrn,
too, were much in evidence.
| Finally the Odd Fellows band en-.
/ tered the building and the program
began. Their first selection was

! nized by rising. Then program Of
merit which the audience heartily
applauded. When this was completed
! Mr.. J. S. Tussey, Chautauqua mana
ger, suggested that the Chautauqua
/ Salute be given the band. His sug-
gestion was Immediately carried out.
Invocation was offered by Rev. Ely
son Purdy. Pres. A. Rosenberger,
president of the Chautauqua Associa-
ton, presented a brief address, re-
plete with good suggestions. He said
that while the Chautauqua movement
was but thirty-three years old, there
were over five hundred assemblies
held annually. He called them the
peoples universities, the university
where careworn men and women can
meet, listen to literary, musical and
dramatic treats, and enjoy the social
; life with their neighbors. He said the
spirit of the age was that of CONNER
cial war, and that no flag of truce ever
| saved the victims. The result was a
development of energy that was mar
velous. He deplored our little leisure,
and urged all to take these fourteen
I days of rest in Gods first temples" I"
and get from them all possible relaxa-
ton and enjoyment. He said the
/ benefit of season so spent would be
! greater to Oskaloosa and to the VI

in on pleasure jaunts considerable

be out Of the way to estimate that
each of these 1900 people spend at
least 81, and it is judged the average
would be more than that, but there
is no accurate way of knowing. This,
however, would add to the business of

take into consideration the freight

the general stimulation which comes

completed the traffic will be increased
to a figure 100 times greater than
this.
