the trial, the other she refused TO tell
because the apparition of Henry Craw-
ford appeared in front of her and
warned her, saying, Your fortune is
at stake; speak not a word" Her first
hours of freedom were rather pitiable.
She left RenneS with an empty purse,
some linen and a handbag containing

WHAT IS "REAL" LIFE2
By Juliet Y. Strauss

A friend of mine said to me recent
ly, speaking of another friend, that
she was having her first glimpse of
real society. l wondered IL there could
be anything real in society as it has
come to be in these latter years. 1t is
a great question whether anything has
intrinsic value. Value Is entirely a
relative affair and 1 doubt If we know

This double-faced AID opportunist pol
icy has heretofore been successful be-
cause of bounteous crops here and poor
er crops abroad, and hence good prices
for our surplus crops. But this year,
with good crops nearly everywhere,
prices have declined and the farmers
will soon be inquiring why they are not
participating in the prosperity the
trusts are enjoying. That will raise an
issue that will be impossible for the
Republicans to evade.

Can't Fool the Farmers.

The Agricultural Department claims
there has been an increase in the value
of all farms, including buildings, Of
nearly $S,000,000,000, or a 80 per cent
increase over the census valuation of
1900 But as the statistics of the Agri-
cultural Department are VIGOROUSLY
very unreliable, perhaps the farmers
are not as rich as the department esti-
mates them to be. As the trusts have
advanced the price of all the farmers
buy nearly 80 per cent, and wheat and
other cereals are declining in price, it
is safe to say that many farmers will
not be as we'll off next year, under the
working of the Republican system of
trust protection, as they were at the
beginning of this year. But the stand
pat Republican statesmen expect to
fool the farmers once more to elect a
Republican Congress, but a good many
Republican farmers will vote for their

san associations.
