We cannot see why any Democrat
should vote for Cummins. In fact,
we do not believe that any Democrat
will vote for him. The man who
calling himself a democrat, votes
for Cummins, is mistaken in his
politics. Previous to the late Re-
publican state convention a Demo-
crat might have been able to give
some reason transporting Cummins
but since Cummlns has again vacil-
lated and sidestepped on the tariff
there is not vestige of a reason why
any Democrat should support him.
Cummins is too plastic, too well
for heroic leadership. He is far
from being LaFollette. He has
now on two most important occasions
weakened and gone back on his
most positive and oft repeated
declarations. Three years ago he
accepted a miserable compromise
toriff plank at the dictation of Alli-
II and others, and now when he
y. victor, ard had the writing of
the tariff plank himself, he accepted
one that satisfies all of the tariff
grafters of the country.
Is he the hero that Democrats
want to support? Nonsense! II
a Democrat follows any man outside
Of his party let him follow man
who is honest, strong and consistent
The man who has been named tc
lead the Democratic party in this
state possesses qualilicationsofstates
manship, courage and consistency in
a higher degree than does Cummins
and in every sense is more heroic

The seeds of the peanut are planted
like beans, and when the vines have
come up and the nuts are. ready for
harvesting the farmer takes cult
vator especially made for that pur-
pose and starts down the long rows.
On either side of this cultivator are
two long knives which sink into the
ground sufficiently to cut the taproot
of the vine. The same process is gone
through with on the other side of the
vine. The main root being thus sew
cred and the ground loosenel, the
vines are lifted into shocks like corn.
They are cured by allowing them to
stand in the sun for about ten days.
when II colored woman and children
are sent into the field to pick the nuts
from the vines. An average picker
will pick about five bushels day, for.
which he is paid at the rate of 10
cents bushel.

the most successful tariff law that we

cannot deny the wonderful strides of
progress and prosperity that we have

present law stand without change or
amendment so long as present con

New England Breakfast Food.

From the Washington Herald.
Secretary Shaw paid visit to the pie
belt region of New England the past
summer.
He stopped one night at a small coun-
try hotel, where the youthful daughter
of the proprietor officated as waitress
Seating himself at the breakfast table
the next morning, Mr. Shaw asked:
Have you any breakfast food, young
lady?'
The ingenious little Vermonter stared
perplexedly at the secretary, cast her eyes
with significance over the well-laden ia
BILE, upon which was spread the usual
assortment of preserves, jelles, pickles,
WORCESTERSHIRE sauce, ham, eggs and
bread, and stammered out:
Excuse me, sir, but what did you
want?'
why, some breakfast food. please
repeated Secretary Shaw. politely
The little girl frowned, and then with
sudden illumination of the distinguished
guests meaning, replied glibly:
'Oh, yes, sir; we have apple, pumpkin.
