St Louis. September 11.-A tremendous ovation was rendered w. J.

 "Now I want to show you it is better to trust the democratic principles and the democratic party than to trust them to one man, whose party dasonnces him for following them. I want to remind you that the most popular act of MT. Reese velts administration was hlr bringing peace between two nations. He settled the coal strike after loss of S9e, ,o00.0 600 10 em- ployers, employees and the public. It was a grand act. I applauded him for it. But where did he get the doctrine-in the re- publican platform? No He got it from the democratic platform and I wrote the plank myself If he could gain popularity by settling one strike that cost $99,000 GOO, why ought not our party have some cred It for proposing a plan which. if put Into law, would have made the strike un- necessary? Why hasn't the republican party followed 1t up by making a na- tional law that will make It unnecessary | for man to starve his wife and children fin order to get Justice?
 f--n-- Spasmodic Action. l If the President can become the only popular man in the republican party be- cause he does something spasmodically along democratic lines, what would be the popularity of the man who does some thing and has always been a democrat! Where did MT. Roosevelt find his man date for his action regarding the rate bill? He had to go to the democratic plat form.
 "The most important part of the Elklns' bill is the pententiary sentence for it's NlOlatlOn.
 'The railroads have been the most cor rupting influence in politics in the past twenty years. By the use of passes they have packed conventions. This law was suggested by the democratic party. I shall soon have occasion to talk on rail- roads again, but tonight I want to im- press 1t upon you that the railroad ques- tion solution was the product of the dem ocratic party.
 "rhe President has now been in office almost five years. How many trust mas- mates are in the penitentiary? We have a great many trusts in this country Yioiat- ing the law. My friends, ask you to figure out on the basis of the number of trust magnates imprisoned during the past five years, how many generations will 1t take to solve the trust question?

FARMERS GETTING READY.
Labor Is Extremely Scarce and Stock
Is Very High.

Labor Is Extremely Scarce and Stock
Is Very High.
The farmers of this section are MAX
ing preparations for the beginning OF
a new crop, and as soon as the wealth
er will permit they will begin work in
earnest.
The greatest problem that confronts
them is the question of labor. Not only
is labor scarcer than ever before, but
the price is higher. Mules, too,
are bringing better prices than in
long time, and the only solution for
the farmer is to plant less cotton and
more corn, peas, potatoes, and grain
cut the cotton crop and plant more
feed stuffs. 1t requires less labor and
will keep the price of cotton around
and above ten cents. Farmers can
control the price of cotton if they will
only stick together.
Successful farmers make prosperous
and progressive counties, and help to
build the towns, the schools and the
churches.
