Organize a Board Of
Trade.

Brandon needs an active, aggressive
board Of trade, to protect her interest,
to bring about some needed improve.
ments and to encourage her people.
Situated close to Jackson and surround.

trade, our people should ''get move

to, and show by energy, zeal and effort
that we deserve the consideration of
our patrons. Any reading, thinking
man must know that a town cannot
support itself, but is dependent upon the
intelligent effort of its citizens, and
more especially Of its business men.
jackson, whose marvellous strides
within the last decade. is the admira-
tion Of the state, and ows much of it's
growth and business Importance to its
nervy, active and progressive board Of
trade, which never tires Of talking up
their town and pulling trade their
way. Its business men, by co-opera-
ton with this most valuable adjunct,
have done wonders in q business way
Other smaller towns are pursuing the
same tactics through the medium Of
boards OF trade-why cannot. we Let
as take hold Of the matter, and strike
for the good of 'sthe old town. We
ought to do something for it's up

advantage, or we may see our trade

munities. Who will take the lead in
this movement for progress and the

sc;enceless individuals and used bv them for the purpose of ex- nloiting offices for the benefit of their creatures or for enriching themselves at the expense of all the citizens.
 The machine that calls itself Republican in Cook county was never more rotten than it is to- day. and the machine that calls itself Democratic in Cook county was never manned by a more in famous crew than controls it to- day.
 There is no hope for better things from either crew. No honest, liberty-loving American can in good conscience follow either crowd. There remains for him, then, the duty of blaz- ing his own path and joining with his fellows in putting these usllrpers down.

ed that perfection as nation un- to which we were born? Have we fulfilled that mission for which we were we were created? Not yet.
 There is still work to do. It is the work of self--purification, work which will build up the moral fibre of our nation. God has permitted certain grievances to come upon us that in the cast off of which we will raise up standard of civic righteousness which the world has been seek ing throughout the ages.
 For the past two decades there have been fastening upon our commonwealth venomous leeches sapping the life--blood from the veins of our American commerce, till the starved, pinched little waif in the crowded city cannot press to his lips an apple or an orange without paying a double tribute to our money kings; till one man has amassed a billion dollars, as many dollars as there have been minutes since Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea
 Today our large corporations have no souls, and high--handed robbery vaunts itself unpunished.
 Today our popular magazines with impunity, call our venerable Senate a body of money--grab- ing traitors. They tell us those who hold the sacred trust of American legislation have be- come the misrepresentatives of of the American people; that our beloved capitol has become the House of Dollars.
 Political corruption has become a by word in our mouths. There have been the Insurance scan- dals. the mammoth land frauds in Oregon, the crimes of the Beef Trust, the tyrannical monopoly of the Standard Oil, the Railroad rebates, and their host of imita- tors and criminal followers. The strikes and lock--outs cost our people $40, 900, 900 year. Capital and labor, held in check as two hardly restrained mastiffs, are enraged and ready to fly at each others threats.
 This is a dark picture, and of our own fair America! But it is not hopeless! We are not a fallen nation looking back upon what might have been, but we are America, in the strength of our yet young manhood, awakening to grappele with a common foe.
 If the strength were in her millionaires of her political boss es, then well might we shudder. But there are eighty million American citizens who are neith- CT millionaires nor political boss es, nor are they a race of grovel- ling, ignorant serfs. But they are a chosen race, a royal people; race born for liberty, wealth and power, a race of intelligence, and with and innate sence of jus tice. These people have fought, 1 bled and died to save their coun- try, and will they suffer treason within their own camp?
 1 America is awakeningl The mantle covering her corruption is being removed. This is the first

The American Citizen.

America Citizen! Who art thou? Whence art thou? Tell me of thy native land. What called thee forth? What power lies in thy right arm? What is the gurdeon of thy reward?
 Thy raiment-is it the royal purple, or but the toiler's con- mon blue? Mine eyes fail me! That which is in thy hand-is it the scepter of power and wealth, or is it the all-compelling instru- ment of toll by which thy hun- gry children shall be fed? That beam of light sparkling from thy hand-c it from some rare gem, or is it sunbeam's culver from bead of sweat of honest flung back with hallowed luster? cannot see.
 But what care l if thou be rich or poor, high or low! Trifes these, of less than atoms s weight to mea- sure thee, o American Citizen!
 Upon thy locks rests the crown of American manhood, a diadem worthy of the lordliest brow.
 can read in the sanitary of thine heart, love for thy fellow men.
 Upon thy continuance is written honor, truth and justice.
 Behind thee, following where thou hast trod, l see the blessings of a new life for others spent, a life given for the happiness of thy fellows, for the service of thy country and the glory of thy God.
 Above thee and about thee, I behold the Stars and Stripes, thy pride and thy protection-"Old Glory"
 Before America was nation, God took the kingdoms of this world, and casting them into one great farnace, heated by the fires of the Reformation, drew forth from the mass a few grains of pure gold; these by the touch of OmnipOtence. He multiplied a million--fold, and today we have the America.
 With His wrath He threshed the nations. and out of the chaff winnowed a few precious seed, and on the rugged shores of the Atlantic planted new race, watering it with the blood of the heroes of our American Revolu- ton, enriching it with the priva- tons and hardships of the wilder ness, with dangers from the wild
