the principles Of Jefferson, jackson

to the following.
Declaring uHequiyocally for the ini-

placing the power Of government in

If our constitution q to remain in
force and effect.
Rights of Labor.
The question OF an eight-hour day
for labor Is one that repeatedly comes
before congress, and win be even
more pertinent in the future. | be-
lieve that a man IS not the best citizen
who is condemned by commercial
ism to be an Industrial slave: who
has a reasonable amount OF time for
home, family education, aud rccrea-
ton 1t should be the policy of state
and nation to encourage the upbuild-
ing Of It's citizenship. and this cannot
be done under a systcm of CONNER
cial bondage. with Enrestrictei homs
for labor open to competition from all
the world.
In furtherance of protection to Ia
bOr in the interest of both the indi-
yide'al and the nation. | believe in OK
clusion OF such labor rs will tend TO
reduce the American standard.
Market Manipulation.
Artificial manipulation Of markets
by specr lators causes a loss Of mil
lions annually to the producers of
this country. The congress should
take measures to prevent and Actually
prohibit ans speculative market. and
shall give my support to any such leg

National Revenues.
For the purpose OF securing national
revenues | believe in the income
and inheritance tax which would place
the burden OF maintaining government
upon those who have accumulated for.
tunes under IT'S laws. bedeve the
present tariff system to be UNJUST un,
fair and undemocratic in its applica-
ton, and the parent Of our trust in
iqeity. Until it c5n be supplaated by
the income and inheritance talk | shall
support the plan to Ie-adiust sched

The question OF railroad undue In

two nights before he and Aida had taken ride in the cool of the evening going clear to the end of the run and stopping at the restaurant for a bite to eat.
 He did not feel hungry tonight though he had had no dinner He left the car at his corner and crept up the stairs to his apartment.
 By this time he was thoroughly blue and the darkness of the place crowned his misery. As be opened the hall door he seemed to hear her voice call a cheery Good evening, dear hope you had an easy day. Did you?'
 Could it be possible, he asked him. self, that Aida had come back? She might be hiding fin one of the closets. He lighted the gas in every room, but he could find no trace of her save in the orderly neatness which worked all | for his comfort.
 | He went back to the parlor and puffed thoughtfully at his pipe. In 1 his low nervous state but one explana- tion of the phenomenon was suggested. Aida was dead, and in her love she had come to greet him. So thorough ly wrought up did he become that he telephoned the railroad company to ask If the train had been wrecked. The response did not seem to soothe his ruffled feelings if 1t did reassure his anxiety. and at last he went to bed, only to toss restlessly. Sleep did not come until absolute physical exhaus- ton closed his eyes.
 It seemed scarcely five minutes be- fore the alarm clock rang, and he dragged himself out of bed. Aida had left coffee and crackers and con- densed milk In the house, and he sip ped a cup of coffee while he searched the morning paper for news of a wreck.
 He could find nothing of the sort. and at last he started for the office. As he opened the door Allda's voice rang in his ears again: "Goodby, dear. I hope you have luck today" It was what she always said, and. although it did not sound exactly Ike her voice, there wus no mistaklng cer- tain tricks of speech. He hastily closed the door and hurried down the steps. There was a telegraph office at the corner. and he sent a telegram asking her to wire her safe arrival In the office building was the booth of an- other company. and he sent a second dispatch. She was not due at her dss- tination for a full two hours yet. and he could not hope to receive a message before noon. but he paced the of7ce iz1patiently. unable to conce7trate his attention upon anything except the tagging hands of fbe clock

OIL RECORDS ARE BURNED.
Galena Company Official Says Books
 Were Destroyed PurposeIy.

Galena Company Official Says Books
 Were Destroyed PurposeIy.
 New York, Oct. 4.-The Galena Sig. nal Oil company, a subsidiary con- pany of the oil trust, burned its books to destroy evidence of rebates granted railroads for the past ten years. Re luctantly C.C. Steinbrenner, an officer on the auditors office of the company, admitted the facts of trust methods during the progress of the govern ments suit to dissolve the Standard oil trust.
 Severe quizzing and cross examining brought out other discriminating facts. Notable was the table showing the great variance of prices charged eigh- ty-one railroads. Eight companies were charged 27 cents per gallon, nine 35 cents, thirteen 39 cents, twenty 46 cents and thirty-one AS cents.
 Under this rebate system the Penn sylvania and seven other favored roads could buy oil for 27 cents. Thirty-one roads that had full 80 per cent of the trackage had to pay AS cents. The New York Central and the New York. New Haven and Hartford had to pay the AS cent rate. Step by step the monopoly lawyers fought the questions which showed that the Galena com pany controlled 95 per cent of the lu- bricating oil of the country.
 It is the contention of MT. Kellogg that the excessive charge for oil to certain railroads is subterfuge on the part of the Standard Oil company to extract rebates from them for ship 'ments by the oil trust.
