From the Democratic platform.
Wall street also objects to the in

If the discovery of the Five

A loud protest has gone up from
the labor organizations all over the
country against President Ro0se.
velt's unnecessary and prejudicial
allusion to Secretary Haywood Of
the Western Federation of Miners,
in his dispute with Mr. Hartman,
chasing him with Hartman us an
undesirable citizen AS Mr..
Haywood, along with Charles IL.
Meyer, president of the w. f. NJ,
and George A. PettibOne, former
member of the executive committee
of the Federation, are on trial for
a capital oifeuse, accused Of the
assassination of former Governor
Stueueuberg of Idaho, the Presi-
dents allusion to Haywood is all
the more reprehensible. These
men are believed by organized
labor, and thousands of people out
side such organizations, to be the
victims of diabolical conspiracy
against their lives and liberty.
Such an expression as that of the
Presidents is a Judgment and con
demnation of the men in advance
of their trial, and coming from n
man in Mr.. ROosevelt's position is
calculated to forestall for them a
fair and impartial hearing. 1t
cannot be justified on any ground,
and the labor organizations and
especially these men on trial for
their lives are right in their un.
qualified condemnation of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

ERRATIC MIR. GRAVES.

John Temple Graves, Atlanta +
sciutillant politician and orator,
has been making some OF the wild
est and most absurd political sug-
gesliOns that the country has been
treated to for n long time. A few
weeks ago in n speech at his home
city he urged that Mr.. Roosevelt
be made the nominee Of the Demo
cratic party aud that Mr.. Bryan
make the nominating speech. AT
the Iroquois Club in Chicago last
Saturday night he changed the
suggestion a little, declaring that
Mr.. Roosevelt ought to support
William j. Bryan in the event that
he did not want the presidency
again, but that Mr.. Bryan should
nominate Mr.. Roosevelt if he can
be induced to run.
Could more preposterous va
gary be advanced by a man who
assumes to train with Democracy

The Happy Farmer

A certain class of newspaper men assert that farmer is the most independent man on earth, and that he has nothing to do but to enjoy life. That when winter and the blizza ards on the wing he toasts his feet in the oven and reads the local newspapers and the only thing that disturbs him is a call three times a day 10 a banquet of mince pies ard other luXuries. It is a mistake. The in . dustrious farmer begins work long before the sun thinks of get ing up. With his soul shrouded d in gloom he proceeds to build a fire and soften his boots with a sledge hammer. He then takes lantern and shovels his way to the barn and feeds the hogs. It is then time to feed the newly arrived calf, which seems to de. light in putting pail of milk over the tiller of the soil until he only needs to be stamped to pass for package of olemargarine. He crawls through barbwire fence and digs the hay out of the snow, feeds the COWS, cleans the stable, gathers up the frozen chicks, chases stray pig worth 9 cents for four miles, and does not catch it, doctors sick horse, freezes his fingers, gets kicked by a one eyed mule, and when the gloaming comes and quiet- ness broods over all the earth, he has single half hour to mediate and wonder how he will pay his taxes.

Normal Notes.

The many cases of measles are rapidly convalescing and the pupils are getting back into school.
 Only two of the Normal boys took the recent examination for teachers but they got two certifi- cates, one a first.
 The Southern Star boys are planning an entertainment to be given in a few days that will be rich in amusement.
 Messrs. Paris and Cunningham from Lead Hill came in last week and entered the Normal Depart. ment and are doing good work.
 Kit Carter visited home folks at Grand View but came in Monday and is again at hard work. He is one of the most reliable and steady boys in school.
 In honor of April first the pupils all took vacation for a half hour Monday afternoon but got tired of waiting for some one to hunt them up and came in alright at last.
 Garland Ferguson from Zeb, Ark. entered school last week and is making speciality of lan- guage. He now wears the Nor nal badge teside the gold one won for excellent work at Vest ern Grove last winter.
 Kit Wilson holds the record on bookkeeping. He has covered more ground and with less help in three months than any student ever in the Business Department of the Normal. He will soon be able to complete the entire Con- mercial course.
 One of the greatest undevelop- ed sources of wealth in the south is the minds of the men and women. More thorough edu. cation must be given it we would compete on any line with the other parts of our country.
 The Normal has some valuable improve ments planned for the near future that will add greatly to it's value to the town. The school is now bringing nearly a thousand dollars per month cash trade to:the town and this can be increased many times if the pro- per encouragement is given.
