Secret of Washing Gloves.

"The only trouble about these wash
gloves" said the lady, lis that they
dry, after washing, SO very stiff and
boardlike."
The salesman wrapped the soft,
pale yellow gloves in tissue paper.
THAT is easily remedied," he said.
I'll tell you how to wash the gloves
SO that they will dry soft and p1iable,
the same as new. After you have
rinsed them quite clean, dip them in a
final bath of fresh water and rub
plenty of soap into them, drying them
without rinsing this last soap out. The
soap left in the gloves makes them
wonderfully soft-they don't need,
after drying, to be rubbed soft with
ten or fifteen minutes hard labor. This
soap secret being used, wash gloves
are quite perfect. 1t is no wonder
they are completely sup~ersededing the
expensive kid glove, for they are half
as cheap again and their washing is
so easy-do them at bedtime, toss
them on the radiator, and in the morn.

On the other hand, Mr.. Bowers, in
this incredibly short time, had allowed
his suspicious to grow into firm be-

After the farm hand had left the

the front porch, putting away at his

was so very nervous and fidgety, and
MIR. Bowers so very silent, he heard
the following conversation:

Mr.. Bowers was speechless. He
J dropped his knife and fork and gasped.
What had come over the woman, vas
she crazy? An angry answer arose to
his lips, but the flushed and pleading
face of his wife stopped it, and in a
c~onciliatory tone he said:
"Nor, Phoebe, them's done well
'nough so far, what's the use in gettin'

a few years to John and his shiftless

Replies to Daniels's Second Letter on
Trust Prosecutions.

Attorney General Bonaparte has re-
piled to a second letter from JoSephus
Daniels, chairman of the press bureau
of the Democratic national committee.

that in the attorney generals answer
to his first inquiry as to trust prosecu-
tions he had not differentiated between
the prosecutions under the Sherman
antitrust law and those under other
laws. Answering the inquiry specific

lican and nine under Democratic adj
miniStrations, forty-siX since Mr.. Roose-

Among the prosecutions of the Demo

The Choice OF Agents.

commend Judge Taft as the safest lead

of his merit is large. He has done
things. while Mr.. Bryan, the foremost
political orator of his time, has been a
brilliant and magnetic propagandist.
His service to the country in this field
has been large-but who will make the

1NsUREs AGAINST DEMOCRACY.
Big Wool Firm Fears Loss Should
BrYanism Prevail.

Siglnund SHERMAN of the firm Of
iSilberman Bros, dealers in raw wool.
Chicago, have offered premium of
$4,000 for 100000 insurance policy
against the election of Bryan.
The firm is one of the largest Of its
kind in the west and handles annually
25,OOO,0O0 pounds of wool. The stock
being carried over election is about TO-
100000 pounds.
1--WE could easily afford to pay the
large premium" said Mr.. SHERMAN,
for ii Mr.. Taft is elected we can at
ford it, and if Bryan is elected our
loss probably will be 100000. We
would lose at least l cent Il pound of
we sold immediately after his election
or If we held it six months it would
cost us cent a pound for storage and

Bryan Made Poor Showing Before

In Il letter to the New York World
New York lawyer punctures Mr.. Bry
ans legal record as follows:

OF lecturer, journalist, lawyer and colo
mel
AS Il lecturer he is certainly at least
the equal of Mr.. Roosevelt. AS jour
nalist he is probably the equal of Mr..
Watterson or Mr.. Hearst. In either
capacity he is probably the superior of
Mr.. Taft.
AS a lawyer he can best be judged
by his most famous case. This was the
Nebraska rate case. His State impos-
ed tariff of maximum rates upon the
railroads and hired him to defend it
in the Supreme Court. The case was
brought by persons interested in the
railroads against the officers of the
state to get an injunction to prevent
the enforcement of the law. This rails
ed, of course. the question whether
such an action is not an action against
the State and therefore forbidden by
the eleventh amendment to the United
States Constitution. 1t is the same
point which many of the Western and
Southern States have been endeayoring
to make during the past year for the
purpose of preventing injunctions
against their twoccnt-fare laws.
The Attorney General of Nebraska
took the point in this Nebraska rate
case, but Mr.. Bryan overlooked it when
he came to argue the case in the SUI
preme Court. He made no defense
against the injunction on this ground.
He was beaten in the case, and it's de-
cision has been the basis for the devel-
opment of the doctrine of interference
by the federal courts with rate legisla
ton. Ii MI. Bryan were President
would he be likely to get the nation
into difficulty by similar oversights?"

DEPOSIT GUARANTEE AT WORK.
Growth of Banks In Oklahoma Are
Boosted by Promoters.

Growth of Banks In Oklahoma Arc
Boosted by Promoters.
The purpose Of the deposit guarantee
plan is to secure greater safety for de-
posts. But the business world wants
sound banks as we'll as safe deposits.
The failure of the deposit guarantee to
meet the need OF the business world,
and its contrary tendency to encourage
unsound banking, is evidenced in Okla
homa, where. since the guarantee law
went into effect out Of seventy seven
banks organized, forty-two started busi-
ness with but $4,000 capital. One pro-
moter is said to have planned the or
ganiZation of twelve more. No guaran-
tee of deposits can offset the danger OF
unsound banks. Even if insurance of
deposits were all that is needed to per-
feet the banking system, it must be
recognized that no wise scheme of in
surance perpetrates the folly of encour-
aging Or permitting a continued in-
crease of the hazard.-Boston Herald.

BRYAN IN LEAGUE
WITH LIQUOR DEALERS
Gov. Hoch Has Some Interesting
Correspondence on the Subject.

correspondence on the Subject.
Just as the temperance people OF
Kansas were beginning to believe that
VIM. j. Bryan, the Democratic candi-
date for President, would make pretty
good standard bearer, Governor Hoch
comes along with some correspondence
that is calculated to put Bryan out OF
the running as temperance candidate.
Governor Hoch got into an argument
with Democratic politician at Marion
and made some statements he could not
back up with proof Oh a moments no
tice. However, he sent to Nebraska
for it and got everything he wanted.
The Omaha editor to when Governor
Hoch wrote not only confirmed every
statement made by the governor but
he sent copies of letters written by Mr..
Bryan himself in regard to the pro-
hibitory amendment when it was up for
adoption by the people Of Nebraska
in 1890
In this letter Mr.. Bryan says in other
words that he is opposed to prohibition
but that he wanted the Nebraska Dem
ocrats to make no declaration on the
subject. This occurred in the campaign
in which Bryan was elected to Con-
Sress. The Democratic platform de-
clared against prohibition and Bryan
stumped the State on the anti-prohibi-
ton platform. All this is shewn in the
correspondence in the hands of Gov
ernor Hoch and it is brought out by the
criticism made by Democrats of Taft
because in a speech in Topeka three or
four years ago he made the statement
that ut is hard to legislate morals into
people,"
The Bryan letter written to n Demo-
cratic friend prior to the Democratic
follows:
Your favor just received expect
to attend the convention at Omaha and
am glad you are going l will try and
leave here at once, so that we can
get together and talk ever the platform
before the convention. l have no doubt
we will agree on tariff opinions, but
have been in much trouble over the
temperance plank. I, like you and the
great bulk of the party, am opposed to
prohibition, but thought as the Repub-
licans took no stand on prohibition we
had better content ourselves with a dec
laration against sumptuary legislation,
such as we usually have.
I'VE have number of men who will
vote for the prohibitory amendment.
They do not ask us to declare in favor
of prohibition, but simply to do as the
Republicans have done-leave it to each
individual to vote as he likes. Ey de-
claring against prohibition we will lose
a good many votes, while we will! not
gain Republican votes. We tried that
last fall in this county: declared in so
many words against prohibition, and
the saloons went solid against us.
II wish could see you before the
convention. Can't you come up here
Tuesday morning and go from here to
Omaha, and we can discuss all planks?
Will draw UP the plank you suggest.
Yours truly,
wv. ]. BRYAN"

In the speeches which he has been
delivering in Ohio this week he has
taken up his own record While n Judge
of the United States district court upon
issues in which organized labor is in
tereSted. He claims that his act III
granting an injunction in what is
known as the Arthur case has been
not hindrance to trade-unionism. but
has operated to the building up and
numerical increase of labor organiza
tions. In his speech ut GAINESVILLE he
said:
II only expressed what the law was
at that time, in an opinion which ii
happened to me to formulate. Under
that opinion the trade-unions have
doubled in this country; they never
were in such IL prosperous state: the
American Federation of Labor has in
