IOHN MITCHELU'S OPINION.

Samuel Gompers is being made the
target for a great deal of coarse abuse
these days on account of his advocacy
of the election of Mr.. Bryan. Yet John
Mitchell was with him in Denver and
acquiesced in all that was said and
done. More than that, after the in
junction plank had been adopted by the
Democratic national convention, Mr..
Mitchell replied to a message from the
New York World as follows:
I'm accordance with your invitation,
! wish to state that in my Judgment the
election of Bryan would be for the best
interests of the whole nation.
He stands on much the better plat
form and will be guided by it in the
event of his election Mr.. Taft is ham
dicapped by the jealous advocacy of
his cause by the predatory rich. Hon
est wealth and business have nothing
to fear in Bryan's election
Since inditing the above Mr. Mitchell
has assumed the duties of an important
office and declines to make any state
ment whatever concerning the political
situation. His honest opinion, how
ever. that the election of Bryan would
be for the best interests of the whole
nation" stands

THE COLD WATER BAG.
Makes Good Pillow on Hot Niahts
Says Fat Man Who Keeps Cool.
New York sun ]


You hear a lot of talk these hot DAYS
ABOUT the troubles folks have in getting
10 sleep, said the fat man who STAYS in
town all summer. THE trouble with them
Is tnat they don't know how to keep cool -
MS remarks aroused the chronic kicker
SOUNDS fine 10 me-" he remarked. You
tax as If you really knew something.
ferhaps you've got cold air current
piped down from Greenland onto your
ped or have your pillows stuffed with
cracked ice. L don't suppose your pillow
ever gets all sticky on these humid nights
when there isn't a breath of air stirring
mine does. and I'll tell you you can't
peat IT, II you can. loosen up. We're
listening. What's the answer?''
Hot water bag replied the fat man.
"A chorus OF 1eers greeted this remark
SO he went on to explain.
don't suppose 1t ever penetrated your
tnlck skulls. did it," he asked that there
are more than a few uses for hot wa
ter bag? Never took one to bed with YOU
in the winter, did you, when your room
was so cold that the sheets seemed freeZ-
ing together, and put it at your feet?
Never did enough thinking with that
IDEA factory of yours, did you, to realize
that hot water bag can be a cold water
bag Just as we'll? Fact
when L want to spend a comfortable
night and dodge the discomfort of a hot
feather pillow that seems hotter than the
quart hot water bag. l fill it with ice
water not too full but just so it's a lit
tie soft. Then wrap a smooth towel
around it, and there's the finest hot
weather pillow ever.
Fiji another one for your feet and If
you aren't comfortable in little while
you feel the heat worse than I do"

ones do so with the idea that charitable
organizations must furnish food, and
with them out of the way the chances
of the poor mother and little ones would
be improved. Others. in whom the
brute instinct is strong, leave their
families to exist if they can or perish
if they must. In either case the stu
alton is bad enough.
We fear the coming winter is going
to be productive of unparalleled suffer-
ing in the larger cities and factory and
mill towns of the east. Prices have not
come down since the panic, and the
iron fingers of the trusts are at every
mans throat. The speculative carnival
is followed by dire distress, and the era
of Mckinley and Roosevelt "prosperi-
ty" leaves the country stranded upon
the rocks of adversely.
Far away from these heartrending
scenes, under brighter skies, with mills
and smelters crushing out the riches of
mother earth. and with cattle grazing
on a thousand hills, Utah is extremely
fortunate. On this beautiful Sabbath
morning let us give thanks that it is
as well with us as it is. The pinch may
come to us next.

MISTRESS IN THE EAST.

While the millions of acres of rich
land in the great agricultural states
and the smiling valleys in the noun
tain country promise to yield an abun-
dant harvest; while the bank vaults
are grooming under the weight of yell
low metal stored within; while we are
at peace with all the world, with count
less thousands of strong and willing
hands ready to toll in the mill, factory
and workshop. the situation as 1t ex-
lists today in the cities of the east is
somewhat startling
Business has not recovered since the
panic. and the men who were out of
work last winter have been idle all
summer. With their little savings eX-
pended TO keep body and soul together,
stick by stick. the unfortunate victims
of Republican prosperity" are brought
face TO face with another winter, with
no prospect of obtaining employment,
der assistance. There have been nu-
merous cases Of suicide and a marked
increase in crime, but the most pitiable
result of the prevailing hard times in
the east is the abandonment of fami-
lies by the despairing husbands and
fathers. In the news report of yester-
day we find the following from the
great city on Lake Michigan:
on the increase in Chicago. Cases of hus-
bands deserving their wives and children
have become so frequent in the last ten
months that charity workers regard the
situation as epidemic.
Between 300 and 400 cases have been re-
ported to the Chicago RELIEF and Aid So
ciety since last November This is 80 per
cent higher than the number reported to
the society in the corresponding period
last year. Lack OF work, due 70 hard
times, drunkenness and dependency are
the principal causes advanced.
This is an appalling condition in q
land of peace and plenty, but the stu
alton in Chicago is by no means I'M
common. From New York comes the
same accounts of poverty and distress
and the desertion of the weak by the
strong. Only a few days ago the fol-
lOWlnS Story W as sent OUT over the
wires:
New York. Aug. 12.-Hard times are
the cause of a widespread epidemic of
wife desertion in the poorer districts of
the city, according to reports turned in
by the visitors of the Childrens Aid So
ciety. In the instance cited by Mrs
Edith NJ. Macarthur, the visitor of the
East Eighty-eighth street station. the
primeval instinct OF the survival OF the
fittest is responsible for the epidemic.
Conditions in my district are really
so terrible said Mrs. Macarthur. that
/ believe if work is not forthcoming i'm
mediately for the men, the whole neigh
borhood will degenerate into condition
which will shock New York. The suffer-
ings the people have been through and
which many are still experiencing are
having a bad emotional effect The
question Of self-preservation is becoming
stronger with the men than their love OF
wife and children

fathers who thus desert their loved

COST OF ROYAL FUNERALS.
Git Bits.)


The double funeral of King Carlos and
the Crown Prince of Portugal has in
volved the expenditure OF good, round
sum, but in this, in other directions,
royalty has of late years shown worthy
desire for economy. No modern ruler has
been buried at the cost of Alexander the
Great at whose funeral el000,0 900 was
spent, part of the money going toward
providing solid gold coffin for the dead
ruler. The Emperor William of Germany
was buried at a cost of e250o0. and the
last rites of the Grand Duke Nicholas ran
into $4,000. At the funeral of President
Carnot a trifle of $4,000 was spent on
flowers alone. A sum of GS5.000 was spent
on Queen Victoria's obsequies, $500 of
which went for the entertainment of
royal and foreign guests, and Gl5.000 for
the travelling. food and accommodations
of troops. When the Duke of Wellington
was laid to rest in 1852. sum of e70,0
was spent, giving him what has been de-
scribed as the most splendid funeral of
the nineteenth century.

LARD TIMES REPUBLICANS.

The west is pulling through the period
of depression following the Roosevelt
panic of last year, but the conditions in
the east are far from satisfactory, so
much so that the sufferers are begin
ming to locate the cause of the trouble
and act accordingly. The following
dispatch is taken from the New York
World, the press wires for some reason
or other having failed to carry it:
Little Falls. n. Y. Aug. 6.-Twenty-
five Republicans in the town of West
Winfield today organized a Bryan and
Kern club. John T. Morrison is presi-
dent 1t is called THE Hard Times Re
publican club" Most of those who
Joined are farmers. but it numbers sew
eral mechanics who have been out of
work for months. West Winfield has al
ways been Republican. This year, it is
claimed, Bryan will carry it.
