many lighted candles and cut
flowers and to the sweet low
strains of Call me Thine Own,''
the words were pronounced which
united these two for life, and
kneeling they received the bene-
dictiou and silent prayers of those
assembled for a life OF peace and
happiness.
Sallie, as she is known to all,
is the only daughter of Mrs.Judge
White. She was born and
raised in Falls City and counts
her friends by the circle of her
acquaintance. She has always
been a leader in club and church
work, and in these circles, more
than any other will she be missed.
The groom is a resident of
Paonia, Colo, where he is a
civil engineer of great ability.
He is also a horticulturiSt of wide
repute. He is a stranger to most
of us, but during his short stay
in our city has proven himself
worthy of the prize he won.
Immediately after the ceremony
a family dinner was served at
the brides home, after which the
happy couple left for a short
stay in Omaha, where Mr.. Nc
Kee will attend a meeting of the
Horticultural society, after which
they will return to this city for a
short visit before going to their
western home.

Keep Your
Bowels ODen

1t is noticeable fact, and one which
any doctor will verify. that people who
suffer most often from disease are the
ones who have the most difficulty in
keeping their bowels open. Regular
bowel action is half the battle of health.
People who have a tendency to con.
stipation must of necessity use something
to help nature along. This should not
be violent aid like salts or purgative
waters, cathartic pills or powders, but a
syrup liquid that will oil the intestines
and membranes that it comes in contact
with. Children, women and weak
people generally should never be given a
strong physic, as it weakens the system. And IL
is futile Tor the strongest person because the
rellef is simply for that day, and then the reac-
ZION sets IN and you are worse off than before.

tive tonic like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

am candidate for one rea-
son, and that is because the Dem
ocrats of this nation decided that
could help them win a Demo-
cratic victory.
Our platform presents the is
sues clearly and defnitly, and
the candidates for Congress are
pledged to the same platform.
The Democratic party is pledged
to purify politics and to make it
honest.
The manhood and womanhood
of this country are rising in pro-
test against the debauching of
elections and the mortgaging of
administrations to favor seeking
corporations.
Mr.. Taft was not willing to
stand by his conventions action
on the question of election of
Senators by a direct vote of the
people, so in his notification
speech he said he was personally
inclined to favor the election of
Senators by the people them
selves.
We demand the establishment
,, of a Department of Labor, with
a Cabinet officer at it's head.
We believe that the writ of in
junction shall be so limited that
it shall not be used in a labor
dispute unless the conditions be
such as to justify the injunction
if there were no labor dispute.
The parties differ as to the
trust question. Our party says
that there should be no private
monopolies; that no trust should
exist. The Republican party
says don't kill the trust. Don't
prevent it's creation; create the
trust and start it out, and then
take after it and try to overtake
| it.
We believe that the time has
come to protect depositor in their
deposits, and our convention de-
clared in favor Of system un-
der which the depositors would
be made secure.

A Tariff-Made Millionaire Who is
For Taft.

The Republican National Com
mittee takes the public into its
confidence to the extent of an
nouncing that Mr.. Carnegie has
given $4,000 to the campaign
fund. Except for $1,000 given
by Mrs. Russell Sage it is stated
that Mr.. Carnigie's is the only
contribution reaching $1,000 re-
ceived.
Well, Mr.. Carnigie's contribu-
ton tells its story.
Mr.. Carnegie is one of the chief
benefciaries of the Republican
tariff. The duty on steel has en-
abled him and his Steel Trust to
plumber the American consumer
He sells more cheaply abroad
than he does in America. His
millions of fortune are the result
Of the operations of the iniqui-
tous tariff. And he is just one
of the favored few for whose ex-
elusive benefit the protective
tariff is kept on the books by the
Republican party.
Why should not Mr.. Carnegie,
under the circumstances, b e
tempted to contribute $4,000 to
the Republican fund? Hereto
fore his campaign gifts have
been money we'll expended. They
have produced undoubted results.
They have returned to him mani
fold. The tariff has been retain
ed, and he has been able to con-
tinue his work of separating
American consumers from their
cash with his exhorbitant prices
for his steel.
Mr. Carnegie is but an example.
He illustrates why the heads of
trusts are for the Republican
party and why they pour their
money into the Republican Doodle
box. For the Republican man.
ayers to say that Mr.. Carnegie
and Mrs. Sage are the only per-
sons who have given as much as
$1,000 to the fund is to put the
case too strongly for people to
believe them. When the money
ed interests backing the Repub-
lican organization and actively
managing 1.-THE Cromwells, the
DuPonts, the Shermans, t h e
SheIdons and so forth the state
ment of the managers becomes
too absurd to be crediiable. The
alliance between the interests
and the party is too obvious to
be sighted.
And it is because of the al
lance between the interests j"
and the Republican party that
the citizens should arise and do
their utmost for Bryan. Mr..
Carnegie is not for the protec-
tive tariff because of disinterest-
ed loyalty to the principle it rep
resents, but because of the money
| it pours into his pockets. The
same is true of the other bene-
ficiaries of protection. The peo-
pie must tolerate the tariff yoke
because the enriched want it re-
