"Busy?" The chiropodist waved
his hand eloquently toward the

the look of tight boots and bunions

What does this all mean?
Simply that the servile devotees
of Madame Mode consider the jam

about in painful pumps, plaster
cast corsets, strangulation collars,

1896, when he protested against
fusion on presidential electors. The
existence of the party name today
is due perhaps as much to Watson
as to any other single influence.
In 1904 he again became the
party's presidential candidate, and
polled $4,000 votes. The platform
Of 1904 reaffirmed the essential
principles of that of 1892, but left
out much of the fiery preamble and
some of the suggested remedies.
Like many other movements
which have seemed to fail, the
peoples party has rendered an I'M
doubted service to the country.
While the party waned it's prin-
ciples have waxed. Some of them
today are embodied in what the
people. have Endorsed SO unmistak-
ably as the Roosevelt policies;
others are embalmed in the plat
form of the republicans, adopted
at Chicago; the rest Tor nearly all
the rest) have gone to make up
the platform on which democracy
seeks success. What shocked the
country-or much of the country's
more timid element-in 1892 and
1896, and were denounced as
crazy populism," has come to be
accepted as the progressive poll
cies" which all the people want and
are determined they shall have.
A few things the peoples party
still holds by itself. The two
stronger parties have not yet en-
braced the government ownership
ideas, as applied to railroads or
telegraphs; nor do they go with
the populists in their demands that
the national banking system be
abolished or that paper money be
put out on the credit of the govern
ment or loaned to farmers on the
security of grain or cotton in the
warehouse. The initiative and ref

Born of the hard times which
prevailed among the farmers In
1892, the peoples party was orig
inally loud and bitter protest
against existing things.
At one time the peoples party
chose presidential electors in Colo
RADIO, Idaho, Kansas, North Dakota
and Wyoming; elected nine mem
bers of the national house repre-
sentatives and had two members
Kansas and South Dakota-in the
senate. In the presidential election
of 1S92Szhe party polled 1,O41,O
votes.
Today the party is hardly more
than "reminiscences. In many
states 1t has failed entirely to keep
up it's party organization.
An important exception to this
rule is the state of Georgia. One
of the most distinguished citizens
of that state, the Hon. Thomas E.
Watson, is there still upholding
populism, having been nominated
as presidential candidate, and be-
ing now in the midst of hot can
vass in his state. His object,
frankly stated, is to take Georgia
away from Bryan, as a rebuke to
Bryan for his desertion of the pop
listic platform on which both Wat
son and Bryan stood together in
1892.
The first national convention of
the peoples party was held in 1892,
In Omaha, Neb Its first platform,
there adopted, was a spirited, or
fiery message. In it's rhetoric it
reminds one of Roosevelts mes
sage of Jan. 81 1908. 1t stated that
already the nation has been
brought to the verge of moral po-
litical and material rum" that
corruption touches even the err
mine of the bench" and that from
the same prolific womb of govern
ment injustice we breed the two
great classes, tramps and million
aires" The platform announced
the cause to be "a vast conspiracy

tinents"; thereupon suggested
remedies.
General James B. Weaver was
nominated for president.
The decline of the peoples party
began with its fusion" with the
democrats. The democracy of 1896
was the democracy of the radicals,
who, under the leadership Of
Bryan, captured the party conven-
tion held at Chicago. Bryan had,
in 1892, been a populist.
Watson always maintained that
the party organization and identity
should be maintained. He urged a

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful IL Is
in Preserving Health and beauty.
Costs Nothing 20 Try.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier In nature,
but few realize It's value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the
more you take of IL the better; II Is
not a drug at all. but simply absorbs
the gases and impurities always pres

Charcoal sweetens the breath aft

Charcoal effectually clears and i'm

II absorbs the injurious gases
which collect in the stomach ami
