negro voters as far as possible united
body to secure men and measures ia

the colored voters are going to fight

ITO arouse the voters of the race to
the necessity of defeating Taft or
Roosevelt.
ITO use the churches to which col
ored people belong, and their pastors
to the same end
ITO hold public meetings through
out the United States to protest against
the nomination of Taft or Roosevelt
The negro voters hold the balance
of power in several western states and

they could control the election.

You don't understand Mike: YOU

"Oh. well. let's drop It. kid. We've

Nevertheless long after his conpan
ion was sleeping soundly the old man
lay thinking. He had understood-only
too well! Twenty-Five years ago Mar
ian Denman had laid the alternative
before him.
II will never marry poor man." she
declared. II love you. but 1 know too
much about poverty to marry you
while you are n poor man. ! will wait
for you. but will not marry you until
you are able to support wife-in good
style"
And so he had left her side and
sought the mining district where great
strikes were to be made by the lucky
few. Who could say but he might he

Two years he wandered and worked
Intellectually. Then he received Il let

He plunged deeper into the wild and
struck more savagely at The mountain
sides with bis pick. He would find q
fortune and return to faunt it in the
face of the faithless woman who had
| betrayed him. This thought had sus

But the photograph In that boys

Marian Denman as she was when he
knew her. But for the name. Agnee
Morton, he would believe them related
IN some way. But. pshaw! 1t conidn'i
be. He rolled over and resolutely went
to sleep.
As the partners piled their picks next
morning the old mans mind reverted
to the picture.

Wall Street supports Taft.

There may be some doubt about
how great the revolt of labor will be
against Secretary Taft, but that Wall
street interests will warmly support
him with money and votes seems GER
tain. That representative Wall street
banker. Jacob H. Schiff, the partner
OF that "malefactor of great wealth."
Mr.. Hartman, has accepted the vice
presidency of the Taft organization
of the state of New York. He de-
clares that with a rigid insistence
for due and proper regard of the law,
|all classes of our citizens will, with
Mr.. Taft as president, become readily
convinced that legitimate interest will
be safe in the hands of their chief
Executive"
From this we may assume that Mr.
Taft will receive the united support
of the Wall street influence, and that
bankers and railroad managers will
vie with each other in filling the
"dough-bags" of the republican party
The indicators of great wealth have
evidently. as Mr. Schiff says, become
readily convinced that they "will be
safe" in the hands of Taft,

All that was promised was given, and

was three days of good will and good

In all probability another state en-,

be held in Quincy. 1t is consoling
to reflect that this last one was sc

Not many more G. A. r. encamp

Bryan in the South.

The Mobile (Ala) Register of We'd
nesday says that Bryan carried the
state at the Monday primaries by
vote of two to one over Johnson. This
is a great victory for Mr. Bryan, as
the opponents of Bryan are alleged to
have exerted every influence, financial
and otherwise, to control Alabama for
Johnson, and all the influences that
Mr.. Bryan had was in the hearts of
the plain democrats of Alabama, who
scorned the methods used and the
temptations held out to them.
Mr.. Bryan, who was in Philadelphia
the day following the Alabama pri-
maries, having delivered an address
before the peace conference in session
in that city, when informed of the re-
suit in Alabama of the primary vote,
said:
Il appreciate very much the fight
that has been made by my friends in
Pennsylvania and in Alabama, for in
Alabama they had the steel trust to
| fight and in Pennsylvania they had not
only the steel trust, but several other
| trusts. In fact, l do not know of any
other state in which our people had so
much to overcome as they had in Penn
sylvania. The vote which / received
here at the recent primaries answered
| the representations that the eastern
newspapers had made in regard to the
sentiment in Pennsylvania and the same
NAV be said of Alabama -
The anti-Bryan men had been boast
ing that johnson was sure winner
in Alabama the people were
wild in their support of him, etc.
Now that Alabama has spoken, they
, explain the result by saying at was
| the vote of the farmers who are hard
| to reach in a hurry" that gave Bryan
the victory. Yes, the farmers are
| hard to reach" by the moneyed infiu-
ences with all their money who are
"grub-staking" Governor Johnson.
| Governor Johnson, who was the dark
horse" that Watterson once had in re-
serve, is good democrat. and wor-
thy man, and under other circum-
stances there would not be word to
say against his candidacy. But he
has become the candidate of the re-
dictionaries or anything to beat Bry-
an and Mr.. Watterson in a recent
editorial advocates Bryan's cause and
speaks of Governor johnson as fol
lows:
| "It is unfortunate for Governor John
son that he should even seem to be the
choice of the men who stood immedi-
ately behind Judge Parker four years
i ago, that he should appear at Denver
under the patronage of a group of un.
influential though pretentious newspa.
pers, which, as a rule, voice the plans
and schemes of these, and that money
to finance his candidacy should appear
anywhere upon the scene as it has ap
peared.'
South Carolina was another state
that the reactionaries claimed Johnson
would carry. They had reached" the
people there, so-they claimed, and the
result would be that Bryan would be
showed under. South Carolina on Wed
nesday spoke like Alabama on Monday
and has instructed its delegates tC
Denver for Bryan. 1T was the vote
of the farmer who could not be reach
ed is the cry of the reactionaries. II
was the vote of the people.

INTERESTED PARTY.

How solicitous the fellow
For your family and your wife!
To care for them he thinks should be
The object of your life.
He breaches up his purpose high
In every time and season
He's life insurance agent
That's the reason.
Economy he speaks about
AS though virtue fine,
And very anxious. too. he is
That you should fall in line.
He wants to have dime day
Saved with no intermission
That later on you can apply
On his commission.
When you are busy with your work
He drops in for a chat
About the chance you have to die.
And pleasant things like that.
And why you should insure at once.
A duty thus fulfilling.
And should you want to sign right
He's very willing
1t doesn't bother him though you
May take too large a bite,
Although he knows to keep IL up
Will keep you up at night.
Though you may cut amusements
down
And skimp yourself on raiment,
Just so he gets commission on
Each payment.

in her mothers presence. We had
rather a stormy time of it. I'm afraid
l know I said some very harsh things.
Agnes loved me; she admitted 1t in so
many words. But her mother domi-
| mated her. and the girl was afraid to
rebel. The best could do was to
wiring promise from the old lady
that she would give me year to make
good before she permitted the affair
with corporation lawyer to go any
further. And then-then was when /
came out here"
| Expecting to strike 1t rich. eh?"
II knew that unless did | was
bound to lose her forever There was
no chance in the world for me to make
