Raps at Republicans.
Here are some of the raps given Re-
publicans by Mr.. Bryan in his speech
of acceptance:
Our platform declares that the over
shadowing issue is, Shall the people rule?
Shall the people control their own gov
eminent and use that government for the
protection of their rights, or shall the
representatives of predatory wealth prey
upon a defenseless public? This is the
issue raised by the known abuses to
which Mr.. Taft refers
''Why were these known abuses per-
nitted to develop? Can Mr. Taft prom
Use to be more strenuous in the prosecu-
ton of wrongdoers than the present ex-
ecutive? Does he need more Republicans
in the House or a Speaker with more IN
nmlted authority
''The Republican party can not
attack wrongdoing in high places without
disgracing many of its prominent mem
bers and it, therefore, uses opiates in
stead of the surgeons knife
For a generation the Republican par
ty has drawn its campaign funds from
the benefciaries of special legislation.
Privileges have been pledged and granted
in return for money contributed to de-
bauch elections. What can be expected
when official authority is turned over to
the representatives who first furnish the
sinews of war and then reimburse them
selves out of the pockets of the taxpay-
ers?"
only those are worthy to be intrusted
with leadership in a great cause who are
willing to die for it ~

Simple Tuberculosis Diagnosis.

DR.. Bourrille of Paris has established
a very simple and practical method by
means of which any one may diagnose a
case of tuberculosis at a stage earlier
than it is capable of being detected by the
ordinary clinical methods. 1t is to meas
ure the chest at extreme inspiration and
at extreme expiration. If the difference is
greater than / 1-6 inches the disease has
already gained a foothold. This was de-
termined by examining in this way thou
sands of women ard men who were seek
ing employment.

APPLE GROWERS PLAN A POOL.
Hope to Increase Profits and Lower
Price to Consumer.

A scheme of huge proportions and of
the utmost interest to the American peo-
pie, apple consumers in particular, was
launched at the Congress of American
Apple Growers. in session at the South
ern Hotel in st. Louis. The plan is to
organize all apple growers for the pooling
Of their product. The immediate objects
are to fight the railroads, withdraw pat
ronage from the jobbers or commission
merchants, cheaper the price of apples to
the consumer and raise the profit of the
grower. The last object, the growers
think, can be accomplished best by deal
ing directly with the public instead of
through middlemen. One part of the plan
has to do with the establishing of apple
depots and market houses in the larger
cities of the country. The depots are to
be owned and controlled by the associa-
ton, which will regulate the selling price
of apples.
