"HAVIMG SEEN
THEY SEE NOT"

Having eyes they see not, and
having ears they hear not said
Christ nearly 1000 years ago. 1t
might we'll be applied to the repub-
lican party of today. Having eyes
the republicans see not the thou
sands of unemployed, and having
ears they hear not the cries of the
masses. Blinded by prejudice or
ignorance, they hold the democrats
responsible for all panic the coun-
try has known, Notwithstanding
the fact that the democratic party
has peen in power but eight years
since the civil war. The demo
cratic party had to bear the burden
of the panic of the early COS, al
though the trouble began before it's
regime, and the republican party
cannot expect to escape the respon-
sibility of the recent disturbance,
especially as it far surpasses in
consequences the earlier panic.
The record shows that the country
has passed through the greatest
panic in forty years. For the first
six months of 1908 there were 1850
failures, against 1924 in 1887, and
6528 in 1894, while the liabilities
were $178, SIS, 900, or SS,555, 900
more than in 1894, and $73, SIS, 900
than in 1S97.-Washington Demo

DEMOCRATIC RALLY
AND BRYAN CLUB
Good Attendance and Much
Enthusiasm Manifested

The first gun of the political
campaign from democratic stand
point was fired Saturday evening
at the court house. The meeting
was called for the purpose Of or
ganizing a Bryan club, and to have
A. J. Splawn and VIM. Goodyear
address the people. The forma-
ton of the club was easily consum-
mated and long list of names was
added to the roll. ]. N. STREET was
made president, o. W. Ball treas
urer, J. DIR. Mathews secretary.
Mr.. STREET, first introduced A. J.
Splawn, candidate for G overnor,
who proceeded to make short and
pointed address. He told the peo-
pie what he would do and what he
would not do if elected governor.
He was interrupted quite frequently
by the applause of the people. Mr..
Goodyear, when introduced, waded
into his subject in mastery and
eloquent manner, dealing in facts
and figures that carried conviction
to everyone present.
The meeting was we'll attended
and much interest and enthu-
siasm was manifested throughout
the session, and is generally re-
garded by all present as success.
The club will meet regularly from

NEW YORK WORLD
OUT FOR BRYAN

NEW YORK, Aug 2S.-The
World, which has been one of the
most bitter opponents of Mr.. Bryan
and whose proprietor also owns the
s.. Louis Post Dispatch, practical
" comes out for him as against
Taft in an editorial this morning.
Under the caption, Democracy
vs. Plutocracy,' The World says:
We are nearing the end of one
stage Of Rooseveltism. Its fruits
are before us. In the name of
false patriotism they are jingoism,
Imperialism, extravaganza, plutoc-
racy, Capitalization. They are
violence, usurpation, panic, de-
preston. They are contempt for
law, contempt for courts, contempt
for congress, contempt for the con-
sitution. All these have been
crvstalized in the machine-made
and corporation-fnanced candidacy
Of personally amiable and excel
lent proxy.
The World has sharply disagreed
with Mr.. Bryan and the democratic
party in the past. With a keen
appreciation of its own response
bility to the public, The World,
confronted on one side by Roose-
veltism and Roosevelt's proxy and
on the other by democracy and
Mr.. Bryan, has no hesitation in
saving that, within the limits of
true democracy, the democratic
ticket is entitled to the full demo-
cratic vote.

head about it if the temptation is
removed. He really prefers to
spend his money with his family
and is really and truly glad to be
able to do so. l have lived in sew
eral towns that voted out saloons
and never in one that voted them
back for longer than a year. The
contrast is too great.
From the standpoint of a mer-
chant, from a business considera-
ton purely and simply, l would
prefer dry town to do business in.

business standpoint
Bracken Bros, Polo, Illinois,
take the following view: We
hardly think ourselves competent
to answer your questions intelli-
gently, for the fact that we had no
saloons in Our town in forty years.
Perhaps you will recall, in your
recent local option fight, Polo was
used as a model business town
without the saloon revenue. AS
conditions are, we are satisfied to
do business in a town dry.

"wET' OR DRY"
TOWNS, WHICH ?
Effect OF License and Prohibition
On Business Of a Town

The following letters are copied
from the Dry Goods Reporter of
Chicago, and speak for themselves:
GALESBURG, ILL.,, Your favor
asking our opinion of the effect of
locale ption, has been received, and
in reply we desire to say that it is
too soon to answer your questions
intelligently. We have not had
long enough experience. We un-
derstand also that it is not personal
opinion on this question you are
seeking, but facts of results of the
new condition. Furthermore. there
are so many other elements affect
ing business this season, such as
politics, unfavorable weather, labor
and financial conditions, that one
who wants to be fair, finds still
more difficulty in answering your
questions.
We believe that dry town loses
its attractiveness to a degree, to
large class. 1t is also true that
the dry town is more attractive to
another large class, and we believe
there are advantages, ultimately,
accruing to the dry goods and kin
dred lines in the dry town.
From civic standpoint we note
the police report TEN arrests for
drunkenness for the month of June
this year Gin a dry year,, as COM
pared with THIRTY-SIx arrests for
the same cause last year. when the
town was wet.
Our April business showed
handsome gain over last year. May
showed slight increase, and June
a slight decrease. We think year
from now would be a better time
to intelligently answer your ques-
tons. YOnrs,

THE FARMERS DUTY IN
PRACTICAL POLITICS
A Letter That Ought to Set
Farmers to Thinking

1 ulO Sdy lIldt L WOulu IldNC
nothing more to do with practical
politics." because l had found so
much rottenness in them, but l
have decided that my determine
ton was wrong. 1t is the duty of
every American citizen to help
govern his country. The man who
shirks this duty can enter no COM
plant if things go wrong and he
becomes the prey of thousand
financial vultures. One should
not allow himself to be carried
away by the oratory of paid spell
binders, nor should he permit him
self to be influenced by previous
associations. He should quickly
look the situation over, acquire all
the information he can, sift it over
then vote for the man or party that
is nearest his ideal
There is some difference in the
platforms of the two leading par
ties. In the main they are very
much alike, but there are two
planks in the platform of one of
them that appeals strongly to the
farmer. One of them is the de-
mand that the banks shall put up
fund that will guarantee depositors
against all loss if bank should
fail. At present every depositor
must trust to the honesty of the
bank officials. If they speculate
with his money and fail, his money
is gone. 1t may he the sum he
has laid up for his old age; the sum
he has almost starved himself to
save for his wife and children if he
should be suddenly called; the sim
he has labored and sweat for to
buy for himself and family a home.
What untold woe bas been caused
by the failure of the banks. This
guarantee fund can be provided.
and it is only right that it should
be.
The other plank is a demand that
all kinds of wood and lumber be
placed on the free list Immediately.
Every farmer in the land is inter
ested in this. The party now III
power had fair chance to enact
both these measures into laws last
winter, as it had to give us several
other good laws, yet it refused to
enact any of them, though urged
to do so by thousands of its most
faithful supporters.
So far as the two leading candl-
dates are concerned, there is little
difference. Both are good, honest
men. and whichever one is elected,
we are satisfied will do his utmost

these matters over, and vote Tor

Qualified VOTER ON
THE PRIMARY LAW
Gives his Ideas Of the Law and
Advocates a Change

Ed. THE DAwN:-Please allow
me space in your paper to put be-
fore the people the evil and injus-
tee to the voter in the primary law
that the voter may thoroughly un-
derstand the meaning and uses that
can be made of it. Let us look at
the law from a fair and unbiased
standpoint.
First we find the law was made
to do away with the primary con-
ventions where the states were
made years before through prom
ises to certain people, to wait for
their turn to appear for said Office.
Now we are asked to vote for
our choice on such candidate that
may file with the officer in each
county to which said law desig-
mates. Now the law says your
choice Of candidates. Then the
law says at the primary you must
ask for the ticket which you ex-
pect to support in general.
We hear our talented men give
their opinions on this point gener-
ally. Some say it means at the
primaries only while others say it
means comirg election-Nov. 3rd.
Inc writer is Of the opinion that
the meaning of the law covers both
the primary and general election.
Inc law says your choice by call
ing tor a party ticket, the one you
expect to support.
AT the election four years ago
we md that there was only one in
nfty ballots cast that was straight,
Inc law says you must call for
your party ballot and that stickers

What the people want is a pri-
mary law giving them the freedom
of their choice.
We find many voters that work
for the best candidates irrespective
of party. In our primary law they
have no right to choice. Is it a
inst law? Is it constitutional to
deprive the people of their rights
in the primary and not in the gen.
eral election?
The people of free government
say NO! And, we shall vote tor
such candidates only as are IN ia

mary law so as to give the people
their right of choice of candidates
