Here is a curious feet:
Your demand for Van Camps has raised the price Of
the best Michigan beans 25%6 in three months.
Common beans cost about what they did cost. The
advance has been in those hand-picked beans-those
white, plump, ~fulLgrown beans-which we demand for
Van Camps.
Never before did so many people want such a grade of
beans. Yet, with all this advance, we've not raised the
price to you.
There is a reason when a dish like this springs into
such demand. And that reason applies to you.
We are now baking more beans-by several times over
than any other concern in the world.
That is solely because we are baking the best beans,
and millions of people know it.
A short time ago, a large part of the people were bak-
ing their beans at home.
They knew baked beans as a homely dish, mushy and
broken. The top beans were crisped-the middle beans
less than half baked.
That was because you baked in dry heat, and did not

We bake in live steam, SO that all beans are baked

Take Your Choice.

Curtis. the Republican emissary
discovered amost wonderful political
condition in this section during his
recent visit. He says one proml-
nent Democrat asserted that in MS
opinion it was essential for the well
fare of the Democratic party to
eliminate Bryan, and the only way
that he cou'd be eliminated was to
let MIN be defeated d third tine Tor
the presidency. Then, he thought,
Bryan would get out of the way and
give some one else a chance. Another
gentleman of prominence he says, ex
pressed the opinion that it would be
better for the South to have a Repub-
lican president for many years to
come, because if Democrat were
elected the party that section
would split on the distribution OF
patronage. Now Southern white
men stand together on the great ma
tional question and run their cam
paiens purely upon local issues, de-
voting their entire attention to mat
ters affecting the welfare of the
communities. Curtis winds up by
saving that no man in American his
torv---not even Thomas Jefferson or
Andrew Jackson---was ever able to
dominate the Democratic party as
Bryan does today. There you are.
OF the three opinions expressed you
can take your choice.

WHY They Want Him.

The New York World makes a
first page feature, with misleading
headlines, of the fact that a proml-
nent Swedish newspaper, which is
Republican in its politics, advocates
the nomination of Gov. johnson, OF
Minnesota, for President. Inc
World states in it's headline that the
Swedish paper Jumps its traces,
declaring in favor of the governor.
The only quotation from the paper
# submits is the expression of an
opinion that should Governor john
son be elected President "he will
show himself both worthy and tit.
The Charleston Post says the
fact that a Republicans paper prefers
Governor johnson to Mr.Bryan as
the Democratic nominee for presl-
dent is neither new nor startling IN
formation. Nearly every Republl-
ian newspaper in the United States
prefers Johnson's nomination to
Bryan's, because they want to elect
Republican and are looking for the
weakest opponent for their candl,
date they can find. The World would
only need to look around its own
neighborhood to find Republican pa
per's supporting Governor Johnson
for the Democratic nomination Tor
President.
"The New York Sun, the greatest
"orean of the interests" in the
United States, is---with the except
ion of the World itself and The
Charleston News and Courier the
greatest protagonist of the Minneso-
ia Governors candidacy. Why the
support of the Republican press
should commend Mr.. j Johnson to the
Democrats we can not quite argue
out" The Post deals a solar plexus
blow to the Worlds little diversion
in favor of Gov. Johnson, There
never was a time in the history OF
the Democratic party when the Re-
publican "organs" took so much in
terest in it.

party, and will not belong to
theirs" He also spoke of the posi-
bility Of "new parties"
On the 14th instant Senator Fora
ker made a speech in the Senate on
the Brownsville affair, in the course
of which he severely critisized Pres
ident Roosevelt and defended the
negro soldiers whom the President
drummed out of the army in disgrace
without a trial. 1t was a great
speech. and its effect on the negro
vote in the States Of the North and
Middle West may be to defeat the
Republican national ticket.
These recent utterances Of Fora
ker show that the breach between
himself and the Roosevelt faction is
liable to be permanent, and that he
may be expected to lead a movement
at the polls against any man whom
the Roosevelt faction may force up
on the Republican party. In such a
case Foraker would have among his
followers, not only most Of the ne
groes n but many of the old Union
soldiers and a large class of reac-
tionaries. In other words, he would
have the brains and the backbone OF
the old Republican party, and the
fight between the old and the new
Republicans would be beautiful and
interesting.

Bishop Capers.

There was no man closer to the
hearts of the people of this State
nor held in ripper affection than the
good bishop, gallant soldier who
last week passed into the light
whereby he will see his Maker face
to face" says the Charleston Post.
For forty years a Priest. more than
one-third of the time bishop of the
diocese of South Carolina, Ellison
Capers was, necessarily, in very near
communion with the souls of the
men and women of his church. But
before he put on the cassock of the
priest he had worn the uniform OF
the soldier, and ere he took the Gro
zier he had welded the sword.
Gas brigadier general in the army
Of the Confederacy he was captain
and comrade to gallant men. who,
DESPITE his long service as minister
of the Gospel, remembered him ever
as the soldier of the sixties. To the
end of his days he was General Capers
to his old war comrades. And still
the story of his service is not told.
At a citizen he wrought for thegood
of his people as bravely as he fought
in the field aad a; devotedly IS ne
served in the sanctuary. AS educa-
tor and public official he inculcated
and illustrated the highest ideals
and set an example inspiring of emu
lation.
"And 50 the word that he had
gone from the haunts of men to
those higher realms upon which his
thoughts had so long been fixed and
to which his steps had surely led,
was a signal of sorrow to many
hearts. Grief at his passing is not
alone to the members OF his churcn
whom he has shephered, but to the
whole community of South Carolina,
which esteemed him one of her mobiles
sons, for he had entered into almost
every relation Of life and had touch.
ed upon practically every phase OF
human association and the way he
had walked was the better and the
brighter for passing.
Like that other apostle and bish-
op Of an elder day, well might it bf

Better Than Their Fathers.

Somebody has compiled and is
publishing the poems and some Sc
lected prose writings Of Theodore
Tilton. The most conspicuous and
prominently mentioned verses are
under the caption, "The Fading Of
the Mavflower." 1t is said to con-
trast vividly the simple life, sturdy
integrity, high ideals and godliness
of the Pilgrim fathers with the lux
ury, the excesses, the money mad
ness and the loose morals of today.
The Richmond News-Leader says
evidently, Mr.. Tilton had not read,
or had forgotten, intimate chroni-
cles of the Pilgrims. We get our
impressions Of them, fortunately,
from a few very earnest. strong and
beautiful characters who were lead
ers. Among the rank and file of
the early settlers were some of the
most audacious inveterate and
heartless scoundrels who ever lived.
They cheated and betrayed other
each and robbed the unhappy Indians
around them as remorselessly as the
Wall street pirate of today shear
q T HI o.
the incautious lambs and cut each
others throars as rival diaries of
the early settlement in the stock
jobbers, now do. The preserved
diaries of the early settlements in
the vicinity of Boston show pretty
steady and consistent fractures Of
every one of the Ten Commandments
and customs and methods which to-
day would land those engaging in
them in jail. The truth is that the
standards of morality today are
higher than they ever have been in
the history of the world an d more,
faithfully adhered to. The newspa-
pers are filled with crime but when
we come to consider details and ana
lyzef the facts we find that the pro-
portion of criminals to the whole
population is smaller than it ever
has been and is decreasing steadily.
The descendants Of the Pilgrims and
first settlers are better people than
their ancestors. Those who under
take to contrast unfavorable the pre-
sent with the past ignore or over
look the facts Of history or compare
the worst of our day, who are the
most conspicuous. with the best of
the old day, who have survived the
passing of the years and whose
memories live because thay deserve
life. 1t is one of the fortunate at
tributes of the human race that as
we go on we forget our crooks and
and rascals and fools and
carefully remember our great and
good and clean.
