Do You Eyer
 Dream :?

Tn other words, did you ever, while sleeping, live in dream-land? We'll, if you never did, you're lucky, because it's mighty queer after dreaming of Indians going to kill you, to wake up and find it's only dream. But sometimes dreaming is delightful sensation, that is, while you're in it." But when you wake up you generally think to yourself that was a devil of take in.' For instance, if you dreamt all the shops were working overtime the past six months you d be surprised when you woke up. If you dreamt Congressman liliey was governor of Connecticut, or presi- dent of our country, or that he even won his case in Washington, D. C., regarding those internal boats, you'd have another think when you'd wake up. If you dreamt the trolley cars ever got a scrubbing or that the company hired one or two people to clean the car windows every night same as in all large cities, you'd likely have a brain storm when you woke up. Say, did you ever take notice of those car windows? If you never did--don't. But remember when we say OUR Tea. Coffee, Cocoa, Spice, Butter and Buttermilk is the best in the city for the price, it's not a dream, but our true pronunciamento, at

AGREE WITH JOHNSON.
Opinions of Congressman and Others
Prominent in the Political World

Representative Champ Clark said: eff
the Democratic party squares its toes to the
tariff question this year we are dead sure to
carry the House and will have great chance
to elect our candidate for the Presidency"
Senator McCreary of Kentucky: 81 believe
revision of the tariff should be the paramount
issue in the next Presidential campaign
Said Senator Taylor of Tennessee: "Gover-
nor johnson strikes the nail on the head when
he says the Democratic Convention must
adopt platform with tariff as the paramount
issue. Whenever the tariff is reformed prop.
erly trusts will no longer menace the country"
Other leading Democrats heard from ex.
pressed similar opinions. William F. Harrity
of Philadelphia said: II agree with Governor
johnson that the Democratic party must first
of all adopt platform with tariff as the para
mount issue.
Former Governor Douglass of Massachusetts
said: "The Democratic party should take a
strong position for immediate tariff reduction
on raw materials and foods, and especially for
the entire removal of all duties on trust pro-
ducts solids cheaper to foreigners than to
Americans"
Roger c. Sullivan, Democratic National
Committeeman from Illinois, said 81 am in
full accord with Governor johnson in his
views on the injurious effect of high protect
i've tariff and that it will be the paramount
issue in 1908. Corporations should be as
amenable to the law as private citizens"
John j. McGraw, National Committeeman
from West Virginia, said "Goveruor John.

THREE RUNAWAYS IN
THREE MINUTES.
Two Bussies Smashed. But Nobody
Seriously Hurt.

Three runaways in as many minutes was
Westmnster's record on Monday. Alfred
Spencer's horse, fully harnessed. but with no
vehicle attached, started the tournament by
cantering rapidly up Main street. Just above
the City Hotel it ran into and took front
wheel off buggy occupied by Messrs. Lewis
Green and Calvin Woolery, who live on the
Gorsuch road, near Hampstead. Mr.. Green
was thrown out and bruised about the face,
but not otherwise injured
When Mr.. Green went out he took the
lines, and the horse, spirited animal, tore
at wild pace down Main street, Mr.. Woolery
clinging with desperate energy to the buggy,
his task being rendered most difficult and
desperate through the loss of the lines and
the wrecked condition Of the vehicle. 1t was
such an experience as none of US would care
to have fail to our lot, and that he was not
killed nor seriously injured is marvellous.
Opposite the Union National Bank the
horse collided with buggy from which Mrs.
Tompkins had just alighted. Mr.. Woolery
was thrown out, but not badly hurt. Mrs.
Tompkins' horse then started up Main street,
and by this time the residents began to sit up
and take notice. Opposite Roses drug store
the animal ran upon the sidewalk, caught an
awning post between the shaft and wheel,
and separated himself from the buggy. He
galloped up the pavement short distance
and was finally caught. Both buggies will
spend some time in the repair shop, but all
three horses got off with slight bruises.

but there were a number of contributions sent
anonymously, and these hope to reach with
the kind aid of the press. l am sure all will

PARTICIPATION IN POLITICS
Every Man Should Be A Politician
To A Certain Extent.

DR.. Woodrow Wilson. president of Princeton
College, urges every man to be politician to
the extent of taking an active interest in public
affairs. He believes in political parties, but
believes, and correctly, that reform can best be
achieved from within rather than from without.
BE does not approve of the professional 're-
former" or. as he might have said, the chronic
kicker, nor of the constant attitude of fault
finding, but declares, what every intelligent
citizen knows, that the man who attends the
primaries of his party, its conferences and
councils and insists on being SIM things,
though not in Office, is in a far better position
to oppose mistakes, to promote reforms and
to push new ideas than when he is on the out
side.
zone of the things the nation lacks,'' he
says, sis large body of independent men
who will stay in politics for lifetime. The
independent man is going to know what is
going on, and whenever he gets a chance he
& going TO tell the public what he knows"
By independence" DR.. Wilson.does not mean
detachment from party, but courage ofopinion,
and his idea is in accord with the new and
progressive spirit in politics.
