Three systems Of Dust Laying.


Sixteen miles OF Boston streets are
under oil. sixteen miles under calcium
chloride. while one mile of Blue Hill avenue
is under tarvia. a preparation which
has Ions been made familiar to the public
by Commonwealth avenue in Newton and
other pieces of suburban highways. Opin-
ions differ as TO the relative advantage OF
these three systems Of dust laying, The
oil. by appealing to the eve, in contrast
with the calcium chloride, makes the users
of the highway considerably more aware
Of the warfare against dust than they
would otherwise be, and suggestion goes
far toward the mitigation OF all ills OF
which this is no exception. The watering
cart is apparently becoming "a back num-
ber." The amount of labor involved lr
sprinkling water. with the short time which
It serves It's purpose, has made that a
highly expensive form Of dust laying for a
modern urban community, and the proba-
bilities are that before many years It will
be entirely superseded.

stop them from voting for democratic

they not concede the populists who do
not want to vote for Bryan the same

"sRALL THE PEOPLE RULEi"


In announcing his speaking program
Mr.. Bryan has decided to make the
question, "Shall the people ruler the
paramount issue in the campaign Of
1908. He will contend that Predatory
Wealth" and the Vested interests" and
other more or less intangible windmills
with which democratic Don Qulxotes
c~oniure have the country by the throat
and are slowly strangling It to death.
Convinced Of the existence of this dire
full situation, Mr.. Bryan appoints him
self champion of the people and pro-
poses TO have them restored to their
rights as active and star participants
in the affairs of government.
Fortunately for the people, their
right to rule is guaranteed to them by
the trainers of the constitution. They
can rule in but one way and that is
by the exercise OF their right Of suf-
frage. The ballot, whose freedom is
vouchsafed by the constitution, is the
instrument used by the people to en-
force the character Of rulership they
want. The country's history shows
that the people have used this means
Of self-rule everywhere except In the
south, the section from which Mr..
Bryan draws his chief and almost sole
support. The people do not rule in
the south. Proof of this is found In
the census reports Of population and
in the election returns. The follow
ing figures, taken from the official re-
ports, show the number of white citi-
zens of voting age, the number of
negroes of voting age and the vote
cast at the polls in the presidential
election in 1900:

RrNnMINATED.

The public may not yet realize IL,
but II Is nonetheless a fact. that Gov
ernor Sheldon and all HIS associate
state officers who are filling out their
FIRST terms, with the exception OF the
railway commissioner, are at this mo-
ment to all practical intents and pur-
poses renominated as candidates on
the republican ticket to succeed them
selves.
Under the Nebraska primary law an
unopposed nomination filing is equiv
alent to a nomination and in the a 5
Of the governor and his associates, just
mentioned, Il has been so generally
conceded that they are entitled on
their records each to a second term
that no one within their W party has
felt warranted in seeking the nomina-
ton even to lay the foundation for
future claims.
So far as the state ticket is con-
cerned in Nebraska, the issue Is al
ready made up Irrespective who may
be nominated by the opposing parties
to make the race. The issue is
whether the administration Of state
affairs by Governor Sheldon and his
associates in the state house and the
thorough redemption of platform
promises by the last republican legis-
lature shall or shall not be endorsed.
II the people of Nebraska appreciate
honesty and economical state govern
ment and straightforward fulhllment
of party obligations they will continue
the republicans in control. Only IL
they want to deny efficient service the
reward that is due it and to set nc
higher premium upon faithful per-
Torrance Of duty and s%crupulous re-
demption Of promises than they put
upon faithlessness, extravaganza ano
reputation of sacred pledges, will they
wilfully retire Governor Sheldon and
his republican associates who have
been renominated.

The national corn exposition promises
to be the largest and best display OF the
kind ever made in the United States. II
is scheduled for Omaha during the first
two weeks In December. The management
announces that there will be no less than
5000 exhibits. The premium awards
amount to about $4,000. Floor space APP
proximating 10000 square feet has been
secured for Il e Nsr Every corn-produc-
ing section OF our country will be repre-
scented In the numerous exhibits. 1t is
proposed to show all the uses OF the corn
plant and cereal for food and drink for
man and beast.
Corn is the great American cereal. II
has been the main food plant for families
and their domestic animals ever since the
first discovery OF our country. Its produce
ton has Increased year after year, and
the demand for II has extended to the ut
termost parts OF the earth. The estimate
Of the crop, as given by the bureau OF
statistics OF the Department Of Agriculture,
is 100, 9s, 900 acres for the year 1903. That
represents an increase of i,OS,OOO acres
over the preceding year. II is an indi-
cation OF the great volume OF corn re-
CURED to supply the demand Of the
people for a season.
It is proper that the American people
do homage to the corn crop. No other
plant has the hold upon the people that
corn has and always will have. II can
be used for so many purposes that few
h~ousekeepers would know how 10 get
along without some of the numerous
forms OF corn food in the home. II
has assisted in establishing thousands
Of farms and building as many homes. II
furnishes the fur DIS for good bank ac-
counts and makes the producers indie
pendent. Let the American people meet
together and honor KIM Corn for its
wonderful works IN advancing civilization
and establishing peace and prosperity.

4 REAL FRIEND OF LABOR.

JOAh Ab1AN
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, has become the chairman OF the
trade agreement department OF the
National Civic Federation, thereby
entering upon a work which promises
to produce the greatest good results
for his associates in organized labor.
Mr.. Mitchell has passed through the
fires of many trying experiences In his
relations to disputes between employ
ers and employees and his appointment
to his present position Is proof that he
has secured and held the confidence OF
both parties to the controversies
When asked If he would take an active
part in the coming presidential cam
paign, Mr.. Mitchell replied;
have no intention OF doing so, notwith
standing all reports to the contrary. In all
probability these reports arose because
was talked of as a candidate for governor
of Illinois and for vice president. The
holding OF or being a candidate for pont-
lcal offices never appealed to me and viii
devote my time to the duties of my new
position. 49," I am not talking politics,
will not give any opinions as to who Is
likely to be elected and want to avoid
being put into a position where It might
be assumed l was goipg to take part in
the campaign, which l am not.
Mr.. Mitchell has already proved
himself a friend to labor and he will
do his former associates a still greater
service by adhering to his determine
ton to take no part in the political
controversies. He has not been n
part labor leader and three parts poll
tician, but a pursued a %singleness of
purpose in working for the interests
of labor, on labor's merits and not
through any political influence or
power. He has wanted labor to re-
ceive what was legitimately coming to
1t and his appeals to that end have
commanded the attention and favor
able consideration of employers. He
insists that trade agreements are bind
ing obligations on both sides and in
every controversy where these obliga-
lions were respected the differences
have been solved without friction. 1t
is the plan of the Civic Federation to
extend this work and Mr.. Mitchell is
unq~uestionably the proper man for the
undertaking.
Labor statistics of former years show
an unusually large number of men out
of employment during the busiest
times, due largely to strikes and lock-
outs. It is Mr.. Mitchellhs plan to pre-
vent this economic waste, hurtful alike
to employer and employed, by a sys-
TEN of trade agreements, extending
over a period of years. THE collec-
tive bargain" says Mr.. Mitchell, lis a
recognition Of the interdependence OF
labor and capital. 1t gives to the
workingman an interest in the success
full conduct of business and guarantees
to employers and employees alike Ions
periods of Industrial peace The
prompt acceptance by employers OF
this plan of Cancellation is in itself a
victory for labor and holds a promise
Of lasting peace in the industrial
world. Mr.. Mitchell has placed him
self in position to do much more fol
the cause OF industrial peace than he
could have possibly accomplished by
mixing politics with his efforts on be-
half of labor.

Attempts 60 Draw Political Glass Ltns

Washington NsN.
There are seven political parties in this

oppressed newer or wood and drawer OF

But such was the way OF the demagogue
before Clecn and Clodius. The fact Is that

certain to succeed as he ls to live. OF th(
millions Of prosperous Americans now Iva
ing most Of them were poor bSys. II IL

true in politics as II Is in agriculture, and
today most OF our successful public men.
we're poor boys. IL is true in law and in
medicine. No doubt q big majority OF the
American clergy were poor boys.
only a fen days ago we saw a list of
prominent railroad presidents In the United,
States and nineteen of them were grad
uated from the, schools OF poverty, self
denial, self-rellance and Common sense.
There lie little doubt that a large majority
OF the bsnk presidents OF this country
began at the bottom, OF the millionaires
a big majority we're born to poverty ard
toll.
Yet It is sought to array the poor against
the lich-to separate capital and labor into
two hostile camps. II woul be a positive
calamity IL either capital or labor adhered
to a single political party and cast its
solid vote TOR one political ticket, and It is
will the liveliest satisfaction that we dis
cover many very rich men in MIR. Bryan's
camp and immense numbers OF labor ng
men in Mr.. Taft's camp. Capital and Ia
Dor, as such. should keep out OF politics.
So should the farmer as a class. so, too,
should the negro. Let every man infol m
himself as to things and men political and
choose according TO his Judgment and his
conscience. That was the fortunate policy.
Of a century and this is no time a
change It.
