Use ST Solitude.

are steadily absorbing the country

the cities that are growing at the
expense of the little village and
hamlete. And all toavoid solitude,
all to join in the reputed gay ETY. Of
the assem- bled mob that laughs ut
high heaven in the congested marts
of men. Yet solitude hath its uses.
At least a little of IT is good for us
all. 1t is worth while to get away
from men occasionally, 70 walk
with ourselves under the high
canopy, and to think upon our
selves ond our deeds of commission
and our sins of COMMISSIONS, To look
upon ourselves with the frank eyes
of honest introspection. to get our
bearings and To locate ourselves in
little world that revolves about US.
We may not come out of such a
process brightened-not if we are
weak men with abundant sins-we
may not feel cheered by what we
have seen of our failures To do and
to what We have wished; but it Is
better for us so. The prick Of our

Committee Suggestions.

A letter sent out to the Democratic
clubs of the country by National
Chairman Norman f. Mack states
that Democracy is better organized
now than ever before in its history,
that large majority of the people
are with Bryan. and all that is neces-
sary is TO have these people vote and
their votes counted. Suggestions
contained in the letter indicate that
the committee fears that crookedness
will be attempted by the opposing
parties on election day.
THE SUGGESTIONS:
a. A committee to be at the vot-
ing place from the moment the polls
are opened until closed.
90 A committee to see to it that
all those favorable vote on election
day.
go A committee to see to il that
the votes polled are correctly counted
and returned
t4) A committee to prosecute any
one attempting fraud or intimidation
before or on election day.
OF course, nothing of the kind will
be attempted except in States where
the result is doubtful, but if the Re
publicans could succeed in stealing
the electoral vote of even one Bryan
State. it might secure them victory.
Here in old Monroe, we have moth
ing to fear. All we have to do is
to poll the biggest vote we can,
and every one for Bryan.

Paper Made From cornstaIl<s.

A very practical use may soon be
found for the humble and homely
cornstalk if the chemists of the Blu
reau OF Forestry and of the Bureau of
Plant Industry have reached sound
conclusions. These learned men init
mate that they have solved the prob
lem of cheap paper without the use
of wood fiber. The possibilities of the
cornstalk have been under investiga-
ton for long time, and If it is now
demonstrated that the'stalk is a prac-
teal substitute for wood pulp in the
manufacture of paper, two problems
instead of one may be solved. The
use of wood pulp has resulted in
tremendous drain upon the forests re-
sources of the United States and Can
ada The substitution of the fiber of
the cornstalk would relieve the drain
upon the forests, and also provide the
farmer with a market for what has
heretofore been regarded as an agri
cultural pIoduct of little or no value.
The supply of cornstalks for the man
ufacture of paper ought to be equal
to all demands upon it for an indefi
mite period. The corn production of
the United States has exceeded in a
good year more than 1000, 900. 600
bushels. We suppose the experts of
of the Agricultural Department at
Washington could estimate without
difficulty how many millions of tons
of cornstalk fiber could be obtained
from a corn crop of 2, 900, 900, 900 bush
els. But until the chemists of the
Agricultural Department have made
further and searching tests it win not
be prudent to prophesy the early
abandonment of wood fiber for the
manufacture of paper, Baltimore
Sun.

The Reel-Foot Lake Tragedy.

Not intending to go into the merits
of the contention that brought about
the murder of Capt. Quintin Rankin,
by night riders, at Walnutlog, on
Reelfoot Lake. Tuesday, the Weekly
secs in the tragedy signs Of impend-
ing danger and public unrest.
The act was hideous, foul and COW
ardly, and being perpetrated in sec
ton where the preponderance OF
blood is purely American and of the
best lineage, it portends spirit OF
desperation among a citiZenry who
have hereto been regarded as the
ultimate saviors of this republic.
That the crime was complied by
bona flde inhabitants of that section;
that the courts had decreed the title
TO the disputed property to the muir
dered gentlemen, are facts well
known. Then, if law and order are
to prevail; if the courts are to be re-
spected and their DEGREES obeyed; if
the government is to protect life,
property and the pursuit of happiness,
it would seem that something must
be done and that speedily, to check
the gathering storm that threatens to
shake in anarchy the foundations of
government.
In this country, government rests
with the people. II the government
fails to protect; if the courts fail of
jnstice, then the people lose conf
dence in the whole fabric and achieve
those ends by taking the law into
their own hands and melting out ad-
justments. which usually partake of
the hideous and horrible.
The Reelfoot Lake incident is but
one of many that have transpired in
various sections of the country re-
Gently. Each year finds them of more
common occurrence. At first, they
were mobs lynching miserable
wretches for atrocious crimes. Now
they have expanded until they COM
prehend every grievance fancied or
real, and violence by organized bands
is threatened or executed in the CO.
ercion of parties to raise, ornot raise;
market, or not market; gin, or not
gin, the crops of the country.
Truly, the times are becoming
strenuous. The lawless spirit is be-
coming more evident and the powers
of government less able to restrain.
The world may he growing better
we believe it is, bat something must
be done to put stop to mobs, lynch
ings, and murders committed by or
ganixed bands. If electing Bryan will
do it, let as elect him.

I'VE have heard men, said Van
Wrinkle. that you think that we
want you to vote for Bryan. That is
. mistake. We hope as many as pos
sible will vote for Mr.. Taft. for we
are convinced that Bryan's election
will mean four years of business de-
preston. On the other hand, we
think Taft's election will mean pros
perity.
Don't think that anybody is going
to be discharged ifh votes for Bryan.
We simply want to impress upon you
that work viii be more plentiful if
Taft is elected
