Township Organization

What it means. The session
laws of 1895 provide that any
township; or parts of townships, or
two or more townships can organize
under one organization. This pro-
vides where townships are divided
by lakes, rivers or mountains. The
necessary qualifications for an Or
ganization are twenty-five bona fide
settlers.
The town officers shall consist
of three town supervisors, town
clerk, town treasurer, town assessor
and town road supervisors and
they shall attend to all the bust
ness within their Jurisdiction.
Citizens of Stevens county, con-
slider the above question and on
the Ord of November, 1903, vote for
township organation.
Farmers should vote for town
ship organization, because
1 Economy. All business will
be done by the town voters in town
meetings, not at the court house.
No chance for graft
2 Local self-government. Power
of officials is reduced to a mini
mum; voters attend to their own
business.
3 Separated from city. Now the
city elects it's street commissioner,
and also elects our engineer (sur-
veyor). The city elects it's council
and also elects our county commits
sioners. When we adopt township
organization each townshid attends
to it's own business. Hence the
city will have no voice in country
affairs. See?
Spring elections. Now our
rural officials are elected at the
time of the state and national cleo
TONS This leads to a log rolling
and also draws attention away
from local candidates. With town.
ship organization our town meet
ings for the election Of officers will
be held in March, to the great ad-
vantage of everyone except the
politicians.
5 History. In all newly settled
western states the county plan is
adopted at first, but as the county
settles up county by county adopts
the township plan. About 1000
counties in 20 states have changed
from county to township; none
from township to county.
City people should vote for town
ship organization because
1 1t will smash the court house
ring. The court house ring here
as everywhere is always meddling
and interfering with city business,
but when we have adopted town
ship organization there will be no
court house ring.
2 Economy. With the passing
of the court house ring the general
road levy and general bridge levy
will be used for their proper pur
poses, and not for keeping up a
machine, and we can devote them
to putting in 25 miles of good road
each year.
The farmers want it. While
the township form of organization
will be a great benefit to the city
people as shown above, still it
means great deal more to the
farmers Just because we farmers
are unanimously in favor of it, but
cannot adopt it without your votes,
we want you to be sure to mark
your ballots Gust below the names
of candidates at the November
election. A GRANGER.
Election is but three weeks

us it more expensive to keeps Gas
Range in repair than Coal Ranger"
No. The wearing parts of gas range are
the oven Innings, which, if kept clean and
frequently wiped with CREASED cloth, it will
last foryears. Should the Innings become worn
out, they can be replaced at small expense.
The wearing parts of coal range are the
CRATE and the friedrich Innings, which, even

How can BrOil Steaks or Chops in
the oven Of Gas Ranger"

Use the Broiling Oven.
Trim most of the fat or suet from the chops
or steak, place on rack in lower oven. Turn
the meat occasionally, but do not put fork in
the lean part.
Never put the meat in cold pan. The
juices will be drawn out as the pan heats and
the meat will be tough and poorly favored.
Season it after it is taken from the pan.
This method is called Oven Broiling.
Be sure the oven is properly heated before
placing meat in it to cook, This insures the
fine juicy flavor so desirable.

How Can Make Toast On the
Gas RANGE ?"
Use the VULCAN ToASTER designed for use
over Top Burner. tits made with inner cone
or Heater distributor. Toasting is done by
radiation and not by direct heat.
TOasters for sale at office of the company.
Price only 80 cents.

"In Lighting the Top Burners of My Gas
Range, the Flame Sometimes Burns
Back in the Pipe, with Slight Report
and a DisaGreeble OdOr. How Can
This be Prevented ?"
When you turn on the gas, allow an instant
for it to I'LL the burner before applying the
match This will prevent the lighting back'
which you describe, and which is caused by
the gas igniting in the air mixer before it
reaches the burner
If the difficulty continues when these direc-
tiOns are followed notify the gas company, as
the burners may need adjusting. No charge
for the inspectors visit.
The weekly true Democrat., 1908-04-17

why is it so important to heat Gas
RANGE Oven before putting in anything
to cOOk?"
1t is not more important to heat the Gas
Range oven before using than it is to heat the
coal oven. The oven should be hot go that
cooking will begin at once Ten minutes is a
good average allowance for gas range. This
method involves no waste of gas, because if the
article be put in a cold oven the cooking will
take so much longer, and the results will not
be as good. For example--if steak is placed
in the oven before it is properly heated, it
will become tough, poorly favored, and will
not brown.

Purchase Vulcan Gas Range,
And you will not have cause to regret it.
Food is easier digested when cooked on a Gas

How Can / Keep My Gas Range in Good
Condition and Free From Rust ?"

Once day the burners, broiIer pan, oven
racks and removal drip pan under the top
burners should be washed, and the burners, as
well as the rest Of the range wiped with a
CREASED cloth, or small piece of suet wrapped
in cheese cloth. AN of this work should be
done while the range is warm from use, so
that it will dry quickly and readily absorb the
the grease.
If the small holes in the burners become
clOgged they should be cleaned out with a
piece of wire. Never apply blacking to the
burner
The weekly true Democrat., 1908-04-17
what Causes the Top Burner of My Gas
Range to Burn Yellow and BlaCken
the Cooking Utensils

The burners are either clogged or out of ad-
justment Try cleaning the small holes in the
burners with piece of wire, removing the
dust or grease which may be Obstructing them
If this does not remedy the trouble, notify the
gas company, as the burner may need adjust
ment.
This condition should not be allowed to con-
tinue, as yellow flame not only blackens the
cooking utensils, but decreases the heating
value of the gas Best results are obtained
from feathery blue fame.
The weekly true Democrat., 1908-04-17

"Can the Gas Water Heater be used
when there is fire in the Coal Ranger"
Yes. This appliance heats the water in the
circulating boiler independently of either gas
range or coal range, and may be used, if nee
essary. to supplement the. coal range.
The weekly true Democrat., 1908-04-17

In Lighting the Oven of My Gas Range,
Should the Gas Be Turned On to the
Oven Burners Before Lighting the Pilot
Light ?"
No, the pilot light should be turned on and
lighted before gas is turned on to oven burners.
When you have satisfied yourself that the
oven burners are lighted, turn of the pilot light.
The oven door should always be kept open
while lighting oven burners, in order to pre-
vent the accumulation of gas in ovens before
match is applied.

Dakota City, Neb., Oct. 2L.-Frank
Walker, a gentiemanly appearing man
with a business turn which won conf
dence readily, is wanted here by nearly
two score corn huskers, who worked
for him for 10 days and got nothing out
Of it but their board. The local hotel

to collect q $40 board bill. He is also
supposed to have stolen a gun. There

with more interest than would attach
to a total stranger.
Walker with his wife and two small
children came here o three weeks
ago with a single rig n horse, put
ting up at the leading hotel. A few
days later he made a contract with e.
Fl. Gribble n II. E. Brown, extensive
farmers, to husk their corr for 31a
cents a bushel, he to board his own
the owner of the corn furnishes the
board.
Wednesday afternoon the wife and
children took a ride with the horse
and buggy and did not return. Friday
Walker collected $50 on his contract
with Mr.. Gribble. Saturday was pay
day, but there was no one to do the
paying. Walker had disappeared. The
only charge on which he could be held
If caught is for stealing the gun, and
he may have disposed of that. but If he
had been found Saturday night when
the men whom he had beaten found
out that they a been fim-flammed,
he would have been roughly handled.
Walker had ever zone so far as to Dor
row $40 from one of the men working
for him and this was not repaid.

SUPREME COURT SAYS
BILLlK MUST HANG

Washington, D. c., Oct. 21.--The SUI
preme court OF the United States to-
day dismissed for want of Jurisdiction
the appeal of Herman Billik, under
sentence Of death on a charge OF mur-
der In Chicago. from the decision OF
Judge Lands denying Bilik's petition
for a writ of habeas corpus.
History of Case.
Chicago, Oct. 21.-Herman Billik, a
Bohemian fortune teller, was tried and
convicted Of poisoning to death Mary
Vrzal, % a of age. and was ac-
cused of similarly causing the death
Of five other members Of the Vrzal
family. Mrs. Rose vrza;. the mother Of
Mary VrZal, committed suicide when
she was arrested as an accomplice OF
Biliik. The deaths in the Vrzal family
all occurred within a period OF two
years.
The testimony at the trial, which
was held before Judge A. G. Barnes,
showed that Billik went to the Vrzal
residence with his alleged charms and
that the remarkable series Of deaths
followed. The alleged motive was life
insurance money in each case. the
amount varying from 500 to $625. AS
a resul Of the trial Billik's punish
ment was fixed at death.
Near Hanging Four Times.
Since hen he has been within the
shadow of the gallows four times, h
first date of the hanging having been
fixed as October II, 1907, and the other
dates November 8, 1907, April %, 1908,
and June IL, 1908. The postponementa
in each case were to permit further
investigation, it having been charged
that Btllik's conviction was the result
of perjured testimony due to sugges-
ton and intimidation on the part Of the
prosecuting attorneys and police. This
charge was made through the pulpit
of St. Mary's church by the Rev. p. j.
O'Callaghan, superior of the Paulist
Fathers in this city. Principally
through the efforts of Father O'Cal-
laghan an affidavit was recently made.
by one of the principal witnesses
against Billik. Jerry Vzral 18 years old,
a survivor of the Vzral family, that
testimony against Billik by the affiantI
was wholly untrue.

Duties Of Next Administration.

The function of the next administra-
tion is not to be spectacular in the en-
actment of great statutes laying down
new codes of morals or asserting a new
standard of business integrity, but it's
work lies in the details Of furnishing
men and machinery to aid the hand of
the executive in making the supervision
of the transactions (of corporations) so
close. so careful, SO constant, that the
business men engaged in it may know
promptly when they are transgressing
the line of lawful business limitations,
and may be brought up standing when
ever this occurs, and may be prosecuted
when the violations of law are fragrant
and defiant, and promptly restrained
and penalized.-Judge Taft, at st.

LET'S CAT OUT OF BAG.
German Manufacturers to Flood
America With Goods if Bryan
Should bo E1octod

aoOoS IL @
Should be Elected.
The following cablegram to the New
York Sun under date Of Oct. 3 shows
what German manufacturers expect to
do should Bryan be elected:
Berlin, Oct. 3.-The g%ladiatorial
fight between President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Bryan has suddenly aroused Ger
man interest in the American Presi-
dental campaign and columns are now
devoted to extracts from the mammoth
campaign documents Of the combatants.
German hopes of Democratic Uictory
hare been reUiUed and many merchants
and manufacturers haze suddenly
groom optimistic about a revision of the
tariff which UiU enable them to flood
America 1Cith their goods"
The German manufacturers evidently
are shrewd observers. If Mr.. Bryan
should be elected and his downward
revision" doctrine with ultimate free
trade be carried into effect we would
soon be flooded with German-made
goods Of every description, and fac
tories could go out of business.
Protective Tariff Theory.
On the other hand, should Mr.. Taft
be elected our friends the German man
ufacturers would not be able to break
through the wall of protection which
would be maintained for the benefit of
American labor.
The protective-tariff theory as de-
fined in the Republican platform, and
as adhered to by Mr.. Taft, is that in
order to maintain high wages in this
of such duties as will equal the differ
ence between the cost of production at
home and abroad, together with a rea-
sonable profit to American industries"
Mr.. Taft points out that the cost of pro-
duction is determined chiefly by these
three elements: '"The cost Of material.
the cost of labor and the interest on
capital, or what is known as the manu-
facturer's profit"
"The normal operation Of protection,
where competition has free scope" Mr..
Taft asserts, sis to lower the cost Of
producing and so to reduce prices to
the public. AS a consequence, after ten
years operation Of a particular sched-
ule, it ought to result that the cost of
production in this country is made less,
and therefore that the difference be-
tween the cost of production in this
country and abroad is less, and there
fore that the duty ought to be reduced"

Reasons That Are sim Good.

ri am sending Taft to the Philip
pines" said President Mckinley, "be,
cause he is the broadcast and the most
unselfishly brave man l know, and be.
cause he will carry the spirit Of the con-
stitution Of the United States in his
very blood" These seem to be excellent
reasons also for sending Taft to the
White House. The American people
will undoubtedly show on November 3
that they have come to that conclusion
