DAISY HEADS.

Art embroidery shops are always
seeking Tor new things to aid their
patrons. and now they are turning out
daisy heads. The petals Of these are
made Of white braid, but their hearts
are Of gold. They are sold by the
dozen or half dozen, and one appHoues
them on 20 tabIecovers or whatever
else strikes the tickle fancy. The stems
are done in the outline stitch by the
embroider herself.
Many good designs may be made and
quickly finished with the assistance OF
the dainty flowers. They are so pretty,
indeed. that they need no stems. IL the
daisies are satisfactorily arranged.

A folding hatbox OF cardboard which
you can slip into the bottom OF your
trunk is a great convenience for a girl
on her vacation.
All during the visit ones hat can be
kept fresh and free from dust.
Guest room closets are apt not to be
over large. and the proper care of a big
hat IS a question.
These boxes are covered with a flow
cred paper and make a dainty as well
as a useful gift.
To make one Of the boxes, cut two

"Afraid Of the Light

the country, all of which are to be called
for him, and every one of them is a con-
tribution to the conscience fund.-
Then the Tribune said: "Mr. Carnegie
made his money in a magnificent way,
but he should never forget that he made
it through the undue favoritism of the
government of the United States. Owing
to the discrimination practiced in his
favor by the tariff, he was enabled to
amass fortune of 5000, 100000 or more,
most of which came out of the pockets or
his countrymen through the operation OF
unequal laws. Much has been said OF
the benefit arising to the worklngmen
from the establishment of the Carnegie
works. The benefcent tariff system per-
mitted the works to survive and flourish,
but there are some people who have not
forgotten the Homestead strike, nor the
outrageous manner in which the work
ingmen were treated at the time by en-
ployers whose brutality has seldom been
exceeded in the history of labor aglta-
tons"
The Republican party has, in every
presidential campaign and congressional
campaign, been financed by the men TO
whom they have granted what the CHI
cago Tribune calls undue favoritism.
Does any one imagine that the tariff
barons and trust magnates will withhold
contributions from the Republican cam
naign fund this year? Does any one be-
1ieye that the Republican party will ever
revise the tariff in the interest of the
consumers so long as it obtains its cam
paign funds from the tariff barons!
Is anyone surprised that the Repub-
lican managers are afraid of the light!

FROM THE COMMONER
MIR. BRYAN'S PAPER

publican managers have sought to recover
some lost ground. They print the names
of two contributors, Andrew Carnegie
and Mrs. Russell Sage, and they announce
that they will make other contributions
public AFTER THE ELECTION.
An Associated Press dispatch tells the
story in this way:
New York, Oct 9-The fact that An
drew Carnegie has contributed $4,000
to the campaign fund of the Republican
cause was announced to-day by State
Chairman Woodruff. Mr.. Woodruff also
announced that Mrs. Russell Sage has
contributed $1,000 to the same fund.
There have been no other large contri-
buttons from individuals. Mr. Woodruff
said, but small sums are coming in from
various sources. George r. Sheldon,
treasurer of the national committee, when
asked about the contributions, declined to
discuss them, saying that he would pub
lish a LIST OF ALL THE CONTRI-
BUTTONS MADE TO THE REPUBLI-
CAN COMMITTEE AFTER ELEC-
TON"
If the Republican managers are willing
to make Carnegie's contribution public,
why HOT give the uduleS OIL OulleF uedNy
contributors? The explanation is that
Mr.. Carnegie has given away so many
libraries out of the money which he has
obtained through undue favoritism' at
the hands of the government that the
Republican managers rely upon his pop
ularity" among the people to prevent the
fact of his contribution doing injury.
But let it be remembered that Andrew
Carnegie has good reason to contribute to
Republican campaign fund and we need
go no farther than to Republican news
paper for proof.
Several years ago it was reported that
Andrew Carnegie had offered to pay $780,
100000 for the Philippine Islands, pro-
vided he was permitted to assure the Fill
pinos that they would be given their in
dependence.
Commenting upon this story, the Chi
cago Tribune said that the steel mag
nate "has tried the patience of his friends
severely in some of his late bids for no.
toriety." 1t expressed the opinion that
Mr. Carnegie is constantly posing, and
said "he scattered libraries throughout

The First Voter,

Young man, great responsibility at
taches to your first vote. AS you begin,
so you are likely to continue. The mo-
mentum that carries you into a party at
the beginning of your political life is
apt to keep you in that party unless some
CONFUSION shakes you out of it. Start
right, and in order that you may start
right, examine the principles of the par
ties and the policies which they advo-
cate.
There are two great party organlza-
tons in the United States, one fifty years
old, and the other more than a century
old. The Republican party has been in
power almost uninterruptedly for more
than half a century and under its reign
abuses have grown up which threaten the
perpetuity of the government and endan-
ger our civilization. So great are these
abuses that Republican reformers are
now pointing out that something must be
done-and what can be done? The first
thing is to undo the things that have
been done, and the party to undo these
abuses is not the party which has done
them, but the party which has protested
against these abuses and pointed out rem
edies.
The Republican party has turned the
taxing power over to private individuals
it has allowed monopolies to grow up
and assume control of the industries of
the country by granting privileges by law
and by giving immunity to the large vlo-
lators of the law; the Republican party
has permitted the fortunes of the preda-
tory rich to become so large that govern
ment is corrupted, politics debauched and
business polluted.
The Democratic party proposes to
withdraw the taxing power from private
hands, to so legislate as to make pri-
vate monopoly impossible, and to enforce
the law without discrimination. 1t pro-
poses to protect legitimate wealth and
punish those who attempt to plumber the
public for private gain. On which side
do you stand, young man? Are you with
the masses in their effort to restore the
government. to it's old foundation and
make it a government of the people, for
the people and by the people, or are you
with the Republican leaders in their eff
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1908-10-23

fort to perpetuate the party in power by
selling immunity in return for campaign
contributions?
There are always two parties in the
country, and one is necessarily nearer to
the people than the other. In this coun-
try the Democratic party is nearer to
the people than the Republican party.
1t leaders have more faith in the people
and are more anxious to keep the govern
ment under the control of the people.
Take the election of United States Sena-
tors by the people as test The Demo
Gratis want to give to the voters a chance
to elect and to control their representa-
tives in the United States Senae. The
Democratic party in the House of Repre-
sentatives passed the first resolution for
the submission of the necessary constitu-
tional amendment. They did this eight
years before any Republican Congress
did it. The Democratic party has thrice
demanded this reform in its national
platform. The Republican party has not
done so. Why do Democratic leaders
insist upon this reform and Republican
leaders oppose it? There can be but one
answer-the Democratic party is nearer
to the people than the Republican party.
Young man, will you stand with the peo-
pie or against them?
The answer to this question affects
your country If you are with the peo-
pie your influence, be it great or small,
will hasten their victory. If you are
against the people your influence may re-
tard that victory. But while in the first
instance it is your country that may gain
or lose by your action, you must remem-
Der that in the long run your own posi-
ton in politics will depend upon your
conduct. You can not fool the people al
ways. You may lead them astray if you
dare. but they will punish you when they
find you out. You may work for the
people without their recognizing it at
first but you can trust them to discover
the character of your work and to reward
you accordingly.

That Just what the country needed was
''let we'll enough alone'
Now the captains have departed, hushed
the loud, tumultuous din
And the dinner pail is empty-but the
tax is on the tin.
Yes, the dinner pail is empty, but the
tax is ON the tin;
And a tax upon my clothing, and the
clothing wearing thin.
There's tax upon the cradle of the babe
of which I'm proud
There's a tax upon my table-there'll be
one upon my shroud.
Yes, l cried out for protection" till my
throat was raw and hoarse,
And I got it, o got it-but twas in the
neck, of course.
Yes, the promise was as empty as the
argument was thin,
And the dinner pail is empty-but the tax
is on the tin.
''Four years more we gaily shouted;
"we'll let veil enough alone!"
But the tariff , was gobbled by the
trusts-we get the bone.
''Workingmen must have protection y was
our rousing battlecry,
And the tariff barons cheered us as we
marched so proudly by.
Now the barons have departed to gay
scenes in Paris, France,
And the badge of our protection is the

And we lift the lid and ponder as we
sadly gaze within,
That although the pail is empty, still the
