Republican Senator AppIauds Bryan

A few weeks ago Senator La Fol-
lette delivered his famous lecture in
Lincoln, Neb., in the course Of which
he showed that a few millionaries
control Congress and dictate legisla-
ton. He is thus quoted by the Ne
braska State Journal In it's issue OF
the 28th of August:
"Jn their strife for more money,
more power-more power, more mon
ey-there is no time for thought, for
reflection. They look neither forward
nor backward. Government, society,
and the individual are swallowed up
in the struggle for greater control.
The plain man living the wholesome
life Of peace and contentment has a
better perspective, a saner judgment.
He has ideals and conscience and
human emotion. Home children,
neighbors, friends, church, schools,
country, constitute fife. He knows
very definitely the conditions affect
ing the rights guaranteed him by the
Constitution, but he longs for express
sion, he longs for leadership.
".This makes plain, sir, the powerful
hold of President Roosevelt and of
Mr.. Bryan upon the confidence and
dHeCLlOQ OIL Iu0 AInCIICdu pCOplC.
This makes plain why the President
and Mr.. Bryan each have, not the Re
publican party alone, but the whole
people in sympathy with their pur-
poses.
Whatever the difference in party
policy, whatever the difference in per-
sonality, they are striving, each in
his own way, for certain fundamental
truths that the american people de-
mand shall be settled right, and shall
be settled soon.
Whatever mistakes Mr.. Bryan may
have made in policies, whatever mis-
takes the President may make in
compromising legislation, they are be-
loved Of the people because they are
both fighting to preserve, for the peo-
pie, the principles Of government, by
the people.
blind indeed Is he who does not
see what the time portends. He who
would remain in public service must
serve the public, not the system. He
must serve his country, not special
interests

TARIFF.MADH WEALTH.
Overpowering Riches a Menace to
Good Government.


Editor of the Evening Post:
An editorial in the Evening Post on
"The Reign of Law1essness," states
what is probably the greatest danger
| that confronts the nation, without any
effort to find the underlying cause.
When the same conditions appear in
various parts of our widely extended
territory, is it not probable that the
same cause exists in each instance
cited? You cite the Thaw trial,
every one knows that if this murder
er had not had fortune to spend on
his lawyers, he would be today in Mat
teawan, where he belongs" Where
did the fortune come from? What
the tariff on steel now is l do not
know, but it has been as much as $23
a ton, and that on manufacture OF
such bulk and weight, that the cost
of transportation gave it ample pro-
lection from foreign importation.
Your comments on the lawlessness
in Kentucky are none too severe. and
yet the large part of the disorders
there are due to the efforts of the To-
bacco Trust, built up by the tariff, to
absorb the entire profit of the tobacco
crop. and by form of law, to conflscate
the property OF those outside the
Trust.
Junius tells us that Prudence and
self-preservation will oblige the most
moderate dispositions to make COM
mon cause even with a man whose
conduct they censure, if they see him
perSecuted in way which the real
spirit of the laws will not justify"
We are now encountering the con-
sequences of class legislation, kind
of law-making that was not contem-
plated by the makers of our ConstI-
tuition, whereby so great prosperity
is created for the protected classes
that it is only equalled by the depres-
sion and poverty of those who are
compelled to contribute constantly to
the already overpowering wealth of
this dangerous minority. Read the
list of the protected Industries, and
you have the list of dangers to our
form of government-get the names
of those who profit by these protect
ed industries, and you have the names
of those whose sense of justice has
been undermined by the laws of the
land-whose desire for equal rights,
under the law, has been weakened by
the appeal to greed and vested rights!
The most insidous sapping OF char
acter is done by this giving of legal
right that is not founded in justice
and equity.
One of the prime causes of the
French Revolution was this giving of
legal right to those who had no
claim in justice, what matters 1t
whether we call it monopoly, trust or
tariff? This cause will always pro-
duce the same effect, and we may ex-
pect disorders Of many kinds, when the
law is brought into disrepute by eff
forts to foster and protect certain
classes at the expense of the COM
munity, protection that our Consti-
tuition does not authorize, beyond such
imposts as may be necessary for the
expenses of the Federal government.

Lob Still Open.

The proprietor Of a London restau-
rant advertised for a cook. The first
to apply for the berth appeared to be
in every way suitable. But before Ell
gaging him the restaurant keeper in
quired if he could give him tip for
the 2:3O race.
The cooks eyes frightened. He
whispered dead cert" and men
toned that he had s shillings on the
horse himself. That was enough. The
proprietor gave him a lecture on the
evils Of betting and showed him the
door. AS he went out he saw another
man about to enter.
"Are you going to apply for the
job?" he asked. "Well, If you are
asked If you know anything about
racing. say you can't tell Derby win
ner from a coster's donkey"
The man took the advice, was en-
gagged and commenced his duties.
Presently the proprietor rushed to the
speaking tube and yelled to the new
cook:
"Calfs head one."
Instantly the reply came:
did he, by George? What was sec

The Chinese Waiter.

The chief glory of an average Chi
nese inn is the waiter. This indispen-
sable functionary is the guardian of all
your interests for the time being, anG
when you are not looking he dives int
secrets and matters Of your own that
seem to amuse and enlighten him to
your inconvenience and annoyance
Like his confreres in other and more
enlightened countries, he hardly ever
separates himself from the Inevitable
napkin, but his badge Of waitership i
very practical article with him. WITT
it in summer he mops his damp brow
or bare shoulders, while in winter.
wrapped about his head, it protect
him from rain and wind. The Chinese
walters napkin is put to all kinds of
uses besides those just mentioned. l.
is used as a dishcloth, mop with
which to wipe the door, a cloth for
cleaning and wiping down tables and
duster. But Chinese landlords arc
very reasonable In their charges, which
in a measure compensate for the un-
pleasantness Of living In their inns.

Republican Arrogance.

The arrogance of the Republican
party is disgusting many voters. Its
mighty strength is backed up by the
corporate wealth it has established,
and unto it the finer elements of our
Democracy are mere tinsel to incite
voters whenever it wants to be kept in
power. It's theories are based on its
power, which it dares the people to
question.
It's arguments the argument of fear
that business will be ruined if it is dis
turbed on it's high throne. 1t grovels
in the trough of extravaganza like a
drunken spendthrift with his patri-
mony. 1t places the people on low
er plane than the corporations which
give it it's life.
It's alluring doctrine thrown out to
catch labor votes every four years is,
in the kindliest term possible, an in
suit to the American workingman.

The Democratic Advocate for the cam
paign, 8 months, 25 cents.

With the permission of President
Roosevelt Mr.. Taft says that II elected
he will call an extra session OF the
next Congress Immediately after the
expiration of the present Congress on
March 4, 1909, to revise the tarin,
says the Philadelphia Record. Yet
this ominous threat "to tinker with
the tariff and disturb the business In
terests of the country" does not give
the predatory Trusts the least concern.
The Trusts know just how much Is
in it, and in the language OF the
street do not scare worth cent.
The Democratic advocate., 1908-09-18

1t is the same way everywhere.
Labor organizations are for Bryan
and Kern. The Rocky Mountain
News says that President Hally of the
Colorado Federation Of Labor and
his associates are making an active
fight for Bryan and the Democratic
platform. They were indorsed by the
Federation and Mr.. Hally was re-elect-
ed President.

"The man offered us $780," Clarice
said hurriedly, ''but shouldn't expect
that now. I think $100 will be enough" )"
"We'll see," Beverly stated. "If
you'll bring It I can put proper price
on it."
''Come to the back door while am
getting breakfast" Clarice directed.
Aunt Matilda is always asleep then"
Clarice getting breakfast was won
derful She wore an enveloping blue
apron, and her sleeves were rolled back
from her white arms. She was stirring
the breakfast porridge as Beverly
came in.
'1'd ask you to have some" she said,
"but we haven't any cream"
"You. wait" Beverly told her and
caught up a quaint pitcher, and pres
emily he was back with basket of
strawberries, the cream and some rolls.
Clarice protested.
"Oh, you shouldn't
Beverly took both of her hands in
his.
Dear child he said, surely you
will let me do such a little thing"
The blue bowl was, even to Bever-
ly's unframed eye, thing Of beauty.
He insisted that Clarice should let
him pay the full $500, but she would
not, and at last he made out check
for $3.50 and handed it to her across
the table, and just at that moment a
sepulchral voice came from the door
way.
.'Clarice, what are you doing with
my blue bowl?'
And there stood Aunt Matilda, look
ing as witchlike as possible in her
black dressing gown, with her gray
hair falling about herashoulders.
Clarice shrunk back. "Oh," she said,
II thought you were asleepT
The old woman took step forward.

to look at my china. Something warn
ed me. And the blue bowl was miss
ing. Give it to me at once"
"But it is not your blue bowl" Bev-
erly informed her. "Clarice has told
me that it belonged to her father and
was left to her with other pieces, and
now she has sold it to me-"
"WhatT Aunt Matilda shrieked.
Ibid you dare?"
Clarices head went up. "It was
mine, Aunt Matilda" she stated.
"But it breaks the set" the old wo-
man moaned. "Clarice, give him back
his money and give me back my
bowlr'
She clutched at the coveted piece,
but Beverly's hand restrained her.
There is only one way that you can
have It." he said.
"And that?" she demanded eagerly.
"You must let me marry your niece.
She will then give you all the china,
and will settle an income on you so
that you can live comfortably and hire
a woman to stay with you. And then
Clarice and I will go out into the great
world together-Clarice"-
He turned to the girl. and his eyes
pleaded.
"Oh," she whispered, 'but I have
known you such short time"
"What is time to usT' he asked. my
mother will come to see you, my SIS
ters, so that you may have no doubt as
to my character, my circumstances,
and. as for the rest, surely you won't
send me away. Clarice?'
He held out his hands to her, and
presently she came to him, and he put
one arm about her protectingly as he
turned to Aunt Matilda.
"And now," he asked. twill you take
the bowl?"
Aunt Matilda's eyes gloated over it.
"Yes," she flung out.
"And I will take Clarice," said Bev-
erly joyously. and as Aunt Matilda
Rugged her treasure to her breast he
bent and kissed the lady of his heart.

NOT IN POVERTY GLASS

The bank deposits Of South Da-s
koJa are an evid ence chat the state
has gone out of the poverty class
and is not only out but staying out.
In the old days Of fifteen years
ago, the mortgage was the princi-
pal business that the South Dako-
tan had to transact with the bank
{er, but now it is the bank book
which he hand les. For several
years, on q population basis Of the
census the deposits in the banks Of
the state have been at about one
hundred per capita Of population.
And now the figure is being raised.
and the state keeping its record
good Of creating more new wealth
per population than any other state
in the union.
The deposits as shown by the re-.
ports Of the state banks for August
|17, last, and Of the national banks
for September %, show that over.
sixty million ollars Of individual
deposits were being carried in the
banks of the state at approximate
lily September LIST. The state banks
at the August call were carrying
individual deposits Of $38 ,667 O4499 y
Z ", and the national banks at the
date Of their call a few days later
showed individual deposits amount
ling to. S22. 1926, 297 "a. This makes
individual deposits nearly sixty-one
million ollars, at a date before
the crops and live stock Of the state
have been marketed for the year,
and at the dates of the next call,
| the showing will no doubt be much
better. The total deposits shown
are $67, 261 ,450. 53, but Of this
La little over six million dollars are
credited to other banks and bank
ers, and the individual deposits,
do not reach that figure. The
showing is an increase Of nine and
one-half million dollars in the
last year. When the crop depos-
4 its are made for this year the in
diviual deposits of the state will
be far above the one hundred
dollars for each resident Of the
state, and South Dakota will be in
a class which will show up with
any of the states Of the union, and
lead many Of them, 50 far as the
financial condition Of her residents
is concerned One of the best fea-
lures of the situation is that this
sum is not concentrated in the title

.Iuals, but is principally in smaller
deposits Of the people generally

ESTIMATE AGE OF THE EARTH

Is ! / -
Professor Darwin of England de-
,clared some time ago his belief
that the age Of the earth cannot be 4
less than one hundred millions Of
years old. Flammarion tells us
now that this estimate is too low
by at least fifty millions of years.
The late Lord Kelvin declared soon
before his death that his former
estitase, 10000, 900 years, was3far
too low, and that the more he.
studied the question the more.
strongly inclined he was to accept
the estimate of Professor Darwin.
Finally, Fourier feels convinced
that the eventual estimate which
shall be proved to be scientifically
accurate will show that the earth
must be at least as old as the son
of the great Darwin declares it to.
be.
= The proof which has upset the
common Biblical affirmation Of
6, 0Oe years as being the age Of the
earth is found, beyond the posi-
bility Of controversy, in the exam-
I,ination Of geological strata. The
great geoligist Lyall was the first
/ to apply the petric test,and his ex-
periments demonstrated beyond
cavil that the time which must
have elapsed between the beginning
Of the cooling process of the frag-
ment of the sun which we now
linhabit# and the formation Of the
outer strata must have been at
least several millions Of years.
Modern criteria have changed all
calculations which were made prev
liiously to the new declarations made
by Darwin and Hardness, the age
[of petric strata being now quite as
Eeasily and as accurate " determin-
able as the age of trees. or as the
age Of disinterred human bones.
AS the length of time the earth
lis likely to last, the calculations
are that it will not cease to be ac-
| tive for a good many million Of
years, such activity not, however,
necessarily supposing that life, as.
I've know it now, will always be.
possible, the mentality ola uri.y
lversal ice age being always a CON.
tingency that may occur again in
the history Of the globe.
1t is interesting to note that in
this connection Swedish mystic
lcalled Stromberg recently declared
that the world would never know
another ice age, but that it was
now running out Of its course to
/ THE end. Its existence, he declared
would endure as long ais FIRE burned
