FARMER LIVES ON
NINE CENTS A DAY
DECLARES NO MEALS SHOULD
COST MORE THAN THREE
CENTS.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. AN. M
Wood, an advocate of fresh aid and q
firm believer in the simple life, who
is out with proposition to battle
particularly against the great white
plague, claims that a man can live on
nine cents day, with the products of
his own farm, and proves it by his
own living.
by that, / mean" says Mr.. Wood,
that farmer should be able to live
well with the expenditure OF just three
cents for meal for articles that he can
not raise himself"
Mr.. Wood Illustrated what he meant
by giving as an example the break
fast he had just eaten.
1.-The meal consisted of broiled ba-
con, Indian meal cake, BURBERRY pie,
bread, butter, cream, preserves and
health substitute coffee. In that en-
tire meal there is nothing that had to
be purchased but the flour for the
bread and pie and sugar and the en-
tire cost of those two articles not ex-
ceeding three cents.
"The health coffee we had to buy,
but / figured the whole thing out at
less than three cents. The bacon,
eggs, lard, fruit, cream and berries,
every farmer should raise. With

The Rumn Convention.

Judging from the reports from
Charleston, the Scherr men have lost
their heads and have been taken in
tow by the same old crowd OF sore.
heads and chronic office seekers who
have been bowling for self in the
name OF righteousness, religion and
rebellion for years. 1t is deplorable
that these fellows cannot hang to-
gether submit to the will of the
majority and strive for party instead
of self success. But it seems, not so.
The hypocritical declaration that the
boilers s'do not want to be dominat-
ed by a, state executive committee
whose members are state and federal
office holders" after about all the
state and federal Office holders on the
committe had voted in their favor, is
a remarkable species of Janus-faced
Inconsistency, but the efforts and the
movement is easily seen through and
the motive betrayed.

representative Charles E. LittleneId,
of Maine, thinks II has. He made a
careful examination OF the subject.
Among other investigations, he ex4
ainined the Federal Reporter as Is
sued since danpary /, 1908, to and
out how many injunctions OF all
kinds had been issued by federal
judges since that date. 1t was as
pertaiHed shat 1913 in1uncions had
been issued in that tiYe. but only 20
.ofsthem involved labor controversies.
IN the case of fiye ofithese 20 there
was notice and hearing before the or
der was Issued. There was nothing
in the records, Mr.. Littleheld said,
to indicate that any OF them were ex-
cesslye or oppressive in their scope
or that they were not fully justified
by the facts presented to the court.
He does not believe that since 1893
at least, a single federal judge at
any time, in any place, under any
stress, has been guilty OF any abuse
OF the judicial power in issuing either
temporary restraining order or pre-
liminary Injunction.
The injunction regulation question
will go before Congress again; 1t will
be thoroughly considered and dis
cussAd, and there the effort will be
made to solve the alleged abuse OF
the privilege. The Republican party
stands on record as looking after the
interests of the laboring man as we'll
as those of honest and legitimate cap
ital, as 1t has shown by its continued
stand on protection to American in
dustries, I its establishment of an
Ieight-hour labor law, the enactment
OF child labor laws, the strengthening
of the contract labor laws and the en-
'actment of other measures intended
to Tighten the burdens and increase
the opportunity for happiness and
advancement of all who TOLL" so this
question of the Injunction writ may
safely be left to It's care with sub
stantial assurance that 1t will be
given the best and impartial consid-
Grafton for the interests of all con-
cerned.

The Injunction Writ,

The declaration in the Republican
national platform for the enactment
OF more accurately defined rules OF
procedure in federal courts with re.
spect to the. issuance of the writ OF
Injunction and that mo injunction or
temporary restraining order be issued
without notice, except irreparable in
jury would result from delay, in
which case speedy hearing there.
after should he granted" should not
be taken to. mean that our federal
judiciary system is woefully lax and
out OF joint and that its rules have
been abused by the judges them
selves. Rather should it be taken as
an effort by the Republican party to
look carefully after the interests OF
laboring men and to give them due
consideration to their claims regard
ing the writ Of Injunction and. il pos.
sible, to regulate more definitely the
legal procedure so that undue ad.
vantage be not taken of the injunc-
ton privilege. 1t does not mean that
the relief by Injunction shall he
swept away altogether. The party
pledges itself to uphold the authority
and integrity Of the,courts and insists
that their powers to enforce their
processes and TO protect life, liberty
and property shall he preserved in.
violate. The laboring man would
not want)those powers abrogated for
in many instances he himself has
availed himself of the protection af.
forded through granting OF this
writ.
1t may be that the popular clamor
against so-called government by in.
junction. has been far overdone.

the talking machine of Nebraska to

this statement be true, reconcile the
statement to the oft reiterated dec

have nothing whatever to do with

Involves Presidency
1t was not alone personal con-
test but one to some extent involving
the presidential nomination itself, for,
If Guffey should be finally and de-
clsively endorsed before the conven-
ton today, 1t meant that one rally
Ing point OF the anti-Bryan forces
had gone to pieces; whereas the Cuff
fey fight on the floor OF the conven-
ton meant the first showdown of a
roll call between two elements, Bryan
and anti-Bryan. Here, then, was the
first alignment that might force New
York into the open and compel the
waVering delegations to show their
colors.
To be Referred Back
BY the decision of the committee
on credentials, Kerr, the Bryan ad-
herent, was given thirty-four and
one-half votes to Guffey's thlrty-two
and one-half. The selection Of Cuff
fey as the chairman of the national
committee will be referred back to
the Pennsylvania delegation, which
means that II the credentials com
mittee's report is sustained by the
antl-Guffey forces. they will make a
new selection for national committee
man from Pennsylvania.
