PAUPER PARADE.
Unemployed in New York to Attend
Prosperity Congress.

New York, August 11-Ten thous-
and unemployed men on the East Side
of this city are preparing to parade
next Friday, when the Interstate Pros
perity Congress begins it's delibera-
tions here under the auspices of the
United Commercial Travellers Pro-
tective Association.
Announcement was made today that
the procession will march through the
streets and halt before the building
where the prosperity society is as
sembled, and ask to participate in
some of the benefits.
Leaders in social settlement work
and others who have taken part in
similar demonstrations in other cities
are agitating the movement for big
turnout. Many of the little assem-
bly,, rooms on the East Side are util-
lied nightly by the unemployed in
preparing for the movement for Fri
day next, which is to be an Offset to
the Prosperity Congress.
The original plan was for the 10000
to appear at the Prosperity banquet
and ask for places, but this has been
abandoned since it became known that
that banquet is to be held at Man.
hatton Beach, several miles away.
The program now is for the unem-
ployed to break in upon the deliber-
ations of the congress at one of it's
sessions on Friday.

The Public Trend.

The trend of Republicanism is to-
ward a sovereignty imperial in char
acter, having merely Democracy no.
menclature The trend of Democracy is
toward simpler things and wider agen-
cies in popular government. Under
Buchanan some progress had been
made toward an aristocracy OF power
Under Roosevelt the progress has been
startling, if it be not alarming. Sure
ly some check should be put upon it
If we must worship something, let it
be ideals, and not heroes. IT we must
hate something, let it be the prova-
able that is base, not the Pigments OF
fractional and sectional prejudices.
All of us want good government. I'm
der Taft we get the same old rings and
groups, of wheels inside of wheels,
slicked over with bogus reforms. I'm
der Bryan we get at least a halt and
a look, a change which will be useful
if only for the sake of the change, with
not a particle of danger to any honest
interest.

Poverty of Democrats.

This situation presents no reason
at all for Democratic dependency or
misgivings; but, on the contrary, the
greatest encouragement, for there can
be no doubt that truer and stronger
sinews of war will respond to an
awakening sense of peril to popular
government-that money in properly
limited, but ample volume for every
right use, will be forthcoming, but
that the need of it will diminish, if
it does not altogether disappear, be-
fore the passing over from the side
of the money power to the side of the
sovereign people, of many thousands of
voters moved by an intelligent percep-
ton of the danger of our institutions.
The glee of our friends, the enemy,
over Democratic poverty and their
own strangely ample wealth must go
far to awaken this intelligent percep-
ton of the nature of the support COM
manded by Mr.. Roosevelt's proxy, not
withstanding Mr.. Roosevelt's parade
of antagonism to such influences.

Standard Oil a Wrecker.

The Indianapolis Star Qnd.) says ::
"It seems to us, Judgs Grosscup rather
overdoes the pictures he paints of
Standard Oils unsuspecting inno-
cence in the rebate field, comparing
it with the humble householder
shipping his battered furniture to a
new home. The question, it appears,
is one of intent; and it may be that
Judge Landis erred in excluding testi-
mony as to the Standards ethical pur-
pose. But if we are not in contempt
we will submit to the Court of Ap-
peals and to all other courts that the
intent of Standard Oil, as written in
the annals of every State and OF
thousand devastated homes and
wrecked competitors, has been to
squeeze the last possible farthing out
of competitors, consumer and carrier
alike, unrestrained and unabashed by
any law of God or man."

Courage of Their Nom Convictions.

Truth told in jest often hits harder
than in sermon form. A cutting truth
is this dialogue from Life:
Why is it that Hartman, Ryan
Rogers and the rest of the gang are
more arrogant than ever?
They have the courage of their nom
convictions.
Mr.. Hartman has just acquired two
more railroads, making seventeen at
present Mr. Ryan is starting an
other trust. Mr.. Rogers has just de-
clared another Standard Oil dividend.
None of them has been criminally
prosecuted. No visible effort has
been made by President or Attorney
General to send any of them to Jail.
If numbers give courage their nom
convictions should make them braver
than Daniel, for the modern lions are
apparently toothless. They only roar,
not bite-New York World.

VILE Carroll county Md.
Have you a father? Love him we'll
While he is spared on earth;
Wait not till death shall call him.
To know his precious worth.
Wait not till he is cold and stiff,
Most beautiful. though dead.
To think of what you should have done
Before his dear life fed.
Think how much he should be loved,
And praise him as you ought,
Or else your life when he is gone
With sorrow will be fraught.
o, watch him, guard him with your love
While with you he is left
For when he leaves you, life will Seem
Of every joy bereft.
Oh soothe him. in his hours of pain,
Be gentle and be mild:
How sweet twill be for you to think
You have been faithful child.

Ny feet will ofttimes wander
Toward thy sacred grave,
Where sleeps the one loved so well,
The one could not save.
His tolls are past, his work is dono,
And he is fully blest;
He has fought the fight the victory won.
And entered into rest.

Mower County transcript., 1908-08-19

that it works to perfection, being
much less troublesome than the old
fashioned jelly bag, says a writer in
Farm and Home.
Clean a plain wooden kitchen char
thoroughly, and then turn it, legs up
ward, on kitchen table. Tie clean
single or double piece of white
cheesecloth securely by the corners to
the chair legs, being careful not to
allow too much fullness to prevent too
much sagging. Place bowl under
meath the bag on the under side of
the chair seat, and then pour some
boiling water from the kettle into the
bag. When it has run away, and the
cloth is still hot, quickly remove full
bowl and put another in it's place, and
pour the hot fruit to be strained into
the Jelly bag. Again change bowls
and pour the first juice back into the
jelly bag. Then throw a clean, white
mosquito netting over the chair, and
leave the jelly juice to strain all night.
Of course, chair table, floor and every
utensil used, as we'll as the cheese
cloth and mosquito netting, must be
scrupulously clean.
