New Treasure House of Coal.

Forty-fve billion tons of coal, in
cluded in the greatest coal fields III
Western North America, will be
available as soon as railroad exten
sions now in progress tapping the
Crows Nest Pass region are COM
pleted, going far toward averting
the predicted fuel famine.
The vast storehouse, says the
Technical WorM Magazine, is locat-
ed in rectangle $50 by 200 miles
in extent, comprising 80, 900 square
miles. or Io, 200, 900 acres.
To put this tract in direct COM
munication with the outside world
two opposing engineering parties
are strenuously at work. d. c.
Corbin, president of the Spokane
International Railroad, has secured
a charter from the provisional gov
ernment of British Columbia for q
railroad connecting with the Can
adian Pacific, east of Michel, B. c.,
and extending in southerly direc'
ton ID miles. Construction gangs
are now in the field rushing work
This line will open coal lands in'I1
sections, a total of 10, 300 acres, fol
which the company holds crown
grants from the provisional govern
ment Of British Columbia.

time has improved him largely and
the asperities which sharpened op-
position to him before have been
toned down or entirely removed II
is safe to say that i'll his campaign
tour this year Mr.. Bryan will be
greeted by an unanimous and en-
thusiastic Democracy where ever
he goes and that was not the case
III either Of his other campaigns.
Besides he can present the issues
with greater force and effect from
the stump.
Mr.. Bryan's campaign itinerary
has not been announced as yet, but
it is certain that he will speak in
all the doubtful States, among
which are both New York and
New Jersey. He will make a few
speeches in Indiana and at least
one i'll Kentucky and it is a safe
conjecture that wherever he speaks
the response will be all that he can
possibly hope for. The plain peo.
pie of the country believe in Mr..
Bryan and will follow him this year
as they never have before The
change in the plan of campaign,
therefore, will serve to encourage
those who don't hear him and
strengthen those who do. 1t was
a splendid resolution. - Wahthman.

Fortunate Mexico.

The Republic to the south west
of us does not seem to be bothered
much with looking up new candi-
dates, or with voting on ballots
that contain the columns tor a
dozen or two political parties. In
General Por6rio Diaz Mexico seems
to have president who is the idol
of the whole land. He has already
served as President for thirty years.
The next presidential election does
not occur until 1910, but there is
now boom started to have him
again become the candidate. He
has said that he would not serve
again, but proclamation has been
made in the state of San Luis Po-
tosi signed by citizens calling upon
the States of the Republic to agree
upon a date, send their delegates
to this capital and in special audi
ence present to the President the
claims of the Mexican people upon
his services for another term of six
years.
Did such thing ever happen in
the United States?

AN EXCELLENT CHANGE.

Democrats throughout the coun-
try will learn with keen satisfaction
that the original plans of campaign,
so far as they relate to Mr.. Bryan
himself, have been changed. 1t
was his intention to make only a
few speeches and spend most of his
time at home where those who had
sufficient leisure and money to af-
ford the trip could visit him and
hear brief addresses on the issues
of the campaign. Of course if this
plan had been carried out his short
speeches would have been widely
published and universally read
But he couldn't have reached as
many people by that method as by
the usual campaign tour.
1t is gratifying, therefore, to
learn Mr.. Bryan's plans have been
altered, with his own consent, and
that he will tour the country as he
did in his previous campaigns, but
with vastly greater effect, because

Democracy VS.. Plutocracy.

Since practically all of the CORE.
lated evils of Republicanism and
Rooseveltism bear heavily upon in,
dustry, dig deep into the pockets of
labor and oppress enterprise that
enjoys no favoring laws, what better
issue could Democats raise this year
than the cost of living?
Cause and effect in governmental
affairs never were more closely as
sociated than they are in the con-
ditions now everywhere visible in
America. At Washington we have
Congresses that spend a billion a
year; jingo craze for war and i'm
perialism; privilege and protection
for selected classes; the sale of leg
islation to interests that contribute
privately to campaign funds, and
an almost complete failure to give
effect to laws prohibiting monopoly,
discrimination and forestalling.
Waste and favoritism at Wash
ington are attended by burdensome
taxation, high prices, depression in
industry, and idleness and hardship
among the millions who have no
share in the discriminating pluto
cratic prosperity of which we hear
so much. Prohigacy and privilege
for the few go hand in hard now as
always with poverty and suffering
for the many.
Followed to their ultimate effects
the notorious wrongs of Roosevelt
ism, although varying widely in
character, will be found resting at
last on the backs of enterprise and
labor, sapping their energies and
filching their earnings. Practically
every wise remedy proposed, such
as economy, peace, tariff reform,
graduated income and inheritance
taxes, publicity of campaign ex-
penditures and the destruction of
privilege, monopoly and imperial.
ism would lead unerringly to one
end-cheaper living and true pros
perity.
That would be a campaign issue
worth while. 1t would appeal to
every honest man. 1t would be
comprehended by every intelligence.
1t would make for Democracy and
justice. 1t would be clear, logical
and convincing. 1t would give life
and point to campaign that sorely
needs invigorating thought and
purpose. Finally, it would sweep
away false issues and false remedies
that serve only to bewilder and vex
the people.
Living is high, taxes are high
and hardship prevails because gov
ernment is in partnership with plu-
tocracy and privilege and because
Republicanism, thoroughly com.
mitied to these things, will not or
cannot apply the remedies impera-
lively needed. .--Mw York Werld.

AN APPEAL.

There are no secrets in this Cam
paign. Strictly prackiciRg 7ohdf he
breacheS, Mr.. Bryan will not win
victory with tainted money paying
the election expenses.
Not a dollar is to be accepted
which requires any promise, either
express or implied, other than for
HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOV
ERNMENT.
Mr.. Bryan will enter the White
House absolutely free from entang-
ling alliances, free to serve all class
es Of honest citizens alike, or he
will not enter at all.
Hence the course is plain. The
campaign OF Bryan and Kern must
be nducted by the people.
The people must pay the neccssa-
ry campaign expenses if they want
public servants who will serve their
interests.
Special interests and favored class
es, having secured "SWOLLEN
FORTUNES" by purchasing ia.
vors in the past with MILLIONS
CONTRIBUTED TO CONTROL
ELECTIONS, stand ready to give
MILLIONS MORE FOR CON
TINUE0 FAVORS. But that
class never gives a dollar unless it
buys a pledge.
Mr.. Bryan says, from March 4th g.,
1909, LET THE PEOPLE
RULE"
This can come only if the people
pay their own bills, aud control
their own elections.
BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS
BEARING GIFTS.
That policy of the favored few
buying mortgage on the Govern
ment meant that the Candidate for
President knew a few people only
i'll all entire State
Bryan says, 1--WE will take the
cause of PEOPLES RULE home
to the people and will know people
in every county
You can serve the grand cause of
popular government.
Your paper reaches the hresidc
of the patriot who loves his country
for his country's GOOD; as distin-
guished from the greedy possessor
of swollen fortunes who loves his
country onLv for his country's
GOODS.
Asking every one who favors
Government by the people to pay
you, at once, as many dollars as he
can spare to aid the Campaign for
BRYAN, KERN AND PEOPLES
RULE. You forward these gifts
of honest hearts and home every
two weeks to the Treasurer of the
Democratic National Committee,
with the name of each contributor
and amounts given The Treasurer
will forward you certificate for
each one, asking you to deliver
these certificates.
Once more, you should be part
of the Great Organization bearing
the Lamp of Light to every nook
and corner of Free America.

its Government must be by the

HIGH ALTITUDE FARMS

The report from Ouray of big
crops of grain and vegetables raised
at an altitude approximately 5000
feet is of interest to the entire state
of Colorado as it calls attention to
the availability for agricultural pur-
poses of thousands of acres of ex-
cellent land, yet open to homestead
entry, which has been considered too
high for practical farming. There
are in the mountain districts of our
state hundreds of high land mesas of
from a few hundred to several thou
sand acres in extent which. like the
lands about Ouray, are sufficiently
watered by rains and SHOWS to insure
good crops every year and afford
homes for many thousands of popu-

SIX KISSES A DAY

He promised Detectives Stark and

They found him in Springfield. ILL.,.

Its case of too much 'lovey
dovey' business" said Leedom on
the way back from Springfield. my
wife-she was married once or
twice before-is a good woman and
a fine housekeeper, but she's too
strong on the love business to suit
me. Now, am not a chilly guy or
anything like that, but l don't want
a woman kissing me all the time.
When / come home from work in
the evening l like to sit down and
read the papers. Ny wife would
want me to hold hands with her and
say foolish things.
"a few days before l jumped out
of town" some actress down in New
ork made a hit with a kiss that lasted
forty-five seconds. When my wife
read about that In the papers she
tied behind her back. I'm ashamed
to tell you what happened.
THE only fault / had to find with
Annie was her loving nature. I'll
agree to go back and live with her If
she'll only cut the kissing business
out. i don't mind a little kiss now
then, but draw the line at more
