A Victory for the Common People.


Whatever the result may be, the
desires of the common people and
not the bosses prevailed at the Den
yer convention. They prevailed over
the maneuvering and money Of ''the
interests" over the trickery Of the
ssafe and sane" fellows and over
the doubts and fears of the over
cautious.
The democratic masses chose
their presidential ticket this year,
as wise women choose their hus-
bands, to suit themselves. And
for fair dealing and equal rights
for all they will wage winning
campaign against the forces which
stand for the granting of special
privileges to the few at the expense
OF the many. As Henry Watterson
says:
"That is the soul of democracy,
unterriied and indebted. That is
the spirit which snatches brands
from the ashes and sets them blaz-
ing upon the affairs Of Truth. That is
the fellowship that binds men and
wins battles with pebbles against
mail-clad giants, though hell should
cape with billionaires and predatory
wealth with millions bar the way!"

Requires No Fences and Never Had q
Wheeled Vehicle.
Within sight of the town of Jasper,
Mo-, in the Ozarks settler has a
farm which probably is unlike tiny 9TH
er in the world.
This farm occupies the tableland on
the summit of Il ridge and is inclosed
with fence which no animal has ever
broken through. 1t does not rise above
The surface of the farm, but falls sheer
from the edge II distance of many feet.
The man who homestcuded the table
land had hard climb up the face of
a perpendicular cliff to reach the com
puratively level summit.
AT one point u ledge extends out a
few inches and along the face Of the
cliff at an upward grade. BY follow
ing this ledge and making use of occa-
sional points of rocks and of shrubs
growing III the assures the discoverer
pulled himself to the summit and found
a-surface well covered with soil and a
luxuriant vegetation.
Gradually lie improved the ledge un-
I'll he could carry up tools and seed.
BY blasting and drilling he cleared n
narrow trail,--up which he was able to
take first some pigs and then COW.
Later on he took up horse.
And that today is the condition of
this curiously protected farm No vchi-
Gle has turned wheel within its linz
Its of palisades. The live stock has
multiplied and consumes the grain
raised. Some stones thrown across the
trail completely fence in the hogs and
cattle. When the farmer has stock to
sell he drives the animals down the
private trail and strikes the road to

mittee for a number Of years. Mr..
Mack is newspaper publisher who
made a success Of the newspaper

Mr.. Bryan was SO pleased with
the selection of Mr.. Mack, that he
gave out statement in which he
said the committees choice Of a
chairman meant that the party in.

Captain Cooks Walking Stick With
Thunder and lightning.
When Captain Cooks ship, the En-
sdeavor, lay in Mercury bay, New Zea-
land. in 1863. brown boy Of eight,
who afterward became a chief and
lived to u great age, went aboard Of
her. His name was Taniwha.
1t was easy enough for the brown
boys to pick out kapene Kuku Gap
tain Cook) among the men on board,
Taniwha said he was the leader Of the
"goblins," very great man. He walk
the ship grave and dignif1ed. He held
up nail, priceless treasure, and.
when Taniwha laughed, gave 1t to him.
Then the boys knew that he was good
as well us great They were shocked
that a grownup Maori stole apiece of
calico.
"They padded away" Taniwha con-
tinued. 1.-THE goblin went down into
the hold Of the ship, but soon came up
with q walking stick in his hand and
pointed it at the canoe Thunder peal
ed and lightning flashed. but those in
the canoe padded on.
"Then they landed. Eight rose to
leave the canoe. but the thief sat still
with his dogskin mat and the goblin's
garment under his feet. His compan-
ions called him, but he did not answer.
One Of them shook him. and the thief
fell back into the hold of the canoe,
and blood was seen on his clothing and

Can't Revile Man They Have Initiated.


The New York Evening Post, an
organ Of "the interests" candidly
admits that the conservatives in
other words the special privilege
fellows, cannot rally their forces in
opposition to Bryan as they did in
1896, because a party that has ap.
propriated Bryan's ideas cannot re-
vile him. Here is liberal extract
from the Posts remarkably frank
confession:
No intelligent survey of the ma.
tons defenses against Organism
can blink the truth that they hav,
been greatly weakened during tn
past four years. 1t is not possibl
today to rally the conservative force
Iof the country in opposition Il

Everybody knows the reason why
You cannot revile man whom
you have initiated. A party tina
has appropriated Bryan's ideas cal

person. At the very beginning 0
the republican campaign, it is. tn

sfresistance to Bryan has been muc
broken by four years Of yieldin

ed and deliberate purpose has bee

which he has constantly used hi

Taft may extend the velvet hand
t, labor and mean all that his act
implies, but labor cannot look at
Taft without seeing his yoke-mate,
and seeing the mailed hands which
have driven the representatives Of
labor from the doors of congress
without redress or hearing. Sher-
man has stood for many years as a
shield for law-defying wealth, and
the laboring masses of this country
have no more use for him than he
has had for them since he came out
through the jaws Of monopoly to oc-
cupy a commanding position in the

They Beat Lightning Change Artists.

Up until the last hour before Mr..
Bryan was nominated at Denver, the
trust owned and trust controlled
newspapers of the country were
pleading with the, democrats not to
throw away their chance of success
by nominating such weak man as
Bryan. But the old adage, Beware
of the Greeks when they come bear
ing gifts was duly needed by the
democrats. They paid no attention
to the advice of their enemies, but
carried out their purpose to the let
ter in the drafting of their platform
and the nomination of their candi-
dates.
Then followed a lightning change
on the part of the newspapers and
representatives Of the party that
stands for special privileges for the
1
few at the expense Of the many.
The New York Tribune, the lead.
ling trust organ of the country.
frankly admitted that Mr.. Bryan
Undoubtedly owes, his nomination
to the support of the great mass OF
democratic voters, and that 8he is
obviously stronger as vote-gettel
than any other democratic nominee
would be this year who owed his Sc
lection to conservative Influences

truth, and the big and little organs

A United Democratic Press.

Most of the newspapers, calling
themselves democratic, which re-
fused to support Bryan in 1896,
died shortly after the campaign Of
that year from lack of. patronage.
All but very few Of the survivors
are now saying, "Let bygones be
bygones, we are going to help elect
Bryan this year." The very few
not supporting Bryan are owned by
lawless wealth, and are only demo-
cratic in name. They are being
used like decoy ducks, to betray and
mislead, but the public has them
spotted. Their pre-convention cam;
paign against Bryan demonstrates
that they are wholly devoid Of in.

was fairly won by the Strawberry

cause it would take more than the
column and half devoted by the
editor Of that paper in his write up
to convince anyone present at the
game that the same was not deliber-
ately stolen from the Manchester
team. yrP
The writer was told by Strawberry
Point parties before the game that
Strawberry Point would win the
game even if they had to steal it and
one of Strawberry Points own play
ers whose position enabled him to
see the plays of the game said after
the game was over that the umpire's
decisions against Manchester were
the rankest he had ever seen. There
was not one of the Manchester root,
