Every woman breads sending her
fine laces to the wash, because coarse
yellow soap always spoils them. They
should not be boiled, because the deli

etable fabrics, will boil soft. If you
want your laces to look like new, use
Easy Task soap. You need not boil
them or give them hard rubbing.

TARIFF NOT ISSUE
Bryan in Commoner Holds
Trusts and Railroads Need
Attention First.
TRYING TO CAUSE CONFUSION
Scores "So-CaIled Democrats" Who,
Would Lead the People to Be-
ieve Otherwise.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 24.-The para
mount issue in the coming campaign
is not the tariff. w. J. Bryan says in
tcday's CommoneT. Mr. Bryan, in his
article, declares some democrats who
have been Indifferent to the trust
question and the railroad question are
now insisting that tariff reform be
made paramount and that all other
questions be relegated to the rear.
The fact is, and it might as well be
recognized" he adds, that some who
call themselves democrats are so close
ly connected with railroad interests
either as stockholders. legal represen-
tatives or financial agents that they
resent any attempt at effective regu-
lation of the railroads.
Some Trust Sympnthizers.
Some of these democrats are also
connected with trusts; some of them
hold stock; others are even directors
and as attorneys for trusts. These
men-whether consciously or uncon-
sciously is matter of opinion-under-
estimate the importance of the trust
question, as those connected with the
railroads underestimate the railroad
question. They insist that tariff and
tariff alone shall be considered"
The real issue. after all. Mr.. BRYAN
concludes, is whether the government
shall be administered by the people
| in, the interest of the whole people or
| whether it shall be administered for
the benefit of the few.
