Bohemia is youth. Youth is every
where. 1t is bounded on the north and
east by the barren desert Of middle age
and on the south and west by the steep
and impossible mountains of success.
The true bohemian is drunk on nothing
but ambitions and ideals. and, though
these leave no headache, they frequent
ly leave an emptiness Of, the stomach.
The true bohemian has an appetite the
morning after, but there is often no
breakfast.-Sydney Bulletin.

Democratic Appeal for Campaign
Contributions

Democratic Appeal for Campaign
Contributions
William Jennings Bryan and
John Worth Kern, Democratic can
didates for the Presidency and
Vice-Presidency, have issued a
letter to the farmers Of the United
States asking for contributions to
the Democratic campaign fund.
The farmers are urged to contrib
ute according to their means and
in other ways to assist in res
toring the Democratic party
to power. The appeal is as fol-
lows and appeared In last week
Commoner
To the farmers Of the Upited
States:
"The first contribution made to
the Democratic campaign fund
this year so far as we know, was
made by an Iowa farmer. Just be-
fore the Denver convention met,
this man, who modestly prefers not
to have his name mentioned, journ
eyed more than 100 miles to Lin
coin with his contribution of 800,
which he left with Mr.. Bryan to
be given to the committee when
organized for the campaign.
"This farmer was born In Swe-
den and for some time after he
was naturalized was member of
the Republican party. But he was
a student of public questions and
in the course of time became a
Democrat. To manifest his deep
interest in the success of the party
and in the triumph of Democratic
he made this free will
Offering to the campaign fund.
cit is very appropriate that this
first contribution should come from
that great body of our population
known rs agriculturalists. The
farmer has nothing to gain by
privilege and favoritism; his hope
is in the application Of the doctrine
Of equal rights to all and special
to nome He has been
the victim of all special legislation
and has suffered from control of
politics by the great predatory cor-
pOratiOns. Now that the DemOcra
tic party has announced it's deter
not to ACCEPT contribuo
ton from corporations and not to
accept excessive ributions even
from individuals, and to publish all
,Ontri buttons when over reasOna-
Die minimum, 1T ought to be able
10 secure sufficient sum from the
citizens who ask from the govern
nent nothing but protection of
heir rights and consideration for
he general welfare. There are
hundreds Of thousands of farmers
Who are abuudantly able to con
ribute tc the campaign fund. There
IRE thousands who could give 500
piece without feeling it; there
re tens of thousands whocOuld give
80 apiece without sacrifice and
till more who could give $50 or
10 or So.
"The Denver convention was
eople's convention: it adopted
trOng, clear, honest platform, and t
IS nominations were made with O
ractical unanimity. Oar fig hit lie I

i'm is equal and exact justice to =

The average Englishman, and it is

reference to tue guarantee nf bank de-

favor county option. but thete was no oc-

every candidate for the legislature IL

personally. I believe Bryan will get Just
what votes he is entitled II az a demo-

steady, with fair buying Of gilt edged Sc

tinctly better in the forenoon and prices
advanced to above parity. The rally on

CATTLE-Receipts OF cattle were light
this morning, the run being only lB cars, as
against 26S cars on the same day last week.
For the four days the receipts foot up 1913
head. a falling off of over lA,00 head, as
compared with a year ago.
With fewer cattle In sight and with buy
ers all having liberal orders. everyone was
out in the yards in good season, so that the
market on range beeVes opened early and
fairly active, practically everything at ell
desirable being cleaned up before mid
day, 1t will be noted that the market has
been gradually crawling upward every day,
so that while no very material advance mas
been reported at any time, prices, as com
pared with a week ago, are l6fSc higher.
Corn-fed steers, on the other hand, do not
show much change. Some days they sell
very well because buyers happen to have
orders for a few loads OF that kind. Other
days II is very hard TO move them, simply
feds.
Cows and heifers were also free sellers
this morning and the market was around
lOc higher than yesterday.
There was no material change in the
stockers and feeder situation. Thu supply
Of cattle of that kind in first hands was
rather meager, but spectators still had a
good supply.
