She must not hinder them. They had much
to do. Her part was self-enacement. In
the darkening passageway she heard
Laird shouting orders above, heard him
command the native women to tumble be-

and-"barometer" Constable"
There were running feet, bells
below, cries from the native women, quick
oaths from the sailors. The ship rose and
settled like feather in breeze.
She was incapable of swift action

slammed the door, rushed to the ports and
screwed them tight with lightning fingers,
led her to a chair and locked 1t in its

the rigid tension Of her face, her hands,

break forth. From out the shorewaro

The ship shuddered and fell to her star

Eight bells had just sounded when the

heavens, gathered themselves, and plunged
down upon the city and the sea. As for

A Farmer. Campaign Fund.


To the Farmers of the United States
The first contribution made to the Demo
cratic campaign fund this year, so far as
we know, was made by an Iowa farmer.
Just before the Denver convention met,
this man, who modestIy prefers not to
have his name mentioned, journeyed more
than one hundred miles to Lincoln with
his contribution of 500, which he left
with Mr.. Bryan to be given to the com
mittee when organized for the campaign.
This farmer was born in Sweden and
for some time after he was naturaliZed
was a member Of the Republican party,
but he was q student of public questions
and in the course of time became Dem
ocrat. He has been reader of The Com
moner since its establishment, and to
of the party and in this triumph of Dem
ocratic principles, he made this frse-will
offering to the campaign fund.
1t is very appropriate that the first
contribution should come from that great
body of our population known as agri-
culturists, for 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 privi-
leges to none" He has been the victim
of all special legislation, and has suffered
from the control of politics by the great
predatory corporations. Now that the
Democratic party has announced its de-
termination not to accept contributions
from corporations, not to accept excessive
contributions even from individuals, and
to publish all contributions above a rea-
sonable minimum, it ought to be able to
secure a sufficient campaign fund from
those patriotic citizens who ask from the
government nothing but protection to
their rights and consideration for the
general welfare. There are hundreds of
thousands of farmers who are abundantly
able to contribute to the campaign fund
There are thousands who could give 500
apiece, without feeling it; there are tens
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1908-08-07

of thousands who could give $50 apiece
without sacrifice, and still more who
could give $50 or $40 or So.
AS the national committee has not yet
been organized, we will ask The Com
moner to call for subscriptions to this
farmers fund. Those giving can indi-
cate whether they are willing to have
their names mentioned and, if the contri-
button is not more than 500, their wishes
will be complied with. All contributions
above 500 must be made known, no mat
ter from whom they come.
The farmers fund will be turned over
to the national committee as soon as it's
permanent officers have been selected.
Who will be the first to respond? The
Denver convention was peoples conven-
ton; it adopted a strong, clear, honest
platform, and its nominations were made
with practical unanimity. Our fight is a
fight for the whole people. Our aim is
equal and exact justice to ALL our pur-
pose is to restore the government to the
hands of the freely chosen representatives
of the voters. How many farmers will
join in furnishing the fund necessary to
present the issues?

FLo's PHOTOGRAPHS.


Giving Hex Their Pictures.
Don't you think Kent Hampton's
last photograph Is a splendid one" Flo
Davol asked, carelessly.
A swift color flashed across Rachel
Hilrs face. She tried to make her
voice Indifferent, but the hurt would
show little.
az haven't seen It," she replied.
Haven't seen it2" Flo echoed. How
queer, when you are such friends!
have 1t somewhere here"
She began hunting through the pho
tographs crowding her desk. They
were nearly all photographs Of boys or
young men, and Kents was clearly IN
sight, as Rachel, with fash OF con-
tempt, saw at once, although 1t was
several minutes before Flo apparently
discovered it. Then she handed 1t to
Rachel. Her whole elaborate, over
dressed little figure betrayed her de-
light II her pretty triumph.
ut certainly Is queer that he didn't
give you one," she repeated, "but the
boys are always giving things to me.
Really, l don't know what to do with
half OF them"
AS Rachel walked home through the
September afternoon her eyes were full
Of bitterness. Why was 1t, she wonder
ed, that girls like Flo got so much more
than their share Of good times and
things? She would not have cared
about the others, but Kent Hampton,
who had been her playmate ever since
she could remember, and was going
away to college in two days. Oh. Flo
could have had anything else If she
only had not spoiled that dear old
friendship.
That evening Kent came over with
his chum-who was also Racheps
cousin-Tom Calverly. Usually the
three had the happiest Of evenings, but
this time something was plainly wrong.
The boys kept up their nonsense but
it did not "go" as usual. Finally Tom
remarked of something:
"Its dead easy-as easy as one OF
Flo Davol's photographed, KentT
Rachel grew red, then pale. Il
should think you'd be ashamed" she
cried, facing them Indignantly.
The boys stared at each other in per-
plexity.
ITO joke over a girl when you give
her your picture" she stammered. 1T

Kent's lips frightened, but Tom whis-
tied softly.
Look here, Ray" he asked, don't
you know, honest?"
"Know what?" Rachel inquired.

She gets them by asking-that's how.

wildcat mining stocks are not alto
gether useless-or worthless either"
said a New York broker who handles
cheap mining stocks the other day as
he hung up the telephone receiver.
Here's a man who just offered me $50
for enough mining stocks to have a
face value of $4,000. He wasn't par
ticular what stocks he got If they only
had a paper value of $4,000. closed
the deal and shall make money on it,
too. What did he want with such
stocks? Well, I haven't the slightest
doubt but that he is getting ready to
go into the bankruptcy court and wants
to show his creditors where his money
has been dropped. We often get such
requests and are usually able to fill
them"

The Income Tax.

In its issue of July IA, the New York
World prints an editorial entitled, "Aban-
doning the Income Tax" The World
editorial follows:
1.-The World can understand the silence
of the Republican platform in regard to
an income tax. The Republican party
represents the plutocratic elements oppos-
ed to such a tax. The men who would
contribute most to the support of gov
eminent under such a system of taxation
are Republicans. Most of the men who
own franchises, who have special priv
ileges and constitute the real capitalist
class are Republicans. Men like Mr..
Rockefeller. Mr.. Hartman, Mr.. Morgan
and Mr.. Schiff are naturally against an
income tax, and the Republican platform,
with fine disregard of all Mr.. Roose-
velts shrieks about swollen fortunes, ex-
presses by its silence their disapproba-
ton of such a system of raising revenue.
But why should the Democratic party
have thrown it over? Mr.. Bryan him
self voted for an income tax while a mem
Der of Congress. He always professed to
believe that law could be drawn which
the Supreme Court would sustain, just
as it twice sustained previous acts pro-
viding for an income tax. To wait for
q constitutional amendment is to wait for
years, perhaps for generation. A tax
on the hundreds of millions Of annual
income of the wealthy would go far to-
ward relieving the burden of taxation
now borne by people with small incomes
or almost no incomes at all. There is no
more just or equitable way of raising
public revenue. The Democratic party
ought to have taken a strong position on
this question. What excuse can it make
for surrender 2?
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1908-08-07

In an article printed recently in an
eastern magazine Mr.. Bryan expressed
the opinion that the Office of Vice Presi-
dent did not carry the responsibility to
which it was entitled and that the Vice
President should have more activity in
public life. Newspaper correspondents
made much of this statement, seeming to
regard it as a piece of news so far as
Mr.. Bryan's opinions are concerned.
Long ago Mr.. Bryan expressed himself,
plainly. on this point. In the first issue
of The Commoner, January %, 1901. Mr..
Bryan printed the following editorial;
1T has been intimated that Vice Pres
ident-elect Roosevelt is DESTROYS of re-
ceiving more consideration at the hands
of the President than has, as rule, been
given those occupying his position.
Whether or not the report is true is not

MR.. BRYAN'S PAPER


material, but the ambition, if he does
entertain it, is an entirely worthy one
"Why has the Vice President been so
generally ignored by the President in the
past? 1t is said that Mr. Breckenridge
was only consulted once by President Bu-
chanan and then only in regard to the
phraseology of a Thanksgiving proclama-
ton. This incident was related to a
later Vice President who was noted for
his skill at repartee and he replied, with
a twinkle in his eye: Well, there is one
more Thanksgiving day before my term
expires
According to the constitution the Vice
President succeeds to the Office in case
the President dies, resigns, is removed,
or becomes unable to discharge the duties
of the office. The public good requires
that he should be thoroughly informed
as to the details of the administration
and ready to take up the work of the
executive at moments notice. The Vice
President ought to be ex-offcio, member
of the Presidents cabinet; he ought to
sit next to the President in the council
chamber. Receiving his nomination from
a national convention, and his commits
sion from the people, he is able to fur
nish the highest possible proof that he
enjoys the public respect and confidence
and the President should avail himself of
the wisdom and discretion of such an adj
wiser While the responsibility for action
rests upon the occupant of the White
House. he is entitled to, and, of course,
desires all the light possible before de-
Gliding on any question.
Congress can by law impose upon the
Vice President the duty of giving such as
sistance to his chief, or the President can
of his own volition establish the prece-
dent and it would in all probability be
observed by his successors.
MANY public men have avoided the
second place on the ticket for fear it
would relegate them to obscurity; some
of Col. Roosevelt's friends objected to
his nomination on that ground. A cabi-
