New Threshing Outfit.

Forrest Bradfeld received a new
Belle City separator and gasoline
traction engine from the International
Harvester company Thursday of last
week. Machinists and a representative
Of the company were here and Friday
and Saturday was spent in unloading
the machinery from the car and setting
it up. Everything was put In shape
by Saturday evening and the outfit
pulled into the Rust Lumber yard to
wait for the rains to cease 30 that 1t can
be put to work. This is nobby little
outfit. The engine is 15-horse-power
and weighs 1900 pound, while the sep
arator Is a "a < 38 machine with self
feed and cyclone stacker, aud will
thresh from seventy-five to a hundred
and twenty-five bushels of oats per
hour. 1t weighs 800 pounds.
This outfit has many advantages over
larger outfits. In Travelling on the
road it is not as wide as the larger
engines which is to its advantage on
narrow roads and the weight Is not
sufficient to break down or damage
bridges. Team, driver and tank for
hauling water is dispensed with; no
bothering with wood or coal; no wait
ing to get up steam as the engine can
be put in full motion In less than .
minute, and there Is no danger to
stacks or shed from sparks from the
engine. The separator Is built on
the latest scientific principles aud is
guaranteed to do first-class work.
Mr.. Bradfield expects to begin thresh-
ing In the valley within the next week
II the weather will permit. This outfit
was made for our river road and the
ranchen along the Dolores will have

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.

In launching his proposition for a
central national bank Chairman Aid
rich bids defiance to the ghost of
Andrew Jackson. This may or may
not be an act of bravery. Andrew
jackson has been dead a good many
years; and the people Of these United
States don't stand much in fear of
ghosts, anyway. But President Taft
has done something which cannot be
done with impunity. In going about
the country as the forerunner of Mr..
AIdrich the great past master in trust
craft, and proclaiming him to be g one
of the ablest statesmen in either house -
the nation, Mr.. Taft babe defiance to
the spirit of the American people. This
spirit, which overthrow king craft, will
discomft trust craft. The people will
arouse themselves and shake off the
rule Of Aldrich and Cannon.

state officials issued in the name Of the

have you protest against the public deg

II call upon you in addition to all
the carnival spirit that has proper
place in the day, to keep it first as d

God, and, if the state is afraid to recog-
nize religion, let us as Christians, keep
alive the devotions and gratitude for

One Thing at a Time.

To the Democrat: Whether it be for
the best or not, | am unable to say,
but it seems to be fact that the people
of our country will pay close attention
TO but one thing at a time. That but
little if any advance has been made in
recent years along lines Of real reform
is due to the shrewdness of politicians
in confusing the voters with multi
tude Of issues which divide the voters
into helpless squads, when they should
be, and would have been for this trick
cry, united in support Of measures of
real worth.
For instance, does any one believe
had the matter of free trade with Can
ada been squarely before the voters at
any one election for the past dozen
years that our answer would have been
freedom Of exchange?
Has there ever been a valid reason
given for preventing the people of our
country from exchanging freely the
goods they do not need with our neigh
bors in Canada? IF such reason exists
[ have not seen or heard of it.
Yet our people have not been permit
ted to express themselves directly on
that always has it been con-
fused, and purposely so, with a score of
other issues in no way related to it ex-
cept to obscure it.
\ Could the question, 'Shall coal, lum-
Der, iron ore, salt, wool, be increased in
price by protective tariff be brought
singly, squarely, directly home to
yes or mo" ballot of the people,
think you they would fail to see their
interests and vote to remove the injus-
tice of the increase due to tariff taxes
by removing those tariffs? Canvass the

A NEW DEP Arturo.

Senator Cullom of Illinois is afraid Of
the western revolt against high tariff
taxation and would have the Repub-
lican party make friends with the white
people of the south by making the
the southern states beneficiaries Of pro
lection and by curtailing the political
right of the negro. 1t is a discreditable
proposition.
The Springfield Republican says;
The fact of Mr. Cullom's recreancy
as Lincoln republican is less offensive
than it's declared purpose. This is to
save the protected interests in their
high tariff privileges Of taxing the peO-
pie for their own excessive profit. To
secure to them this mess of pottage
Senator Cullon would barter away the
dearly bought rights of a whole race.
To fill the pockets of favored few
among the whites, he would reduce the
colored people to state Of political
servitude His position morally is no
different from that of the ante bellum
slave aristocracy which held a people
in servitude to create and maintain its
privileged position.
1t i'll becomes one who has voted for
protection all his life to talk about
DISTINGUISHING anybody.

Spelling, Writing and Adding
Contest

Lancaster Herald: 1t was indeed
gratifying to note that the county
board not only acted favorably on Supt.
Brockert's suggestion that $50 be ap-
propriated to defray the expenses of a
Spelling, Adding and Writing Contest
next year but added an extra fifty thus
making their appropriation 800. In
perhaps no better way can be shown
the sentiment throughout the county
regarding this contest. The board
members acted as perhaps three fourths
of their tOwnspeople would. Never has
a school event taken place in this sec
ton that has brought out so much en-
thusiasm and interest and at the same
time conferred such a lasting benefit
upon the participants as did the first
annual Spelling, Writing and Adding
contest held here last spring.

not? Can we change by tariff taxes the
fertility of soil? Can we thus modify
climate, water power, wealth of mines

ADVICE TO WON EN-.
A Message from Famous Beauty
Specialist to Women Lacking i'm
Energy and Vitality.

Thousands of women vainly attempt
to improve their compilations and to
remove blackheads, crows feet and
other blemishes, through the use of
cosmetics. This treatment fails be
| cause the trouble lies far deeper than
the skin. They are suffering from i'm
pure and impoverished blood. Thi
condition is in many cases due to
catarrhal conditions of the whole sys-
tenn which finds its expression in sallow,
muddy complexion, dark circled eyes
general weakness of the system, and
perhaps most plainly in the weeping of
mucous membranes that is commonly
called catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is, proper
ly speaking, Catarrh. Danish this
catarrh, and the complexion will clear
as if by magic, eyes will brighten, faces
become rosy and shoulders erect.
Perfect beauty goes only with perfect
health, and perfect health for women
can only be obtained through one GER
tain treatment-that which will cure
catarrh.
Nine. Swift, New York, the famous
beauty specialist known throughout the
world and>an accepted authority on all
relating thereto, states that the one
positive and permanent relief for ca
tarrh is Rexall Muco Tone. Here is
her letter:
Il can strongly endorse the claims
for Rexall Muco Tone as a cure for
systematic catarrh. It's tonic effects
are remarkable. 1t builds up the
strength and restores vitality. If WON
EN- who are tired and run down, lacking
in energy and vitality, will use Rexall
Mucu Tone, they will praise as do its
strengthening and healing qualities.
ReXall Mucus Tone works through
the blood, acting upon the mucous cells
The congestion and inflammation of
which causes local catarrh. This
remedy causes poison to be expelled
from the system, and the blood is puri
fled and revitalized. Thus the natural
functions of the mucous cells are re
stored, and the membranes are cleansed
and made strong. We know that Rex
all Mucu Tone does relieve catarrh.

money paid us for this remedy in every
case where the user is dissatisfied. 1t

President Taft.

The Milwaukee Journal: Taft pre-
fers to compromise great question
rather than to make a fight for the
right; ne prefers to take counsel of
those who deceive and betray him
rather than to consult men who will
tell him the truth; he works along the
lines of least resistance instead of max
ing an earnest effort to accomplish
something. He is easy going to the
point where this sort of thing spells in
efficiency.
The assertion Of friend like Collier S
that a good Democrat could defeat Taft
tomorrow if an election were held is
very significant. 1t shows how rapidly
confidence in him has dwindled. From
an object Of affection and admiration he
has become a source Of anxiety.
