SOLEMN TRUTH
COMES AT LAST
From Stalwart Republic
can President.
.BRYANS SHOT HITS THE SPOT
Democratic Policy of 1906
INDICATED by Present
Financial Crisis.

An editorial by Mr.. Bryan in last
weeks Commoner that will cause
wide comment deals with a recent
statement by President Taft relative
to the high cost of living. Mr.. Bry-
ans editorial follows:
'In a speech delivered at the Lin
coin dinner, at the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel in New York on the night Of
February ~, President Taft declared
that the present high prices are
mainly due to an increase in the
measure of value-the volume Of
money. His exact words, as given in
italics in the New York Herald tho
next day, were:
1.-The reason for the rise In the
cost of necessities can easily be
traced to the increase in our measure
of values, the precious mteal. gold,
and possibly in some cases to the
combinations in restraint of trade
Here is the truth at last. This
confession would have been worth
hundreds of thousands Of votes to
the Democratic party in 1896 when
the Democrats were advocating more
money in order to protect thu coun-
try from falling prices and the Re
publicans were protesting that it did
not make any difference whether we
had much money or little, provided
it was all good. Mr.. Taft now en-
dOrses the cumulative theory of
money and attributes high prices to
more money" in order to shield his
party from the charge of raising
prices by means of the protective
tariff. Thanks to the President for
this new vindication of our party.
He is right in pointing to the in
creased production of gold as thu

ADVICE TO LOCAL
CORRESPONDENTS
Good Rules by Former
Editor Thomas
WHICH ARE WORTH HEEOING
His Experience Enables Him
TO Judge What is
Real News.

! Mr.. j. II. Thomas, formerly editor
of the Hartford Republican and one
of the best newspaper men in the
State, has the following excellent ad-
vice in the last issue of the Repub-
lican, and inasmuch as it applies
to all correspondents alike, we take
the liberty Of printing 1t. 1t is very
good. Read it, as follows:
Do you write local news for country
paper? If so, may be able to give
you some advice that will help to
make your letters more credi.abBe to
yourself as we'll as make them better
appreciated by the publisher.
l have stood at the bat as well
as in the box and happen 10 know
something of both ends of The game.
First, write plainly and with your
lines not too close together. This
helps the printer. Always num-
Der your pages with plain figures in
the upper left hand corner OF the
page. Remember always that you are
not writing to the editor, but to the
readers of his paper. AS a rule che
editor will feel personal interest in
the local news OF your neighborhOod,
but he is keenly anxious TO have you
report such happenings as will in
tereat his readers in your. communi-
ty. Births, deaths, marriages, serious
accidents, visitors from or 10 your
community, serious sickness and
strange or unusual incidents are real
ly news and the reporting of such
will be appreciated by both the editor
and his readers However, useful in
structions to correspondents consists
in advising wha. not to say rather
than in what to say. Don't mention
visits of one neighbor to another.
Such mentions are not news TO any
body and the editor prints them on

them you will get offended and not
report the real news of your neighbor-
hood thereafter. Don't say the Rev
erend Jones filled his regular appoint
ment at Mt. MOlehill church Sunday.
Everybody in the neighborhOod knows
1t and nobody else cares anything
about it. In mentioning deaths, IS

immediate family and personal friends,
they have no interest for the geler-
al public. Carefully avoid excessive
mention of yourself and family, men

names of other people, but always
mention yourself as Mr. or Miss or
Mistress, as If writing Of another
person. Never write anything that
can possibly be construed as reflect

In spite Of the fact that a great
deal of work has been done by exper-
1ment stations on grasshoppers. no
royal road to control has yet been
found. Each attack has to be con.
sidered on its own merits and relief
sought through the most promising
channel.
One OF the favorite remedies is ar.
senic bran mash. This Is made by
mixing one pound of white arsenic
with 25 pounds Of bran. The ar
senic Is so near the color of the
flour in the bran that it is not easy ia
tell when the mixing is well done. To
overcome this difficulty, the arsenic
may first be collected by adding a lit
tie dry paint.
After the bran and arsenic are well
mixed they should be moistened with
water. Put in just enough to make
the particles stick together. This
mixture should be scattered where

the silver was mined i'm Texar.
II Is pretty plain that Alabama and
all the rest of the south can get more

in that way be coined into gold. Tho

The remarkable versatility of the
new wagon bed is secured by hinged
malleable iron pieces attached to the
sides. These support two folding sec
lions on each side. The strain which
is put upon these pieces when heavy
loads are placed on the wagon makes
1t imperative that they should be of
strong, dependable material.
