that the thoughtful, progressive
forces OF the nation may now at last
unite to give the country freedom of
enterprise and aGovernment releas-

rights of free competition and with
out such private understanding and
secret alliance as violate the prin-
ciple of our law and the policy of all

need fear either interference or en-
barrassment from the Administra-
ton. Our hope and purpose is now
to bring all the free forces OF the
nation into active and intelligent
cooperation. and to give to our
prosperity a freshness and spirit
and confidence such as it has not
had in our time.

OF INTEREST TO FRUIT MEN
A Simple and Satisfactory Way Of
Keeping Apples

Mr.. ]. p. Taylor, of Coleman

has devised new method of pre-
serving his apples through the win

satisfactory aud involves little ex-

Most any kind OF lum Der can be used

the fruit from the bottom, and a roof
sufficient to keep out the weather
is all that is necessary under or

sons. and results have been entirely
satisfactory. Left thus in the open

cellars or closely built houses, as
they do not become heated in warm
spells, and in the coolest weather d

To keep apples in cold storage
through the winter costs approxim-
ately $l.00 per barrel, and Mr.. Tay-
lor says that while he loses some
fruit by his method occasionally,th the
loss is only fraction of what the
storage would cost. He claims that
another big advantage OF his plan is
the superior quality of the fruit thus
kept, that flavor peculiar to cold
storage apples being entirely absent.
He keeps his apples right through

spring they are just as firm and
sound as when put in.-Bedford !

A New Birth of Freedom

~'NW &<AANn VI Il ICCQOu
Under the leadership OF Woodrow
Wilson the Democratic party has
won its greatest victory since 1852.
But this victory is no tawdry par
tisan triumph. 1t is no vote of con-
hdence in the Democratic party as a
party. 1t is a mandate from the
people, and woe be unto the leaders
OF this Democracy if they falter in
obedience to that madate.
The country is Seething with DO
liticai discomfort in spite Of its un-
paralleled material wealth and pros
perity. This discomfort is confined
to no particular class or section.
hich and poor alike, children of for
tune and children of poverty, have
begun to lose faith in the efficacy OF
their government to establish JUS
sice and promote the general well
fare. They are not sure where the
fault lies; they are not united as to
the remedy; but this they know
that their institutions have been
seized by privileged interests and
turned against them; that subtle.
mysterious forces operating unseen
have proved time after time that
their power over public affairs was
greater than the power OF the people
as whole, and they demand that
their government be emancipated
from this partnership.
