million voters have constituted the
majority that stood between the pro-
lection OF the country's business in
tsrests and the menace of democracy.
The fundamental policies of the
two parties. are either for or against
the best interests of the country, and
those interests are in~separably allied
with induetrial prosperity, upon which
the prosperity of all the people de-
ponds. Far above the petty Issues
raised by the vote-6shers stands the
Issue OF the full dinner pail, the full
Gin, the full pay envelope. Plenty OF
business for the business nan has al
ways meant plenty OF work for the
workingman and plenty of markets
for the farmer. These are the trinity
OF our whole economic system and an
injury to either is an injury to all.
Republican candid aAes standing on
these issues may be defeated, but the
challenge of the opposition cannot go
unanswered. These ere not times
when the people weigh carefully the
fitness of candidates or the problems
most vitality affecting them. They are
not times of deliber alton but of hys-
terra, not of dispsssionate conserva-
tism but of wild and rabid radicalism.
But long after the epidemic of politi-
cal rabies has been stamped out and
cooler counsels have prevailed, the
fact will still remain that the Ameri-
can business man is one of the three
keystones in the arch of the nations
progress-one might say be is the cen
trail one of the three. The fact will
still remain that all political doctrines
must stand the ultimate acid test OF
their effect upon material prosperity
and that republican doctrines have
always been synonymous with the
largest easur of that paramount
concern of the people.-Kansas City
Journal.

The representation of the state OF
Mississippi in the republican national
convention-twenty delegates-is an
other glaring example Of the unfair.

The state of Montana, with q re-

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

There is big spring on the side of
Mt. Putnam where silvery river
gushes out out at the foot of a cliff,
and once a person drinks at this
place he never ceases to wish that 1t
could be piped direct to Blackfoot
for use every day in the year. The
quality is SO good, the supply so
ample the level so advantageous, it
seems like waste to let It run away
and lose itself in bed Of sand on
the reservation.
There is another supply in Black
foot that many people have discover
ed and are taking advantage Of. A
lady goes straight to the house or
supply, where the quality is good, the
supply ample and the level of prices
so satisfactory that when the goods
reach Blackfoot they can be sold at
prices that delight the customer and
vet make. a nice profit for handling.
