NO NEED OLE "A THIRD PARTY.

The third party movement which
was launched at Chicago on August
9Th, il in every way Roosevelt party,
formed more for the purpose of graft
tying hi political ambition, than to
to serve any useful. political purpose.
The fact H., there il no need for
such a movement in the politics or
our country at this time, and except
for Mr. Roosevelt's strenuous person
atty it would 60 to pieces before the
next moon.
The sober sense OF the country ID
beginning to see how foolish and I'M
necessary at this j., and many
thoughtful Republicans will gravitate
into the Democratic party. This we think
il, under the circumstances the natu-
raj thing for them to do, for the rea-
son, that MI. Taft represents the Ct
fete and WORKOUT principles Of the Re
publican party, which thousands Of
today repudiate. Upon
LIE OtnSI manu-, Ill ludL - SOOu anu
desirable for the country, and which
the progressive thought Of the peo-
pie calls for, and which the Roose-
welt party stands for, IL embraced i'm
the platform Of the Democratic party.
20 that, many prominent Republi-
cans, and many Of the rank and file,
are seeing, and will see clearer as the
campaign advances, that it j. foolish
for them to fire their ballots in the
air by voting for either Taft or Roose-
welt, and will come to the standard OF
the Democratic party, under the sane
and safe leadership Of % good man
as Woodrow Wilson.

SMALL TOWN ADVERTISING.

- unusual feature of the meeting
OF the Western Iowa Editorial Associ-
alton atCouncil Bluffs recently was an
address On the subject Of advertising
from viewpoint Of the retail merch-
ant by David Oransky, a well-known
merchant and advertiser Of Atlantic,
Ia. Mr.. Oransky spoke on Retail
Advertising from the Viewpoint of the
Merchant" and he declared that the
merchant should advertise the quail
ity and adaptability Of his goods rath-
er than depend on advertising prices.
He spoke in part a. follows
''It is a sad but too true fact that
country merchants a. a rule are NOT
extensive advertisers. I am convinc-
ed that they should advertise regular
ly and persistently. believe 20, not
only because some people who are
supposed to know say 20, but also be-
cause my actual experience in con
nection with retail advertising in a
small town has demonstrated to me
the far-reaching benefits, both direct
and indirect, to be derived from per-
sistent advertising"

Governor Wilson has spoken with en-
thusiasm OF the steps promised in the
Democratic platform, and already un-
dertaken by the Democratic majority
in Congress, to use the influence and
resources of the National Government,
with it's constitutional limitations, for
extending and developing agricultural
industrial and vocational education in
the United States. This, he said, was
the foundation of industrial progress,
recognized as such by Americas COM
petitors, and absolutely necessary if
we would hold our place among the
nations in commerce and industry.
There are only three lines in the
Democratic platform upon tits sub
ject," he declared, "but there Is not a
line in the Republican platform,
while there are 20 many lines in the
Bull Moose platform that 7 have not
yet found any reference to it. 1t is a
Sabbath days journey through that
document, and if there is anything in
it on this subject, have not yet come
to it." This was his only reference to
the third term party c. it, candidate,
though the audience, by it's applause,
showed that it was eager for more.

THE CHAUTAUQUA.

The Chautauqua which has just
closed in Westminster, was one OF the
most notable events which has ever
occurred in our town
1t is an organization which is in
tended to touch and elevate every
portion Of the community i'm which il
appears. Men and women who have
come to the sober and reflective age;
those Who are in middle life, and are
engaged with its cares and RESPONSE
bilities, and the youth and the child
rem, are all touched and delighted and
helped by what this marvellous or
ganization presents.
There is not a thing in it from be-
ginning to end that il Off color, and
nothing that is not dignified and re
fined and helpful. Amy community
may consider itself fortunate, that
can have the opportunity of a week

largely than any other single factor

THE INNER LIFE.

Tit would be almost a. if we had
come back from the dead if we could
look into the hearts of any househld
of common folk; If we could but see
their inner life uncovered-the disap-
pointments Of their daily lot, the
broken ambitions, the griefs, and then
with what good cheer they front the
present life, 50 narrowed from the
scope of youthful dreams; how loyal
they are to the days work, % shrunk-
en- from early hopes; with what pa
tience they adapt themselves to i'm
perfect companionships; how invinci-
bly, the dreariest of folk face danger
and monotony. Under the hard sur
face life Of our fellows lies the human
heart. When that heart j. seen, all
men are one-Colliers.

Of misinforming it, Farmer patrons
concerning the, tariff the Sentinel

ducts that prevailed during the year
1896, and assumes, while it does not

reduction of tariff duties provided by
the so-called "Wilson Bill and then
proceeds to make garb1ed extracts
from our files to vindicate it's assump-
ton and lend character to it, senti-
ment
Had our contemporary been dis
posed to deal fairly with the question
it would have cited the entire article
which sets forth, from our point Of
view, the causes which contributed to
the great depression then existing in
the price OF everything throughout
the civilized world-in the highly pro-
tected countries, a. well a. all others,
with which the tariff had no more to
do than it has with the ebb and flow
of the tides
The real causes of the then collapse
in the price Of all commodities, here
and elsewhere, were many and complex
Among the most potent which led UP
to it were the financial disturbances
in South America which resulted in
the failure OF the great banking firm
of Barring Bros. which had a most de-
pressing effect upon our credit and
our commerce. The capitalists Of
Great Britain have for many years
been large holders of American stocks
;and securities; they have furnished
the money to build and equip our rail-
roads, to develop our mines, to carry
forward our great industries; hence
We were very largely in their debt.
Having large investments in South
America when the stress in the
Argentine government began to be
felt, it was but natural that they
should throw upon the market their
holdings of our stocks and securities,
which caused them to decline TO a
most alarming extent, impoverishing
thousands who were unable to bear
the loss. This resulted ln large ex-
ports of gold to Earope, which added
no little to the general distress. I'm
the midst Of it all Congress passed
the Sherman Bill'' which stopped the
coinage OF silver, and required the
Government to purchase 100000
ounces of silver Bullion each month,
and to pay for the same with Treas
ury notes redeemable in gold; thus
regulating silver from coin metal to
a commodity, and to an enormous ex-
tent contracting our currency and
thereby doubling the purchasing
power of that which remained, and
CORRESPONDENCE lowering the price Of
all things purchasab1e.
Close upon the heels of all this
came a revision Of the financial sys-
TENS of all the countries Of Europe
a. well a. our own, whereby the
Gold standard was adopted; the merits
of which have long since passed from
the forum Of debate, but which was
a most costly transition indeed, anC
which, perhaps, contributed more
