course for honest Republicans,
who are Progressives, to pursue
is to vote for the Democratic
nominee. The Wilson National
Progressive League is daily re-
ceiving notable excessions. The
number now exceeds so, 900, and
it has headquarters in all the
large cities. The whole trend of
the country is toward Democrat
ic principles and there seems
nothing so sure as that Wilson
will be elected. He cannot fail
to be if every Democrat does his
duty. !

Next Tuesday will decide the
great national contest and set the
the country at rest for four more
years. If the very best of signs
do not miscarry the Democratic
nominees will be elected by one
of the most pronounced MAORI
ties any party has ever received
in this great country OF expand
ing industries and wealth. 1t
may be said that the Democratic
nominees are exceedingly fortu
nate by reason of the Republican
war; it may also be claimed that
this alone forms the base of
Democratic victory. but the truth
the whole truth, is that such
is not the case, and that Demo-
cratic victory rests on the de-
mands of the great common peo-
pie and by reason Of this, the
ruling party for the last half
century is torn to pieces. The
tariff is the real issue. There is
no lodging this and wherever at
tempted falls fiat. No longer
are the millions who toll content
to pay tribute to the protected
interests that have prospered by
governmental favoritism. The
Democratic party advocates the
doctrine that the government has
no legal or moral right to collect
a tax for any other purpose than
to meet legitimate governmental
expenses. 1t openly asserts that
class favoritism is contrary to
the spirit OF the constitution.

people and the wall behind
which the Trusts are entrenched.
The people are demanding its
abolition and a tariff for revenue

in Republican ranks Wilson and
Marshall would be victors.

The three cornerd fight is but
the natural consequences CT a
long reign of applied policies
detrimental to common interests.
1t results from a strong demand
of Republican voters to reduce
the tariff and free business from
the clutches of concentrated
combinations that ccntrOll the
products of farms, factories and
mines. The trusts must be sup
pressed, business freed and hon.
est endeaver legitimately sustain
ed, short of this no permanent
settlement can be reached. The
trusts must go and the people
rule and direct the affairs of the
country. This condition is a
triumph for the Democratic
party whose preachings have
been constant and forceful for
the last fifty years. 1t also
means that no special interests
will longer be permitted to sway
the sovereigntyof the country and
force tribute in disguise. The
final battle is at. hand. The
champions of honest government
have no fears of the decision.

"Do you sell these incense sticks
joss sticks, punk sticks or whatever
you call 'em?" asked a young man in
a department store.
"Why, yes" answered the clerk.
"But we don't have much call for them
at this time of the year"
"You don't. Why not? Don't the
girls want to smell up their places
dens and all that-in the winter
time?"
Shoot! Girls don't buy them things
to smell up dens with. Don't you know
when we have our big sale for that
stuff? No? Why, it's in the summer
when everybody sits outdoors. Yes,
sir. We sell 'em to girls who amt as
popular as they want to be. They light
'em and stick 'em around on the porch,
and then any fellow passing by the
house thinks that the lights are on
the ends of cigars and cigarettes be-
ing smoked by a lot Of callers. Yes,
sir. Then the passerby wonders why
the girl had so many fellers calling on
her and he comes in to see.
"But in the winter time, Of course,
that don't work. The only folks that
buys em at this season are these
would-be Bohemians-and even them

Back in the lean years, when she had
been slender, eager-eyed girl with
a golden voice, who frankly hailed
from Omaha, he had met her at one
of his sisters musicales in the east.
Kit Murray, they called her then.
She was about seventeen, with a
mass of reddish hair, framing tense,
determined face, with big, dreamy,
almost resentful eyes. She had been
resentful, too, of his proffers OF
friendship and assistance so far as
her career was concerned. S.Ie would

work and effort. 1t had not been
with her consent that his sister had

CAUSES FAVORABLE COMMENT
GRANGE at Midway, Mass, Takes Step
for Civic Betterment That Meets
With Hearty Response.

The Grange at Midway, Mass. Is
creating. much favorable comment IN
its vicinity, followed by growing in
terest in it's work by taking step
for civic betterment that meets a
hearty response from the people OF
the town. For several months this
Grange has been at work raising
money, until it has now nearly $500
available, with which 1t proposes to
erect two drinking fountains in the
village. They will be substantial af
fairs, practical and useful, and will be
arranged for the most convenient
service of the people
The fountains will be set in place
this fall and the time of their COM
pletion will be made the occasion for
formal dedication exercises, at which
prominent state officers of the order
and others will participate, while the
town will heartily accept so valuable
and needed gift. The Medway
Grange members have entered very
heartily into this undertaking. and
interest In the regular Grange work
has been distinctly increased and in
tensified because of this effort of phil
anthropic nature. Only q short time
ago this Grange lost its quarters, with
all its equipment, by fire, but notwith-
standing the necessity for immediate
ly replenishing its own. this plucky
Grange has kept straight ahead with
its drinking fountain plans and now
rejoices in the near completion Of the
project
