TEAM H|TCHED TO
HAY RAKE runs away
The Young Son of Geo. F. Garth
Has Narrow Escape From
Serious Injury. .

Friday morning about nine
o'clock a team hitched to a hay rake
driven by James Garth, the thirteen
year old son of Geo. F. Garth, resid-
ing three miles north Of the city,
became frightened while being driv-
en- through a gate and ran away,
throwing the lad out and bruising
and cutting him up quite badly. The
boy was plucky and held on to the
lines and the team was stopped be-
fore they ran far.
The boy was brought to this city
to a physician who dressed his
wounds, none Of which are serious,
only one, a cash behind the ear, re-
quiring stitches. That the boy was
not more seriously hurt is almost
miraculous considering the kind of
vehicle to which the team was
hitched.

OFF TO annual CAMP
Forty.one Strong Leave for Camp
Dodge at Des Moines-Go by
Way of Tara.

Forty-one members of Company {
left yesterday a. m. for Camp Dodge
at Des Moines. This annual camping
trip is looked forward to every year
by the members of the Iowa Nation
al Guards, who have the time of
their lives during the ten days set
apart for camp. The majority of the
boys left over the Illinois Central at
10:0S yesterday a. M and will take
the special train at Tara from there
to Des Moines. This brings them
right to the camp ground several
miles from the capital city. The
grounds have been much improved
this year. Fine sanitation has been
provided and things never were in
better shape for the use of the
soldiers.
E. S. Boudinot and Geo. M. Ieed,
members of the regimentai staff, ac-
companied the company. Col. N. P.
Hyatt left over the Northwestern di-

White SOX TRIM
MED BY MASON CITY
Ball Game at Riverside Park Re.
suits in Score of 2 to Z in
Favor of Visitors.

The Webster City-Mason City ball
game Friday afternoon at River
side park resulted in a score of 2 to
Z, the larger digit being to the cred
it of the visitors. Five scores were
earned by Mason City, the other two
being the result of errors on the
part of the White Sox. The game
gave high promise at the opening of
being an extra fine demonstration,
four goose eggs being chalked up on
either side during the first four in
nings. In the fourth round Wilkus
of the local pitching staff
was replaced in the box by Vyskocil.
The former sprained his arm in the
first inning and asked to be relieved.
Vyskocil did good work, but the To-
Gals failed to put up the kind of
ball that would cope with Mason
City. No, can't even lay it to the
ump. Outclassed-tells the sad and
woeful tale.

Someone once remarked that
you could find plenty of good
wit and company around the
convivial board, but none around
the pump, which is equivalent to
saying that the minds of men
scintillate and flash brightest

must flow before wit can do so;
to which may added, that when
wine is in Wit is out" The man

The late J. Pierpont Morgan

The late J. Pierpont Morgan
gathered in his millions by high
finance methods that left a whole
lot of the common people" a
whole lot poorer. The principle
upon which men like the Morg
ans, Rockefellers and their ilk
proceed is, that it is dangerous
to leave any money in the hands
of the people who earn it by hard
work and save it by frugality
and self-denial. Most of the big
fortunes of our plutocracy are
ill.gotten, they never could have
been built up to their great size

What is the matter with busi-
ness" people are asking all over
the country. The Democrats
contend that the business de-
preston that has befallen the
United States within the past
year is not due to the policies of
their party; that this depression
is not peculiar to this country,
but is worldwide. This, howev-
er, is hardly an explanation, it is
a subterfuge to shift the respons-
ibility. European countries suf-
fer industrial depression chroni-
cally, while in this country such
depressions are always co-inci-
dent with Democratic rule in the
national government. The clos
ed factories and idle men are the
net results of the increased i'm
POI is of foreign e :ods. Under
the protective tariff system these
goods We're shut out and our own
labor supplied the home market.
The ratio of idle men in this
country is in the same proper
tion with the volume of foreign
made goods that enter our mar
kets. When we permit the for
eigner to supply our demand our
own factories and labor cannot
be applied and are useless; and
when these are idle the causes of
a business depression are so
prominent that no one should
need an explanation why the de-
preston exists The policy of
the Republican party, it can hap
PLY be pointed out in contrast
with the policy of the party now
in power, has always been gen
orally conducive to the industrial
and business welfare of the Uni
ted States. The way out of our
present difficulty is not difficult
back to the Republican party
and prosperity.

Bryan's Commoner says:
During the congressional cam
paign this fall, the Republicans
will be angling for the farmer
vote by telling him how fearful
will be the effect upon the prices
the farmer obtains for his pro
ducts, of the new Democratic
tariff law. Mind, the new law
has been in effect for over a year
and prices have not been damag.
ingly Affected
Yes, prices have not been ssri-
ously affected, although, as the
Commoner remarks, the new
Democratic tariff has been in eff
feet over a year. and we want to
know why. We want to know
what has become of that lower
cost of living the Democrats were
to bring about Immediately or
sooner through that very same
tariff law. Where is that lower
price for beefsteak and bacon,
porkchops and all other kinds of
grubstuff. That S25 suit of
clothes we were promised could
be bought for $3.50 when the
Democrats once got their tariff
in operation is still S25, if not
more. We are paying just as
much for shoes to-day as we did
under the Republican "robber
tariff" You build a home and
you find that the new Democrat
ic tariff has not reduced the cost
of the material a cent. And so
on all along the line. The Dem
ocrats will keep a close mouth
during the present campaign on
their promised lower cost of liv,
ing; their talk will all DO about
