JACKSON Cash-Book: "We were
forcibly reminded this week of the
benefits the people are receiving
under a Democratic administration as
compared with the Republican ad-
ministrations under which they
struggled SO long against the nu-
merous trusts and combinations which
made them pay monopoly prices on
80 many Of the ne%cessaries of life.
We had Charley Query, the Standard
Oil agent here, pat fifty gallons Of
coal oil in u tank, for which we. paid
him $2.s5. When we were basking in
the sunlight of those beautiful old Re-
publican days the price of coal oil was
very much higher than that. And
gasoline for our engine here at the Of
flee, as well as coal oil for our stove
at home, was much higher in price
than now-about 10 cents a gallon.
Since the Democratic administration
has gone after the oil trust we are
getting coal oil at about 5 cents a
gallon and gasoline at about 8 cents.
The Republican party fostered and
built up the trusts for fifty years /.
During that time the people were
made to pay monopoly prices for all
trust-controlled products. Under
Democratic rule at Washington the
antitrust laws are being enforced,
and the people are feeling the good
effects of it,"

RedmOndyille.

In the west end of Iron County
Among the woods and hills,
There is a little city
That we call Redmondville.
There r stores, shops, and factories,
And more than one saWmill,
And an automobile runs our streets
How's that for Redmondville?
We have a fine new school house
Upon college street,
And the awfulest, awfulest teacher,
Spanks the pupils twice a week.
But he is leading them in the path
Where knowledge is their guide.
They will be the future rulers of state
All over this country wide.
AS for the good people of Redmond
vile
They are socially inclined,
To have balls, ice cream suppers,
And other jolly times.
But the thing we're all looking for,
And, perhaps we always will
Is that railroad, MI. Redmond Black
Is going to build thro Redmondville.
But / guess it's sure coming
For wise men say it will,
And very soon you'll see,
Locomotives going thro' Redmond
vile.
And when you see a private car
Come putting around the hill,
You "a just say it's the President
Coming to see about Redmondville.
We invite and welcome everyone,
To come TO our fair land,
Wen meet you at the station with an
automobile,
And music by the band.

LEO FRANK, serving a life term for
alleged murder of Mary Phagan, was
taken from the State Prison Farm at
Milledgeville, Georgia, by a small
mob and lynched last Monday night,
To an outsider it looks as if there must
have been connivance between his
custodians and the lynchers. Any
way, the occurrence is a disgrace to a
state whose extreme "dryness" is its
other distinguishing feature.

Indications in official quarters that the

acceptable to the United States
Just what means would be adopted
to inform Germany of the disapproval
of the United States is not apparent.
1t is believed, however, that Ambassa-

a day or two to make clear in adj
vance of the receipt of the formal and
final copy of the German note that
he is unable to make any comment.

Charters for five new state banks
were approved today by the state
charter board. 1t was the largest
number of bank charters granted at
single session of the charter board
in more than a year. Application for
a sixth charter was rejected owing to
the fact that two applications came
from the same town which justified
the location of but one new bank.
New banks, under action of the
state board, will be established in Var
ner KinSman county; Walker Ellis
county: Wright, Ford county; Kismet,
Seward county. and Inman, McPher-
son county. Each of the new banks
is chartered with a capitalization of
