PLATFORM IS AGREED ON
Committees Draft Upheld BY
Democratic Convention.
War Waged For Wet and Dry Planks
Fails In Convention-Debate
Lasts For Hours.

San Francisco-The Democratic plat
form as framed in the resolutions COM
mittee, declaring for the peace treaty,
expressing sympathy for Ireland ana
saying nothing at all about prohibition,
came unscathed through furious
floor fight and was adopted without
amendment in a great avalanche or
applause.
w. J. Bryan led the fight for adop-
tion of his bone dry plank, but it was
buried after a dramatic day of debate
by a majority so overwhelming that he
did not even ask for roll calls on the
four other minority reports which he
had prepared.
A cider, wine and beer plank cham
pioned in an emotional speech by w.
Bourke Cochran of New York, also
was thrown out by the convention
along with a plank for recognition of
the Irish republic backed by several
organizations of Irish sympathizers.
Glass and Colby victors.
In the battle for the platform as
framed by the committee the forces
were led by Secretary Colby and Sen
! ator Glass, Virginia, during debate
| in which both sides stirred delegates
and spectators to repeated bursts OF
emotional enthusiasm. Mr.. Bryan got
bowling demonstration of 20 minutes
after he concluded his speech for the
bone dry plank, but when the ballot
ing began it became apparent that
much of the enthusiasm was per
sonal tribute to his past service to the
party, and not an expression of sym
pathy with his present views.
With the platform adopted, the con
vention was up with it's schedule and
the voting on presidential candidates
began.

He was not hunter, himself, but his
neighbOrs were generous and kept him
supplied with venison and bear meat.
He was not fond of wild meat, but pre-
ferred beef and pork to game.
How different is the county now,
compared to the early days of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edming on their lonely homestead
Then the country was one vast wilder
ness for many miles i'll all directions.
Now, open farms have taken places
of the thick forests and bodies of heavy
timber are few. The settlers axe and
the forest fires have leveled the timber
from the best lands and good farm
buildings and home groves dot the land
scape all about. A productive farming
country, TILED and managed by intelli-
gent farmers, now greets the traveller
going through the country by autOmO-
bile over as excellent dirt roads as
there are in the state.

Tuesdays school district meeting in
Ladysmith showed that the, taxpayers
and patrons of the district tiO take an
interest in their school affairs, al
though at some former meetings it did
seem that they were not much con-
cerned. There was a comparatively
good attendance, and certainly q lively
interest was manifested in every QueS-
ton and action which came before the
meeting. Notwithstanding the good
attendance and interest shown, re-
narkab!e spirit Of harmony prevailed
and the good work of the school board
was properly and enthusiastically en-
lOrSed On only one point was there
lack of unanimity of sentiment-the
dcpositing of school district funds
and that. we believe. was settled fair
~ The malcOntents, if there are still
any in the district. were conspicuous
by their absence, and did not take
enough interest in the proceeding tC
attend the meeting, or, at least tC
voice their sentiments. The apparent
ly unanimous sentiment in favor OF
more pay for teachers, expressed in the
vote for an increased levy of about
$1,000 to cover this extra expense
shows that the people believe in having
good talent in our school faculty an(
! is a sign of prOgressiveness.

WHEN RUSK co.
WAS FOREST
Narrative of A Pioneer Who
Endured the Hardships
Of Early HOmesteaders

John Edming, a pioneer settler OF the
town of True. was in the city on bust
ness last week.
Mr.. Edming was one of the first
settlers. if not the first, in the part of
the country where he now resides.
His farm home is mile and half
southeast of Glen Flora.
Mr.. Edming is not an old man in
years, being 50 years of age, but he is
old in pioneering. He knows the hard
ships and privatiOns which early settlers
in the wilderness had to endure Now
he is Well-t0-dO. has a farm of 240
acres in one of the richest parts of
Rusk county and he and his wife are
reaping the reward of hard work and
frugality. They have Il good. well-im-
proved farm, and a good home and farm
buildings.
1t was in 1885 that Mr.. Edming made
homestead entry on government land.
There were 24,000 acres of government
land in that part of the county then
and he had the pick of it. He made a
good selection near the survey line
of the 500 road. The road had been
constructed as far east as Bruce and it
was from this town that the sturdy
pioneer carried his groceries and other
supplies along the brushed-Out right
Of-way of the new railroad
In getting to his homestead from
Bruce a distance of 24 miles. Mr.. Ed
ming had to cross the Chippewa and
Flambpau rivers, besides several small
err streams. This was accomplished
either by boat or over suspension
bridges built of ropes supporting
planks. To obtain ready money with
which 10 purchase needed supplies Ed
ming worked on the job of brushing the
right-Of-Way.
When the road was built through as
far as what is now Glen Flora Cat first
called Miller'S Siding), he got his sup
plies hauled in on gravel trains. There
were great numbers of deer and other
big game in this country then, and il
was no uncommon sight for Mr.. Edmins
to see Il herd of deer on his homestead

DOG SAVES cHILDREN'S LIVES
Barking Airedaie Terrier Arouses Family Asleep In Burning Home
 in Wisconsin.

Kenosha, wis.-The lives of three motherless children and their father were saved at an early hour by Jewel, an Airedale terrier, who discovered the fire that was rapidly destroying the home of Carl Wenderoth, and aroused the family by clawing and barking at the burning door.
 Mir. Wenderoth awoke to find the house afire and the roof over the room in which he and the children were sleeping about to fall in. He was bad ly burned about the hands. face and neck while carrying the children to place of safety.
 Jewel was tied to wire clothes hne' which ran from the house to the Ken neI. He sensed that the fire meant danger for his master and his three playmates and dragged his leash along the wire until he could reach the door.

NEW COLONY FORMED
Youngest Government in World
 Set Up in ESthonia.
Russian Refugees Living on Old Es- tates That Formerly Housed
 Barons.

Revel, Esthonia.-The youngest gov ernment in the world is one that has just been set up by a colony of 25,00O Russian refugees that followed the army of Yudenitch into the border lands of Esthonia. These people, in small colonies of several hundred each, are living on old Baltic estates in mansions that formerly housed barons whose titles date back many centuries.
 According to an American Red Cross report, governor and town council on each of these estates of several hundred refugees make this section of the Esthonian republic one of the few peaceful spots in the most disorganized corner of Europe.
 Every class of society is represent ed in this democratic government, and many of the refugees who are now in rags and tatters were once people of wealth and high station in Russia.
 When these thousands of homeless miserable people poured into Esthonia the authorities were overwhelmed with the task of protecting them. The es- tates of the old ruling class were com. mandeered by the government and turned over to the use of the refugees to avoid the possibility of their wan dering at large through the towns and villages

CTS were ascribing the high cost of raw materials to the scarcity of supplies. Then the Times called att tention to the fact that the imports of hides and skins had been ex- tremely large in quantity and that many more had been added by the killing of greater numbers of do- mestic animals. By all the rules of the game this should have meant an abundance of leather. The mys- tery was what became of the skins. From recent disclosures it would appear that the hides and skins duly passed through the tanneries and were converted into leather. This, it seems, was then packed away in storage in various parts of the country, even as far west as Cali fornia. And great deal of these accumulations are still in storage and being withheld from the market. The manifest purpose of this hoard ing was to create an artificial scare ity and to give plausible pretense for high prices of leather and shoes. What has now checkmated the con- tinuance of the scheme is the in- ability to finance further the carry ing of these accumulated stocks of leather. The prices began to shoot up quickly after government control of them ceased and January 31 of last year. In seven months the in creases in price of hides ranged from 88 to 176 per cent and leath- CT figures followed suit. Recently prices have begun to tumble and they are likely to go much lower if the law of supply and demand is to govern. Even fifth tanners take a vacation for few months there will be leather enough to go round for a long period to come.-New York Times.

THE ALARMING USE OF DOPE"

There are between one million and two million drug addicts in this country who spend a total of at least sixty-one million dollars a year for dope. At least twenty-five per cent of this number are not working and so are costing the country $150, 100000 year, to say nothing of the crimes and evils re- sulting from drug addiction. The United States uses 470.000 pounds of opium annually and of the 15O,- 900 ounces of cocaine made from imported coca leaves, only one fourth is used for legitimate pur- poses. Most of the eddicts are said to be native Americans and a large number are minors.
 The tragedy of so many candi- dacies is that they just won't jell.

 rha present shortage has arisen In |nls of the fact that farm wages are I to 2b per cent higher than last ns The situation, unremedied, can I fafl to have unfavorable effect on rpducticn, according to the United Ihtes department of agriculture. and dnl tend to prevent any reduction in k prices of farm products. While ke total acreage undoubtedly will be sduced as a result of the present situ- uon, 1t will not be in as large propor- don as the reduction in the labor sup aly because the farmers with their families are exerting themselves to he utmost to overcome their handicap. Cultivation this year will be less in endve than formerly. More land will put into grass and such other crops ' require a minimum of labor, it is I'd, and the tiled fields will be less htensively cultivated.
 Secretary Meredith calls on all bus hess men and students to spend their ummer holidays helping relieve the resent situation and so aid in com aung high living costs.
