1t will bring the word peace into the
thought and conversation Of all our
people forever.
We need above all things just now
. national bulletin-not q newspaper,
but bulletih-under bipartisan con-
troll, furnished to all who desire it at a
nominal cost; bulletin which will pre-
sent to. the people the issues upon
which they must act, with editorials
presenting the arguments for and
against the action proposed, so that
every. citizen may intelligently exercise
the duties of citizenship and give to
ment and his conscience
The avenues of information are at
present in private hands, and the edi-
tors, being human, have bias which
makes it impossible for them to pre-
sent both sides fairly, and, to make the
situation worse, the great predatory in
terests are in position to influence
many newspapers in addition to those
which they absolutely control. If there
is anything for which a government
like ours can afford to spend money, it
is to inform those upon whose will the
government rests.
''The initiative and the referendum
are not new. For quarter of century
the idea has been growing and spread

into operation in states like Ohio. H.

opposition Of those who are not willing

their own destiny through govern
ment entirely within their control. The
progress that democracy is making
throughout the world ought to encour.
age our party TO make the adoption Of
the principle of the initiative and ref
erendum its next great reform, a re-
form entirely in harmony with the cleo
tion of Senators by the people and the
primary. The people are the source of
authority, and any machinery which OBJ
structs the popular will and puts into
the hands Of the minority the right to
determine the course Of the govern
ment is antagonistic to our institutions
and must give way before the progress
of popular government.

in the science of government, and we
must not hesitate to express in practice
our own faith in the principles that we
proclaim. Our party must respond to
the cafl that comes from every state
and from across the sea to apply to
every problem the principles of de-
mocracy. Faith in the people-faith in
their capacity for government. as

Called ''Fishy'' as Admin

Declaring he was not satisfied with
explanations given by dealers for the
advance in prices since Monday of siA
commodities, Federal Food Administra
tor Arthur Williams refused yesterday
TO make public a new fair price list
He asked that retailers abide by the
list published on Monday.
These lists. which have served as .
guide for housewives shopping ct cash
and carry stores. have been issued
every Monday and Thursday since Au-
gust 20 When the market reports were
obtained by Mr.. Williams's staff and it
was seen that the prices of eggs, -four,
oats. onions, potatoes, rice, bacon and
pork loins had davanced perceptibly in
the last three days the food adminis-
traitor demanded an explanation from
wholesale and retail merchants.
Federal Action Threatened
He called these explanations "fishy.'
He said they seem insincere and subter-
fuges. If necessary. he said, he would
place Federal operatives on the &C
counts and activities OF dealers in an
effort to learn true conditions.
For me to issue price list based
on the figures submitted to me from the
usual Sources Mr.. Williams said

United States Food Administration or

The Food Admins traitor was aroused

fresh eggs, which we're quoted at six
cents d dozen more yesterday than or

jected by Mr.. Williams. was that the
recent cold snap had cut down pro-
duction. They reminded him that the

chants. The rise in the bacon and
pork loin was attributed to "steady y
demand and reduced supply"
Shoe Advance Opposed
The Food Administrator also went on
record yesterday as opposing an in-
crease in the price of shoes unless
manufacturers and jobbers can shon

IS absolutely necessary. He said he
would fight any attempt to boost shoe

CROSS OF GOLD
Won FOR BRYAN
DARK HORSE CONVENTION OF 1896
IS STILL FRESH IN MINDS OF
MANY DEMOCRATS FROM FAMOUS
SPEECH.
BY gibson GARDNER.

The Chicago democratic convention
OF 1896 was 'darkhorse" convention.
William ]. Bryan was the dark horse
Of that affair, emerging as a youngster
to figure in the contest as '.the boy
orator Of the Plattee., and to set the
country by the ears with his discus
sion OF unlimited coinage Of silver at
the ratio of 16 to and his denucia-
tions-very eloquent denuciations-of
corporations and trusts.
The Bryan nomination was the Gull
mination of movement in the party
to overthrow the machine control Of
the democ, ttic party by the old Cleve-
land democracy. David B. Hill Of New
York and others bossed the Irregular
organization democrats. All 1.-The early
functioning of the convention was I'M
der the regular old guard auspices. 1t
was tame and proper and avoided the
subject of free silver and hard times.
But there were present among the
delegates many from the west whose
hearts were filled with protest and

who had worked laboriously and long
to spread the idea that the democratic
candidate must voice the opinions of
the disconnected rural population.
Wheat was selling for less than dol
lar a bushel, and other farm products
in proportion.
Silver was much more plentiful than
gold, and. IL il were all coined into
dollars, the farmer felt that there would
be more dollars with which to pay
mortgages and buy wheat and that in
some way his condition would be bet
tered.
And this clamor voiced itself in a
demand for the unlimited coinage of
silver in the ratio of i6 to 4. HILL
and others of the older leaders Of the
democratic party, stood against this
political and economic heresy, as they
regarded IL, and tried to keep the wild
men from the west from running away
with the convention. They had con-
trolled the convention up to the time
when Bryan got the platform.
There were various people men,
toned for nomination, but none OF

PAYING PUBLICITY.

Every now and then the value of
advertising is brought home in some
new and convincing way, and of re-
cent years perhaps no firm has put
over any publicity which has attract
ed more attention than has a certain
company of New York City. 1t was
this company which started the fad
of using such methods as .y. v. t., as
signatures for some of their circular
forms, and authorizations, such as w. X,
!. t. W., and others kindred, which have
absolutely no claim to cleverness, ex-
cept that a new quirk is given to ex-
pressions which have become stale
from long use. The w. k. gentleman
and the tallest building i. t. w. may not
commend themselves as very witty to
those who form a part of that great
army of captious critics, but these de-
partures from that which has long been
customary, at least give one some re-
lief from constant iteration, which is
the death Of all originality.
The fact that the columnists, and
even the magazine writer's have seized
with some eagerness upon this means
OF getting over tiresome details, proves
that there is something stimulating,
even in the slightest departure from
the shop-worn.
This same firm has evolved a num-
Der of catch phrases and slogans, and
so popular have they become, that in
8 recent statement. the head of the
firm declared that suggestions for
these come from all parts of the coun-
try, one man-apparently a member of
the American Embassy to France
sending contribution of more than
one thousand ads, which had COM
posed on his voyage across the pond
The lesson in this must be apparent
to anyone. 1t pays to advertise And,
particularly, to advertise persisentIy.
This company started on a very small
scale, but realizing the Importance of
publicity, carried on an aggressive adj
vertising campaign. for which it has
beqen rewarded an hundred fold.
