Rhode Island Women Help
 Salvage Drive

Rhode Island housewives dur ing the month of August turned in 83,249 pounds of salvaged fat, which was an increase of 2,11O pounds over the month of July.
 Rhode Island State Council of Defense, in releasing these fi- gures, stresses the importance of the continuance of this program. Fully aware of the shortage of meats in the market fat salvage still must be continued because of it's need by industry.
 Most housewives tend to think of saving fat only when there are large amounts to save after fry ing and broiling, but all kinds of meat contains some fat, maybe only a few drops or teaspoonfuls. but every bit of fat is valuable and during the current meat shortage it will be necessary for housewives to really hunt for that fat. For instance, if they use canned meat the fat on the inside of the can should be scraped into the fat salvage can. And if franlfurts are cooked, the water should be allowed to stand and the fat skinned from the top, and then the fat globules that rise to the top of soup stock IS also good for salvage. Goose, luck. chicken and turkey all con- tain a certain amount of lat, even beef heart and kidney have p certain. percentage of fat.

Sherman Silver Purchase Act
To appreciate the part silver
played in booming these locali-
ties, it is necessary to recall what
congress was doing with respect
to this metal. In 1890 the min
ing men of Nevada and the
Northwest induced congress to
pass the Sherman Silver Pur-
chase Act. Under its provisions
the treasury was authorized to
buy four and a half. million
ounces Of silver month about
the whole output Of this country.
An artificial price for silver,
higher than the world price, was
established. Naturally, the high
price stimulated production. Ev-
cry mining man in the west was
trying to produce silver.
The result was to drive gold
out of circulation. Conservatives
were alarmed because they re-
garded the free coinage of silver
as a form of confiscation and
ruinous to bondholders. BY 1893
anti-silver sentiment had become
so alarmed that the act was sud-
denly repealed at a special session
of congress.
The effect on the northwest,
where silver mining had been
such potent factor in the pros
perity of the region, was serious.
The silver mines closed and the
entire region sank into a major
depression. Out of 81 banks in
Tacoma IA closed their doors.
Banks folded up everywhere,
mills and mines closed, unem-

their platforms in the autumn
autumn elections. The fight was
led by Fred T: Dubois, an Idaho
Republican. He declared he would
leave the party if the national
ticket of the Republicans failed
to support silver. So when the
convention turned down the sill

ed out of the meeting, together
with other silver delegates.

business failures were common.
The Populist In Power
Inevitably people turned to lib
eral movements to try to find a
way out of their troubles. There
was a concerted effort to try to
do something to curb abuses of
power by corporations. It was a
peoples movement, people Ques-
tioning uneven distribution of
wealth and the abuse of power
by those who had garnered the
lions share of the wealth. So it
has been known as the Peoples
movement or the Populist move
mnet.
The Populist party, meeting In
national convention in 1892, NOM
mated James B. Weaver for pres
ident Of the United States. Wea-
yer was publishing blasts against
corporations that were receiving
subsidies Of public lands from the
government. He said, for in
stance, that:
s'The seizure by corporations
and capitalists through the me-
dunn Of congressional grants pro-
fesedly made to aid in construc-
ton Of railroads has been q strik-
ing example Of reckless legiSla-
ton, Of fragrant disregard Of pub
lie interest, and Of the corrupting
power Of money to procure 81
gantic steals The blacklist
pages in the history Of legislative
administration and judicial pro-
cedures in tbs country are un-
doubtedly connected with the rail
road land grant system.
In the same year that this was
published in Iowa, 1892, another
pamphlet written by a Populist
came out at Puyallup, Washing
ton. The title Of it was The r.
repressible Conflict. The author
was John r. Rogers. The "con-
flict" as Mr.. Rogers saw it was
between corporate industry and
the small landowner.
1.-THE private monopoly Of mon
ey," he declared els far greater
evil than chattel slavery. It is
greater because more widespread
:" and because backed by
the consolidated wealth Of all the
great companies and H0st OF the
excessively rich men on earth.
Mr.. Rogers had come to Wash
ington from Kansas in 1890 and
hence was newcomer. But The
Irrepressible Conflict brought him
into such prominence that In the
elections Of 1894 he was among
those elected to the legislature on
the Populist ticket. The most
noteworthy accomplishment OF
his in that session of the legisla-
ture was the enactment OF the
socalled barefoot school boy
law" which was law to equI-
ize school support.
The popularity Of John II. Rog-
ers grew to such an. extent that
the Peoples party in 1895 nom
mated him for governor, and ne
won the election in the autumn.
In this election substantial VIC
tories came to the Populists in all
the Northwest states. The VIC
tories were clearly the result OF
two circumstances: ID the intense
feeling over the silver question,
which united all factions In the
silver mining states and led to
fusion tickets; and 90 the wide.
spread unemployment and hard
times.

Idaho, with its eight million
dollar annual yield of silver, was
rabidly opposed to "Gold Bug

Ricardo promised to look her up,

"a tea dance at the Washington club.
Katherine made her bow in a
setting of gay poinsettias, holly and
mistletoe. But the many bouquets
sent to her and the white flowers
blossoming on the tea table gave
an effective contrast to the yuletlde
decorations.
And a delightful surprise for the
bud arrived by air a few hours be-
fore her party. Her godfather, Mr..
Thomas Seyster, who is winterlng
in Gulfport, Miss, sent her huge
box of white camelias. The lovely
flowers scattered on the tea table
greatly complimented the graceful
candelabra holding tall white tapers
and the handsome silver bowl filled
with roses, carnations and snap
dragons.
Miss Colean stood with her mother
to receive more than 300 callers.
She was clad in beautiful gown
of white net. 1t was just the kind
of dress that young girl should
wear to her debut. The gown had
skirt of several layers of net and
the bodice was close fitting with a
bertha-like cape ornamented with
rings of gold sequins. Her bouquet
was an old-fashioned one with white
roses and gardenias nestled in a
lacy frill.
The debutante's very good looking
mother wore a gown of yellow-gold
crepe, and pinned to her left
shoulder was a cluster of gardenias.
Mr.. Colean did not stand with the
ladies of his house to welcome their
friends but he was holding an im-
promptu reception of his own
throughout the afternoon.
