Republicans Dodged the Issue at Chbago. ?Y BRUTE FORCE OF MONEY. Action of the Q. O. P. Convention In vitee the Criticism That Its Cam j paign Will Be Waged on a Boodle Basis?Democratic Anti- injunction j PSank Approved by Both Capital and Labor?Popular Election of Senators. By WILLIS J. ABBOT. Of course by this time the ticket of the Democratic party is clearly known and. in my judgment, generally ap-, proved. It Is not necessary here to go Into detail concerning the qualifica tions for the places sought by the two . a men. He who would seek to say what Mr. Bryan stands for would be Indeed an over self assertive man. And John iW. Kern Is so well known to the peo ple of his state and the adjoining states that It Is wholly unnecessary to cay anything now about him. As my readers have already had the platform, they must judge for themselves of Its ' Qualities. The Next Step.' Within a few days a majority of the members of the Democratic national committee will visit Mr. Bryan In Lin coln. At that, time the organization of the campaign will be determined upon In a preliminary way, not a per manent one. It will probably be two or three weeks before the chairman. Beeretary and executive committee will he selected. We hear many names suggested for these places, but as yet there has been no centering on one of them. Coinmltteeman Ryan of Wis consin would make a strong man at the head of the national committee. So, too, would James Kerr of Pennsylva nia. Mr. Kerr has the advantage at this moment of having made a win ning fight, against one of the most 'forceful and at the same time most sinister politicians In his own state. liWhen he won place on the national - committee be showed, a strength in politics that would justify his aspira tion to the national chairmanship. Per haps before publication of this letter a selection may be made, hut my judg ment Is that It will not be- Certainly the new national committee is ear nestly and enthusiastically favorable to Mr. Bryan, and his suggestion as to chairman, secretary and other execu tive positions will in all probability be accepted. A candidate whose acqui escence was sought before any action was taken by the convention, a candi date who absolutely refused to Inter fere In the slightest degree with any movement in behalf of this man or that niu.a. whose name had been men ticued for second place, might well be Intrusted with selecting the managers of his own campaign. Concerning the Platform. When we Democrats came to Den ver it was to meet threats that on the anti-Injunction plank there would be made such a fight as never was known In a Democratic convention since the time we fought over free silver. What happened? There was no fight We heard that Judge Alton B. Parker was coming from New York to antagonize not merely the views of the majority on this particular declara tion of principles, but to oppose Mr. Bryan himself. Judge Parker came to I Denver and made it his purpose to | meet the closest friends of Mr. Bryan and to say that under no circumstances would he do anything to be regarded s? hostile to the Nebraskan. The state j of New York, supposed to be hostile, voted Its entire seventy-eight votes for the nominee and voted for the plat form. 'In talking with a number of labor men I have found that the ap proval of the anti-Injunction plank Is universal. One whose name I may not mention, but who Is known to mem bers of organized labor all over the land, said to me: "The question of the anti-injunction plank was necessarily left to Samuel Gompers, president of the^merican Federation of Labor. He | ' toi^app^rv^the action of the eonvej} ttM^sndTw^wffl w apprbvtf it"VN Oirj the other hand, prominent representa tive;; of the employing classes here In Denver say that the plank Is so fair and that the presidential nominee is so thoroughly to be trusted not to de stroy business Interests that they ac cept the labor declaration of the Dem ocratic party. For an issue which prior to the convention seemed to be likely to create serious hostility this | one has in the end been so thoroughly smoothed out that no political dissen sion seems likely to result from it As to Campaign Publicity. Here is rather an Interesting thing. The president of the United States, Mr. Roosevelt and the nominee of the RepjaWican party at Chicago, Mr. Taft, some months ago declared themselves In favor of a federal law compelling the publication of all contributions j made to campaign funds. Kot having any influence with the recent Repub lican convention In Chicago, Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft were unable to get a plank In the Republican plat form giving effect to what they had j asserted to be their desires. Mr. La Follette sent in such a plank, but every Taft man and every Roosevelt man voted It down. The Democratic party in Its convention here declared abso lutely for compulsory publication of campaign contributions. What hap pened then? Within twenty-four hours the Republican papers were saying that the Republican national committee would report to the people of th<? United States all contributions [ made to Its campn'gn fund, "as pro-) vlded by tke law of the state of New York." What has the law of the state Rev. I. W. Williams Testifies Rev I. W. Williams, Huntington, W. Va., testifies as follows: "This Is to certify that I used Foley's Kid ney Remedy for nervous exhaustion and kidney trouble, and am free to will lo all that you claim for i t. Dr. A. C. Dukes, Lowman Drug, Co. Fever r y die- Try L. L. L. Buy Lov. man's Liver Lifters. Take T.r* mat Liver Lifters. Use Lot nan '3 Liver Lifters, fry Logman's Liver Lifters. Harris Lithla Water. For rs-le b? Lowman i. Lowiu; u. of New York to do with a national committee? If the contributions come from the most notorious trust con trolled state of the Union, New Jersey, what assurance will the people have that there will be any publicity given to them? When the Republican or ?sn!.m*Ion gr.-r> onf to tSp trewsr-anon: '.bis statement thai i: x.oah) ic^ort all contributions, it acted without any sense of truth or of fair play. There was one way for the Republican party to avert the criticism that it Is going into this campaign with the Intent and purpose of carrying It by the brute force of money. That one way was a plank in its platform that it would stand for and enforce official publicity of all campaign con tributions. In house and senate and in the national convention this princi ple was voted down by the Repub licans, and they cannot longer claim that they stand for the moral principle which it represents. 'The Interest of the Telegraphers. In the United States today there are more than 80,000 telegraph operators. Within the last four years they have twice struck for more reasonable treat ment by the colossal monopoly which controls their terms of employment and which has its grasp on the most speedy way of the interchange of In formation and news throughout the states of this Union. Both times the telegraphers were beaten In their ef fort to secure fairer treatment Both times the telegraph .companies, the Postal and Western Union alike, raised their rates of service while refusing to raise the pay of the operators. One of.tb- planks sent to the Chicago con vention by Senator La Pollette, but one which was not accorded, like the famous three, the opportunity of a Toll call, was this: We pledge the Democratic party to the enactment of a law to regulate the rates and sendees of telegraph and telephone companies engaged in the transmission of messages between the stales under the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission. The one difference between this plank, which was adopted by the Dem ocratic party, and the plank which was rejected by the Republican party is the use of the word "Democratic" ha the first line. Eighty thcusand telegraph operators throughout the United States who have more than once failed to secure for themselves that proper rec ognition which is due them-may now consider whether the DehSocratic par ty, which accepted and promulgated the plank effered by their representa tives, or the Republican party, which rejected tbe same plank, though it had back of it the great influence of Senator La. Foilette, is the better to support in the coming election. But one line of tbe telegraph plank de serves especial attention. It puts telegraph and telephone companies do ing an interstate business under the jurisdiction of the Interstate commerce commission. That is a vital step for ward. The Tariff This Year. The tariff plank in the Democratic platform is acceptable to so veteran a tariff reformer as Henry Watterson, to so extreme a tariff reformer as Tom L- Jchnsou and at tbe same time to that element in the party which be lieves in revision and not In free trade. Personally I would be more interested in the plank if I could feel that the conditions, even in the event of Mr. Bryan's election, would give us oppor tunity to give it effect It must be ad mitted that if we Democrats carry the house and the presidency we still can not have the senate. And the senate has always been the last ditch, the true citadel, of the militant forces of overprotection. With Aldrich there j representing the allied interests of Standard Oil and all its works, with the steel trust, the tobacco trust the smelting trust thus installed in power, the utmost that we Democrats can do In the event of our assured success next November Is to make such a fight from the White House and from the house end of the capltol that the coun try will be Impressed with our sincer ity and that every two years we may elect a few more Democrats to the senate. Direct Election of Senators. And upon this very subject of the part that will-be played by the United States senate to check the legislation which tbe people of the United States desire the Democratic party speaks in Its platform not directly, but in a way that no one can fall to understand. It declares for the election of senators by the direct vote of the people. This Is one of tbe planks presented by Sen ator La Foilette and described by Sen ator Hopkins of the Republican party as an utterance of socialism and dema gogy. Had such a law been In effect In the state of Illinois so notorious a corruptionlst as Hopkins would not bare bad an opportunity to keep a recommendation of it out of a Repub lican platform. Were it in general ef fect we wonld not have a Guggen heim from Colorado, who is wholly destitute of any of the qualities ol statesmanship, but who represents the second greatest trust In the United States and who stands with all the other trust magnates. We would not have to bother with a seutle Senator like Platt or a smiling lobbyist for rail roads like Depew, nor would we have occasion to wonder whether Pennsyl vania could produce in future another Quay or a Penrose and whether It wonld be possible for New Jersey to discover another Dryden or a Kean. In brief, If the Democratic plan of tbe election of senators by direct vote of the people, a plan for which tbe house of representatives has repeatedly vot ed and which sooner or later will be forced upon tbe attention of the peo ple In the shape of a constitutional amendment, should be adopted we will have a senate responsive to the pub 11c will. ?

How the Inventor of tho King Drug Discovered His Method. D. Ward King of Maitland, Mo., in ventor of the King method of road dragging, has a theory which practice has demonstrated. t? hp irrrect. it is that ;:!; ??hij and gi. - it > s sli-.iukJ he drugged With a liglit u.:. j after ttuuii rain or wet spell. The drag smooths down the rough places and fills up the ruts. When the sun dries up the road it leaves a roadbed as smooth and per fect as a city street The discovery of this method and the more important discovery of Mr. King were largely accidental Years ago he lived on a small but well improved farm near Maitland. He was not par ticularly interested in the good road movement as a national or state issue, but the four miles of road from his farm to Maitland were of great Interest to him, says the St Louis Globe-Demo crat The road was of that soft, sticky red clay that in wet weather clings to the wagon wheels in great lumps and dry weather Is as hard as a rock and almost as injurious to wagon tires. Passing wagons in wet weather would dig deep ruts, and when the road dried up the ruts would remain. At best the road was very poor. Many times when wheat was selling at a good price and Mr. King had many bushels of it the road would be so bad that he could not haul it to the market, and when the road finally became passable the market would be low again. After many experiments he con structed a small, light drag, using two old timbers connected with light strips, and began to drag the road In front of his residence. After each rain he would run the drag over it, and when the sun came out and the road dried up it was in perfect condition. When he began to drag the road many of his neighbors told other neighbors that King was crazy. Others told King himself that be was crazy. Others who did uoi say anything believed be was crazy. Hut the experiments proved that King's method was successful, and he extended his operations until he was dragging all the road in front ef his farm. His neighbors took it up, and in a few months the road from his farm to Maitland was as good as any In Missouri. George B. Ellis, secretary of the state board of agriculture, heard of Mr. King's good rn::ds methods and invited him to speak :lt the farmers' institute in his neighborhood. He accepted, and, being an enthusiast on the subject he made several converts. He was en gaged for a 6ci ies gf lectures and has turned over his farm to others and is devoting all of his time to preaching the gospel of good roads. Good roads meetings have been held in various parts of Missouri and hundreds of con verts have been made. After every rain in Missouri hundreds of farmers drag the roads in front of their farms, and the number of these volunteer road workers Is increasing every week. Odorless and Dustless Roads. Consul T. H. Norton, writing to the state department from Chemnitz, Ger many, says that a Sasbn firm has in troduced a road binding composition which has been tried on the macadam ized streets of Leipzig and other places with much success. The material is thus described: It is a mixture of the heavier resid ual oils obtained in the distillation of coal tar with high boiling hydrocar bons. The method of mixing apparent ly Involves a certain degree of chem ical combination, In which phenol and similar constituents play a role. The manufactured material is prepared for use by heating in iron caldrons, iden tical with those used for asphalt to temperatures ranging fron? 212 to 248 degrees F. (100 to 120 C). It Is then sprayed evenly over the surface of a roadway with a special form of ap paratus and under such high pressure that the fluid mass penetrates to a cer tain distance into the upper layer of dust or dirt The result Is the forma tion of a compact lustrous black coat ing which meets the demands of heavy traffic and Is not disintegrated into dust particles. A marked advantage of the new process over the methods hith erto employed for the same purpose and based upon the -use of ordinary tar is the total absence of odor after the application. A Great Undertaking. To promote the building of improved roads in Colorado. Wyoming. Utah. Montana, Idaho. New Mexico and Ari zona and make accessible the wonder ful natural scenery throughout the ter ritory along the eastern base of the Rocky mountains the Rocky Mountain Highway association has been Incor porated at Denver by Gerald Hughes, Harold Kountz and Charles A. John son. Membership in the organization is open to any one Interested in the good roads movement, and it is report ed that already a large number of prominent Colorado citizens have sig nified their intention of joining. The money for carrying out the plans of the association will be derived ifarough private subscriptions and through state and municipal aid. It Is hoped that through the efforts of this association there will eventually be constructed a chain of good roads joining all points of Interest throughout this section. Public Ownership of Roads. The idea of public ownership of the highways seems to be coming to the front It has been proposed that the city of Philadelphia purchase the right of way and the property abutting the proposed new parkway leading from the central part of the city to Fair mount park. In Milwaukee county, Wls., the board of supervisors Is dis cussing the advisability of acquiring the title to roads in various townships to the number of twenty and improv ing and maintaining them by taxation.

The yield per acre, and the profit therefrom increases in far greater proportion than the cost of additional fertilizer. What is an increase in cost of $2.00 to $10.00 per acre for fertilizer when the returns therefrom show an increase of $50.00 to $250.00 per acre? The big Magnolia Fruit Farms at Durant, Miss., tested the well-known Virginia-Car olina Fertilizer in different quantities o n their straw berry crop.
