Two or three of Hearst's party dub declared for Bryan, and the Hearstites are much disturbed. The Chicago Post is authority for the statement that Taft aims to break the solid South. It would be a sad day for the South if such a ca lamity did overtake her. Parsons, the Taft manager in New York, says the great danger in that State is over confidence. This shows thaf he is afraid New York will go for Bryan. jThe decision of those three Re publican Judges in favor of the Standard Oil Company may make it more easy for Taft to fry the fat out of the corporations, but it will make thousands of votes for Bry an. Now that three Republican Judges have set aside that Standard Oil fine the Republican campaign committee can count on a huge contribution from that op Dressed corporation for corrupting voters. It may be true, as Mr. Hearst claims, that the democracy is a "de cayed old party." Still, as the Au gusta Herald puts it, it should be remembered that some of its decay ing part was lopped off when it go^ rid of Mr. Hearst. People frequently inquire of the editor where we received our infor mation concerning such and such a person, also who wrote this article or that. To impart information along this is against the rules of a newspaper office and our friends and patrons will please bear this in mind and not annoy us with inquiries. We always stand ready to correct a wrong or mis-statement. The State says that "when Mr. T&ft submitted his speech of accep tance to Mr. Roosevelt for revision he not only made the most candid admission ofjhis subserviency but he committed a blunder that a man of Taft's perception should never be guilty of." That's true, but Taft knows that Roosevelt is his political boss, ond he thinks he may as well get the benefit of theboss' great po litical sagacity and prestige. The Augusta Herald hits the nail sq uare on the head when it says "in this election the cause of union la bor is on trial. If by their votes union men sustain a party which ha3 put itself on record against them, and that party be successful in the election, they can expect nothing else but that the injunction screws be applied so hard that labor unionism will be squeezed out of existence as a strong effort to do is now being made.,' The State says: "The editorial declaration by Samuel Gompers in The Federationists that he would support the Democratic ticket, and why, was one of the sensational news items of the month. Yet the news agencies carried not a line of it. We believe if Gompers had thrown his influence for Taft those agencies wouldjhave heralded the in formation to the remotest quarters of the country." Yet we are told that these agencies are non-parti san. "When a newspaper daily accepts and magnifies news reports sent by agencies hostile to Bryan, and knifes the Nebraskan at every opportuni ty, then declares it wishes him elected, the readers of such a paper are confronted with the problem of I determinating whether it is a trait or lacking the courage to be bold, or a witless nonenity outcast from the house of reason," says The Stale. We would say it was a Taft paper but too cowardly to come out and say so. Democratic Sagacity. The two: #e*t-conventions have* been held, the candidates, between whom the straggle for the Presiden cy will lie have been chosen and the issue is joined-. The Charleston Post says "whatever one may think of Bryan or Taft it is impossible for the man who considers the matter dispassionately not to realize that the Democratic party is playing the game with considerable more skill and sagacity than its rivals, the lead ers of the Republican succession. The platform framers are said to have been influenced greatly by Parker's and Cohalan's suggestions, New York conservative Democrats, yet at the meeting of the Central Federated Labor Union last Sunday out of eighty-two delegates present, sixteen were non-committal, eleven for Debs, one for Hearst, one for Taft, and fifty-three for Bryan. Samuel Gompers a lifelong Repub lican the President, says he will have to support Bryan, on account of the Democratic platform, and that he will do everything he honorably can to elect the Democratic ticket. The Philadelphia Public Ledger (anti Bryan) is authority for the opinion that "there are about 3,000,000 members of organized labor in the country whose organizations are in some manner affiliated with the American Federation of Labor." Yet the Democrats must have exib ited extraordinary sagacity in the framing of this plank; for the com ments of so eminently representa tive a journal as the Springfield Re publican are: "It is evident on the other hand, that the radical injunction plank adopted at Denver has so far caused no fright and has not even roused a serious protest in the press of the country, and the contrast in this re spect with the week following the Democratic convention of 1896 is ex traordinary," This paper dicussesand quotes the Boston Transcript's declaration that: "No one can travel in the West without beeoming convinced that an overwhelming proportion of jits voters want some some real changes in the power of the courts in this respect. - - - Roose velt's perceptions of what is going on in the popular mind were never more surely accurate," and the aama. paper is authority for the statement that "so conservative a paper as the independent Indianap olis News has discussed the Denver plank with appearent readiness to ac cept it, particularly the part indors ing the contempt bill passed by a Republican United States Senate early in 1896." "To have produced such results is* a triumph of sagacity. But that is not all. s In New York the Tammany leader, Murphy, asserts the opinion that the plankisuggesting guaranty of deposits will surely bring a big vote to the Democrats. We confess ourselves, that New York was the last quarter we would have looked for endorsement of this, and if it finds favor there it will find much more elsewhere. With these com ments it is idle to deny that great sagacitv has been shown' in the framing of the platform." Prostituting Government. Considering the methods employed by President Roosevelt to secure the nomination of his candidate for the succession, it was not to be ex pected that he would scruple to re sort to any means calculated to aid in making his election sure, says the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. That the power of Federal patro nage wad u^ed and abused to an ex j tent never before approximated in the history of the government, to effect the naming of Taft by the Chicago convention, is too notorious a fact to admit of discussion. That convention was packed with office holders holding their appointments from Roosevelt and doing his bid ding to the slightest detail. With this contigency of pie eaters and government pap-sucker., sub servient to his every wish and re sponsive to his slightest nod. the Master and Dictator in the White House was able to whip the recalci trants and would-be insurgents into line and so force the assemblage to do his will both in the naming of the candidate and the promulgation of the platform. And just as Federal patronage was abused to accomplish that re sult, so now executive authority is to be stretched and the public ser vice prostituted to influence the election in November. Every pow er of the administration is to be brought to bear to concilate the int erests which the policies may have given cause for offense, every agen cy of the government is lobe direct ed to restoring industrial and busi ness activity, fur a time at least, and the compact which Mark Hanna made with the''.System" in 1S9G and 1900 is again to be renewed. Only a few weeks ago it was announced that there would be no further pros ecutions of the Trusts for several months. The reason assigned was that the department of justice was crowded with other business demanding at tention, that Trust cases had "been carried as far as they could without further preparation, and that months would be required to make such preparation. This may deceive the credulous and unsuspecting wh0 ! still believe in the "truFt busting" i pretensions of me Riiuacve.i a?inin istration, but nobody else. Those possessing the average amount of intelligence and caring to use it know that the real object is to con ciliate the "grinding monopolies" and the "predatory combinations" in order that their contributions to the campaign fund may be forth coming as usual and with the same liberality, And now the order has gone forth to all the government departments to spend all the money they can and as quickly as they can. The prac tice and precedent of years is to be broken, and every thing that the government will need for the cur rent twelve months is to be pur chased before the election. Money must be poured out to the extent of three-quarters of a billion dollars. That there is no public necessity for it and that it may empty the treas ury of the last dollar makes no dif ference. Temporarily, &\ least, business mupt boom. Labor must be employed and wages must be kept up. Prosperity must be simu lated, though it may not exist. Pol itical expediency and party exigency demand it. ? That is suffcient. It would never do for the Novem ber election to find business stag nant, labor unemployed, factories and mills idle, and prosperity at a standstill, It might result in the overthrow of republican supremacy, and that must be preserved at all cost and all hazards. The presump tion is that government is adminis tered, primarily, in the interest of the country and not of a political I party. From its very inception the republican party has held and fol lowed the contrary view. With them the interests of the party have always been first, those of the coun try receiving only incidental consid eraeion. But it has remained for the Roosevelt administration to fol low that policy with a consistency perfect and fUwless. CIVIC IMPROVEMENT PLAN. Garden on V.icant Lot Proposed For the Good of Many. If there is u rbickly populated sec tion in a town where little of the beau ties of nature ;>.ve seen, it would be well to study th?i following plan, which is described in Club Notes by Louise Klein Miller, curator of the public school gardens of Cleveland, O.: "Little Italy is one of the most dense ly populated foreign districts in Cleve land. Men, women and children who have lived under sunny skies of their native land, accustomed to seeing beau tiful gardens, gay with brilliant flow ers, are now living under the most con gested conditions. The heat of sum mer forces them from their warm houses into contracted yards or out on parched pavements. "An effort is being made to trans form a vacant lot lent for the pur pose into a beautiful garden where the people may go and enjoy the 'green things growing.' The plan includes flower and vegetable gardens, a herb garden and an exchange garden, where plants will be received and given to the men, women or children to be nsed in their home gardens. "The dream is a pergola, summer bouse, wistaria, bay trees and box hedges.. The realization may be a tent for the pergola and summer house and morning glories, four o'clocks and cas tor oil plants for the wistaria. "The parish priest, the padrone, the principal of the public school attended by the little citizens of this quarter and the residents of the social settle ment In the neighborhood all give their hearty support and promise of co-op iriun ?? i;li the j*V?!??r:i:!nn of Wom en's Clubs. Tue gardv-u will be a radiating center for civic improve ment" CLEAN KANSAS TOWN. Brummer Tells How Newton Has De veloped Civic Pride. "In my opinion, Newton is the clean est and one of the best regulated towns in Kansas," said Gordon Whyte, a traveling salesman, at the Sexton ho tel, in Kansas City, the other day. "Yes, I" live, there, but haven't always," be continued. "Newton is a thriving, hus tling town of nearly 9,000 inhabitants. Its people are progressive. They be lieve in clean streets, and there seems to be a sort of personal pride about keeping things clean. "Very seldom do you see any one throw trash or waste paper in the streets of Newton. Nothing against it except It just seems to be a sort of moral code or unwritten agreement the people have fallen Into. Towns have their habits even as Individuals." Mars' George and the Skeeter. When General George Sheridan was camping on the lower Mississippi his negro boy, Ilarry, was one day asked by a friend whether the general was not terribly annoyed by the mosqui toes. "No, sab!" said Harry. "In the even In' Mars' George is so 'toyirnted he don't mind the skeeter. and In the mornin' the skeeters is so 'toxicated they don't mind .Mars' George." Trcsspass Not ire.

X JpSS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main iVl St., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: "As I have found "Peruna a blessing for a severe case of catarrh of the head and throat which I suffered from for a number of years, I am only too pleased to give it my personal endorsement. . "Catarrh, such as I suffered from, made life a burden to me, my breath was offensive, stomach bad, and my head stopped up so that I was usually troubled with a headache, and although I tried many so-called remedies, noth ing gave me permanent relief. I was rather discouraged with all medicines when Peruna was suggested to mo. "However, I did buy a bottle, and be fore that was finished there was a marked change in my condition. Much encouraged I kept on until I was com pletely cutedin a month's time, and I find that my general health is also ex cellent." People who prefer solid medicines ahonld try Peruna tablets. Each tablet represents one average dose of Peruna. Man-a-lin the Ideal Laxative. CANDIDATE CARDS FOR UNITED STATES SENATE.
