The public will notify him of his election early in November. This years wheat crop in the United States is estimated at 025,000,000 bushels. This at a low estimate will be worth over $400,000,000. Who says farming doesn’t pay? Perhaps Judge Parker’s announce ment that he will take under advise ment the invitation to go on the plat form with Col. Bryan is merely a Judicial predilection. The Third district fuslonlsts adopt ed a platform with a plank which "opposes giving the money-issuing power to the banks,” and then nom inated a banker for congress. One of the gratifying reports from the treasury department for the fiscal year 1904 shows a substantial reduc tion in the national debt, and, of course, a reduction in interest obligations. Ainsworth Star-Journal: Governor Harrington and his brother, the Judge, have boen reversed in the supreme court, and Hans gets a new trial. The question is—what does the county get? There is continued increase in the railway mileage. According to Rail way Age the amount of track laid during the first half of the year indi cates that the mileage to be con structed during the year will approxi mate 5,000. The democratic New York Sun llred this at the democratic nominee the day after the nomination: “The republican platform Is right and Judge Parker knows it. He knows also that the democratic platform is wrong— dangerously wrong, not merely in a negative way by a sin of omission, but by the positive and aggressive and strikingly significant cancellation of even an evasive plank tinted with the sound doctrine on the money question. Will Judge Parker accept the demo cratic nomination under these condi tions? Can he consent to stand on such a platform?” Apparently ignorant of the fact that for twenty-five years butter has beenmanufacturedintheUnitedStates from every variety of nuts known on the market and consumed in large quantities by those who have adopted the non-flesh diet, some of the big papers are devoting much discussion to what they call a new tiling recently brought out by a German chemist in the form of butter made from the cocoanut. If the Germans have just discovered that butter can be made from nuts they are twenty-five years behind us. The most common and cheapest of the nut butters is made from peanuts. These nuts form read ily into a thick paste after being crushed with an ordinary meat chop per. They are mixed with a little water to thin down, and very accept able butter results. From tills but ter a gravy may also be made quite as pleasant to the tast as the delicious preparation accompanying a roast and much more wholesome. We believe it was J. H. Kellogg, M. D., of the Battle Creek, Mich., sanitarium who first introduced nutbutters. A FALSE CLAIM One of the reasons put forth by Col Ilryan why he will support Judg< PaTker is a claim that the democratic party stands for peace while the re publican party stands for war. Mr Bryan’s claim in this respect, like many of his visionary theories, is nol supported by fact. Let us see wh< has stood for war and who for peace. Captain Richmond P. Hobson, in z speech before the St. Louis conven tion, expressed these remarkable sentiments: When we face the great Internation al problems, with combinations affect ing vast numbers of workingmen and corporations aggregating great quanti ties of capital, their interests seeming apparently to conflict, when local peace is sometimes affected, it is ol the utmost importance that our public servants should legislate wisely and justly, so that no lawful person oi combination of persons may be inter fered with. Aye, there should be neither Intimidation nor menace from labor, nor bribery nor undue influence from capital. Aye, and when the laws are enacted there must be no waver ing In their execution. They should be executed impartially and fearlessly. Yet in the face of this situation we find the party in power afraid really to take hold of the auestions of labor. Tell me what president has ever been brave enough to enforce the law against a labor union violator. It was a democratic president. Reference is here made by the ex cited soldier to Cleveland’s military raid during the great Chicago railroad strike, and his sentiments were loudly cheered by the convention. Granting to Captain Hobson and his democratic applauders that their party furnished the only president who ever envaded a sovereign state, over the protest of its governor, to aid capital against labor by force of arms, and, by way of comparison, calling their attention to the manner in which President Roosevelt brought about a settlement of the great Penn sylvania coal strike, we come back to the beginning and enquire, Is Mr. Bryan’s claim true? When the railroad men were press ing their claims against the great transportation corporations a demo cratic president sent an army of government troops against the strikers and compelled them to desist, lncur ing the everlasting gratitude of the corporations. When the miners were pressing their claims against a great and ravenous coal trust a republican president by peaceful means forced the trust into adjudication which ended the strike,and incurred upon the president the everlasting displeasure of the trust and the eternal gratitude of the nation. In view of these facts, how can Mr. Bryan set up such a claim? The evils of the individual laborer putting himself under the control of a labor union boss are very marked in the packing houses strike. Hardly had the announcement that the strike was off been made public and the men returned 4o work when the labor bosses called them out again because one or two of the “Big Five” were not living up to the agreement. Instead of calling out the men in the plants that were transgressing the agreement the men in all the plants were called out, and according to the best inform ation obtainable they walked out very reluctently. Now, for the same reas ons, men who are willing and anxious to work are being called out in other departments. Thus several thousand men who would prefer to be at work are kept idle by the labor bosses, the live stock market brought to a stand still and the public food supply cur tailed. The demands of the butchers may be ever so just, but it looks as if the trouble could have been adjusted where it actually existed without so much loss to all interests concerned were there less bullheadedness among the labor leaders. Editor Rosewater is on deck again fighting with the state board of equalization to keep the assessement of farm properties down where they are and prevent a lowering of railroad assessment. Mr. Rosewater has been doing some good work for the state in this assessment dispute. Railroad property forms a sort of assessment basis and as this class of property has been assessed at about 25 per cent its actual value there should be no diffi culty in coming at a fair conclusion with respect to other property. •»******•*«»***••*«**#*** * “Influences back of the * Parker candidacy are so in % timately associated vvitli the * trusts and great corporations : * that the democratic party * could not appeal to the 1 a * masses.

Missouri democrats have, in a meas ure, redeemed themselves by nomin ation for governor Joseph W. Folk, the terror to boodlers. What Missouri needs is a republican administration, Of all the empty honors of official life that on the state board of equal ization is the worst. The board is subjected to bombardment from all sides. The railroads are kicking be cause their assessments are too high and other property is too low; the private property owner kicks be cause he thinks his too high and the railroad’s too low. The board has the sympathy of all true patriots. Schuyler Free Lance: The demo cratic party has returned to Gleveland ism and removed all evidence of ever having been otherwise. The party repudiated the platform of 1896 and 1900 and repudiated Bryanism. It returned to the gold standard and was too cowardly to say so; it turned down Bryan’s pet idea of an income tax, because that would not suit the rich classes of the east. There is nothing in common today between the democrats and populistic parties, and certainly all fusion on national tickets must be at an end. The Bryan demo crat who supports that ticket must about face and forward march to the realms of Grover Cleveland. Bryan may figure out how he can support Parker on that platform and his followers to a certain extent may be so wedded to the name democracy that they will do the same regardless of principle, but the man of convic tion has reached the parting of the ways.

This is metro politan life up to date. “Do It To-Day” The time-worn injunction, “Never i put off ’til tomorrow what you can do to-day,,’ is now generally presented in this form: “Doit to-day!” That is the terse advice we want to give you about that hacking cough or demoraliz ing cold with which you have been struggling for severl days, perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remedy for it to-day—and let that reinedy be Dr. Boschee’s German Syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses of it will un doubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and its continued use for a few days will cure you completely. No matter how deep-seated your cough, even if dread consumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure—as it has done before in thou sands of apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.

Kumpe, Druggist, Leighton, Ala., writes: “One of my customers had a child, which was sick, and threw up all food, could retain nothing on its stomach. He bought one bottle of White’s Cream Vermifuge, and it brought up 119 worms from the child. It’s the boss worm medicine in the world.” White’s Cream Vermifuge is also the childrens’ tonic. It im proves their digestion and assimila tion of food, strengthens their nervous system and restores them to the health, vigor and elasticity of spirits natural to childhood at. 25c at P. C.

T., writes: “I have used Herbine for a number of years, and can cheerfully recommend it as the most perfect liver medicine, and the greatest blood purifier. It is a medicine of positive merit, and fully accomplishes all that is claimed for it.” Malaria cannot find a lodgment in the system while the liver is in perfect order, for one of its functions is to prevent the absorp tion of fever production poisons. Her bine is a most efficient liver regulator. 50c at P. C. Corrigan. The regisgtrations for Rosebud lands total up 106,296. Special summer excursion rates to .
