This years wheat crop in the United
States is estimated at 025,000,000

Perhaps Judge Parker’s announce

Judicial predilection.
The Third district fuslonlsts adopt

"opposes giving the money-issuing

One of the gratifying reports from

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.

If the esteemed State Journal fol
lows its advise to former Secretary oi
State Porter it can’t do otherwise
than put it back.
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.

“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. New trial bottles, 25c;
regular size, 75c, At all druggists.

The Boss Worm Medicine.
H. P. 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.

The Perfect Liver Medicine.
Mrs. M. A. Jolley, Noble, O. 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.
