,"w,p"niw"t 4T DECEMBER 2, 1904 most any man on the ticket in his place, with Oe democrats in the same depleted condition, would have polled as many votes. The returns show that in nearly every precinct Roosevelt ran hehind McKinley's popular vote, and that Parker ran still more behind the popular vote of Bryan. Putting the question up to the democratic party squarely, Parker was not the choice of the rank and file for the nomination. He was in i. sense of the word forced on the party, and its declaration of principles vas such as to 'inspire not the most unbounded confidence in the party leadership. In the west, the young refused to cast their votes for a party which did not represent west ern sentiment, and in which the lead ers had relegated the westerners to the rear. In short, the eastern democrats, who had claimed that the people want ed them hack in control of the party because Bryan had been twice defeated, should realize today .hat they have made a dismal failure, and that it is a sure thing 3 people flo not want them in control of the party.

But few persons know that thero is such an association and the extent of its im portance. The corn crop of Tennessee is probably the most valuable of its agricultural products and compares favorably with any southern state in that regard. For that reason probably and because of the large corn milling interests ir Tennessee, a Tennessean is president of the association. coarse, pure mealnothing fine. Keep it in a glass jar with u cover that screws tightly, for corn moal spoils easily and quickly becomes wormy if not well covered. Never try to keep it in tho houso in a largo quantity, and never get it of a grocer who keeps it long on hand.

The government estimate of this year's corn crop is approximately 2,450,000,000 bushels, which at th' present market price of 50 cents a bushel would make that crop wora. $1,225,000,000. The existence of a corn millers' associa tion is of interest because of tho rap idly increasing use of corn products as a distinctive American table food. Not only is it increasing in use and popularity in this country but tho fact that the Europeans are also learn ing to eat corn is pretty well evidenced by the export of corn to Europe that increased from 30,000,000 bushels in 1891 to 192,000,000 bushels in 1902, and on account of the present high price of wheat will probably reach much larg er proportions this year It may be recalled that Col. Charles J. Murphy some years ago went abroad as special commissioner of tho department of agriculture and worked long and faith fully to introduce American corn as an article of dietin Europe. As a re sult of his propaganda "Murphy bread," as it Is called in Germany and Belgium, is becoming extremely popular. It is made of a mixture of Indian meal and wheat flour, and as the emperor ate it and highly commended It, it straight way became fashionable. Deploring the lack of appreciation that is shown in some regions of our own country for this palatable and highly nutritious food, Colonel Mur phy recently said: "The ruddy face and stout body of the child of 2fty years ago, followed by the strength and constitution of the man and wom an, was little less than a' tribute to the excellence of mush and milk for the child, hog and hominy for the adult. But with the removal of the andirons and the crane the ash cake, johnny-cake, hominy and pudding are little more than a tradition with many people of the present day." A writer enthusiastically soundipg the praises of this American food, re cently said: "If any Intelligent man will take the trouble to cook his own corn meal mush in the morning, sternly com manding Bridget to keep out of the way meantime, he can assist in the renaissance of the divlnest cereal and have a breakfast food which he can eat joyfully 365 days in the year and never tire of.
