tho south and west to attend. It
would bo bettor and more manly for
thom to Just step out boldly onto
tho republican platform - and advo
cate their principles in the republi
can convention than to run as a side
show to the republican party in tho
interest of tho republican candidates
and try to split tho democratic party
by carrying with them tho unthink
ing element as well as those undem
ocratic elements who follow for a di
vision of the loaves and fishes of
tho corporations. As to the south
being tired of democratic principles
as set forth by Mr. Bryan and other
real Jefferson Ian democrats, who are
real democrats, the Times is sadly
mistaken. It is only a few so-called
democrats who aro misrepresenting
the people of the south in congress
by mistaking the few interests that
infest the lobby rooms inv Washing
ton during tho sitting of congress,
as their constituency instead of tho
large majority of the people who are
at home, being fooled by their du
plicity. It is to bo hoped that they
will bo taught in the next election
that the constituency which they rep
resent is so small that by a large
majority they will bo permitted to
stay at home, and attend to their
secular affairs, while they are be
ing represented by their own repre
sentatives. I believe it is a good
sign to see honest republicans like
LaFollette, Cummins and others Isav
ing tho corruption of their party
while some of tho so-called demo
cratic misrepresentatives aro reach
ing over the fence for a little piece
of the trust pie. When will our
voters learn their interest and vote
accordingly when they stop to think
and gain their independence over
their masters, the trusts.

was surprised to find the following
as a news item in The Commoner of
September 3, 1909: "Beverly, Mass.,
dispatches say that in a conforenno
between President Taft and mem
bers of his cabinet, it was decided
to push the national incorporation
act, so that corporations could get
away from state control and under
federal authority exclusively." I
think this can not be true, for Presi
dent Tafj; was an eminent judge be
fore he became president and knows
that congress has no power to in
corporate anything, for he knows
that at four different times during
the session of the federal convention,
Marshall (who was afterwards chief
justice of the supreme court) and
others, tried to have the power to
grant letters of incorporation em
bodied in the constitution and failed
each time. He also knows that on
the 14th of September, 1787, they
made their last appeal as follows:
"Question to grant letters of incor
poration for canals, etc. A clause
proposed to be added to the eighth
section of the first article; passed In
the negative." (See proceedings of
tho federal convention, Elliot's de
bates.) President Taft also knows
that this appeal proves that, up to
that date September 14, 1787 it
was the unanimous opinion of the
convention that no such power had
been granted to congress, and as tho
power has not been given to con
gress since that time by an amend
ment to the constitution, the only
method by which it could be done
constitutionally, nor prohibited to
the states, it remains in the states
as one of their reserved rights. (See
tenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States.) Knowing
these facts, President Taft will not
violate his oath of office by recom
mending to congress the passage of
a law which ho would have to veto
in order. to keep that oath.

A HANDS OMB PRESENT POIt YOURSELF OR FRIENDS
Every woman, married or single, should have a pair of these Patent Tension
Shears. This special introductory offer, made to T secure now suffcrlbers t2
The American Homestead, is one of tho most useful articles over lnvnntnrt-
thSf8fcSS58KK f 8-lnch Shears equipped with a nW "and slmjfe attaShmSnt
that keeps i them always sharp and enables the user to cut anything from wot
tissue to the heaviest cloth. Thoso shears will not fall to pleisf you
xuu illustration snows the patent ten
sion spring, the devico that doubles tho
usefulness of tho shears and always keeps
them sharp. Tho shears offered hero aro
made from tho best grade of carbon steel
from a new process which insures
strength and a good keen-cutting edge.
The tension spring attachment does away
with re-sharrening entirely, and enables
the user to set tho tension .on tho rivet
so that any kind of material intended to
be cut with shears may bo cut with per
fect ease, without tiring tho hand. Tho
tension spring takes up all the wear on
the rivet, making tho shears practically
Indestructible, with no wear-out to them.
A simple turn of tho little thumb-screw
shown in tho engraving tightens up tho
blades as closely as may be desired. Any
woman who has had the exasperating ex
perience of trying to use a dull pair of
shears can readily appreciate the value
of this new invention, which keeps this
pair of shears always sharp and in per
fect cutting condition. No matter how
many pair of shears or scissors you may
tvi? P0111 the house, you need this pair
with the tension spring, and when you
get it and use it once, you wJUrtuse it in
preference to any other you 'may have.
These shears are eight inches In length,
perfectly finished, and heavily nickel
plated. The quality of the material and
workmanship of theso shears is guaran
teed by the maker.
