boforo election day.
Thoy should be with uh In tho oppo
sition to that centralization, which
would destroy our system of govern
merit and ultimately make It necos
snry for the farmer, as well ns other
citizens, to look to tho national cap
ital, rathor than to tho stato capital
and tho county seat, when seeking re
lief from corpora to abuses.
Thoy should bo with us for tlio pop

come tax; for tho guarantee to tho la
boring men, as well iih to all men, tho
light of trial by jury; for the farmer
Iiiih a deep concern in tho welfaro of
tho Inborlug muti who Is tho consumer
of tho farmer's products.
They Bhould be with us on tho guar
nntco of bank deposit; for what shall
It profit ti farmer If ho obtain high
prices for his product, and then have
no place where ho may, with absolute
confidence, deposit hip hard-earned

They should ho with us upon the
groat quosllnn, "shall tho peoplo rulo,"
for tho farmer has n deep mid abiding
intorcBt In popular government; and If
die docs not already know It, Investiga

In tho languago of tho Doniocratlo na

ference, us denying the right of trlnl
by jury to the defendant corporation,
of attempting to visit punishment upon
a corporation which hnil not oven boeu
indicted and or setting his personality
and beliefs above the law."
Many Ropubllcnu papers heartily
approve tlio decision. Some of thorn
nro Indignant that Judgo Lnndls "by
inrcrenco" denied to tho Standard Oil
Company "tho light of tilal by Jury,"
but thoy condemn tho efforts of Domo
icrats who Insist that tho right of trlnl

indirect contempt cases.
UNFORTUNATE.
I In the light of tho blttor criticism
Visited upon Judgo Landls by Judgo
OrosBcup In releasing tho Standard Oil
Company from fine, It will not do, of
Icourso, to criticise the court, although
jwo have eminent Republican authority
for such u course, I. e Theodore Roose
velt's criticism of Judgo Humphrey's
boot trust decision. We make bold to
say, however, that tho New York
,Wirld puts It forcefully, although
calmly, whon It says "It is uurortu
Jtiato this most harsh condemnation
-of a judgo by his higher associates
should have been for bis attempt ade
quately to punish tho Standard Oil
'Company."
A SUGGESTION TO MR. SHERMAN.
Associated Press dispatches say that
Representative James S. Sherman, the
Republican noniluoo for vlce-piesldont,
will make a tour of tho west In behalf
of tho Republican ticket. Vo sug
gest that Mr. Sherman, who is Speak
or Cannon's right hand man in tho
bouse, toll tho peoplo what he thinks
of (ho Republican revolt against Can
nonlsm. Ily tho tlmo Mr, Sharninn gets
through explaining to Republicans tho
methods of the Cannon-Sherman oli
garchy lu tho house, ho may liavo somo
tlmo to devote to his wldoly ndver
Isod "arraignment ot Doinocrats."
NOT AN INCH'CONCEDED.
Tho Npw York Evening Post says
that tlio Democrats "practically con
redo Now Yorlc to tho enemy." Tho
Post is mistaken. Now York Is Demo
cratic ground and every Inch of it will
tg cgnUmtod.
"AVR THE ELECTION."
under date of New York, July 22, fol
lows: "The report that the Standard
Oil Company Is about to unnouiico an '
Increase of $500,000,000 In Its capital
stock was leeolved with gieat Interest
in tho financial dish let hero to-dny.
Similar rumors have been circulated
several times lu the Iiihi few years,
paitlcularly in the went, but generally
they have been met with denials by
the Standard Oil Intel ests. A promi
nent financier who has close lelatlons
with tho Rlandnrd Oil Company said:
'1 inn sure that It Is the same old
story revived again and that there Is
nothing lu It. Certainly this would
bo a most Inopportune time to tako
any Hiich action, with a presidential
election only a few months ahead of
us. I suppose It Is possible that some
thing of that kind tuny he done somo
time lu the future, but not this yenr
not now.' "
This would he "a most Inopportune
tlmo" to pump a half billion gallons of
water Into the Standard Oil stock. If
anything like Hint Is done II will be In
accordance with other Republican
plans "after election."
"After the election" the tariff will
bo levlsed by a parly that dorlvcH Its
campaign funds from the special bene
ficiaries or tho tariff.
"After tho election" tho contribu
tions to the campaign fund will be pub
lished when It Is too Into for tho peo
ple to learn (lint tho trusts pny tho
bills for the Republican campaign.
"After the election" Standard Oil
trust stofk will be vatorrd If that
course nulls tho purposes of the Rock
efellers and tho RogerseB; and "after
tho election" should the people re
elect the special privileges' party
they will pay dearly for their Indiffer
ence to tho solemn warning confront
ing them on every hand.
BUT THEY FORGOT IT.
Tho New York Tribune saye: "Mr.
Hryan Is not fortunato In his efforts to
create political capital out of tho
reasonable popular deslio for publicity
In respect to campaign receipts and
expenditures. A few weeks ago, whllo
both tho nominees we.ro still lu the
position or candidates tor tho nomina
tion, Mr. ltrau, in what he conceived
lo be a muster stroke of adroitness,
Invited Mr. Tuft to express uu opinion
as to the propile'.y of shedding full
light on the funds employed In a con
test for the presidency, tholr sources,
amounts and distribution. Thereupon
Mr. Tuft, who bad hesitated to as
sume an authority not yet bestowed
upon him, caused the fact to be made
known that he had already declared lu
writing for complete publicity, which
left Mr. Hryan lu a Homewhut less com
fortable position that ho had sup
posed himself to bo assured of when
liu addressed his complacent sugges
tion to the prospective Republican can
didate." put several Important -facts aro to
bo remembered in this connection.
Chalrniim llurrows forgot, to tell
tho convention about tho "publicity
letter" ho lecelved from Mr. Taft.
The Republican congress forgot to
pass a law providing for publicity.
The Republican national convention,
which nominated Mr. Taft, defeated,
by a vote of 880 nays to 04 yeas, tho
LaKollotto plank pi o tiling for pub
licity. And the best the Republican party is
.willing to do on -this Hue is tho prom
ise that '"after llio election" Repub
lican managers will take the peoplo
into their confidence.
NOT ISSUES1
Attorney General Wado H. Kills of
Ohio, who wab a member of tho com
mittee on resolutions in tho Repub
lican national convention, Issued a
Btntoment lu which, referring to the
propositions voted down In tho Re
publican convention, he says: "Of tho
seven omissions he (Mr. Hryan) re
fers to, six are In no sense Issues be
fore tho peoplo at this time, nor hnn
there boon any attempt to make them
such hy the administration, nor by nny
other lutluentlnl element In tho pnrty.
Tho seventh concerns Injunctions."
Many Republican papers suppressed
this portion of Mr. Kills' statement.
The reason for the suppression will
bo readily understood when it is re
membered that among tho proposi
tions which Mr. Kills says are "In no
sense Issues before the peopla" aro
tho following:
Publicity ot campaign contributions.
Ascertaining the vnluo ot railroads.
Tho national Income tax.
Tho encroachment of predatory
wealth.
Popular elect Ion of United States
senntors.
Mr. Kills has, perhaps, noticed that
since the publication ot his state
ment the Republican cnndldnto for
president has given proof that ho has
discovered that tho people have some
concern In the publiclty-of-campalgn-contributions'
proposition.
TREASONl
We would not for tho world ongago
In criticism of the court. Hut unruly
there can bo no harm in reproducing
a Republican editorial (for whoever
knew a Republican editorial to bo out
of accord with tho accepted rules ot
pollto society?). Tho Now York Press,
a Republican pnpor, referring to tho
Grosscup decision, snys:
"Tho judgment of tho court of ap
peals, which calls for careful scrutiny
nnd cool reading, can not alter tho pub
lic conviction that the offenders be
hind the Standard Oil corporation In
Its robato crimes deserve to be in tho
penitentiary and will to srnt thero
when tho law Is enforced by Uiom who
tako oaths to administer it."
TYPICAL LUMBER
A Scene In the Northern Timber Country.
FOUGHT TO
ALLIGATORS IN A DUEL TO THE
DEATH.
SaurianB In New York Zoo Settle
Question of Supremacy While
Spectators Look On Unable
to Interfere.
Now York. A light to tho death be
tween two alligators furnished several
hundred visitors to tho Hronx zoologi
cal gardens with n spectacle rarely
seen north of Mason nud Dixon's line.
Tho conflict was waged In tho 40-foot
pool outsldo tho reptile cage.
Ono of tho alligators was "Captain,"
bo named because lie has always been
master of tho aquarium tank. When
ho slid out of tlio crato Captain Belit
tled triumphantly over to tho larger
pool and swam around it several
times.
Finally his malicious little eyes
lighted on a staid-looking 'gator called
Whltey, who has been In the habit of
lording it over tho Hronx park alli
gators. The two boss 'gators looked at each
other for n minute or two. Finally,
finding that it was impossible to catch
each other napping, tho two great rep
tiles closed with a rush.
Hy tho tlmo tho keepers entered the
inclosuro every other 'gntor had left
tho pool. Tho men beat tho forms of
tho two fighters with their poles, but
thoy could not seo whero they were
hitting becuuBo of tlio spray and the
different positions which the writhing
forms took every instant Once tho
spray subsided a little and they saw
that Whltey had bitten Captain's front
leg entirely off. Tho two 'gators drew
off for a minute.
Whltey, moving moro quickly than
Captain, will his thrco legs, could
turn, saw a chnnco to get a death grip
at the side of Ills head and rushed in
again. There was a tremendous churn
ing up of tho wntor for n minute or
two.
Whltey was swimming around and
around tho pool, with the dend body of
Captain In his jaws. Ho was cut and
blooding In a dozen parts of his scaly
'body, and ono of his eyes was torn and
filll of blood. Ho had torn two of tho
logs off Cnptaln's body.
The only way that tho keopers were
ablo to get tho body from him was to
lnsso his head and legs,- draw him to
tho sldo of tho pond, and pry his jaws
open with their poles. Even then

tlmo In her life of CO years, (ho wlfo
of America Masscy, a former olnvo
who lives with George Lnswell nt Mln
nesotii street and Churchman avenue,
has turned from black to white.
The llrst 1C yeaia of her llfo wore
spent In slnvery as u housemaid and
as sho can remember nothing about
her parents she does not attempt to
explain tho mystery 'which has battled
ovoryono who has seen her, as well as
numerous physicians who have exam
Incd her.
Having completed tho third transfor
mation Mrs. Massey is now of a fair
complexion. Her bkln is not light In
patches, but Is completely white, with
tho exception of thrco small brown
Bpots on the right sldo of her face and
one on tho left. A tint of pink on
ench cheek adds n bit ot color to her
appeoranco and tho curly hnlr, which
is gray only In patches, brings addi
tional contrast. When working about
the houso hIio rolls her sleeves, show
ing arms whiter than would bo ex
pected on a woman with a fair skin.
In mnklng tho first complete change
from blnck to whlto and then from

sayH she noticed an itching sensation
of the 3kln before tho appearance ot

Although she has not as yet noticed
tho accompanying itching sensation,
tho appearance of tho llttlo spots on
