In this day of prosperity over two
Gill ion children, between the ages of
10 and 14 years are toiling in the coal
nines In Pennsylvania, dragging out
their lives In the glas.3 factories of
New Jersey, slaving in the cotton mills
of the south, working day and night
in the sweatshops of New York and
other large cities and will grow up in
ignorance and deformity. AU that is
going on while the republicans and the
socialists are telling us that this coun
try is producing more than it can con
sume and the only outcome is a for
eign market to prevent absolute star
vation among the mass of the peo
ple. . :
The Bee published a long statement
from Senator Dietrich, purporting to
be a telegram from Washington, advo
cating the employment of convict, la
bor on the Panama canal &nd irrigation
reservoirs. Any man who ever'' had
five minutes conversation with Diet
rich would at once know 1 hat he never
delivered in a conversation or wroce
n line of the docun ent. But as Diet
rich is uuterly discredited at Washing
ton and everywhere else 'ind will leave
the senate on the fourth of March, he
has been chosen as the medium to pre
sent the project to the country. It
is about the baldest newspaper fraud
ever perpetrated. Perhaps it may have
been printed in many other papers.
Major McGregor, who accompanied
Tom Watson when he came to Lin
coln to open the campaign, says: "We
are reorganizing the people's party all
over Georgia and by spring will have
it in good working order. Watson Is
making speeches throughout this con
gressional district this month."
The People's 'Party Paper of Char
lotte, N. C, says: "If there was "any
democracy offered In the last campaign
for the people to stand for we failed
to even get a glimpse of it except what
Tom Watson and his followers offered.
If Parker, Davis & Co. and their plat
form was democracy old Tom Jeffer
son, was a liar and a bigger fool than
Smith's colt."
The suppression of the Watson vote
and - in many places, the refusal to
count the votes that were cast for him,
has a deeper meaning than appears on
the 'surface. Plutocracy V.oes not fear
the violence of a socialistic revolution.
It. has the men and the guns to sup
press it. but it knows that it would
he powerless against strong convictions
and honest principles once presented
to the people. Against the possibility
of that they put up every barrier.
The London Globe says that "in
Yorkshire generally and m Sheffield in
particular, that wife selling is so gen
eral and is still so firmly established
that it has little less force than local
law. In addition to ; those northern
counties many a -wife is sold today, in
the east end of London." And the
English send missionaries to Japan

the .people there to' Christianity. ..,
I The American Malting Co. with $30,-
000,0(Kr of "capitalized prosperity" is
111 trouble; and a judgment of $1,400,000
has been obtained against it. It paid
7 per- cent dividends for three years
while it was floating a mortgage bond
issue for $4,000,000. Now it turns out
that those dividends were paid out of
capital; Nobody seat - to Jail. he

Senator Cockrell was tie man that
Bryan voted for as the democratic can
didate for president ,. President Roose
velt 13 going to give Cockrell a soft
snap on the Panams commission, and
Senator Cockrell now says of the pres
ident: "I believe as the people of tho
south get better acquainted-with him
they will love him more." How ad
mirable i3 the loving kindness of the
republicans toward both wings of tho
democratic party!
Nearly ' all the trust stocks and
bonds have had a big rise lately.
There seems to be no fear of anti
trust legislation or the enforcement of
the anti-trust laws now on the statute
books. The trusts are again starting
out to take ail the traffic will bear.
That is the result of the landslide.
The evils of lynching were demon
strated the other day near St.' Joseph,
Mo. A Mrs. Gay was murdered and the
husband and son were arretted at the
cemetery during the funeral.; There
came very near being a lynching. The
next day, evidence having teen gath
ered to prove that the murdefer was
a tramp, the same men who wanted to
lynch the father and son. appeared at
the jail and demanded the release of
the prisoners. V :
One hundred citizens of Natchez,
Miss.,sent telegrams to Prr s'dent Fran
cis of the World's fair, apologizing and
repudiating - the boorish conduct of
their governor, Vardamaa. " Vardaman

Here is the latest specimen of so
cialism taken from page 1 of" Ghent J
Mass and Class: Marriage had its urig
in' the individualistic accumulation of
property; and thus . the most sacre-1
sentiments which have gradually
grown up about our ideas of chastity
and love are the outcome of the tlesire
of some remote savage to transmit
his overplus of fish hooks and arrows
to a legitimate heir."
The London Spectator says: "The
United States senate may be said to
be composed of plutocrats." Justice
Brewer of the United States supreme
court said in His address to the Albany
law school: "No one can be blind to
the fact that these mighty corporations
are holding out most tempting induce
ments to lawmakers to regard In their
lawmaking those interests rather than
the welfare of the nation. Senators and
representatives have owed their
places to -corporate influence, and that
Influence has been exerted under an
expectation, if not an understanding,
that as lawmakers the corporate inter
ests shall be subserved."
A number of papers "are never tired
of repeating the phrase ''The peo
ple do not want two republican par
ties." These writers never stop to
think that people are just as much op
posed to two populist parties. i
There are -millions of acres of the
richest land in all thew orld lying west
of Nebraska and the Dakotas on which
nothing will grow but sage brush and
scattered tufts of bunch grass with
out a government license. When that
license is given, and it always carries
with it an ' appropriation to put water
on the land, then crop3 are raised such
as the world never saw before. A man
can hardly t. believe his eyes s when he
looks at. them, whether the crop ls ap

wheat, oats, rye or alfalfa, the pbrduct
