Gulp Down Everything
Editor Independent: . I enclose you
a clipping taken from the Nebraska
City News. I thank Mr. Charley Hub
ner for his Invitation to come into tne
democratic party. He has been en
deavoring for the past five years to
destroy the populist party. It seems
he can gulp down anything labeled
democraticWall street and all. I ap
preciate reading The Independent. It
contained many good letters last week,
although I did not get my paper until
Monday. I trust you had a pleasant
day on Thanksgiving. I find about a
hundred populists in Otoe county voted
for Roosevelt electors, which is a
shame.

They Were All Mouth
Editor Independent: I am glad to
-see such a large majority of populists,
who have so far given expression to
their views, favor a clear cut, straight
populist fight from now on. What may
the people expect in the' way of reform
from the democratic party even if
co-operation or fusion with that party
would place it in power? I believe Mr.
Bryan to bo honest and sincere in
working for true democratic principles
and if elected president would stand
firmly by the people's interests, but
what about the leadership of that
party in the different states? Have
they shown themselves to be men of
conviction? Have not many of them

It is not an easy matter to build

Not Worth Hevvlng
Editor Independent: -"in regard to
coalescing with democrats in a reor
ganization of the democratic party, I
am opposed to it. Bryan acted very
well in view of such a reorganization
of the demqeratic party under the
name democratic, but he does not own
the party and his opponents will rui
it despite all he can do. -He and his
friends are a large part of thevoters
of that party, but they can not tane
the name and after, the results of the
elections of 1892 to 1904 the name is
not worth having as all the sins of
the party are piled on the name and
the load is like the Dutchman's wine at
the sacrament, he could not drink it
all, "It is too much." Would be per
fectly willing to see a ' new party or
ganization with new name and would
be willing to forego some of our most
rabid , points, if the Bryan democrats
will turn down their demands and
make a reasonable platform. The pop
ulists did not expect to elect anyone,
only to educate and make people think.
We adopted some quite .rabid senti

Newspaper Gambling
Cincinnati, Ohio. Nov. 27. At the
Vine Street Congregational church, the
pastor, Herbert S. Bigelow, discussed
that form of gambling which is carried
on by many newspapers under the
guise of guessing contests. Mr. Bige
low said in part: ,
One of our church members told me
that he was competing: for the prizes
offered by a Cincinnati DaDer for the
best guess on the election in Ohio and
that if he won a big prize, he would
give us a handsome donation. This
contingency seems sufficiently remote
that we need not now decide upon the
propriety of accepting such a gift.
It is as remote; as a wedding: fee I
was once promised. After the wed
ding, the groom explained that he had
nothing with which to pay me, but that
Ms wife was expecting a rich inheri
tance from Europe and that when her
ship came in, he would see that I was
not forgotten. As he." apparently had
staked everything on those prospects,
it seemed small m me not to be will
ing to take the chance. At anv rate.
since the ceremony had been per
formed, I agreed to the terms.
The essence of gambling is this.
A man risks something, in the hope
of gaining more at the expense of an
other. rine objection to gambling is
two-fold. It is likely to develop into
an uncontrollable vice. Moreover, it is
a wolfish thing in that those who gam
ble' have no hope of gain save by tne
misfortune of others. .
Take the newspaper euessins con
tests. There are three reasons why a
self-respecting. man ought not to par
ticipate: in them. V. '
1. The t vulture fmirits that Pvnlni
the public with these schemes will find
no lack of carrion, but a self-respecting
man will take some satisfaction that
he has not contributed to the success of
the swindle. -
2. Whoever takes part in the contest
must contribute to the; prize money,
I searched the whole earth for a specific for
Rheumatism something that lor any physician
eould leel sale in prescribing aometblnz that
we eould "eount on not only occasionally, but
always. For the ravages oi rheumatism are ev
erywhere and genuine relief is rare.
After twenty years of search and experiment
I learned of the chemical I now employ. And I
knew then that my search and my efforts were
well rewarded. For tub. chemical gave ine the
basis of a remedy which in the cure of Rheuma
tism is practically.certain.
I don't mean that Dr. Snoop's Rheumatic Cure
can turn bony joints into flesh again that is
impossible. But it will drive from the blood tha
poison that causes pain and swelling and then
that is the end ot the pain and swelling the end
of the suffering the end of Rheumatism.
. I am illing that you should prove my claims
at my expense. I will gladly give yon a full dol
lar package ot Dr. Suoop's Rheumatic remedy
to try. For I know that you and your neighbors
and ft lends will by your good wishes and you?,
good words, more that repay my initial loss.

Crystalized Poison!
You know that hard water leaves a deposit of
lime in the bottom of the tea-kettle in which it
boils and sott water does not, That is because
soft water is filtered and contains no lime, while
hard water Is not filtered and is full of it.
Yon can imagine that it that deposit were to
settle in the joint of your knee it would be ex
tremely painful. And if the deposit grew you
could finally no longer eudure the torture of
walking.
Yet that is the very way that Rheumatism be
gins and ends. Except that the deposit which
torms is not lime but crystallzed poison!
For your blood is always mil of poison the
poison you eat and drink and breathe inio your
system. It is the purpose oi the blood to absorb
and carry on this very poison, And the kidneys
which are the blood filters, are expected to
cleanse the blood and send it back throunh the
system clean to gather more poison which they,
in turn, will eliminate.
But sometimes the kidneys fall.' Andeome
tlnies from some other cause the blood gets so
lull of poison that they cannot absorb it all.
This is the start oi Rheumatism. The poison
accumulates and crystalizes. The blood carries
the crystals and they increase in size. Then,
when it can carry them no longer, it deposits
them In a joint on a bone anywhere.
'lhe twinae in your leg the uull ache in your
arm on a rainy day thest are the outward signs
oi the unseen crystals. And the twlstet limbs
and unspeakable anguish of the sutterer who
has allowed his symptoms to go unheeded and
unattended for years these are the evidences of
what Rheumatisni, neglected, can do. -
Rheumatism includes lumbago, sciatica,
neuralgia, gout .or all these are the results of
rheumatic poison in the blood.
Plainly, the first thine to do is to remove the
poison. But tbisls not enough. The formation
of the poison must be stopped, so that nature
may have a chance to dissolve and eliminate the
crystals which have already formed. Unless
this is done thare can be no cure no permanent
relief. ...
Pr.Shp6s
A Certain Cure!
I spent twenty years in experimenting before I
felt satisfied that I had a certain remedy for
this dread disease a remedy which would not
only clean out the poison, but one which would
stop its lormatlon.
The secret lay in a wonderful chemical I found
in Germany, When I lound this chemical I
knew that I could make a Rheumatic cure that
would be practically certain. But even then
before I made an announcement before I was
willing to put my name on it I made more than
2,000 tests. And my failures were but 2 per cent.
This German chemical Is not the only Ingre
dient I use in Dr. Snoop's Rheumatic Cure but
It made the remedy possible made possible an
achievement which I doubt not could have been,
made in no other way. - -
This chemical was very expensive. The duty,
too was high. In all It cost me $4.90 per pound
But what is $4.90 per pound for a real remedy
for the "world's most painful disease? tor a keaj,
relief from the greatest torture human 1eing3
know. ,.- - 1
But I do not ask youj to take a sing'.e state
ment of mine I do not ask you to believe a
word 1 say until you have tried my medicine In
your own home at my expense absolutely. Could
I offer you a full dollar's worth ree if there ivera
any misrepresentation? Would I do this iff
were not straightforward in'my every claim?
Could I AFFORD to do it it J were not SURE
that my medicine will help you? . , ' ' .
The offer is open to everyone, everywhere.
But you must write ME for the tree dollar bottle
order. All dru 'gists do not grant the test. I
will then direct you to one that does. He will
Phss it down to you irom his etoek as freely as
though your dollar laid before him. Write ior
the order todav. Address Dr. Shoop, Box 8940
Racine, Wis. I will send you my book on Rheu
matism beside. It is free. It will help you to
understand your case. What more can 1 do to
convince you oi my interest of my sincerity?
Rheumatic Rimedy
though it is almost; a certainty that he
will get none of it. Those who do win
will probably spend their money in
riotous living, or have .their heads
turned by unearned riches; and it
would be humiliating '"' to know that
one's own money had gone to swell -he
head and spread the feathers of such
as these.
3. Finally, think of the people who
live in comparative poverty and who
grasp at these chances like drowning
men at straws; . who attack their sav
ings, who mortgage their future wages,
who pawn their keepsakes that they
may buy chances. A pawnbroker told
me that the Cincinnati inquirer guess
ing contest increased his business two
thousand dollars a -year. The people
fly into this game like moths into a
flame. When it is over, they come
down to earth with a thud Whoever
enters one of these contests says by
his conduct: "I am something of both
fool and knave." He becomes the
patron of a scheme which subjects the
weak and the thoughtless to tempta
tion in the "ain but vicious hope of
reaping a fortune put of their folly.
It is well to pay for what.one gets
and to hope for nothing which one can
not earn. If honest industry does not
bring satisfactory rewards, and it Joes
not, it is better to aid the social prog
ress which will prove a blessing to all
than to be consumed with the gam
bler's ambition to win u a game which
of necessity means somebody's loss.
Wants the Tried fvnd True
Editor Independent: I see you are
asking for a referendum vote and have
"prepared a ballot" that can only part
ly express the sentiments of a popu
list who has always fought against
fusion. You place 1 efore us an alter
native (in the ballot) to. maintain a
non-fusion organization, or marry te
Bryan organization in order to reform
or capture it. '' 0
-Let us reflect. " Suppose we main
tain a non-fusion organization." Sup
pose the Bryanites realizing this de
termine to fight fire with fire, and so
seek to capture our organization by
joining us; and after Bryan has suf
ficiently cleansed himself by washing
in the Esopu3 bath house, he cornea to
us and says, "I will join the populist
party if you will nominate me in 1908,"
and his followers ; being In our organ
!7atlnti hark nn. his motion. What
then will become of our noble and
brave : Thomas Watpon and his grand
old running mate? v Your ballot does
not provide for that; Prepare your bal
lot with a clause something like this:'
The people's party should maintain a
non-fusion organization, should pledge
that organization to ''he support of
Watson and Tibbies (if living) in 1908,
and should never nominate any person
for any office who has not ; identified
himself with our party: for at least twa
presidential campaigns - V :
After such a clause I can conscien
tiously put my X and back it up from
now till election in 1908.
