pestiferous nothing at all worthy the
name of controversy.
DoDes any one understand this aban
don of populist contention, populist as
sertion, charge or counter charge is
really a condition of progressing re
form. To identify populist progressive re
form from other kinds, it is quite nec
essary to discern considerable noise,
and to hear something about "howl"
hear the refrain, republican taxation,
republican bribery, republican despot
ism, democratic hypocriay, treachery,
perfidy and democratic devilishness
generally.
Oh! for a million genuine populist
"calamity howlers." , Yes! ; for liite,
liberty, happiness-and a running over
and standing in the slop measure of
satisfaction. Preferred 3tock are they;
yea, forever preferred to any sofe
oaplng of old party brotby boys.
', Incident to reform progress is an al
ways consederable expense account,
which modern laws and customs of civ
ilization have made . necessary. The
ways and means for payment of these
expense accounts an not be adequately
attained by direct appeal, or threat or
promise. But generations cf experience
has ' fully demonstrated that;- through
the social, the conscientious and ' the
educational organization, means legi
timate to the conception of an asso
ciation's organic polity, varely if ever
fails of acquirement. At least if funds
to maintain a cause can by any method
be realized, they are derived because
of the conscientious principle and so
cial devotion which impels the patron
to make the sacrifice upon the altar of
. his faith. ; 7 .; 77:. ; 77"-;, ;y
' ' When the the bid societies of the
Farmers Alliance and Farmers Mu
tual Benefit associations met in regu
lar session, the populist party could
cot falter for want of funds. Disas
ter to the people's party could not
have endured had not thereby the far
mers' societies been destroyed.
The present necessity is a farmers'
society that can not. be destroyed and
,1 believe it will be found incorporated
. in the system now promulgated by the
association of the Chosen Farmers of
America.
Without social organization, the re
form press can not obtain interested
readers enough. Without social organ
ization reform speakers, exhorters and
orators can not obtain the. proper op
'portunity to interest voters enough.
Organization socially, conscientiously
and selfishly is the matering alterna
tive. , HON. A. C. VAN TINE.
Answer to Whita.ker
. Mr. J. M. Whitaker Falls City, Neb.
My Dear Sir: I note your letter in
last week's issue of The Independent.
I see thereby that you favor fusion of
Bryn and Watson in '1908. I don't
know what your motive is for that,
but Ihope that your motive is not as
bad as the results would be if- the
people the reform forces were to
follow your suggestion. You say "we"
- believe him (Bryan) to be the same
Brvan. fully as honest and sinroro in
his advocacy" of the principles of our
platform as he-was when he was our
candidate in 1896 and 1900." You will
find lots of reformers, that believe
that way, , I believe that myself, but
l wouia not vote ior him, for the office
of justice of peace, his whole ambi-
tions and efforts lor the last ten years
seem to have been aimed at the re
form forces while posing as a reformer
It seems very Dlain that he did it h.
cause he thought he could crionle all
reform movements more effectually by
posing as a rerormer , than he would
to come Out right on tha other nlan
of destruction, and he was right in
tnat. He crippled all our reform move
nients badly for rfca Dast several vears
but: I thank God the people are getting
onto his racket now. As I say r don't
know what your motive is for writing
as you did, but if your-motives are
- 'good,T am really sorry that you can't
see "the man of your own state" more
nearlv as he is than rnnr letter cnr
gests. If yrfu need evidence against
Mr. Bryan ,or of the people's right for
such an opinion of Mr. Bryan, just note
m several of his political movements for
tne past several years. For instance
see how he denounced Parker as every,
thing bad up unil the St. Louis con
vention, see how he fousrht Parker's
, nomination there until it is believed
ne got tne promise of the next noml
nation, then see how . he prayed . for
marker s victory, how he declared Par
ker's election meant his fBrvan's
Ideals performed n politics. How jfloes
that show up for Bryan? You say
tne common people never had a bet
ter friend than W. J. Bryan." I say
you never made a broader .misstatement
in your life but let us hope you. are
" """Nionest in It. But.we kno you are not
correct In it, now. 1 ; For God'3 sake,
' and for the peoplefs sake, too, open
your eyes. 4o what Is going on around
you and don't lend your influence to
a seml-wouTd-be reformer that is pos
ing as a real reformer, but is a Judas
Iscariot with the same motives of
Grover Cleveland, Benedict Arnold,
Dave Hill, Alton Parker, Augu3t Bel
mont, et al., and for decency's sake
don't compare the -muddy whimsical
changable (? ? ?) Bryan to the frank,
fearless, upright, honest and most sin
cere Watson, than whom Thomas Jef
ferson himself was of no higher mo
tives and intentions. He - has been
tried in the firey furnace, but denun
ciations or that money, sentiment and
official positions were put up for his
acceptance in unlimited quantities, he
has never swerved one iota, nor ever
will. He is always the same and is
always at work. He ha3 never lost
any time since I have known him. He
is continually fighting the oppressors,
but for the last eight years since hi3
opponents stole jiis . campaign thunder
for a farce and hi3 own friends ( ?)
and followers betrayecf their trusts and
ignorantly (?) tried to sell him out,
he has had" to wage his war with lit
eraturebooks etc.," in a quiet man
ner until evolution and dissolution
brought forward a time when he could
most consistently appear personally be
fore the public and unfurl a declara
tion of independence and a flag of
freedom and . with armor .buckled on
he planted the same on as nearly as
possible on every hill top in these
United States. No man can fail to see
the fruits of his silent warfare. Now
on for Thomas E. Watson in 1908.
Bryan had just as well take a "go way
back and sit down" seat now as any
time. He will have it to do finally.
If you are going to denounce an enemy
at all, denounce the one that poses as a
friend. Many' of our well meaning re
formers have been misled by Bryan, a
good number of whom have already
awakened to the situation and returned
to the true line of reforms. ' Let us
hope you will all do that finally. Be
careful hereafter and don't stray off
after any hired reformer that is,
hired to , wreck reforms. The fields
are ready for the harvest, the fruits are
fast ripening, a word to the wise, etc.

Deaconesses -
Thi3 was the title- of a ministry
to which, women were appointed in the
early church whose uuty .. was to per7
form certain functions toward female
catechumens during the ceremony of
baptism by immersion,' which could
not so well be performed by the dea
cons. In the church of today the work
of the deaconesses is established in
nursing, caring for poor and educating
children. These tLree branches receive
special attention in our protestant
As it is in the sense or the Board
of Trustees of Tabitha Home to more
fully take up the deaconesses work, I
herewith would like to call the atten
tion of such young women and widow3
between 18 and 40 years of age who
feel the desire to work in the vineyard
of the Lord, to send their application
for this work at once.
All applicants will kindly address:

OnTh Firing Lin
If there are any who doubt the great
activity among the people and the
wide-spread movement for reform It
would cure their apathy if they could
see the mail and read the letters re
ceived at The Independent office. There
is deeper interest and greater zeal
shown now than for several years. . In
many localities new populist papers are
being established. This means more
education along populist lines and
more education means more converts
for reform. ' Independent readers are
especially active. They are sending in
many clubs of new readers and push
ing the educational work in almost
every state. For the assistance they
are giving The Independent is deeply
indebted and acknowledges with
thanks the generous support it 13 re
ceiving. - In these days of plutocratic
tyranny it could accomplish but little
without the co-operation, of ts read
ers. But with their help and the help
Of the new populist papers that are
being established it can and is doing
much in building up the party organi
zation. Those who are not already at
work 3hould get out on the firing line
get your man and send in his name
and address. Follow it up, one after
anotner and in a short time you will
have a handsome list to your credit.
Five months for 25 cents is the special
trial rate. - - "

Regulating Freight Rates -
Editor Independent: Keep on with
the good work of education, although
it is hard work to convert a republican
who will read nothing but his own
party paper. I don't have any faith in
getting a commission to regulate
freight rates. It will be the same thing
as the buerau for trust publicity. The
trusts - want the power to "regulate"
everything. It will be easier to buy
a few than the whole nation. I am
With you in this fight.. I. don't think

Reform Literature Necessary

old subscriber and can't git along with-ou-t-JThe

We are in the middle of che road now,
so let us talk populism and let Bryan
ism alone. E. P. BRUCE.
Bruce, La. .
We Offer $1,000
For a Disease Germ That Liquozone Can't Kill
On every bottle of Liquozone we of
fer $1,000 for a disease germ that it
can not kilL We do this to assure you
that Liquozone does kill germs.
And it is the only way: known to kill
germs in the body without killing the
tissues, too. Any drug that kills germs
is a, poison, and it cannot be taken in
ternally. Medicine is almost helpless
in any germ . disease. It is this fact
which gives LJquozone it3 worth to
humanity a worth so great that,, after
testing the product f or two - years,
through physicians and hospitals,, we
paid $100,000 for the "American rights.
And we have spent over one million
dollars, in one year, to buy the first
bottle and give it free to each sick one
who would try it . ,
Acts Like Oxygen
. Liquozone is , not made by com
pounding drugs, nor is there any alco
hol in it. Its virtues are: derived sole
ly from gas largely oxygen gas by a
process requiring Immense apparatus
and 14. days' time. - This process has,
for more than" 20 years, been the con
stant subject of scientific and chemical
research.. , 7, ', : , '
The result is a. liquid that does what
pxygen does. It is a nerve food and
blood food the "most helpful , thing , in
the world to you. Its effects' are ex
hilarating, vitalizing, purifying Yet It
is an absolutely certain germicide. The
reason Is that germs are vegetables;
and Liquozone i ike an excess of oxy
genis deadly to vegetal matter. -
Liquozone goes into . the- stomach,
into the bowels and into the blood,
to go wherever the blood goes. r No
germ can escape it and none can re
sist it ,The results are Inevitable, for
a germ disease must end when the
germs are killed. ! Then,: Liquozone,
acting as a wonderful tonic, quickly
restores . a condition of perfect, health.
Diseases which . have resisted? medi
cine for years yield at once to Liquo
zone, and it cure3" diseases which medi
cine never cures. Half the people you
meet wherever you are can tell you
Of cures that were made by it.
Germ Diseases
These are the known germ diseases.
All . tiat , medicine can do for :these
troubles is to help Nature overcome
the germs, and such results are indi
rect and uncertain. Liquozone attacks
the germs, wherever they are. . Asd
when the germs which cause a disease
are destroyed, the disease must end,
and forever. . That is inevitable. -s
