The actions of the Crumpacker press of this district to set the gentleman upon a pedestal as a representative of the is laughable indeed. They experience no difficulty in convincing the standpatters that Mr. Crumpacker is very regular—his votes in support of Camion and the things he represents is 'Efficient evidence: .. To': convince tie progressive element that he has their • interests at heart is a more difficult matter because there is nothing to substantiate the assertion. To say that he is the friend of the soldier is sufficient to create •unseemly mirth at a idnera-I because after fourteen years of service there is naught of achievement at which, to point with • pride.

THE BREACH WIDENS.

Acting upon Mr. Beveridge's instructions, Mr. Beveridge's state committee has decided to play him up as “a paramount issue.” This leads the Indiana correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer (himself a Republican) to sav: “Republicans who great!j deplore '.■ ' V

the bitter factional struggle, fear that a mistake has been made in attempting to push Senator Beveridge forward as an issue instead of an asset. They say that the Organization has played right into the hands of nothing better than an excuse to bolt the ticket, on the ground that he, and not the old-time doctrine, is to be considered.•The organization is deferripg to Senator Beveridge in everything, which seems to be adding to the resentment of the old-timers, who no longer, make any pretense of concealing their anxiety to bring about his defeat. The breach was widenedthis week by a statement of Senator Beveridge, who claimed that the election in Maine was a repudiation of Senator Hale and the standpat leaders generally, in that state. The standpatters in this state are now drawing their lines tighter for the purpose of repudiating Senator Beveridge and his insurgent doctrines. “Senator Beveridge, it is said, intends to cut loose in his keynote speech on Sept. 27 with a line of argument that .will increase the bitterness. He is manifesting a disposition to disregard entirely party lines and to make his appeal on a non-partisan basis. Under the circumstances the leaders of the regulars say that there is no reason to look upon him as a Republican. They assert that a Republican need have no hesitation in voting against Senator Beveridge in view of the stand he has taken. But while all the above —and a good deal more—is going on, the Beveridge organization, on the one hand, is begging the regulars to support the ticket in order to keep the Democrats from carrying the state, arid on tfie other hand is asking the Democrats to support the Beveridge ticket as "non-partsans." The whole game i~ hypocritical and silly.

WOOLEN TRUSTS.

Congressman Crumpacker Will Have Some Difficulty in Explaining His Part. Mechanic:—Jim. I have been reading some of your talks-with the Merchant and 1 am getting interested. Judge Crumpacker -*?nt me a "speech a little while ago. anti in it he said that the Ways and Means Committee in the house, I -uppose those are the fellows who study up®fhe>e things, had been studying the tariff and having hearings for over a year before the president was inaugurated. He said the committee "gate opportunity to all who desired to submit evidence or argument either for reduction of duties or for an increase.” I thought the Judge might be fair in that statement. Farmer: —You did? Did he tell you who had the appointing of That Committee? Mechanic:—No. Who did?

Farmer: —Why. I«*e Cannon, the man who a high - tariff > -acred, who gets, the big glove manufacturer just what he wanted. the very fellow the Judge has . «ttd for right and left all the ■ - ’ - ’ ■time*.,

Mechanic:—Well. didn’t that Committee act honestly and really hear evidence? Farmer: —Sure they heard evidence. but who did they hear? Have you got the. money to go down there and tell them you art- paying too much for woolen coats for your boys? Mechanic :—W ho did they hear? ■ '-'t-y-Farmer :—AYhy. the big woolen manufacturers for one thing, the glove manufacturers for another, the sugar refining people for another. Who represented you and me? o: ( . Mechanic: —Yoy mean to say that just the big fellows were card? Who represented you and tile? Farmer:—l don’t know. Ida Tarbell. the ctirageous woman who exposed "Coal-oil Johnny.” says in the September number of the American Magazine that "the method by which the bill was made was the worst possible, i ‘uties were traded openly, like »rses at a .county fair.*’ Mechanic:—What did the Judge mean when he said everybody had a chance to be heard' 1 don’t like to be deceived in things of this kind for I have got to rely on my Congressman to make my laws and so have. you. Farmer:—That’s so. But you know now what was done to you. don’t you? By the way. what did you read in that, little speech about woolen coats for your boys? Mechanic'The Judge admitted that reductions ought to have been made in wools and woolens, but that they were not changed at all. He really ought to have stood out in our favor in tha* thing to the end. There’s where I blame the Judge. He gave in too easy, for what reason I do not know. He merely said in talking about the wool schedule that he hoped some “substantial reductions”, might be made, but that he was onlv one member out of JQ2 in the - house and if any

legislation was had at all. it was better to effect a compromise on the best Terms possible, and that was done and the .Payne tariff law was the result of that compromise. Farmer;—Who did he compromise with, your friends or mine? Mechanic: —That s it. really I am getting doubtful. Farmer: —That’s a manly attitude isn’t it? Does the . judge know that at the very time he was letting this "compromise " go through, that the woolen manufacturers had one set of grafters up seeing Cannon’s Committee and asking them for Heaven’s sake not to change the duty on wool, or they would be forced to pay lower - prices to the American grower, andjthat at the same time another set of officers and grafters in the same manufacturer’s combnation w ere coming to a "gentleman’s agreement” to fleece the wool-grower and keep the price of wool down the minute the Payne law was passed. Mechanic; —W ell if the price of wool comes down I get my boys’ clothing cheaper then? Farmer:—You do hey? Not on your life. The old wool schedule in the Payne law that the Judge accepted as a "compromise” and voted for to the last, serves t ; ■ keep foreign wool out. That pri* : tects the manufacturers here Then they form a combination and have -a "gentleman’s agreement” to keep the price of raw | wool down to bleed the fellow who has wool for sale here,- and at the same time put *J‘e_price . ' oolen clothing and manufactured up to the Consumer, That’s where you come in. Mr. Meehan ic. for a fancy price for your boyV ■ >at>.

Mechanic:—Yes. and thatwhere you come in for a fleecing •»n your sheep. Thev've got us both on the hog train. But are you sure of that? Where did you find that out?Farmer:—See it? Why, in the Indianapolis Star for one place in the issue of September 9th. The Star said: ' Protected by the Payne-Aldrich tariff, the manufacturers can charge excessive prices to the consumer. Protected by their "gentleman’s agreement,” they can dictate prices on ment.” they can dictate prices to the wool growers. In other words, the manufacturers occupv the position of a proprietor of a "sure thing gambling house, skin ’em coming and going. No chance to lose. Mechanic:—Great Heavens ! When the Judge told his constituents down here that everybody had a .chance to be hea.xb did hr really know what was going on? Del this man consent to this "compromise." knowing that .hese theives were plottng t -kin you. on the one hand, who have wool to sell, and me on the • thcr who must pay for my children's clothes out of hiy hard-tr-rned daily wages? Fanner:-—Draw your own conclusions. neighbor. Ida Tarbell says. “There never was a greater humbug.’ Senator Dolliver. said in the United States senate: "The past year witnessed two events f unusual interest—tlie discovery of the North Pole by Doctor Cook and the revision of the tariff downward by tire Senator from Rhode Island—each in its wav a unique hoax." The Judge was there all the time and says everybody had a fair hearing. Let hint explain it if he can. An armload of old papers for a nickel at The Democrat office.

EIGHT LITTLE MAIDS FOR SCHOOL.

All eight of the young girls stepped off an Illinois street car at the corner of North street. Xot one presented a wholesome appearance. Every coipplexion was putty like. Every one o! them had filled teeth and pale gums.' Not one had cherry dtps r apple cheeks. /'Lackluster eyes and languid manners prevailed, fust one-half of them had splotches or pimples on their faces. Each wore high heeled pointed slippers, and stockings as thin as the gossamer film of summer, Their feet had been considerably deformed by wearing wrong shaped shoes before they reached the age of -seven. High heels had been added later and the deforming of spine, hips and shoulders, was now progressing finely. The deforming of the pelvis and the misplacing of internal argans had been going on for sometime, for all wore corsets laced just a trifle tighter than mother approved, but permitted. No doubt the nutrition of these school girls, such a> it was. was derived principally from chocolate creams, salads and ice cream soda water. In their earlier school days glucose -lick-candy and "all-day suckers” had knocked out wholesome appetites. Probably every one was taking a tonic, or some kiijd of ■'stomach medicines.” One firm f stomach tablet-makers sold ;ive tons of their tablets in one year an 1 netted a big fortune. The takers are now just a lit tv farther oir with their bad stomach- than before taking. The doctors who prescribed the tablets and the druggists who sold them, just smiled for they know '••st people want health by medicine and not by right living, and it is little profit to instruct. Of course, nature’s laws for gaining health cannot be followed. If they were, we could not ride in stuffy streetcars : nor go to school in illy ventilated school rooms: n r go to stuffy churches and theatres : nor have refreshments at parties, nor eat rich candies : nor "rink alcoholic liquors, nor drug urselves with nicotine and caf-f.-in: nor eat riotously of meats; nor read fine print by glaring light: nor overheat our homes; n r sleep in unventilated bedn >ms ; nor stimulate the appetite with spices and salads and w <rge at table: nor could we build unsanitary schoolhouses nor could we have cess-pobls; nor could we drink polluted water; nor could we have house flies. It seems that we just must have all of these conditions and things. Any how we do have them and cling to them. To suggest that they are contrary to nature’s laws of health is to declare oneself a crank.

Well, what is the future of our eight little school maids who should have walked in the open air and sunshine to school, wearing broad ffatheeled shoes, and without stays: who should have eaten plain, well cooked foods sans salads, sans chocolate cream sans ice-cream sodas? One of the eight will die early of consumption, two will die earlv of some one of the several diseases which follow malnutrition, the others will stumble along all of their lives with headaches, rheumatism. billioiisness'. fugitive and dldefined pains, liver and kidney ■.roubles, coated tongues, and bad breaths. Sallow complexions have already arrived, hair will soon begin to thin out. and two hundred or three hundred cents worth of corpse hair will be bought to make up the loss. Eyes will become dulled and glasses will be purchased. Wrinkles and dry skin will appear and drugstore dopes will be bought and applied. Electric baths, cold baths, steam .baths, massage, will all be tried, but the decadence was well started in youth and will not stop. Last scene of all— A rag. a bone and a hank of hair. J. X. HURTY.

PEN PORTRAITS OF NOTED PEOPLE

H. W. Johnson of California, Foe of Party Bosses.

Iliram W. Johnson, the Insurgent Republican who was nominated for governor of California at the recent primary elections, is an exponent of antimachine doctrines and foe of political bossism. In bis campaign Mr. Johnson was assisted by Gifford Pinchot, and at the polls the stalwarts were overwhelmed. Johnson traveled 10,000 miles in the course of his campaign and made speeches in nearly every county of the state. The new Republican leader Is a young and vigorous uian and is said to resemble Colonel Roosevelt in some of his attitudes, though he is smooth shaven and is several years the junior of the former president. He was formerly city attorney of Sacramento, where he was instrumental in “cleaning the town.’* He was also connected with the prosecution of Abe Rues in San Francisco. Mr. Johnson boldly proclaims himself an insurgent, likens the present struggle in America to the conflict against privilege in the time of the French revolution and emphasizes the necessity of asserting the will of the people against the dictation of monopoly.

Sir John's Business Methods. Sir John Fisher of the British navy, who as an admiral has a great many demands upon him from people who go to him on pretense of talking business. is said to be tbe inventor of the following method of warning them off: A slip of paper is handed to the caller before he is taken into the outer office. It says: "When you go to see a business man, go on business and state your business in a businesslike manner. When you have concluded your business go about your business and leave him to finish bis business and mind your own business.”

Hoke Smith of Georgia. For the second time in his career Hoke Smith of Atlanta is to become governor of Georgia. By defeating the incumbent. Governor Joseph M. Brown, at the primaries this result was assured, as the Democratic nomination in Georgia is equivalent to election. Two years ago Brown defeated Smith after the latter had dismissed Brown from the railroad commission on the ground that the commissioner

HOKE SMITH.

was dominated by the railroad interests. Now the Smith star is in the ascendant. The fight was between the progressive Democrats, represented by Smith, and the stand pat element, represented by his defeated opponent. Governor Smith has been more or less in the public eye since 1893, when he was appointed secretary of the interior in President Cleveland’s cabinet. He resigned this post in 1596, some months before the completion of his term. He is a native of North Carolina, fifty-five years old and has lived In Atlanta since 1872. He was admitted to the bar when only eighteen and has practiced his profession with great success since that time. Mr. Smith fs a big man physically, standing six fee* two inches and weighing about 3UG pounds. He was first chosen governor in -lonr
