THE BREAD QUESTION. The "New York World," arguing that the cost of living has increased enormously since 1S07, says: 'On January 1, 1879, in the clos ing days of the Cleveland Administration, the wholesale cost of the breadstui'fs consumed by an. average American in a year was $11.73. On Si-pt...l, 1904, it was $18.47 an increase of $0.74, or over 57 per cent. Of course the consumer himself has had to pay a great deal more." This means either that, the, .meriean is. eating more bread now, or that liepays more 57 per cent more for every loaf. In 1S97 the average man paid '5 cnts for a loaf of bread. With an, increase of 57 per cent, he would pay 8 rents for, that loaf now. Does he? Another way of meeting this allege d enormous increase, would be , to reduce the, size of the. loaf one-iliii'd. Is the present 5-cent loaf of bread' only two-think as large as the 5 cent loaf of 1S97? Any schoolboy old enough to remember 1879 knows better than that. In fact, several cities have lately imposed penal tes on bakers who do not .make their haves of full size and weight. And the bakers are not in the business for love. They are not making bread at a loss. The true explanation is that people have enough to eat in these days, and that they are eating more and better bread than ever before. We are not worrying about 'that sort of increase in the cost of living an increase caused by eating more good things everv vear. A Vote the Trusts Lost. An agent of the Standard Oil company in a small town, of South Dakota was earnestly descanting on the virtues of Mr. Parker and the heavenly administration he. would give the country, when .a stranger asked him his name and occupation. "My name is and T pell oil." "Do you sell for the Standard 6il company?" "Ye-es." "Well, I wish to say? to you that you have made a Republican today out of nic, a life-long Democrat. have seen and read a great deal about the trusts favoring Mr. Parker, and always put it down as Republican lies, but now T 5 believe jjt.5 I am a plain farmer, and never saw. an employe of a great trust 'before, and as the first one I ever hae s4en, is so anxious to see Mr. Parker elected, I shall vote the Republican, ticket, and try to defeat the t-ui.'

A BIG FAKE

U Was the Concocted Barefooted Princess Story. Naples. October 30. Some news agency perpetrated an awful fake on American newspapers some little; time ago to the effect that Princess Alice of Bourbon, divorced from Prince Schoenburg, was going on a pilsrrimage through Italy in her bare feet to do penance for running away with . a coachman. Prince Sehoenburg, it is claimed, accompanied Alice, also on bare feet, though it is not recorded that he ran away with anybody. As a matter of cold act,rher. royal highness has been living here for the last six months unde the assumed name of Mme. Bulcher. Prince Schoenburg she has not seen for two years, but' does notr conceal the fact that the stork is again hov ering over her villa. The father to be is Baron del Prede, captain of horse 11th cavalry. Alice an Del Prede hope to marry some day, but don't worry. Prede is good looking, but poor, and the Princess' income is extremely limited, as she depends almost entirely upon the generosity of her father, Don Carlos pretender to the Spanish crown. .

The Campaign in Indiana. (From New York Sun, Oct. 27.) Is the genius of Tom Taggart manifest in the Indianapolis Sentinel's latest analysis of the character and career of i President Roosevelt? We take one by one the successive senteiwes of this masterly, if not en&re ly accurate, sketch of, the man: f ; Roosevelt is an aristrocrati" 4 About as democratic , an aristocrat I by natural inclination and cultivated hubit,, as at present exists on the1 face of the globe. ! ! ' ' ; "He never worked a dav in his life." He inherited a moderate income, and has been obliged to suppement the same' by his own efforts for ; the needs of his family. "He began to dictate in politics so early that this beginning is not known." U He worked his way ahead by the ordinary methods of polities, and subordination of personal opinion

to organization expediency marked his demeanor at! more than one crisis

in his political fortunes. . "Rules he instituted in the White House . forbid any one sit ting while j he stands." We can't believe it. ' Many old crippled men or wom en have been told to 'stand up. be-j cause 'his Maiesty' is in the rocm. ' " Again, we don't belieAe it. "Wife of Senator Bate, of Tennessee, old and crippled, had this exrerience." Then Mr. Roosevelt did not know of it. He would be the last man to sanction such an outrage in such a case. "Senator Depew, after a dinner at the White House one night, was telling stories in another part of the smoking room and laughing heartily, when a servant came over from T. Roosevelt and told the senator he must desist irom boisterous laugnig, as it would not be tolerated. Plainly a campaign lie. When was the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew ever heard to laugh boisterously at one of his own stories! .: The Hon. Thomas 'Taggart 's hopes of carrying Indianafor Parker and DSayis must be ebbing" fast when he resorts to such desperate measures. POINT AJ.1JUTE Has Been Reached By the Michigan Team. Ann Arbor, Mich., October 30. Michigan will complete the season with a reputation of the old model "a point a minute." The total number of points scored this year-7-not including Saturday's game is 4S1 in 259 minutes of actual play. Count ing 35-minute halves for each of the Wisconsin, Drake and Chicago games Michigan will have, been in action 4G9 minutes this year, and. that will leave twelve points to spare, even if no more scores are made.

"No : matter for that From now or. by letter and not by column, j-our j copy will be measured up.", The young man, looking crestfallen went away ; but in the : very next in stallment of his story he introduced a character who stuttered, and all through the chapter were scattered passages like this : jj-u-ueneve , iue s-s-Sir, 1 am n-n-not g-g-guilty. ;M-m-my m-m-m-mother c-c-committed tthis c-c-crime. "M-m-m-m-my m-m-m-mother. " The editor was horrified at this stammering chapter. He forsaw the introduction of the stammering girl throughout the rest of the serial, and he perceived that, in a work paid tor by the letter, all those stammerings would count up amazingly. He liked the story, and his rate for such matter was not, at best, high. So he sent for the young man pgain, and payment on the old column basis was resumed. Thereupon the girl with the stutter died, and tiie short terse paragraphs all back again. ; came

TIME TO STAND PAT

Is the Conclusion cf a Former Silver Leader. RE0RGANIZER5 ACE NOT SINCERE They Hide Their Reel Purposes Behind an Ambuscade of False PretensesProminent Indiana Democratic Veteran Also Declares Against Reorgantzer Ticket. Colonel Oliver C. Sabin. formerly of Colorado, but now of Washington, who was one of V. J. Bryan's most enthusiastic supporters in the campaigns of 1896 and 1900, has renounced the reorganizer pcrty and will vets for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. During the campaigns named Colonel Sabin was associated with Senator Stewart of Nevada in conducting the "Silver Knight," a free silver paper, and in organizing "The Silver Knights of America," a free silver organization. He also assisted in the writing of the book, "The Hand of Money," circulated so extensively throughout the country in the first campaign of Bryan. In a letter, recently published. Colonel Sabin says: "How it is possible for a man who is honestly in favor of the remonetization of silver to support Judge Parker, who Is the very pet, the idol, you might say, of those men who defeated Bryan, I cannot conceive. Look over the whole list, from ex-President Cleveland, ex Senator Hill. Richard Olney, and. without naming them, the -whole management or the Parker movement now, and we finJ that they were either the active or passive enemies of free silver and of Mr. Bryan, and, in fact, of everything that we as silver men held to be important in our campaign. They nnt only were against us in sentiment, b it they organized a thinl party, went iu and tried to destroy Mr. Bryan and the Democratic party, and they succeeded. Now this same old gang, bought up by the trusts, heeled by the trusts, supported by monopolistic money, the grinders of the face of the poor, is going out asking for the votes of silver men to support a man and a party that has abused us and our people more than they ever have the Republican party. More Money In Circulation. "The Republican party, with what faults it may have, cannot be accused of being insincere, and, furthermore, the Republican party has come to where we wanted them. What we wanted in regard to money was more of it, and the Republican party came to it in a different way. Of course none of us cared for ihe simple "question cf silver only as it affected the volume of currency. There was too small an amount of money in circulation to do the business of the country.' Now we have plenty of money. . - "Look at the financial condition of our countrj' now. Whoever saw such a country? WThere in all history is there record of a country as prosperous as we are today? Look at our immense exportation of goods, billions of dollars being brought into our country from abroad more than we send out. The like was never seen before. Our farmers only a few years ago In the Western states were borrowing money at anywhere from 6 to 10 and in some states 12 per cent. Look at them now. Yo;i cannot loan them money', and most of them have money to loan, and they are glad to get 5 or yr cent for it. Cod is on our side, and the very earth responds to good times. Look at our corn crop, billions of bushels: wheat by the hundreds of millions, and at prices seldom before f equaled. Good Time to "Stand Pat." "Taking it altogether, we find everybody nnd everything prosperous, and as it stands now I am of the opinion, very much, of these Iowa fellows who believe in the doctrine of 'standing pat.' I believe it is well to let good enough alone. I. or any, other person except politicians, do not care who is in power, for there is no political favors we ask. only this, we want prosperity for our country good times; we want our laboring men to be furnished with plenty of work at good times wages, who are thereby enabled to educate their children, dress themselves respectably, give themselves good homes, and it makes them valuable and useful citizens. "President Roosevelt has never left us in doubt where he was on any question, always straight, honest, true and square. He is an American from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet, and nobody can have any doubt as to his standing by the flag of our country and commanding honest respect. The Democrats would do well not to carry on" their campaign expecting to obtain votes from the American people by abusing the personality of Mr. Roosevelt. If they do, he will be elected by the largest majority any president has ever been since the days of Horace Greeley. Everybody knows Mr. Roosevelt is straight, and whether you are his political friend or enemy, you know he is a gentleman, honest, upright and sincere. "The attempt to show that he is wild and erratic has no force whatever, because he has already had charge of the government for nearly four years, and he has done nothing but what was right, surrounding himself with the Tery Ix-st class of adviser.", and if he has sueceded for the first four years of his administration, couldn't he do it four more? Can't we trust h Ira better than Mr. Parker, led by Mr. Hill?' Men Should Be Honest. ' "l think, furthermore, that lnr poll-

tics as well as in business affaire, I a man should be honest and sincere. Now the gentlemen who are managing this Parker boom are neither honest nor sincere. Mr. Hill, I suppose to be

the manager of the whole concern, as he nominated Mr. Parker in the convention; Mr. Parker is his creation. Mr. Hill at a Democratic convention In the state of New York openly advocated and passed a resolution to tha effect of government ownership of all the coal mines; at the same time he and his friends, under cover, were making fun of the idea, and thought It was a good scoop oa the Republicans. They would no more think of carrying it into practice than they would of flying. "Take it with the money Question.

They did not have honesty enough to come out and declare In favor of tha gold standard, hoping to deceive somebody into the belief that they could f support and were believers in silver,

as we used to be. There Is no sincerity In the reorganizer party, ne honesty in It, and 1 tell you that a party, community or man cannot succeed where it practices deceit, dishonesty and trickery. It cannot b done. It is lust as wrong morally to carry out dishonesty In politics as It is in business or morals, and I am. opposed to IL "So far as I am concerned, I am satisfied that the best man is in now. and propose to 'stand paL " Among the many Democrats who have announced their Intention of Toting for Roosevelt is Nelson J. Bozarth of Valparaiso. Mr. Bozarth was a leading candidate for governor before the Indiana state convention and fought in the ranks during the clvjl wcr. He has repudiated Parker, because of the stand taken by him toward old soldiers in his letter of acceptance. Mr. Bozarth is not the only old soldier who has bolted the reorganlzer ticket. &oeo4oooeo4oo4oioeoeo4 THE DEMOCRATIC f t TKUST HECOJil). i o 0 oo4oooooooJ It will be remembered by every person old enough to vote that in 1892, as in 1904, the Democratic shibboleth was "down with the trusts and monopolies, the creations of Republican legislation!" On that war cry Democratic leadership came to power In the whit house and the capitol on March 4, 1893. It had two whole years, 24 months. 728 days, In which to do business for the country's good. In that time it might have repealed every law on the statute books of the nation; in that time it might have replaced th old laws with new ones intended te overthrow every combination of capital which had worked injury to the people. By special arrangement we are enabled to present a full and complete ,11st of the laws passed .during that recent period of complete control for the suppression or restraint of trusts, at a time -when the problem ought to have been easier of solution than now, because pretty nearly everything else was put cut of business. Iu connection with this list we also give a complete catalogue of the trusts' "busted" during the only Democratic administration this generation has ex-, perienced, which was elected on a peelflc 'pledge" to remedy the tru-' Til. Here are the lists: 7 t If Democratic, leadership goei Into power again It will make another record just as long and just as Imposing. The element which controlled the Democratic party in 1904 is the same as that which had It in hand In 189S, and its Issue is the same: "The way to kill the trusts is to overthrow protection." WORTH FIGHTING FOR A thing worth fighting to get Is a thing worth fighting to keep. The present prosperity of the American people Is worth as much to them as an accomplished fact, as was the unrealized hope .which led to the great Republican plural- ' itles of the past five Indiana campaigns. 4 : If It was worth while to go to the polls in 1894, 1896, 1898, 1900 and 1902 that prosperity might be attained, doubly " worth while is it' to go' to the ' polls In 1904 that prosperity attalned may be preserved. ,- Decline to be Led by Hill and Sheehan. The "People's Democratic Party," a new political organization In New Jersey, will support Thomas E. Watson, of the Populist party, for president The new party is composed of Bryanites and Hearstites. who bolted the Hill-Sheehan-Parker party. Here Is what the new party's platform says: "We decline to follow the lead of commercial politicians into the camp of Wall street; and refuse to recog nize the Hills, the Sbeehans and the Belmontff as proper exponents , of papnlar righta. " " " ' ' '
