Call early at this office and take advantage of this great offer. Manchester Democrat. 'I.** 4S?r'C Postoffick at Corporations in Politics. (From tho Cedvr Baplds Gazette.) Alton IS. Parker is apparently shocked nt the proof of his suspicions that the corporations bought the de feat of VV. J. Bryan. There were others who had the same suspicion, and who mentioned the matter before Judge Parker had called it to the at tention of the public. As the ease is remembered at this time, Presi dent Ingalls o£ the Big Four railway system was the only corporation democrat of prominence who adher ed to the cause of liryan and who publicly declared himself in favor of the election of tho Newbraskan. McCall, Belmont, Morgan, Morton, Bear and others of thoir stripe have been "democrats" for the same rea son that Depew, Rockefeller, Vander bilt, lingers and others have been "republicans." They have not had belief in any principle endorsed by eiiher party. The greatest beliel they have had in any party has at tached to departures from principle. They have not sought laws founded on justice. Their use for law has been in connection with statutes that would allow them to impose on others and to commit moral crimes without encountering the possibility of puuishment. They may have be lieved in laws for the punishment of lior.ie thieves and incendiaries who burn grain stacks, because they were not engaged in either line of busi ness. They do not believe in any law that makes it as much of a crime to steal a million dollars as it is to steal fifty cents. They would never support for olRce any man who holds that it is as great a wrong to steal all the money of the widow, or phan or other investor, as it is for the widow or orphan to steal a loaf of bread from the well filled shelf of a bakery. That is not their style of justice. Their division between republicans and democrats was arranged among themselves for the purpose of con trolling both parties and nntil Bryan and Roosevelt came upon the scene their scheme worked very well. They elected Cleveland as much as they elected any president. Their money paid for his election, and he saw to it that the money of the people -re imbursed them for the temporary lunii. They created EckleB, and paid the expenses of "the gold stand ard" democratic campaign of Palmer and Buckner. They nominated 'his latter ticket, but they took qo chmce by voting for it. JThey in vented tho "honor among nations" hurrah, and they put forward the •pilhets ofc^ icpu4i«tor, anarchist, eoppenrhead and others, -applying hem. to men with whom they are un fit to associate. As a matter of fact, liese frenzied financiers are not fit lo do the most menial work around t!ie farm of William J. Bryan, so ong as men can be hired for the liecliurge of the duties. Tho truth monies out in time, and as these enst ru financiers diminish in the public ye it is natural that tho men they pposed should increase. Subsidy vs Equality. lyA 11. McCuok, Soc'y Iowa l)emocr-tlc Clubs. Like the "tainted money" contro versy, Mr. Carnegie's gift of §10, MU.lKJO in steel trust bonds as unci for college professors who have unlived their days of usefulness, is exciting much adverse criticism and ilso some that is favorable. It is unnecessary for the present to question Mr. Carnegie's motives hut what of the influence and ulti nat-i consequence of these annuities? Next to Rockefeller, Mr. Carnegie ^tho greatest beneficiary of the trust system. There is already too much trust and corporation Jomina tion in tho educational work of our si vjIlexes With an equitable industrial sys tem there would be no Rockefellers and Carnegies who, like parasites, fatten at the expense of less fortu nate members of society. Better than this system of unequal distribution which breeds financial princes and paupers, would be the strict enforcement of tho cardinal principal of Democracy—"Equal rights to all, special privileges to none." This, while preventing the accumulation of colossal fortunes by our "captoins of industry," would give to the private in tho ranks of the industrial armv a just propor tion of his production. Between socialism and monopoly there is a happy mean, and when is reached all will be rewarded in proportion to what they do for so ciety. When fair play and equality become universal, the problems of "tainted money," pensions and mo nopolistic charity will disappear, Democracy's great mission to the world is to abolish subsidies and secure equality of opportunity for all. —Topeka Journal: Long skirts are to be fashionable the comin winter. Think what a help this wi bo to the sidewalk sweepers! mm WO WO MRS. WILLA A. LEONARD. lie Clever Counterfeit Expert of the Treaaurr Department. Mrs. Wllla A. I^coimrd has been em ployed In the United States treasury department for more than forty years. Mrs. Leonard Is au expert In paper money and holds a very responsible position. Tho .story of Mrs. Leonard's connection with the treasury depart ment and of her valuable work there best told in her own interesting words. In gracious nnuii.cr, iu reply a request for the information, she aid: I entered the government service in 1SG4. I had my appointment seut to me by General I-\ E. Spinner, the then treasurer of the United States, who hose me simply on account of my fechoolma'am' certificates, which were rather good. I nt once went to work In his bureau and have remained there ever since. To our division must come Anally II the paper money issued by the gov rnment, from the three cent piece of MBS. WILLA A. LEONARD, fractional currency to the $10,000 gold -ertiticate, and when it comes It is lia ble to appear in all stages of smut de facement and mutilation. Gnawed by mice, eateu by grasshoppers, chewed by cows, pigs or dogs, falling into dust through having been buried for safe keeping, soaked in oil or acids, taken from cadavers found in the woods—all has to pass though our hands aud be prepared for destruction before the treasurer will pay its value. "Having a good mathematical brain, am, nuturally, a rapid and correct worker, but it is absurd to say that I am tk&f|istest -counter. That, tbe fast est counting, is'done in the bureau o£ eugravlng and printing, where they ike a hundred sheets or notes, set them up on end, give them a twist of the wrist and, presto, have counted them by fives before you have counted twenty. We, 011 the other haud, have to look out for counterfeits, mutilated and altered notes have to mend the torn, smooth the crumpled, put backs 011'the frail and get all in proper con dition for their course to the macerat ing machine, where they are ground into pulp and then sold, to be used for the making of some kinds of coarse paper. The most and universities, and the influence of prospective annuities will hardly increase the professors' opposition lo these industrial mons ters. Rather may we not expect them to invent new excuses and apol ogies for monopoly's greed and avarice. The argument is made that teacli ors are underpaid, and that conse quently the pension' is deserved Teachers are underpaid, but the remedy should bo an increase of salary rather than a pension—at least until the aged common laborer is provided for in some way and then the government, aDd not in dividuals who have accumulated millions as a Tesult of unjust laws, should grant the pensions. .-•S I have ever counted in a day was $12,030,000, In denominations of from $1 to $10,000 notes. But my real specialty Is the detection of coun terfeits. Whenever a counter comes across notes concerning which she is In doubt she brings or sends thein to me for decision. If I find thcui all right 1 stamp them with the word 'good' and my initials, which removes all responsibility from the counter to me. If they are spurious 1 declare them 60 aud they are marked and re turned to the senders, to be by them forwarded to the secret service bureau for destruction. I have done this since 1870 and naturally am very much in terested Iu my work." The Bathtub. Among the crosses many housewives have to annoy them is a bathtub of uninviting appearance in a room that otherwise looks fresh and clean. The tarnished surface may refuse to be come bright, 110 matter what cleausing materials are employed. By being your own workman you may at a trifling expense make the tub quite desirable. Procure a small can of common paint of nuy light color desired, a can of enamel paint of the same color and a good sized brush, Cut eight or ten inch pieces of yellow soap Into bits and put it over the fire to dissolve in a couple of quarts of water, says the Chicago Tribune. Fill the bathtub with hot water and throw In a generous handful of powdered borax and the dissolved sonp. When the water becomes cool enough to put the hands In, scrub the surface with a brush, letting the water ruu off as the work is done. Again partly fill the tub with hot water and scrub with the brush and sand soap to make sure that all greasy particles have been removed. Then rinse it in clear hot water and thoroughly dry. Cover it with two cpatings of the common paint, letting one thoroughly dry before puttlug on the secoud coat, then give it several coats of the enamel paint. This paint will dry more quick ly than the other and the bath will no longer be an unsightly object. Care must be used not to run hot water into the bath alone until the paint has been hardened. A Queen'* Advice to Wlveit. Aht if we did but accustom ourselves to live with the thought of death more constantly before us. writes Carmen Bylva, queeu of Uoumanla, lu a mag azine. How gentle, how indulgent, It must necessarily make us if on all occasions we reminded ourselves of the ever present danger, of the end that must soouer or later come to all, If we did but reflect that tomorrow the one we love best may be no longer with us, that our eyes seeking him may find his accustomed place va cant, our ears stralu in vain to catch the cchoes of his voice! We should surely be more patient at imaginary aud even at real grievances if we did not lit our daily lives carefully put away from us the thought of tho iu- MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1905. XXXI-NO. evitablo separation that sooner or later must come. But we thluk too little of what we owe to others and too much of Hint which we fancy to be due to ourselves, till we easily arrive at per suading ourselves that we are neglect ed aud slighted and misunderstood and altogether undervalued by our hus bands. I)}eing Garment* at Hone. The garment to be dyed must first of all be absolutely clean. Whether it is silk, wool or cotton it must first of all be washed with soap and rinsed in clear water afterward. The dye must be boiling, aud the goods to be dyed must remain in the boiling liquid for twenty minutes or half an hour. Chif fon takes dye beautifully. So do wool en goods. Silk Is harder to do and sometimes ouly takes in spots. But still b,v seeing that you get the proper dye ior each kind of goods and by fol lowing the instructions implicitly you will often get results far beyond your expectations. One of the points Is to keep the article to be dyed moving the whole time It is in the liquid, and then the color Is sure of reaching every port. Of course a small wooden stick must be used for this purpose to avoid soiling the hands. How to Keep Off Wrinkle*. It is highly important that grime ac cumulated iu the day should be re moved before lying down. Neglect of this rule will cause sallowuess and blackheads. The face should be washed with hot water and soap, bo rinsed in many waters and be dried thoroughly. Next, a really good skin food, quite free from wax, spermaceti aud salted lard and containing little or no glycer in, may be applied. If a liquid, It should be brushed over the parts. If more solid, it should be gently spread. Any massage below the eyes or at the eye corners is sure to make wrin kles. A brush has a marvelous effect ou the softer skiu lines. A Bad Complexion. A bad complexion is oftcu due to malnutrition. Matters will be improved if a glass of either hot or cold water be sipped on waking and an hour be fore each meal. This washes away the mucus from the lining of the stomach and the food is absorbed in conse quence. Plenty of milk and some of the well known prepared foods should be taken. A small quantity of meat will suffice, with plenty of stewed fruit and vegetables. An apple at breakfast will help the good cause. Care of Glove*. 'A lady is known by her shoes and by her gloves." This is a saying that has stood the test of years. Every thing depends ou the way the glove is put on the first time. The glove which is once put on crooked can never be straightened. No one but the woman who is by nature tidy realizes how much longer gloves will last if they rgje carefully removed and cleaned and mended. Gloves should always be pulled out first by the finger tips and wrists and put away in tissue paper. Ltglit Olftoult. I11 mixing biscuit avoid handling the dough as much as possible. Do all the mixing with a spoou and make a little, wetter than the accepted rule. Toss ou floured board and press once and very lightly with the rolling pin and cut out with a glass If this rule Is followed the biscuits will melt In the mouth like suowflnkes. How Children Are Worried. Children are often worried because their mothers are too attentive and continually reprove the Binall ones without reason. A child should be left alone and be allowed to play or amuse Itself in its own way without the con stant direction of a nervous mother. Chiifltitc Dish Cabinet*. Clinfiug dish cabinets arc growing In popularity for the dining room or the bachelor maid's den. They can be had in oak aud mahogany. One cabinet has folding doors, aud the interior Is large enough to hold all the necessaries for spread. A Good Hair Grower. A good and inexpensive hair grower Is made of two ounces of pure castor oil aud sixteen ounces of eau de co logne. If the spirit is of the proper strength the oil is dissolved in it and the solutlou is oily, clean and satisfac tory. 1 Women who go through the world looklug always on the dark side, miss ing the sunshine scattered along their way, taklug no part In the little pleas antries of life, are rarely good to look upon. Salt water is good for the scalp, the eyes, the face, the nostrils, the whole body. Use salt properly aud plentiful ly, and, paradoxical as it may seem, you will remain ever fresh. Paraffin can be used the second time to cover jelly and jam If it is washed clean and boiled before being turned over the fruit again. Tea leaves moistened with vinegar remove the discoloration In glass caus ed by flowers. A Toilet flint. The woman who has wept until her eyelids and her nose are purple, her eyes bloodshot and her face swollen always feels a trifle embarrassed when she has to receive callers or go down to dinner immediately. She frequent ly makes a bad matter worse by wash ing her face lu cold water. If she will, Instead, bathe it gently with rose water for a few minutes and then He down for a few more with a soft rag saturated in rose water over her eyes, she will be prepared to face any com pany. The Lamp. Almost every lamp wants boiling oc casionally when the light burns dimly, and no attention to oil or wick will make any difference. Take the lamp apart, remove the wick and then boll both burner und wick iu hot water lu which hus beeu thrown some washing soda. When every part has been thor oughly cleaned and as thoroughly dried put in the wick, trim It, fill the lamp with oil and the light will be brilliant.
