And He Has Not Yet. Tariff reform was never a Roose velt policy. While he was presi dent, the colonel expressed an opin ion upon every subject under the lished a pamphlet quoting a lot of sun except the tariff. And yet it is ! statistics and attempting to show that the tariff on wool must not be meddled with. However, the pam phlet does not supply any informa tion or explanation why the wool trust is paying only six dollars a week to its laborers. Atchison County Mail. This is the latest time saving idea in type-, writing. And it finds its perfect develop ment in the MODEL 10 VISIBLE tariff that touches the American voter most intimately. Henry County Democrat. Could Not See the Reason. These summer days brings to the dwellers in cities longings to be dwellers in tents and those who' cannot go for a season seek com-' pensation in a flight of a day or two i to country-side, lake-side, forest of j grove. "The air is full of pleasant ' sounds, but there is no noise. The i world is full of joyful life, but there is no crowd and no confusion. There is no factory chimney to darken the day with its smoke, no trolley car to split the silence with its shriek and smite the indignant ear with t he clanging of its impudent bell. No lumberman's axe has robbed the forests of their glory of great trees. All is fresh and sweet, calm and clear and bright." Too many merchants look upon advertising as an expense, like book keeping for instance. This is entire ly wrong Advertising can be made the best salesman you have, it can be sent out into the city and fairly pull people into your place of busi ness. Look about and you will see instances of its effect upon business in this city. The largest stores are always the best advertisers for they have found its value they have seen the light of advertising. Han nibal Courier-Post. Send the . Democrat to a distant friend.

There are geese in ev ery state, and their cackle sounds wonderfully like that of the colo nel's '"progressives." Kansas City Journal. How Much For the Pail? You can hardly ask a weaver in the mills of Lawrence, Mass., to "stand pat" who is expected to sup port himself and family of four on less than six dollars a week. Take rent, fuel and clothes out of that, and how much is there left for the full dinner pail? - Atchison County Mail. Bull Moosers Find It Out. The Bull Moose wants the trusts regulated by a commission similar to the interstate commerce com mission. It took the latter twenty- five years to discover that the ex press companies have been outrag eously overcharging patrons, and it would probably not have yet dis covered the fact if both political parties had not declared for parcels post. - Howell County Gazette.

Spacing for the writing point on each line, back spacing, tabulating; all are performed from the keyboard. The hands of the operator never touch the carriage except to insert the paper and space for a new line. To watch a SMITH PREMIER operator at work is to get a convincing idea of the value of these time and labor saving features. . Smith Premier Department Remington Typewriter Company "Incorporated. 821 Pine Street, St. Louis, Mo." Seed Bed for Wheat. The wheat crop of one year is scarcely out of the way before the prospect for the next crop is taken into consideration. Immediately after harvest, in the winter wheat belt, comes the preparation of the seed bed for the crop. Getting the ground in shape is really the first step and one of the most important steps, likewise. It really may be said to be half the battle. Along in the winter, when the ground is dry and the weather is windy, we are apt to think of our wheat and to wish for a heavy fall of snow. When the snow does ' come the newspapers hail it as a : "million dollar snow," and those i who are over enthusiastic say a ! great wheat crop "is now assured." ! It takes more than one snow to i make a wheat crop, though, just as it takes more than one robin to ! make a spring. What is just as im- portant as plenty of snow during i the winter is the preparation of the j seed bed before winter comes and j even the sesd is sown. As we have I said, the seed bed well prepared is half the battle won right then and j there. It must be said to the dis i credit of some wheat growers that ! they attempt such an acreage that ! they cannot treat any of their . acreage right. Such wheat growers are more largely depending upon . favorable weather to raise a crop of wheat for them than anyone else iThey depend, in fact, upon the : weather doing much that they could : and really should !do themselves at I the time of getting the seed bed ' ready. It may be said that the time for making half of next year's crop of wheat is right now. If the job is j done right, wheat will go into win i ter quarters in good shape, but if ; it is done almost any old way. just i to get over the acreage in some way I the prospect will show it when cool j weather comes. The root growth i will be too small to withstand any ! grief, there will be almost no top j growth at all. and unless favorable , winter weather does come early j and stay late, the show for wheat is ! one of ten bushels to the acre, rath er than one of twenty or thirty and possibly some of the latest seeding will hardly be worth harvesting. The time for half making the next crop of wheat is between now and seeding time. -Farmer and Stock-maa As Boyd Dudley Seen It. Col. Boyd Dudley returned home from his eastern trip on last Friday He was at Lowell, Lawrence and other manufacturing centers in the East and says labor conditions there are very deplorable. The employers are mostly foreigners shipped to this country under contract, the men receiving a wage of $7.00 a week and the women $4.00. This is the labor for whom we pay a high tariff to "protect." Gallatin Democrat. Will Have No Trust to Aid Every dollar contributed to the state and national campaign fund will be appreciated for the Demo cratic campaign is going to be fi nanced without the aid of the cor porations or trusts. Governor Wil son has already received checks, money orders and dollar bills to the amount of $63 000 ai.d the money letters keep coming Nearly all the checks and money orders are made payable to the governor himself.--Albany Ledger. Now Speak Up, Mr. Farmer, Pray. Mr. Fanner, what do you get out of the tariff of 23 cents per bushel on wheat? No wheat is im ported, but millions of bushels are exported. Not long ago wheat was above $1.00 per bushel, but that was after it was out of the hands of faimers. Now it is in the hands the farmers and they are getting eighty cents for it. How are you benefitted by the 23 cents per bush el tariff. Speak up and tell us, Worth County Times. It is said that a Monroe City boy wrote to the manufacturers of a cer tain brand of cigarettes that he had smoked 10,000 of their goods and reauested that they send him a premium. It is further said that they advised him to smoke 10,000 more and they would send him a coffin.
