National Monthly: The people nre determined to have their own way. Thin invin cible resolve of l he people t o work out their own salvation bv mHh- ,ods clnwn by theinselyes in the fact that include? nil other civic facts of the time. It is theuni form key that unlocks the door of every situation, it is the plum met that every political pilot: must use, who honestly w ishes I to fathom the minds of his fellow men and guide the chip of party aright. It is the magnetic nee dle that must be pivoted beneath the compass glass of every politi cal organization that wants to know which way is north. It is n truth whose forms of ex- predion are many because its scope is wide us the nation of nine ty.million people. Direct pri maries, direct ( lection of senators the safe-guarding of elections by publicity, limitation of campaign expenses, with its elimination of unfair advantages of the wealthy candidate, or the candidate by rich and powerful interests over the poor candidate, are all conspicuous exmnples.of the de termination of the people to as sert the sovereignty reposed in them by the constitution. The central principle underlying all these phases of a universal and world wide movement, is trans fer of government, and of party organization, which is the ma terial out of which govornmeut is made, from the hands of many. It is a reclamation, a reaffirma tion, a recovery and putting iu practice ol the democracy on which all American institutions are founded. Its object is to en able thu people to act for them- selves in all matters wherein im mediate notion by them is possi ble. And where it is not possi ble to net directly, then to ;;ecnre gennino representation of the ripnple instead of the oligarchy of machines. The favorite plea of those who are hostile to the people re serving to themselves the rights inherent in them, is tlmt such prpulir control means ilisrun- tion of the party organization On the contrary, it means a stronger party orgn-'izition be cause being composed of thepeo pie, denial of the organization would be repudiation of its mem bers by themselves, a thing im possible. Take for example, the direct primary. It is no more a novelty, having long bem estab lished in ninny States. In all the history ol the direct primary never has partv cohcesion ordis- cipliue been disrupted by ir. Whatever discomfiture of per sonal ambition of the greed of individuals for power. Tarty regularity, and pat ty consisten cy, have been maintained and strengthend. Party effectiveness has been uniformly increased bv transference ol the nieana of par ty direction to the people. So long as parties exist, there must be , leadership and dinciplme Rule of the party by the people is the only source from which genu ine leadership can be involved. Self-discipline to which a self re specting party will submit. The people's control ol party tactics ts the cornerstone ol pub lie onfii!ence in party methods, men and metnods. e nre rap idly getting past the stage, v hed if a party committtee meets, if a a party convention assembles, it will be assumed in the popular mind that such committee of conventions isgoing to do what any man, or any groupe of meu tells it to do. The era of direct action of leadership that is re sponsible because it is responsive and repn sentavie because it re spects the will of the people them- A-fl. Wbj f on Mut I'm Lrst Sugar. Monroe Jouriml: Have vou been buving lesssug- ar of late than fot uioily? It j'ou nre umor.g the great muss of eopli! who are pinched when the price ! necessities are put up you have. Have you couid-red why you were compelled to cur tuil vour fUgar account? Heie is what the Baltimore Sun say about it. 'The present high price of su car emphasizes the fact that the tariff is uiust burdensome t; the working people ol the country. In the most unpretentious homes where there is less variety of food the need of sugar is great and the consumption of sugar is greatest. "The tariff tax adds nearly 2 cents a pound on the price of su gar. That is a tax upon the people of 140,000,000 per an num. Of this tax about $."0, 000,000 goes to the sugar trust aid domestic sugar growers. It cannot be denied that this is too heavy a tax to put upon one of the prime necessities of life. It is a burdeu upon labor, which labor can hardly bear, aud there should be relief. "It Is claimed that the recent great advance in the price of su- gurisdue ton shortage in the European beet crop and the cane crop of Cuba. If that is true, then there ix nil the more reuson why there should bo relief from taxation. II the $GO,000,OUU that tho government receives from tho sugar tax is needed, then something else should be found to produce the revenue so that the tax on amendment to the federal constitution. If that amendment were now in force it would bo an enay matter to take tho lax from the people who use sugar and put it iinou those who are more able to bear it. In no aspect of the case'is congreso jus tified in taxing the peoplu frllO, 000,000 a .year in order to get $50,000,000 for t he government. 'But it will be said that to put sugar on tho free list would in jure the refining business. Tl'is argument is based on the idea that the refining business is hurt by cheaper sugar. Hut with cheap sugar there would grow up inde pendent refineries which would employ far more people than the refineries employ. That nas been the result in England, and would bo the result here. Is the World Growing Better? Many things pfove that it is. The way thousands are trying to help other" ;s proof. Among them is Mrs. W. W. Gould, of Pittsfield, N. U. Finding good health by ta king Electric Bitters, she now ad vises other sufferers, everywhere, to take them. "For years 1 suffer ed with stomach and kidney Irou. ble. she writes. "Every medicine I used failed" till I took Electric Bitters. But this great remedy help ed me wonderfully." They'll help any woman. They're the best tonic and finest kidney and liver remedy that's made. Try them. You'll see. 50c. at all druggists. She Then you never told any other girl that you loved her? He No, indeed; the others havegot it in writing Puck. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C ASTORIA selves or not at nil, is at hand The stigma will be removed from party mechanism because the cogs, wheels nnd levers of the mechanism, without which no party can be run, will be com posed of the people. The people are bound to have their own j way and they nre getting it. "I Lost Control." L "1 lot control." With these words on hU bps, Eugene Ely. the brilliant young aviator died in Macon as u result of a horrible plunge ol bis ma chine while giying un exhibition at the State fair only a few days ago. There m unutterable path os iu this comment as particular ly applied to this tragedy that cost the life of one ol the new science's bravest and most suc cessful defenders. But applied more broadly to the walks of life in which are occurring mishaps and mistakes every day. its path etic meaning is all tho more amplified. A tremendous number of Ttra- gedies are being witnessed about us every day because of lost con trol. In the greatest of all the sciences, the science of building up a character in which are com pounded all t he adorable virtues that are attributes of real great ness, losing control is the ex planation of the rent structures which we see on every side. And in t he greatest ol all the business, the business of adjusting life to the harmonious laws of righ- teousties-s losing control tells the story of final vitiation and ulti mate'release on the steering-wheel of destiny. These are times peculiar for the treachery -of temptation. Evil appears in clothing that allures and attracts nnd enchains as sel doin before. The air is "full of holes" indeed. Wo are guiding our machines into currents that promise to bear us on with ease and safety and then dip us in death. Deceit and fraud are be ing made more possible in buni tieso and in life despite tho per fection of organization and the highly concentrated effort in ev ery line of activity to persuade u to honesty.

Averts Awful Tragedy. Timely advice given Mrs. C. Wil loujjhby, of Morengo, . Wis., pre vented a dreadful tragedy and sav ed two lives. Doctors had said her frightful cough was a "consump tion" cough and could do little to help her. After many remedies had failed, her aunt urged her to take Dr. King's New Discovery. 'I have been using it for some time," she wrote, "and the awful cough has almost gone. It also saved my little boy when taken with a severe bronchial trouble."

Adams, 522 No. Kansas Ave Columbus, Kansas, writes: "For a number of years my children haye been subjet to coughs and colds. I uaed Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and found that it cured their eouffhs and colds, so 1 keep it in the house all the time Refuse substitutes. Sold by all deplers Oar Public Schools- Koxhoro Conner: Our short article 011 the book queatiou seemed to strike a re sponsive chord, fur we have had quite 11 number to come and tel1 us we were on tho right track and have received several letters along the same line. It is amazing, when vou think about it how the masses have sat still aud allowed our public schools to be run. Just think about It The Legisature ap propriates six hundred thousand dollars for the benefltof the gen- t ry to be used by her pets, the diversity, A. &M. College, State Normal College; and a few public schools while for the benefit of the children of the woods." as one of our papers expresses it, the ningnificieut sum of two hun dred aud twenty five thousand dollars just a little more than one third for the masses. It shows what lobbying" will do; when the lobbyists under stand their business, and no one will dispute the ability of the lobbyists in this instance. Brother Archibald Johnson, editor ol Chairty and Children, one of the beet friends the poor childreu ever had ,in an able edi torial says: We made the pre diction that not withstanding the largely increased revenue that will conn? into the treasure by reason of the commission ap pointed by the last iegialatuo to raise the value of property the public schools are not likely to gefcacopperf com t he Legislature. But we brlive he ia wrong, for the masses, who ha ve the power iu their hands, are going to as sert this power and see that those children who are dependent up on the public schools for an edu cation are recognized by our law makers. Yes, for the timo is close at hand when our Legisla tive ha'ds are going to be full ol hensible, thinking business men aud many of these men from the farms, who will not be niggardly with our Uuiverisity and Collegia but will h;t this liberaltity ex tend to the public school cliid dren also. "You can fool some of the peo- tie all of the time, and all of the people some of th" time, but you can't lool all tho people all of the time" and now soon we will a wake to the fact that all ol us have been looled about loug enough ill this matter. The rem edy is to send such men as Arch Johnsou to make laws lor us. And with a majority of this kind the poor boy and girl wid come into their own . James L'. Dashiman.

I'ie Doctrine f OeoncracT. l.i an address at a Democratic banquet at Si. Caul ex-Govemor Joseph W. Colk, of Missouri, de fined his idea of democracy iu the fallowing language: Democracy is a religion: tho religion ol brotherhood among mm nnd of equal rights to all. It is a religion that would demand more ol the Golden Ibilo aud less ol the rule of gold ia gov eminent aud iu oui daily lives. It would not array class ugainst class, but would protect the rights of all by having each re spect the rights of the other. It would not attack wealth honest ly acquired, but would wage un ending war ugainst the privileges that produce tainted riches on one side, and uudeserved pover ty on the other side. It would protect property rights, but would recognize the fact that property rights are best protec-, ted bv preserving inviolate t n e pubiie rights. U wonld not com bat men but the evil men do. It would seek as a remedy for exist ing evils, not less government for the people, but more govern ment by 1 ho people. It would blace conscience ubove cunning, and the public good above pri vate greed. It wou'd not offer a man un advantage in the shape of a subsidy, or bounty of pro tective tariff, enabehng him to make money at tho expeno of his fellow men, but it would as sure him that it would give no one else such a special privilege ovirhim. It would guarantee to all an equal opportunity to live and labor and enjoy the gams of honest toil, 'This is democracy as I under staud it."
