railroads and rule by the people
through the initiative and referen-
dum are the refuge of the people
frorr^ the exactions of the money
power. The Peoples party favors
these. The Democratic and Repub-
can parties oppose them. Let every
body who favors these measures
proclaim aloud that he is a Popu-
list and thus unite the strength of
reformers.—Mo. World.
Experience is a dear school but
fools will learn in no other." This
is an old adage and time has veri-
fied its truth. What is the use of tel-
ling the people what was said by
Washington Jefferson, Jackson, and
Lincoln? Why repeat to them all
the lessons of history and try to im-
press them with the vital truth that
eternal vigilance is the price of lib-
erty i* None at all! "To make men
heed first make them bleed." This
is another ancient maxim and the
American people as a mass must
suffer more than }hey have done yet
before relief will come.—Southern
Mercury.
Every law which is oppressive
and detrimental to the masses of
the people and giving special privi-
leges to the classes which is on the
statue books both of State and Na-
tion has been placed there without
a fair and free discussion by the
people, have been placed there by
deceit treachery and fraud. The
very men enacting the law being
pledged to their constituents against
it. This is true of every robber law
on money since the destruction of
the greenback to the enthronement
of gold. How much longer are the
people common working people wil-
ling to trust the tricky, treacherous
politicians of the two old parties?
Have they not had about enough of
hard ti tries and poverty, brought on
them by corrupt politicians?—Her-
ald Dalton, Ga.
All over the land today men and
women are hoping and praying that
the terrible blight of drought will
not be visited upon this country.
The anxiety is not confined to the
farmer for men in all avocations of
life are asking the question. "What
shall the harvest be?" All the ma-
terial interests of the country are
being affected even by the threat of
crop failure. This should serve to
open the eyes of those who have
been blind to the fact that the wel-
fare of the general public depends
largely upon the welfare of the far-
mer. "Burn down your cities and
leave our farms and your cities will
spring up again as if by magic; but
destroy our farms and the grass will
grow in the streets of every city
in the country."—Commoner.
The Shawnee Herald official or-
gan of the "Democrat Jefferson
Club" in this territory takes the fol-
lowing kind of a fall out of the
Chandler Publicist a fusion news-
paper that wants the Herald to bear
in mind that the fusionists are still
the populist party in the territory
and must be recognized as such:
The Chandler Publicist takes the
Herald to task for its assumption! MEN AND THINGS-
that John Allan is a representative (By w. s. Morgan.)
of the pop. party in Oklahoma. By We have all heard the story of
way of explanation we are ready to man who was to lazy to work and
not know "just his neighbors finally held a consul-
populist party in this ter-1 tation and decided to bury alive,
ritory is but John claims to be it, while they were on they to the

that the fusionists all claimed to be
Bryan democrats and Kansas City
platform democrats. If that is true
John certainly succeeds to the trade
mark the election device the initia-
tive and referndum an other strict-
ly party assets. The fusion populists
are either safe and sound within the
democratic party's fold in this terri-
tory or they are political claim
jumpers who in the end will be pun-
ished and be made to acknowledge
their subjection to the mid-road
leaders. There is'nt room any more
under the democratic tent for a two
or three ringed circus. In the next
fight the men who are not with the
democratic party and of it are a-
gainst it and the democratic candi-
date for congress that begins his
campaign by angling for a fusion
endorsement will soon find himself
shivering in the shadows of the po-
litical morgue.
The above Herald editorial is
right to the point. The fusion pops
in this territory are either democrats
or political free booters.

on being informed as to what they
were doing pleaded to give him an-
other chance promising to give th e
man a grist of corn out of his own
crib. Lifting up the lid of the cof-
fin the lazy man asked: is it shelled?
"no," answered the neighbor. "Let
the procession move on then," said
the lazy man, as he lay back in his
coffin. This story reminds me of
the position of the Democratic par-
ty except the Democrats won't ac-
cept anything that comes from the
Republicans' shelled or not. Demo-
cracy has come to mean negativism
—against whatever the Republicans
are for.
"Let the procession move on.
We prefer to be buried. We're "fer-
nist" the Republicans no matter
which side of the proposition they
are on." That is Democracy's
creed. It breeds distrust. It causes
strife within the ranks. Goodness
knows there is plenty to do. There
is much that needs doing. There are
questions that have a ready response
from the public heart. But Demo-
cracy has got into a rut. It appeals
to the passions of men instead of to
their intelligence. It opposes. "I
