THE DEMOCRAT JO H. SHlhLDS, fcdiliir Evry Saturday by DEMOCRAT PUBLISHING CO Office No 414 East Douglas ave Whatever the final outcome ol turill contest that has been in progress less on his beef cattle if hides were put on the free list? If any are so simple as not to know that the trusts that control all these products are the sole beneficiaries of ti tarill, such are to be pitied rather than censured for their stupidity, ALCOHOL AND CHILDREN. Dr. T. Alexander MacN'Icholl of New York has been studying the relation of alcohol to child life.
He has considered 30,000 cases, which certainly ought to ho enough to give weight to his conclusions. The ages of these children have ranged from Infancy to 19 years. Forty-eight per cent of them were found to drink some form of alcoholic beverage, either occasionally or at regular Intervals. Thirty-seven per cent drink one c1ebb of beer a week to five glasses of beer a day. Twenty-one per cent drink wine or spirits.
In some groups the percentage ofoccasfonal and regular drinkers The Holmes a MnKEROQM SALE IS NOW IN PROGRESS Now is the time to make every counttwo dollars will do about three dollars worth of buying during this sale.

The head of the creamery trust is located inTopeka, which may uccount for the attitude ol the T. d's.

MacNlcholl's Investigation, considered solely In its relation to children, does not meet the arguments, including the financial argument, advanced by tho defenders of the drink habit, we are willing to concede thrt the chances of meeting them are slim.

Conse-quently, what looks like a national scandal is really a credit to the under-lying morality of the American people. To be so written about by a returned visitor Is so unusual that this writer the tariff question as it affects the consumers of the country. The man who produces the raw material is more entitled to protection than the artisan and skilled laborer who reduces the raw material into the finished product for consumption; but neither of them require it in this country which affords the best market for both of any other in the world. This thrilling and inspiring Clarion note beats -the best snap shot perspective of the situation portrayed: "No other place in the United States is in a more prosperous condition than the community surrounding Mt. Hope.
We have just finished harvesting the largest wheat crop in the history ol the country and with the present prospect for corn looking brighter daily, no one has any reason to wonder where their next meal is coming from. With a wheat crop averaging from twenty-five to forty fire bushels per acre and selling at $1.00 per bushel, don't you think, Mr. homeseeker, that Mt. Hope and Grcely township is the exact place to invest? We have here all the facilities to make life worth living. Good public and high schools, church organizations, plenty ol places of amusem*nt and above all, a class of people who will always be found ready to welcome strangers to our gates.
TARIFF OBJECT LESSON The Kansas Farmers Star at Wichita is advocating a tariff on broom corn for the "protection" of the grower. This is surely pressing the limit, as the poor grower has about all the load he can carry now with the weight of the "broom corn trust" on his shoulders. With foreign brush shut out by a tarill wall, the price of the- home product would be absolutely in the trusts control. Sterling Farm Journal. The Farm Journal is correct in the foregoing statement of fact, except in the tense of its conclusion: the broom corn trust is in absolute control of the home product thru control of the market.
A tarill on the biush would add to the profits of the trust hy so much, but would not benefit the producer a penny a ton. Look at the tariff on wheat! Does anybody imagine that it adds a cent a bushel to the price the wheat grower receives; or that the price of Kansas wheat would be a farthing less if the 23 cents a bushel tariff, that has been in the law for twenty-five years or more, were removed and wheat put on the free list? Or that the Kansas cattle raiser would get a penny a head If you use Harness it will pay you. to get our prices. Call and see the new Steel Hameless Collar GUARANTEED not to make Sore Shoulders.
