Thrown From A Buggy
While Paul Lamb and Miss
married by Leslie Edwards, a young couple
coun-
ty, were driving in a buggy
to church Sunday night
the horse became frightened at
something and ran away. Dur-
ing its flight the buggy straddled
a bush and was tilted over on
one side. The young man was
thrown out. The young lady re-
mained in the buggy until the
horse had gone about two hun
dred yards farther, when it ran
into a fence and she was thrown
out. Both of them sustained
bruises and the young man wa<
made quite sick for awhi.e, but
neither was seriously hurt.—Par-

Democratic Victories, And The '
Cost of Living Going Down.
The returns from state Demo- <
cratic landslides had hardly been ,
tabulated when tne great Chica-
go packers gave it out that the I
cost of meat would soon begin to
decline “because of the great
corn crop raised.” We are rath- ,
er inclined to th’nk it v.as be- :
cause of the great crop of Demo- ,
crats that had been raised. The
corn crop was practically assured
some weeks before the election,
but no such bulletin emanated <
then. Besides, this year’s corn i
crop will not become hogs for I
some weeks and months to come. >
Then too. we have had sevi ral
bumper corn crops within the
last few years, but the price of
meats has steadily increased, i
Kansas City and Boston, two i
widely separated points, note a
decline already of from 2 1-2 to
5 cents per pound. The packers
also assign “purely local condi-
tions” as the reason for decline.
We have all along cotended that
the key to high prices was Can-
non, Aldrich and Taft, who
controlled Congress, a condi-
tion as long as it obtained
which gave high price pirates
nothing to fear. But a demo-
ocratic House has made it possi-
ble to lay wide open or render
impossible the long deep-laid
plot of the interests. Cannon
will not reign as speaker and oe
the absolute dictator of legisla-
lation; the Aldrich bills will be
unable to get through the House;
the weak man in the White House
will be in a most unhappy state.
He will have to stand for his par-
ty’s undoing, though he has been
but the tool of stronger men,
Noris that all. Every man, wo-
man and child has during the
high priced era seen the perfidy
of political promises. The im-
pression of what the Republican
party means to the rank and file
lias been indelibly stamped on
the public mind by its infamous
leaders. It will take years to ef-
face this, and the Republican ma-
jorities of recent years will like-
ly not be seen again during this
generation, if ever. This is no
criticism of the Republican vo-
ters who have been burdened
against their will the same as the
rest. But thousands of them
have had their eyes opened to the
faet that the people have not rul-
ed, but politicians, interest-owned
have ground all alike under the
wheels of legislation. Independ-
ence must come to dominate the
voters of this country if the peo
pie are ever to rule- And we be-
lieve the principles of democracy
will yet challenge and win the
voters of the ?<-r. i c. Nor will
the people overlook that between
the principles of a party and
the politician who claims to rep-
resent those principles there is
often a wide ’gulf fixed. The
professional politician will more
«^nd mote become a recoiling
■Figure in American life. He has
i# fooled the people for awhile, but
f he end is eoming in sight.
* There are today ten independent
I voters wfiere there was one two
years ago. The kinks are being
taken out of things, the old ship
of state is shedding its barnacles
and the top heavy machinery is
being thrown out. She will soon

sophistry that has maintained
them will soon be, wo believe,
swept away, and normal condi-1
