Court Rule "Doctored" Liquon Shall be Branded "Imitation." Whisky and other liquors must have age and natural color or be la beled "imitation," is the decision of Judge Humphrey in the United States District Court at Springfield, 111., in the case of Wollner & Co., distillers, of Peoria who asked a temporary injunction restraining the Federal authorities from com pelling a distinction in labels on whisky a9 to whether it is pure or ,'iraitation." The Court upholds the regulation of May 5, 1008, un der which the order for labels on "imitation" goods Is mad. The decision will affect distillers and rectifiers all over the country and has been eagerly awaited by manufacturers and shippers of liq uor. The United States attorney says rectifiers have been making the "imitation" product and plac ing the same upon the market as the genuine whisky and brandy. IN THE COUNTY Surplus $150,000. E R H : Myron I. Low, Vlee President. Frank Ikeler, Cashier, MR. Mr HENRY INVITED TO SPEAK That the ability and (efficiency of our Representative 111 Congress, Hon. John G. McIIenrv. is hisrhlv appreciated by the leaders of his party, is revealed in a request of tue lJemorrnt 10 I .ntinn.il rYmimiftoa fthat betake the stutnpor the tick et in rennsvivania and other States "How much of your valuable time can you donate for the good of our cause," writes Hon. John II. At wood, Chairman of the Speaker's Bureau, of the National Committee, "and at what dates and in what particular States you will prefer to be assigned." This is a merited recognition of the ability and eloquence of Repre sentative McHenry. It shows that his work in Congress has command ed National attention, a fact which is a just reason for everv citizen of the District to feel proud. That a community is measured by the char acter of its representatives is pro verbial and Mr. McIIenry's col leagues in Congress must have had a flattering opinion of the constitu ents of John G. McHenry if this testimonial of the estimate of his work represents the standard with which they measured him. We reeret. somewhat. 10 learn that Mr. McHenry felt constrained to decline Mr. Atwood's invitation to take the stump throughout the country, for we feel that he would have accomplished much good for the cause. His very able speech on the question of government guaran ty of deposits delivered at Bedford Springs, last week, marks him as among the leaders of thought as well as the most cogent of reason- ers. But he feels that all his timp ought to be given to this district and all his efforts to his colleagues within the counties he represents. WHO ARE PROTECTED? The steel industry is perhaps the most heavily protected and certain ly has produced the largest group of millionaires of any of the privi leged group. Here the protection to American labor fallacy has been most industriously preached to the laborine class. Incidents like that disaster at Homestead ought, how ever, to show the American laborer the fraud that is being practiced on him. The casualty list published con. tains names the majority of which, as in all such butcher's bill, are ob viously foreign. The probability is mat most ot these null workers are aliens, not even expecting to be naturalized, who have brought their foreign cheaper methods of living here and who work for less than an American can or will or should work for. The crowds around these mill gates alter these horrors seek ing tidincs of friends, are alwavs overwhelmingly u n-A raerican, They cannot even speak our tongue. Ihey are preferred for obvious reasons in these great industries. They are easier handled, and less fuss is made if some get hurt, tnougti their lower plane of intelli gence renders them more liab'.e to injury. The tariff protects the American manufacturer, but it doesn't protect the American labor er from the "pauper" competition of Europe. If an American wants to see how protection is protecting him let him see who are being em ployed in these mills, and how they live and where. Let him try now to get a job at any of them and see how the foreigner, willing to live meanly and be treated worse, is preferred to him. Let him investi gate the system whereby this cheap foreign labor mvsteriouslv. and in spite of laws, responds to demand in these protected Industries. Then he will see whom protection is pro tecting, and why the heads of ths industries contributes so much to the Republican campaign funds. Lock flaxen Democrat. Start ta sf Kind You Haw Alwiyi neat "LET THE PEOPLE RULE" APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS lor Bryan and Kern Campaign Fund, from the Democratic National Committee. To Geo. K. Khvell. Editor of the Columbian. There are no secrets in this Cam paign. Strictly practicing what he preaches, Mr. B ryan will not win victory with tainted money paying the election exjx-nses. Not a dollar is to be accepted which requires auy promise, either express or implied, other than for HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOV ERNMENT. Mr. Jiryan will enter the White House absolutely free from entang ling alliances, free to serve all class es of honest citizens alike, or he, will not enter at all. Hence the course is plain. The campaign of Bryan and Kern must be conducted by the people. The people must pav the ncccssa ry campaign expenses if they want public servants who will serve their interests. Special interests and favored class es, having secured "SWOLLEN FORTUNES" bv purchasing fa vors in the past with MILLIONS CONTRIBUTED TO CONTROL ELECTIONS, stand ready to give MILLIONS MORE FOR CON TINUED FAVORS. But that class never gives a dollar unless it buys a pledge. Mr. Bryan says from March 4th, 1909. "LET THE PEOPLE RULE." This can come only if the people pay their own bills, and control thtir own elections. "BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS 'BEARING GIFTS.'" That policy of the favored few buying a mortgage on the Govern ment meant that the Candidate for President knew a few people only 111 an entire State Bryan says, "We will take the cause of PEOPLE'S RULE home to the people and will know people in every county. ou can serve the graud cause of popular government. our paper reaches the fireside of the patriot who loves his country for his country s GOOD; as distin guished from the greedy possessor of swollen fortunes who loves his country only for his country's GOODS.

A fine new line of Wedding in vitatlons just received at this office- Can't Stir Up Q. 0. P. Westerner Brings Alarming Report to Hitchcock. A note of warning against the danger of apathy and overconfi dence was sounded from Republi can national headquarters in New York last week. National Chair man Hitchcock had conferences there with J. Medill McCormick, of Chicago, and invited Mr. McCor mick to give his views of the situa tion in the Middle West to the newspaper men. "After the.Detivcr convention," Mr. McCormick said, "it was gen erally believed that it was all over, that Bryan had no possible chance and that Taft's election was a fore gone conclusion. The result was that Republicans and business men in the Middle West did not think it was necessary to pay very much attention to the campaign, and their overconfidenee led to apathy. "The situation today is one that will call for much work to make the Central mid Western States safe for the Republican national ticket. The Democrat have been conduct ing a gumshoe campaign in the Miedle West. They have managed it very ably and they are evidently working harmoniously together." Bryan in Moving Pictures. To be Combined With Phonoqraphed Speech es by National Committee. Another feature, beside the talk ing machine with records of the speeches of candidates, has been added to the novelties of the Presi dential campaign by the Democratic National Committee, which has an nounced that moving pictures of William J. Brvan in Chicago. on Labor day would be thrown upon canvasses at political meetings all over the country. When the pic tures show Bryan speaking the can didate's voice will be heard from the phonographic record of the ad dress. National Chairman Mack and heads of the committee bureaus witnessed a reproduction of the Bryan Labor day scenes. The pic tures show the Nebraskan's arrival at the station and his reception by the crowd at the hotel. Later he is disclosed reviewing the big labor parade and acknowledging the cheers of the marchers, after which he is shown making a speech to the laboring men assembled around the reviewing point of the parade. Mission of the Public Library. It is our business in this country to get at the best methods to gov ern ourselves. How many of our best people have paused to reflect on what that means, and on all it means? It means that now we have about 80,000,000 of sovereigns. It was all ver,y well when we were a little confederation of homogeneous stock stretching along the Atlantic sea-board. We had our dissensions then, but our population was per meated with the principles of our government. In one hundred years we have swelled from a handful to 80,000,000, and a large part of them made up of additions from the na tions of the earth, aud not the self governing nations. And the prob lem is to educate the children of these, as well as our own children. in the principles of that government of which they are an essential and vital part. This is the first problem, and if it is not attended to, our govern ment will crumble away aud decay from neglect. We do not want denizens in this state and this na tion, we want citizens. We do not want ward politics, but we do want government as our forefathers un derstood it. And it is the duty of every right-minded citizen to work unfalteringly for this end. The question is one of expediency. We want citizens. And the pub ic school and the public library are the places where citizens are made. Therefore we must labor for and support these institutions first and foremost. To a very great extent, the librarian is the custodian of public morals and the moulder of public men. The librarian must, and he usu ally- does, feel his responsibility. The word "responsibility" should be given equal weight with the word "liberty" and emblazoned be side it, and it is these two things that the public librarian through his knowledge of good literature must impress upon our coming gen erations "liberty and responsibili ty."
