The public commentator and support OF
THE REPUBLICAN were never more general

The cheapening OF some OF the elements in

vicious. I, is keenly alive to the new prob
lens which attend the progress of civiliza

corporate combinations of capital in i'm
proving social conditions. But it also ap-
preciates that the greatest danger to indi-
vidual freedom and democratic government
lies in the unrestricted operations of aggrC-
gated wealth. 1t conceives one of its chief
missions as a public newspaper to be the
advocacy OF the rights OF the plain people.
THE REPUBLICAN reports the news of Yves

VISIT.

Burglars made their regular visits last
week. Plumb & Bartram's store and

Everything appears 10 depend upon
the conclusions that are reached by

That this does not necessarily imply
any great delay in treating the question
with the mere purpose To accomplish
something mere than has yet been the

that the President expects that MI.
