The Stats Anzeiger, one Of the most ultra-liquor
papers of Iowa, in recent issue advised the German
voters to support Shaw for governor. The Repub-

vote the Republican ticket because we enacted the
mulctlaw and gave prohibition black eye.' "Church
members, vote for Shaw, the Republican candidate
for Governor, for he is Methodist" And the game
will win. Its success however, will not be very

BACK SAUCE.

The Iowa Republican platform is silent on the

No more silent than the votes of the Christian men
of that state. Whatsoever man-even Christian

There are three strong forces combining fortify
the liquor traffic: The appetite in front of the

A fourth mighty force is the Gordon of law around

CORRUPTION
Is Now Due According to Rule and
Present Indications.

John r. Mclean, when about to op-
crate in Ohio politics, follows wise
rule. All Democrats who know too
much and are not at the time tied up,
are apt to talk too much; they are call
ed in and either attached to the staff
Of his newspaper or otherwise hired to
do certain work.
At the present time Allen o. Myers,
once a regular writer on. the newspa-
per referred to, but for a. vi five years
unconnected with that delectable es-
tablishment, during which time he told
many things that were true, is back
again doing the behest Of John R. Nc
Lean.
Myers is MeLean's confidential man
at the Democratic headquarters in the
city of Columbus. According to Myers,
Mclean believes every man has his
price," a belief evidently founded upon
his cwn connection with Ohio Demo-
cratic politics.
So that whatever McLean's confiden-
tial manager has to say at time when
Mclean is a candidate for United
States senate from Ohio, has not
only its natural piquancy and pictur-
esqueness which cling to all of Myers
mental output, but certain value that
ought not to be lost.
Myers says of the Democratic party
in Ohio:
'It is an unfortunate habit OF the
Ohio Democrats to denounce the cor
rupt practices of the Republicans one
year and proceed to indulge in the
same evils the next"
Last year the Ohio Democmrats "de-
nounced," as they termed it, the alleg-
cd corrupt practices of the Republicans,
The fact that there were no corrupt
practices Of Republicans last year is OF
no avail from the Democratic stand
point. They said there were and "de-
nounced" them and kept nlkdenounc-
ing Them until Senator Foraker show
ed conclusively in speech in the Unit
ed States senate that these Democrats
have been "denouAcing" what did moi
exist. But from the Democratic stand
point there were corrupt practices ant
tsay were denounced" According tt
Myers statement, this>is the year thai
they are to proceed to indulge IN thu
same evils" that Is. in corrupt 2rac
tees.
With Mclean running for the senate
and millionaire mine owner running
for governor by the grace of the sam'
Mclean, and with Myers in charge o
the confidential arrangements at head
quarters. surely the Ohio Democrat
are In hne trim to carry out the Ayer
program.

John Burns, the famous leader Of
British workingmen, when the ques-
tion was asked, Are the workingmen
Of England much interested in the sill
yer question:" he replied
"No; there is nothing in 1t for them.
They do not want any -hange, nor
would your working classes secure any
permanent Improvement by the adop-
tion Of a silver standard. It would only
be temporary expedient for Tempo
rary distress. It would be better for
your congress to let your finances alone
and permit capital and labor and the
value of commodities and the various
kinds of currency adjust themselves
, value to value by natural laws. rather
than attempt to create values by leg
lslation. That is impossible.
"You cannot create anything by an
. act OF congress. The cost of living
and the price of labor will adjust them
selves to the demand and to the abun-
dance or scarcity of the necessaries of
life.
"Your trouble in the states has been
due to the enormous increase Of cAeap
labor and the multiplication Of your
capacity for production. You charge
your financial depression TO the repeal

Of natural causes. together with exees-
, slve immigration. which has brought
obout a surplus of labor, and to the
Improvement of your machinery"
Then you don't take much stock in
the silver agitation?"
"None at ALL Both gold and silver
have been too much exalted. The gold

the worldwide revival of trade, just

Yet. II they should succeed in electing
their legislative ticket, those IL men,
bers will help to make a Democratic

against Mclean In the caucus, their
presence will contribute to the posi-.
bility Of allowing him to capture ma
