Anti Trust League is to arouse
the only power on earth that IS
stronger than the power OF
money in our public life. That
power is the patriotic impulses
of the people. The little finger
of that power, when awakened
is stronger ten thousand times
than the influence of all the bill
lions of the trusts and combines
of the land. The memories OF
the many sacrifices of the faith
ers call us to action. If these
trust combinations are allowed
to go on they can plumber each
of us into poverty. No man
knows how soon the fear OF
hunger for his wife and family
will make him a coward. 1t be-
hooves us to strike while the fire
of liberty yet burns.
The American Antitrust
League is non-partisan. We call
all American freemen to council.
If Democrat, or a Populist, or
a Republican, public man has
shown himself to be a subserv-
lent tool of this great corporate
power, then all the united power
of all the men of the American
Anti Trust League will be used
to crush him and drive him from
public life. We will adopt the
tactics of our enemy until we
have created q Legislature, Judi
cial and Executive power in
sympathy with the public vel
fare. And we call upon every
American citizen who loves his
country and the great principles
of popular government better
than he does his party, to join
us in the work of re-establishing
the equal rights of American
citizenship.

President American nti-Trust

Hon. Geo. Ainslie, National

Hon. Geo. Ainslie, National
Democratic committeeman fol-
Idaho, in a communication to the
Boise Capital says
II cannot conceive how any
true bimetallist who has at heart
the interests of his country would
endanger success at the polls by
q division of our forces. The
past two state elections in Idaho
demonstrated conclusively that
in a union there is strength and
in a division weakness and dan
ger. If the free coinage of silv-
er was right in '96 it is more
than right now and will be in
1900. With four political organ
izations in our state, three which
profess to be ardent and sincere
supporters of bimetallism and
admit that it is the most impor-
tant question before the people,
would it not be the height of
folly for the friends of silver, no
matter to what party they alleg-
lance, to waste their strength by
dividing their forces in the face
of the enemy upon the eve of the
most important National election
ever held in this country ? No
well informed citizen of the state
will deny but that the admins
tration of our state for the past
three years under officials elect
ed by combination friends of
silver in Idaho and representing
the three parties believing in
free silver has been vast i'm
provement over the conduct of
affairs under Republican auspic-
es. | cordially indorse the views
of Mr.. Bryan, that the Demo
Gratis, Silver Republicans and
Populists should cooperate in
1900 and secure victory for the
reform forces"

The question of the proper
solution of the grazing land
problem formed an important
part of the deliberations of the
National Irrigation Congress
held at Missoula, Montana, last
week. The frequent controver-
sizes and fights in different sec
tions in the west have called at
tention to the present overstock-
ing of many western ranges and
the necessity for some radical
change in the administration OF
the public land laws.
The Irrigation Congress very
strongly supported the policy
that the national government
should allow the states and ter
ritories to lease their public
grazing lands, subject to actual
settlement by home-builders, the
title, however, to remain in the
federal government. AT a small
annual rental of from two to five
cents per acre for these lands,
the states would secure a large
annual revenue which could be
devoted to the gradual develop
ment of irrigations works. This
proposal to lease the public
lands is not a new and untried
scheme. Large areas of west
ern lands are now being satisfac-
torily leased to stockmen, and
where the practice is in opera
ton the stockmen themselves,
both cattle and sheepmen are
firm supporters of the policy.
The great trunk railroads are
leasing their lands, and the state
OF Montana this year will secure
a revenue of 100000 from the
lease of its school lands, stock
men gladly paying the rental
charged by the state, which
gives them the exclusive use of
the land, rather than to Craze
their stock on the free public
range.

question of the constitutionality
of the was squarely raised, and
the supreme court took the case
under advisement.
In this case the anti-gambling
act is attacked ON the same
grounds that have been urged
against it in the district court.
1t is maintained, first, that the
act was illegally passed by the
Legislature in view of the rule
laid down by the supreme court
in the fee bill case. The second
point raised against the bill is
that it provides a means for the
taking of private property with
out due process of law, and is
therefore unconstitutional. 1t
is also urged that it is unconsti-
tutional because it does not fix a
maximum penalty.-Boise Stat

A telegraphic dispatch dated
at Webster, Iowa, Oct. 8, says
William ]. Bryan is a very sick
man tonight. Friends who have
spent Sunday with him at the
farm of Fred F. White, Demo
cratic candidate for governor of
Iowa, three miles from Webster.
are afraid that Mr.. Bryan may
have to temporily abandon his
campaign work not only in Iowa,
but in Kentucky and Ohio.
When Mr.. Bryan awoke this
morning he complained about
his throat and lungs, but said
that he had suffered from a SINH
lar ailment once before, and that
it had yielded to treatment.
Great crowds of farmers from
all over Keokuk county called at
the White farm to see Mr.. BRYAN
during the morning and after
noon, and although he tried hard
to remain outdoors, his physical
weakness mastered his COURAGE
and he had to retire several
times 10 his room. A local phv.
s'cian who was called in tonight
to treat him, recommended a.
long term of absolute rest and
quiet.
1t is understood tonight that
steps will be taken by interested
friends to cancel Mr.. Bryan's
engagements, which included
two and three speeches daily.

A number of Filipino ENJOYS
had a conference with Genera
Otis, October 1, and after it was
over, General Aleiandrinos, one
of them, said to a representative
of the Associated Press
"How long can the Filipino
army and people withstand 60,
600 American troops?' asked the
representative.
"Figh ting in our way, we can
maintain a state of war and the
necessity of a large army OF
occupation indefinitely. You
Americans are holding a few
miles around Manila, q narrow
line OF railroad to Angeles and a
circle of country around San
Fernando, but you are ignorant
or the resources of Luzon. We
hold the rich, immense, produc-
tive northern country from which
to draw. Our people provide
money and food for our support
and 1t is done at a minimum cost.
"lti is an interesting question
what the cost to the American
people is of maintaining troops
in the Philippines. We do not
of course know but it must be
excessive. | perceive what an
American soldier requires in this
climate. On the other hand, a
Filipino exists with handful of
rice and pair of linen trousers.
We do not have to pay our sold
lers and can practically hold up
their wages as long as we desire.
Even without our presentsupply
of arms and ammunition we
could keep your army occupied
for years. With an expense that
grows daily, how long will your
people stand it =? The Filipino
people do not wish to continue
the fighting. We have no army
contractors; we have no business
men making profits from the
maintenance of our army, There
is nothing in it for us, nor are
our salaries large enough to
keep us fighting for money and
position.

The time has gone by wher
the term "theorist," or a sneel
as to theory" conveys much
influence. Theory is now recog
nized as necessity, a force, a
vital influence. Fanciful beliefs,
false assumptions, idle notions,
fads and chimeras have no part
in real theory, for a theory is as
susceptible of being real as any
tangible result. There is moth.
ing done of merit or value that
did not begin as a theory. .
Without "theory" there would
be no practice. Certain definite
views of the way in which a
thing is to be done, the "how'
of it, is the theory; following out
this chow" is the practice; the
DRY is the foundation, practice
the structure. Before one does
anything worth doing he must
have definite plan; the theory
is the generalization from known
facts, the application of knowl-
edge, observation and expert
ence. A man knows something;
he theories thereon or there
from. If such theory be sound.
success attends its practical ap-
plication. The successful de-
monstration of a theory makes it
a known truth. Those who are
too ready to ridicule theories
forget that nearly everything
that we know was once only a
"theory;" when the "theorv,,
was demonstrated it became a

lime was when it was a "theo-

There were theorists" who
thought that air was receivable

believed that electricity could be
gathered and the current inter
rupted, producing light and
power; theory" predicated the
locomotive, the telescope, the
oattleship, the automobile. There
ire theories and theories; dem

Supreme Court last week. This
case is entitled the State VS..

county, the defendant being a
Ofangeyille saloon man. The
