Imperialism, AIilitarism and Trustism.
Theodore Roosevelt has been called
upon to help and he has thrown him
self into the fray in his usual reckless
way. The Administration is evident
ly frightened by the outlook.
Roosevelts speech at Akron was a
most yirulent attack on the Democratic
party, ON William j. Bryan and on
everybody who will not stand for the
policy of loot for the trusts and syn
dicates and offices for the incompe-
tents and scamps. He disdained ar
gument altogether and confined him.
self 10 slangwhanging of the most pro-
nounced Billingsgate sort-those who
oppose McKinley's policy are traitors
who ought to be shot or tied to the tail
of wild horse.
What effect this sort of talk will have
on the Ohio farmers to whom 1t was
addressed is problem. They are an
independent, open-minded, reasoning
class of men as a rule. and they may
