The proposition of Gov. Shaw at the
antitrust conference at st. Louis,
that the governors of the three demo
cratic states that arc most radical
against trusts, prepare a bill against
trusts, in the hope that it would help
him in his recommendation to the
Iowa legislature, was refused with con-
tempt. These men want to keep the
trust question alive for political
reasons. Gov. Shaw said he was poll,
tician enough to write platform con
demning trusts, but he was afraid he
wasn't statesman enough to draft a
law properly dealing with them.
Those populistic democratic governors
like to make political resolutions, bat
do not like to do anything more prac'
teal.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1899-10-05

Week before last the Advocate pub
lished in its Old Hamlin news some
slush about the governor of our state
which should have gone into its waste
basket. 1t seems the correspondent
visited our town on the day Gov. Shaw
was here and his democratic blood
boiled in anger to see the business
houses decorated in honor of the
Governor. His remarks concerning
the Governor are not worth noticing,
because based on his own lack of
comprehension, but his evident anger
because of the decorations make his
article so offensive as to deserve de-
nunciation. Nearly all the democratic
business men of Audubon joined as
quickly as the republican business
men in tho movement that Saturday
morning to swing out decorations and
the national colors in honor of tho
presence in our town of the States
Chief Executive. 1t seems this cores
pondent must belong to that class,
which we are thankful is small, that
class that allows craftsmanship to exceed
patriotism, and that when IN official
, does not chance to belong to the same
political party he does he refuses to
honor him. The governor of the state
doesn't visit our town very often. Our
town people have self respect enough
and patriotism enough to honor those
high in authority in our government,
and when our governor comes here,
whether he is u democrat or republi-
can, we expect to swing out the
national colors. Our people are so
full of patriotism that we honor the
governor of our state for the dignifed
position he holds. How could we do
otherwise if we are loyal and patriotic
citizens? If we were always "agin
the government" in war and in peace
we would likely hate to see the starry
banner wave when the Governor comes
to town

White Out Of Alignment.

"We are committing crime against
the Filipinos, a crime against God and
man in burning their towns and run
ming their women and children into the
jungles, there to die like wild beasts. "
Then Fred White having thus de-
| livered himself, went to the Anamosa
hotel, and willie waiting for his sup
per and the train, looked over the
democratic papers to gather more
wads for his gun.
This Is what his eyes fell upon in
the Atlanta Constitution, the leading
democratic paper of the south:
"Who would be so craven Us to give
the poltroon advice that our men
should retire under fire, bushwhacked
in the rear by enemies either abroad
or at home?"
He threw down the paper in digust
and took mp the st. Louis Republic
one of the strong democratic papers of
the west, and there read:
"Aguinaldo, the Tagal represents
nothing but lawless Filipino out
break against the American flag, leg
ally waving over the Philippines until
the problem of the final disposition of
these islands shall have been solved
by an American congress"
That was tossed aside and he pick
ed up the Chicago Chronicle, his fay
orite, which, being nearer home, would
surely express a different sentiment as
indicative of northern sentiment. He
read:
"1he forces of the United States are
in tho Philippines. They are going to
stay there, and any party which advo-
Gates their withdrawal while Emilio
Aguinaldo and his followers are in
arms against them, will be overwhelm-
ingly defeated at the polls. Nothing
can be surer."
Then he looked at his speech again
and noticed that his political type
writer was out of alignment with at
least three points of the compass, the
south, the west, and the north, and as
he thought of the Dewey reception
he saw it was out of alignment with
the east also.
Then he concluded to change the
spacing and try to convince the voters
that if he was not elected governor of
Iowa that President Mckinley would
declare war on Germany.-Council

People who are inclined to criticise
the conduct of the American campaign
in the Philippines, would do well to
contrast it with those of Spain in
those islands. Gen. Rivera in the
first year of his campaign against the
Filipinos, lost 5000 prisoners, 1000
killed or MORALLY wounded, and
., 1900 disabled by disease, making a
total of II 900, or 46 per cent of his en-
tire command. Gen Otis. in the
eight months Of his campaign, has
lost 252 men killed, 90 deaths from
wounds, 40 incapacitatod from disease
and no prisoners, making the total Sl5,
or about % per cent of his entire
command

''The first blow was struck by the
insurgents. Our kindness was rocipro-
Gated with cruelty, our mercy with a
Mauser The flag of truce was invoke
only to be dishonored. Our soldiers
were shot down when ministering to
the wounded Filipino. Our humanity
was interpreted rs weakness, our for

'"They assailed our sovereignty, and
there will be no useless parley, no
pause, until the insurrection is sup
pressed and American authority ac-
knowledged and established.
The misguided followers in
rebellion have only our charity
and pity. As to the cruel leaders,
who have ncedlessly sacrificed the
lives of thousands of their people, at
the cost of some of our best blood, for
the qualification of their own ambit-
ious designs, will leave to others the
ungracious task of justification and
eulogy."

Iowa State Democratic Platform For

ON THE MONEY QUESTION SAYS:
Recognizing that the money question
is paramount to all others at this
that the Federal Constitution names
silver and gold together as the money
metals of the United States, and that
the first coinage law passed by Con
gross under the Constitution made the
silver dollar the monetary unit and
admitted gold to free coinage at a
ratio based upon the silver dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873, de-
monetizing silver without the know
ledge or approval of the American
people, has resulted in the apprecia-
ton of gold and u corresponding
fall in the prices of commodities pro-
cured by the people heavy increase
in the burden of taxation and of all
debts, public and private; the enrich
ment of the money-lending class at
home and abroad, the prostration of
industry andIthe improverishment of
the people.
We are unalterably opposed to mon
Ometalism, which has locked fast the
prosperity of an Industrious people in
the paralysis of hard times. Gold
monometalism is British policy, and
it's adoption has brought other nations
into financial servitude to London. 1t
is not only un-American, but anti
American, and it can be fastened up
on the United States only by the
sitting of that spirit and love of lib
erty which proclaimed our political in
dependence in 1776, and won it in the
war of the Revolution.
FREE SILVER.
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to l, without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation. We demand that the
standard silver dollar shall be full
legal tender, equally with gold, for all
debts, public and private, and we fav-
or such Legislation as will prevent for
the future the decentralization of any
kind of legaltender money by private
contract.

Bryan says the foreign vote is
what defeated him three years ago,
that the foreigners" didn't under
stand the silver question. If by

American cititizens we would say they
understand the silver question much
better than some boy orators do.
That was the trouble, they understood
the silver question to well for Bryan to
deceive them.

Fred White closed his opening
speech at Davenport as follows
"Now 1 must close my remarks, and
perhaps I should make an explanation
why used the term gentlemen" in
stead of "ladies and gentlemen" 1t is
because tho ladies can't vote, and We
therefore can't pay much attention to
them here" What an explanation,
and what n policy. There were ladies
in the audience but Mr.. White did not
recognize them, because they cant
vote" He should learn that the

pretty influential nevertheless. Cedar

Another democratic issue that has
gone glimmering into the remote re-
cesses of oblivion along with other
dead democratic issues is that of the
Iowa state debt. Two years ago they
took considerable satisfaction in speak
ing of the state debt. Now that the
debt has disappeared and that there is
considerable cash in the treasury, they
are very silent on the subject.

The Supreme Court of the United States
and the Supreme Court and Court of APP
peals for the District will resume their
sessions today On account of the Illness
of Justice Morris, of the latter court, it
is probable that it will continue the re-
cess which it commenced about a week
ago until some later day.
The suggestion made b. the Washington
Bar Association last week, that the District
courts take a recess for two weeks in order
that the committee on legislation of the
association would have ample time to eX-
anime the new code of laws for the Dis
trict prepared by Associate Justice Cox
of the Supreme Court OF the District, will
be considered at a meeting of the justices
of the court today. There has been some
| objection raised to the proposition, espe-
cially as to the advisabiity of adjourning
the criminal courts for so long a time just
at this season when there are so many
prisoners in Jail awaiting trial.
district Attorney Henry e. Davis stated
few days ago. when asked about the
matter that he had not been consulted and
unless the proposed recess was in the
opinion of the members OF the bench OF the
Supreme Court of the District absolutely
necessary, he would not favor such action
Mr. Davis Will not be in the city today as
he left yesterday for New York TO attend
a meeting of the committee on legal edu-

II is also expected that decision in the
Strathers- Smith Winston murder appeal
case Will be handed down today or TO-
morrow by the Supreme Court of the
United States. In this event there will be
a great rush of business in the criminal
courts of the District. Besides the large
number of prisoners awaiting trial for
smaller crimes, there are six murderers who
are to be tried during the present term.

II was learned at the navy yard last
night that there was no foundation for the
