Under Which FLAG?

During the Fremont campaign in
1856, Henry Ward Beechcr delivered a
speech at Rome, N. Y. On that oc-
casion Mr.. Beecher said: my friends.
in this great campaign there are but
two sides and we must range our
selves upon one side or the other.
There is no middle ground Tor any OF
US. On the one side is the black
shield of slavery, and upon the other
is the white banner of liberty, and
with one or the other of these two
you must take your stand"
In the battle of 1900 there are but
two sides. There is no middle ground
for any of us. On the one side is the
black Shield of Imperialism and upon
the other is the white banner of lib
erty.
The question that will press upon
the conscience of each voter is
whether he will keep this. nation as
the fathers founded it, or permit its
republican character to be destroyed.
The party of Hanna and Mckinley
operate under the black shield of
imperialism.
The forces lead by Bryan and Stew
enson are fighting under the white
banner of liberty.

Like TO Evade the Issue.

Our republican brethren of the
press and of politics, after asserting
that the issue of 16 to l is dead, that
it was buried three and one-half years
ago, proceeded to resurect itand stand
it up to throw their political tobacco
guilds at. The democrats relegated
the Silver issue to back seat on the
party wagon, but the republicans don It
want it there. They want it in the
front, seated beside the driver, SO they
can swipc it one every tune they make
a hit at the man who holds the lines.
o, no. imperialism, territorial eXpan-
sion, the tariff and the trusts are not
issues. The republican papers do not
relish discussion of the tariff sched-
ule and its relation to the subject of
trusts. The close relations between
the idea of special legislation that
fosters certain industries at the en-
pense of Others, with the peculiar
business development of the last three
years OF prosperity, known as trusts,
sits lily on the republican stomach.
The farmers of the Dakotas and Min
neSota OF course relish the attempt of
the Mcintyre combine to form the
milling trust; trust which if success
full would have not only controlled the
price and output of flour, but would
have been able to dictate in large
measure the price of wheat. The re-
publicans are approaching the tariff
and trust issues this fall in the way
that j. p. Dolliver said the democrats
OF twenty years ago approached the
tarll issue, like a man emptying ashes,
with his eyes closed and his back to
the wind.n
The republican campaign promises
to be one of statement and the howl
of prosperity with the bald assertion
that the revival of ordinary business
is due to the Mckinley administration,
None but fool or a knave will make
such statement. Every intelligent
man knows it to be false. The revi.
val of bushes would have occurred no
matter who was president. The great
tide of business does not stop for poll
tics neither is it hurried by legisla-
ton. The formation of huge business
combinations, squeezing out the small
dealer, is one of the leading issues.

Gods Word Condemns the
USurer.

The much Wanted republican party
has put squelcher on Gods criticism
of that class in providing that for an
outlay of 1925 might be taken an an
;nual interest of 1915. That is what
the recent currency bill gives to the
National banker. On a deposit of
$3.50, $3.50 is paid, and on deposit of
$500, the sum of $500 in interest is
paid the banker. These are features
that the republican party has given
the country, the cost of which is a tax
upon the industry of the people, but
to which the Times does not allude.

please answer the following question:
"Does the currency law give to the
National banker on deposit of $3.50.

of 1880 in interest, paid the banker?"
Yours truly,

law that is susceptible of any such
construction. S. A. CONVERSE.

Rural free delivery by means of boat
is the latest proposed extension Of the
$50 mail service. The
plan was suggested
~ Boat by ostmaster
Jones, of Oconomowoc, and is now be-
fore the post eoffice department at
Washington. In the vicinity OF Ocono-
mowoc there is chain of lakes COW
ering so miles of territory along which
are the cottages occupied by summer
residents. The postmaster's sugges-
ton is that fast steamer make the
trip around these lakes and leave mail
at the cottages. This plan seems feast
BILE. The Oconomowoc Waterways as
ISOLATION is now dredging q channel
from Oconomowoc lake to Fowler lake
and a marine railway is to be built to
connect Lac La Belle with Lake Fowler.
When these Improvements are made,
and they are planned for the end Of
August, boats may make q circuit of all
the lakes, and rural free delivery, not
now possible by wagons or the ordi-
nary means, will be practicable by
means of steamboat The successful
use OF the plan in the Oconomowoc re-
gion Is likely to lead to its extension to
other parts Of the country where COM
munication is more easy by water than
by land.

| In recent article in the Philadel-
phia Saturday Evening Post Robert
Ertr.xo..noo c. Ogden, writing
about dishonesty of
N 'Ao"s' young men, says:
Great pressing necessity has not
often driven men to dishonesty. Ex-
travagance is the most common mo-
tive behind the story Of every alb
sconding bank official; the feverish
desire to live at the rate of $4,000
year on an income one-fifth that
amount makes nearly every defalca-
ton the twin brother of overwhelm-
ing debt. One of the noblest men /
ever knew was an embezzler. he fell
from grace not because he desired an
extravagant and luxurious life which
his income would not permit, but be-
cause he appropriated money in his
keeping to aid and support those who
were dependent upon him for the
necessities of life. Most of the stolen
money went to the education Of
younger relatives and the mainte-
nance of those whom he could not
have supported with his comparative
ly meager salary. 1t was my privi-
lege to assist this man when the in
evitable crash came. He is q man
whom shall always respect. though
the motive behind his act in no way

such cases as this are rare exceptions.
Let a young man model his career
upon basis Of absolute, undertaking
honesty and he will not have to seek
long for place of trust. Let him al
ways be in position to shake hands
with himself, for self-respect is as
good as the respect of others. The
men who to-day control great bust
ness enterprises are looking for
youths in whom they may place lin
itless confidence. The world stands
ready to wait hand and foot upon
those who have proved themselves be-
yond the seduction Of any tempter.
Diogenes looking for an honest man
has not yet ceased his searching, for
though there are many men who are
honest in matters of money, there are
many more who lack honesty in mat
tiers affecting the perfect performance
Of duty. There is dishonesty which
does not stoop to steal, but which pre-
| tends to a faithful service while &C
tually Sinking work waiting to be
done. That is the commoner trans
| erosion Of commercial ethics, and
one to be avoided by the man who
seeks to mold himself for higher
things as he would avoid the touch of
q leper.'
