SOME seven or eight million American
voters as guilty of dishonesty because
they dc not believe in the 200-cent dol
lar which has been saddled on the peo-
pie for the benefit of the bondholders.
But how about the noisy candidate q
own record? The people will remember
how he not long ago was caught in an
attempt to avoid payment of his taxes.
! When the assessor came around and
wanted him to pay taxes on his per-
tonal property in New York, Roosevelt
made oath that he was a resident of the
District of Columbia. where he was
holding down a job as assistant secre-
tary of war. Later he was nominated
Tor governor of New York and some
mischievous person made the point that
the candidate was not eligible as he
was not resident of the state Then
Roosevelt discovered that he had been
mistaken in claiming to have his home
! in. Washington. He rushed around
and paid his taxes in order that he
might run for the governorship. It
will hardly do for him to set himself
up as the one great representative of
! the honest people.
'The expansion of Canadian traffic
in the last four years is the greatest in
any equal period in the history of the
Dominion, is the way the papers an
nounce it. Too bad that the Canadians
are shut out from the privilege of en-
dorsing the author of all this prosperity
by voting for Mckinley.
Prosperity has broken out in fresh
spot in Iowa. Britt will entertain the
convention Of the National Associa-
ton Of Tramps." Here is an oppor-.
tunity for your Uncle ''Mark' to tap a
barrel in exchange for an official en-.
dOrsement Of the administration.
The Pioneer Press says, editorially,
that the anarchist who assassinated
King Humbert was only student in
the same school in which William J.
Bryan is professor. This is entirely
in harmony with it's other position that
the assassin of Goebel is a patriot.
Some simple minded people may not be
able to subscribe to either of these doc
trines. However, there is no question
but that both are of the genuine Re-
publican brand.
Our Republican neighbors across the
Wisconsin line have dose of Hanna
ism on their hands, quite the equal of
the forcing of Sherman out of public
life in Ohio, to make room for the great
boss. Their well loved Senator Spooner
is the victim in this case, and Hanna
and Mckinley have issued the ukase,
that Spooner must go to his political
graveyard. It is in order to make room
for Henry G. Payne. The whole chap
ter is a black one, and will 10 fully
aired as the time goes on. This impe.
rialism which makes and unmakes SEN
ators as well as carries on wars of con-
quest, is of the real old-fashioned kind
Caesars kind.
The schoolmasters this year are for
Bryan, scores Of able educationalists
have declared for him, who bitterly op-
posed US in 1896. In Indiana there is
said to be a regular stampede of faculty
professors to the Bryan standard.
Garry the news to Prexy Northrup.
He should catch on.
Wheat has been rising gradually in
the face of the disaster from drouth, and
SO has silver, without drouth, to the
highest point of years. But when nor
NAL conditions return the raisers of
wheat will continue to be in deadly
competition with the wheat raisers of
the silver countries. The fact all the
time remains that free coinage would
relieve our producers from such ruinous
competition-from the ''5O.cent wheat
that is always with us under the Re-
publican. English policy.
There was JOY among the Republic
cans some time ago when their papers
were able to report the wonderful news
that a Democratic Mckinley club
had been organized in the city of Ar.
gentine, Kan. It was nothing but a
hoax, of course, but some of the Repub-
icans really took the matter seriously
and were excee dinghy glad. Here is
the story as told by the Argentine Re-
public:
1T was in the little town of Argen-
tine, Kan, that some politicians got
together in sidewalk conference not
long ago and did something which no
one else in all the United States had
thought of doing-organized Demo
cratic" Mckinley club
"With an ex-oonstable that had been
out Of Office for year, an old negro
ex-slave, who had once voted for a
Democratic justice of the peace, and
four rank Republicans that were never
identified with the party of Mr.. Bryan,
the "Democratic' club was launched
with great deal of noise and buster
by the Republican papers and amid
great deal of mirth and laughter from
the people of the little city where the
joke was perpetrated.
"While the club was new the Repub.
loans Of the town rented hall one
night and gave it christening, where
free beer and cigars were dispensed and
the members were made to feel that
prosperity had really come to Kansas,
but this did not last long. The beer
