REJECTED AND ScoRNED.
Democracy Repudisted by One
Who Voted for bryan
in 1896.

"The democratic party has aban-
doned every principle which ! hold
dear and which | have been taught
from my infancy TO love. In 1896 |
voted for Mr.. Bryan because | dis
liked to leave a party with which |
had been affiliated all my life, and
believed that when it had sobered up
from that drunken debaneh better
Judgment and calm deliberation would
again dominate its counsels. But
alas! Poor Iorick! 1t goes from bad
TO worse. until now it has taken such
a radical departure from all the prin-
ciples enunciated by all the great DEM
oeratic leaders that it looks TO me
like political suicide. 1t has taken up
SO many falIacies and isms militar-
ism, imperialism (cheap elap-trap--
mere rot), the absurd Boer plank
in the face of the facts, the laughable
fallacy that the constitution follows
the flag, and the bewildering and as
tonishing declaration of the extern
sion of the Monroe doctrine to the
shores of Asia, with others too nu-
merous 10 mention, but equally abb
surd, that | cannot understand how
any old-line Jeffersonian democrat
can do anything but support the can
didate who is standing up for Ameri-
can institutions, for American adj
vancement and progress, for Ameri-
can civilization, for the God-giving
American prerogative TO take our
place in the very front rank of all
the nations of the earth.
II say support the man who put
the flag up in Porto Rico; who put
it up in Hawaii; who put it up in
the Philippines and who advocates
keeping it there-and may God grant
it may never come down!"--E. II. Mel
vim Lawrence. Kan.

INTEREST is LESS.
Money Lenders Receive Lower Re-
wards for Capital Than Ever
Before.

"Our industrial and agricultural con-
ditions are more promising than they
have been for many years; probably
more so than they have ever been.
Prosperity abounds everywhere
throughout the republic. Irejoice that
the southern as well as the northern
states are enjoying full share of
these improved national conditions,
and that all are contributing so largely
to our remarkable industrial develop
ment. William Mckinley.
1t is rarely that paragraph as strik-
ing as this has been written by the head
of the government. THE money lender
receives lower rewards for his capital
than if it were invested in actual bust
ness. The rates of interest are lower
than they have ever been in this coun-
try, while those things which are pro-
duced on the farm and in the workshop
and the labor producing them have adj
vanced in value" Perhaps never be-
fore was the chief magistrate of an adj
ministration able to make such re.
port of the success of the policy for
which he was as man, magistrate and
statesman so largely responsible.

LEW WALLACE TRUE BLUE.
Bryan Responsible for Ameri-
can Soldiers Slain.

A special dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Press from Charlottesville, Ind,
says: A report current here that Gen.
Lew Wallace was to oppose Mckinley
and the republican party was proved to
be democratic canard by Gen. Wallace
in a speech delivered here Wednesday
night.
Gen. Wallace pledged himself with
out stint or reservation to Mckinley
and continuance of the prosperous
conditions, and denounced Bryan in
unmeasured terms, referring to his ac-
ceptance of the nomination for presi-
dent by three parties as hypocritical,
because he could serve but one party,
not three.
Bryan's financial policy also received
attention, but it was on the para
mount issues" that Gen. Wallace grew
emphatic. He said;
81 hold Mr.. Bryan directly and per-
sonally responsible for the death of
every American soldier slain in the
Philippines. He is responsible for
every wound and for every tear shed in
this war, which would have long since
been ended but for the encouragement
and promises held out by Bryan and
others of his like to the rebels in arms
against the government to which Bry-
an processes loyalty"

at is time TO dismiss the craven
fear of being great, to recognize the
place in the world which God has
given us, and to accept the response
bilities which it deyolves upon us in
behalf of Christian civilization"
These are the words of Rev. Josiah
Strong in his new book, Expansion. !"
The work is really one of the most
interesting on this subject so much
discussed in this campaign. Attention
is called TO the astonishing develop
ment of energy which has subdned
the continent and which to-day makes
us the most forceful and resource

Amid these changed conditions, we
could not maintain policy of politi-
cal isolation. He continues:
at is quite too late TO ask whether
we will expand. We are already ex-

''Our policy should be determined,
not by national ambition, nor by COM
mercial considerations, but by our
duty to the world in general and to
the Filipinos in particular.

personal observation of the Filipinos

that Americans with the traditions

What blissful peace the city holds,
Ard thankful mothers say
Once more that school (and safety folds
Each little flock away;
To flying cars no anxious looks
Turn now; there's comfort when
Those daring boys with lunch and books
Have gone to school again.
No Indian warwhoops pierce the air,
No tortured shrieks have led
Distracted women to declare
Some child is nearly dead;
Ring in. We blessed bells of nine,
A reign of quiet. then
Those noisy boys with 81 On and whine
Have gone to school again.
The neighboring cats bask in the sun.
A feathered chorus sings;
''Birds, aren't you glad that schools begun
For boys with deadly slingsY'
But at my door lies Rover, dumb
With grief beyond my ken,
EIis master. nay, his friend and chum,
Has gone to school again.
Trapeze and bars deserted wait
That busy sand-lot corps,
The swinging. squirming. squealing freight
These rings and ropes upbore,
Sits silent, Gagged (yOu might believe)
Within some prison pen.
Those athletes. meekly Though they
grieve),
Have gone to school again.
Young eyes that smiled at sun and sky,
Frown hard at black and white,
AS hours like days go tagging by,
While four walls spoil delight
OF outdoor fun of merry noise
OF glad vacation, when
LIES happiest creatures were these boys
just gone to school again.

Our Financial strength.

AS visible evidence of the finan-
cial strength of this country. which
accounts for the fact that the credit
of the United States government is
higher than that of any country, it
may be stated that on September 1,
1900, there was in the treasury bal
ance $135, 900 gold in addition to
the gold reserve of S15o,ooo,OOo, and
the volume of our currency is great
er per capita than it has ever been.
1t was S21.10 in 1896. 1t has increased
to $3.50 on July 1. 1900, and S26.s5 on
September 1, 1900. Our total money
on July /, 1896, was 81 500, 434.966; on
July /, 1900, it was S2,o62, Az, 400, and
So, o96. 6s3, 042 on September l, 1900.
The splendor of these figures startle
the world. The success of the admin
istration is no less striking.

slow Growth of Arkansas.

The slow growth of the population of
Arkansas affords some food for
thought. The population in 1900 is
1911, 564, as compared with LIPS, 179 in
1890, an increase of only 1926 per cent.
in the decade. The rate of increase is
only two-ffths of the rate from 1850
TO 1890, when it was 40.5s per cent,
and less than fourth of what it wes
from 1870 to 1850. when it was 65.65
per cent Prior to the civil war the
population more than doubled every
ten years. The state plainly needs re-
iuvenation. education, manufacturing
and energy. The days of the Jones
regime should be ended.
