contains a poem entitled ''The Eden
State. We quote the first verse:

Something good for you to hear,
That Will I'LL yonr heart with cheer

IN the next column is an editorial on
The Galveston Horror which opens
with these words:
1t is said that modern history has
never recorded the equal of the Calves
ton devastation OF life and property.
The subject is too serious for Jest.
and Texas is really fine State. in spots,
for those who like such conditions as
exist there. Next week we shall pub
fish a letter from a special correspon
dent giving a full and vivid account of
the Galveston disaster.
In an article on the Coming Re-
generation of China" in Gunton's
Magazine for October, John Henry
Barrows, ID. d., says of China: "The
nation is rightly described as an old
man lying in it's cradle. 1t is the hugest
expanse of undeveloped human cab
bages growing in graveyard to be
found on the face of the earth. Its
most prevalent form of worship is the
worship of ancestors. The spirits of
the dead rule this nation from their
urns." This does not, however, cor
rectly indicate the spirit of the article.
The writer has hope for China, and
conc ludes with these words: when
Oh ina becomes part Of Christendom,
its people will not be looking toward an
unworthy and enslaving past, but
toward a better and freer future

Republican platform denounces the
trusts. If Republican says that the
trust is bad thing, ask him why Re-
publican administration allowed more
trusts to be organized than were ever
organized in all the previous history of
the country.
That is a poser, isn't it? No getting
around that. Smart man, Mr.. Bryan!
But, hold on minute, Gunton's Maya
zine makes this pertinent enquiry:
Is it possible that Mr.. Bryan doesn't
know that the administration has. no
more to do with allowing trusts to
organize than it has with allowing the
sun to rise? that all corporations or

the national administration has no con-

AUTOMOBILE TIRES.
An Important Question That Has HoA
Yet Been Settled.

y
Yet Been Settled.
The tire question is one for which
the manufacturers OF automobilesIh have
not yet found a satisfactory answer.
The most vulnerable part Of the vehicle
is the rim of the wheels, and In order
to insure comfort, safety and beauty
experiments have been made by nearly
all manufacturers which involved
much more expense than Is known to
the people outside of the business. The
monster pneumatic tires are unsightly
and give the vehicles ponderous and
unwieldly appearance, besides being
expensive. In order to overcome these
objections tires Of various sizes, shapes
and designs have been made and are
being used for the purpose Of determln-
ing which is the most practicable.
Among the recent patterns is
square tire with corrugated surface.
which is a great Improvement on the
old balloon in looks, although its manu-
facturers have not tested 1t sufficient
ly to give an opinion on Its lasting
properties. Some Of the newest pleas
ure vehicles have a narrow wheel and
a tire correspondingly small, and the
life of these tires is also being watched
closely.
"Only careful investigation" said q
manufacturer, will solve the prob
lem. We have nothing except the bi-
cycle tire to go by and must get our
knowledge through expensive expert
ments."
The cost of rubber tires justifles a
large outlay for the purpose Of discov-
ering which is the most durable pat
tern and design. Tires cost from S25
to $50 each, and some Of the special
patterns are still more expensive. The
experiments with the various tires are
being watched with much attention
by the people who are interested In
the horseless trucks. because the heavy
vehicles will require tires Of great
strength. The solid rubber tire has
been used with some success In heavy
vehicles and Is having its share Of at
tentiOn In the tests which are now be-
ing made.-New York Tribune.

Sympathy For The Beers.

Believing In the principles OF self
government and rejecting as did our
forefathers the clam OF monarchy,
we view with indignation the purpose
of England to overwhelm with force
the South African republics. Speak
ing as we do for the entire American
nation, except its Republican office
holders and for all free men every
where, we extend our sympathies to
the heroic burghers in their unequal
struggle TO maintain their liberty
and independence.
We denounce the large appropria-
tions OF recent Republican congress
es. which have kept taxes high and
which threaten perpetuation of op
preston OF war levies. We oppose
the accumulation of a surplus to be
suuandered in such barefaced frauds
upon the taxpayers as the shipping
subsidy bill, which under the false
pretense OF prospering American
snipbuilding, would put unearned
millions into the pockets of favorite
contributors to the Republican cam
paign fund. We favor the reduction
and speedy repeal of the war taxes
and o return to the time honored
Democratic policy of strict economy
in governmental expenditures.
Believing that our most cherished
institutions are in great peril, that
the very existence of our constitu-
tional republic is at stake, and that
the decision now to be rendered will
determine whether or not our child
rem are to enjoy those blessed privi-
leges OF free government which have
made the United States great, pros
porous and honored, We earnestly
ask for the foregoing declaration OF
principles the hearty support OF the
liberty loving American people, re-
gardless of previous part y affiliations.

A MODEL GUEST.
The Reason He Could Sympathiss
With the Landlord

The Niagara Falls landlord sized the

and before anything could be said
about rooms, rates or conveniences he
observed:
perhaps you have made a mistake
in the hotel. This Is the Great View
House. The Small View House is two
blocks down the street"
'This is the place l want" replied
the guest.
"But our rooms are small and the
beds nothing to brag Of"
"That will be all right. I've been
sleeping In hall bedroom or on a shelf
for year past"
"There is no roaring to be heard
here"
"I'm glad Of it."
"And the meals are very plain"
"That suits me. I've got dyspepsia,
and the palmer the meals are the bet
ter"
"You don't object to hand organs by
day and squalling babies by night"
Not the slightest. I've roamed all
over Europe, and you can't have any
thing here to compare"
The landlord saw that he had erred
In sizing the man up, but he hated to
admit 1t and therefore continued:
my rates are SO per day."
That's cheap enough for a hotel
here" replied the man.

and If you want to put man in with

his head began to swim.

Philippine Policy Denounced.

We condemn and denounce the
Philippine policy of the present ad-
ministration. 1t has involved the re
public in unnecessary war, sacrificed
the lives of maDv OF our noblest SONS
and placed the United States, previ-
ously known and applauded through
out the world as the champion of
freedom, in the false and uuamerican
position of crushing with military
force the efforts of our former allies
to achieve liberty and self govern
ment The Filipinos cannot be citi-
zens without endangering our civili
zation; they cannot be subjects with
out imperiling our form OF govern
ment, and as we are not willing to
surrender our civilization or to con-
vert the republic into an empire we
favor an immediate declaration OF
the nations purpose to give to the
Filipinos first stable form OF govern
ment, second, independence, and
third. protection from outside inter
ference, such as has been given for
nearly a century to the republics of
Central and South America.
The greedy commercialism which
dictated the Philippine policy OF the
Republican administration attempts
TO Justify it with the plea that it will
nav. but even this sordid and un-
worthy plea fails when brought to
the test of facts. The war OF criminal
aggression against the Filipinos, en-
failing an annual expense OF many
millions, has already cost more than
any possible profit that could accrue
from the entire Philippine trade for
wears to come. Furthermore, when
traue is extended at the expense OF
kliberty the price is always too high.
We are not opposed to territorial
expansion when it takes In desirable
territory which can be erected into
states in the Union and whose people
are willing and fit to become Ameris
can citizens. We favor expansion by
every peaceful and legitimate means.
But we ase unalterably opposed to
seizing by purchasing distant islands
to be governed outside the constitu~
ton and whose people can never be-
come citizens.
We are in favor of extending the
republics influence among the ma
tions, but believe that influence
should be extended not by force and
violence, but through the persuasive
power of high and honorable ex-
ample.
The Importance OF other questions
now pending before the American
people is in nowise diminished, and
the Democratic party takes no backs
ward steps from its position on them,
but the burning issue Of Imperialism
growing out OF the Spanish war in
wolves the very existence of the re-
public and the destruction OF our
tree institutions. We regard it as
the paramount issue of the cam
paign.
