Democratic standar.lbearer to take. 1t
must be so recognized by all fair-mind-
ed persons, just as would refusal on
the part of Mr.. Mckinley to enter into
a joint debate with Chairman Jones of
the Democratic Na.onal Committee,
who occupies the official position in the
one party's campaign organization
filled by Mr.. Hanna i'll that OF the other.
Senator Hanna however, differs from
Senator Jones in that he arrogantly
stands before the American people as
the creator and master of the man
whom the American people elected to
the Presidency of the United States,
and as the real power in American gov
eminent if Mr.. Mckinley >iall be again
elected. 1t was the most natural thing
in the world for Senator Hanna to chal-
lenge Mr.. Bryan to q joint debate. TO
the mind of the Doodle boss Of the Re
publican party and rs puppet Presi-
dent, the fight of 1900is a fight between
Hanna and Bryan. Mr.. Mckinley is a
mere figurehead in that fight, manipu-
lated by Hanna and subject to Hanna's
orders. 1t is Hanna. therefore, who
steps into the arena as the Republican
champion in the battle of 1900, chal-
longing the Democratic champion to
combat, entirely ignoriN; the polite fic-
ton that Mr.. Mckinley is the leader of
the Republican, hosts.
Mr.. Bryan has done well to direct
public attention TO this usurpation by
Hanna of rights that properly belong
only to Mr.. Mckinley as Mr.. Bryan's
antagonist. The trust instrument in
public life should pull hialself together.
He has for the moment forgotten and
abandoned the role in wach he was
cast by the trusts for the Cooling of the
American people. He has come out in
his true character of MeKinley's boss

Goodwin Smith thinks that marriage Il
a protection against suicide. lie says:
Statistics show that suicide is largely
on the increase The Inference which
some would draw is that progress has
failed to produce happiness. 1t is true
that mankind has grown more restless,
and that with multiplied desires and
heightened aspirations there have come
new sources Of discomfort But the gem
eral fact probably is that sensibilty has
increased with civilization. 1t seems to
be proved statistieally that marriage is n
safeguard against suicide while divorce
is specially productive of it. Marriage
no doubt is too often the disllusion -
love. Yet the immense majority Of mar
riages are happier than a lonely life"

order reads that the assisting engines
on all trains are considered n part OF

The second item in :hc policy is to
do away with one brakeman on all ore
trains between Mauch Chunk and
