The Great Accepter.
Howard Press.

Every little while Bryan strolls off into
some remote section of the country, and
accepts a nomination for president! AS
an accepter he has risen to a distinction
that challenges admiration. No other
accepter ever did such a land office bust
ness. When he isn't accepting he is like
a fish out of water and executes about
the same amount of Topping. BY and by
some institution of learning will put in a
chair of acceptance and ask Bryan 10
accept it, and it is safe to say he will
accept with the same ~alacrity that he
accepts a presidential nomination or an
invitation to make a public speech where
where he can pose and 'oppose and view
with alarm" lie can scent a presiden-
tial nomination farther than any other
self made accepter that ever appeared
in the political horizon, and he can corral
it with more profound certainty 81 not
missing it by a hairsbreadth after he
scents it. He is a fine s~center, a polished
accepter, and the most renowned and
picturesque aunt known to nieces and
nephews since the world began!

A Chance for a Fresh Fake.
Minneapolis Journal


Democratic calculations have gone
wrong again, apparently. Here we have
been hearing from democratic and popu-
list sources that there was a secret
alliance between England and Uncle
Sam; the popocrats knew it and it would
come out all right the very first oppor-
tunity. Well, the opportunity came
when it became necessary for the powers
to get together on the Chinese question
and agree upon some line of policy and
operations and who do you think was
first to side with the United States and
accept our view of things? Why, Russia.
Now look out for a new fake from demo-
cratic headquarters-a Russo-American
alliance.

calm, forbearing answer. "But it's a big
difference, jes' the same. Eff we could
have the 'Iections held in July instid o.
November, we could upset the present
system of things without no difficulty
whatsomever."

"Of course, you fail to grasp it. But
suppose you marched the people to the
polls on a good hot July day, with the
tirecraCkers still soundin' in their ears
an a general discomfort p~eryadin' the
atmosphere. 1t wouldn't be no trouble
whatever TO convince 'em that everything
needed Overturnin' an that it was the
right thing to kick about everything that
exists. Everybody feels that way in
July. But what do we do? We wait till
November, when the air is ies' gettin'
hracin', and the hard work is mos'ly
through, an we're gettin' ready to enjoy
ourselves eaten Thanksgivin' turkey.

And now the fusion managers of South
Dakota are trying to repudiate the utter
apces of one Rev. A. b. Smart, who spoke
recently in Sioux Falls under the aus
pices of Senator Pettigiew, and who
expressed the genial desire to "hang
Mckinley on M end of a gibbet and
Hanna on the other" And yet this
sanctimonious ~spellbinder but expresses
the same spirit which actuated Pettigrew
himself to say in congress that If he
were a Filipino he "would fight until he
was gray" and which inspired the
notorious prayer of congressional candi-
date Joe Moore that the god of battles
would uphold the arms of the Filipinos
until Bryan was elected.

The South Dakota Paramount Issue

-" 500 VaIIey NeWs.
The friends of Senator Pettigrew de-
clare his record as an official warrants
his reelection and they should not get
angry because his record is investigated.
If his record IL so good as they claim,
there is no occasion for the feverish
anger they exhibit when a discussion of
his record is attempted. They evidently
fear to have the veil lifted and they get
hot If anyone declines to take their word
for II, that his record is all right. The
paramount issue in this state is the re-
tirement Of Senator Pettigrew from a

PUERTO nIco TIE FIRST COLONY

Mr.. Mckinley Is an lmperallst beyond
question. He has an abstract right to so
be as an individual, but certainly not as
president OF the United States, although
he represents in that respect the dominant
element of his party. The fact that he
thinks and acts beyond the spirit and
authority Of the constitution takes from
him the privilege of claim that his oath
Of office is considered. or that he is en-
titled to the appreciation of Americans.
However, MIR. Mckinley IS to be con
graduated upon an imperialstic consis
tency rare and unexpected In a public Of
fetal who keeps a sensitive and intelligent
finger TO the public pulse in the hope Of
doing absolutely nothing to the otfeuse Of
that public. This marvellous consistency
is not to be accounted for save upon the
discreditahle ground that our worthy
president, with the aid and by the advice
OF the republican party, has determined
that. In the government of our newly ac-
quired possessions, the British practice
and rule shall be assiduously observed.
To say nothing of the presidential vio-
lation OF specific promise. with reference
to Puerto Rico, public conscience and the
constitution have been defied in the gov
ernment of that unfortunate island. a
governor and an executive council are to
constitute the governing forces for Puerto
Rico. In this plan is revived the system
OF George III and the memory OF Lord
North Is perpetuated 1t is quite proper.
The time has come when deception is no
longer possible. As we are to enter upon
the policy OF colonialism 1t is perhaps
harmonious that the English example be
accepted and admitted. By all means let
that territories are entitled to the prlvl-
leges and benefactions OF the constitution
be emphasized and destroyed. In no other
way is consistency possible to the repub-
lican party.
Up with the shameless confession that
republican America has concluded to fol-
low the policy OF colonial England and
down with constitutional guarantees for
the establishment and preservation OF
which this country plunged into reyolu-
tonary war,
The first governor OF Puerto Rico Is TO
be inaugurated at San Juan with great
pomp. Marines md blue jackets are 10
oficiate and the pageantry of the island
garrison is TO be invoked for all It Is
worth. And all that Puerto Rico may be
formally delivered to the reign OF the
trusts. What next? Why. similar
policy toward the Philippines, of course,
or at least one to be determined by a
congress controlled by trust influences and
acting in total disregard OF the constltu-
ton. unless indeed the American voter
shall. in the supreme majesty OF his
wrath. overthrow 1t.
