with political speech at a barbecue. by

barbecue, as the speaker is leaving. he
observes a pretty girl leaning against a

More than week ago 1t was given out
that. the imperialistic issue proving
failure, the Democratic leaders would turn
TO trusts and like subjects. This predic-
ton seems to have been correct. Mr..
Bryan is gradually shifting his ground
from anti-imperialism to trusts and
like topics. The paramount issue is no
longer paramount. 1t has failed. The
American people see no danger of empire
in our policy toward the Philippines. The
more the imperialistic idea is talked the
more ridiculous it seems. The Democratic
leaders have pushed this fiag-furling issue
far enough to discover that 1t is mis-
take. They have misjudged the American
people, who know that wherever the Amer
lean flag goes there goes with it law
and the freedom which law insures. The
flag, as an insignia of the sovereignty of
great nation, stands for the best in
civilization, which means the security Of
the people, the protection Of property. the
education of the people, and all those
blessings which make this country the
superior of other nations on this continent
If, in the wake of civilization for which
the stars and stripes stand. a few vices
follow. they are of no consequence COM
pared with the vast good of its uplift-
ing and humanizing power. The best
armies have camp-followers. Therefore,
from this time on the trusts will be the

Governor Roosevelt's letter of accept
ance published in this issue of the Journal
is a valuable addition to current political
literature. Thoroughly grounded in the
facts of history and the principles of good
government. and skilled in the use of the

scented by others. He makes it clear that,
Notwithstanding Democratic denials. the
real paramount issue is IS to 1, for as. he
says, 1.-THE paramountcy of an issue is to be
determined not by the doctrine of any men
or body of men. but by the fact that it

in the land" His discussion of the trust
question. though brief. is marked by his
customary good sense, while his treatment
of expansion and the questions growing out

man of his robust patriotism. Intelligent
and patriotic Americans will find i'm the

Not long ago one of those excellent per-
sons who seem to fear that their fellow
mortals will go to the bad If they should
cease to warn them of their weaknesses
and proneness to evil declared that one of
the dangers of the American people-mean-
ing, of course, the average people-is the
probability that they will lose their INTEL
lectual vigor and sink TO a condition of
animalism by being overfed This fear
came to him when he saw the plentiful
ness of the good things of life which the
good times of the past three years have
enabled wage earners to enjoy with every
evidence of keen satisfaction. He beholds
tony. Therefore he is very free to express
the opinion that the higher wages, the
better standard of living and the wider
range of comforts and luxuries at the COM
mand of the mass of American wage earn
ers will eventually be their undoing. In
other words. general prosperity, If pres
ent and apparent blessing, is a future
danger. To attain their highest intel
lectual vigor and moral excellence the mass
of the American people must be compelled
TO exercise and develop their faculties by
daily struggles with the wolf at the door.
This is the first occasion In modern times
that people has been in a situation TO be
warned because they can command too
many of the good things of life. No other
country has ever been in the condition of
it's people having too much to eat and too
good houses I'm which to live. First of all
the nations in the world. the United States.
In the judgment of one OF its self-consti-
tuted guardians, may become the victim of
enervating luxury through too general
prosperity. The Nation will not attain
its highest development. this guardian
thinks. if the mass of US do not go to our
employments with half-satisfied hunger
and with insufficient clothing to protect us
from the weather. and if We do not return
at night to homes bare of every comfort
and luxury; the American laborer will in
time be overcome by mere animalism If he
carries daily to his labor a well-filled din
ner pail.
This gloomy picture might Cypress the
American and enable the issue-seeking

Change in the
Journals Price

The publishers of the Journal an
nounce to the public that on and
after Monday, Sept. IL, the pa
per will be furnished to subscribers
at a much reduced price, the par
ticulars of which will be found
elsewhere In this issue. The pa
irons of the paper are assured that
the standard of the Journal will
not be lowered nor its character
changed in any respect, except for
the better. 1t will continue to be,
as 1t long has been, the leading pa
per IN Indiana and one of the best
IN the country. Renewed efforts
will be made to keep it in the front
rank of reliable newspapers. It's
record is better than glowing prom
ises.
The Journals ambition is to COW
er the State as no morning paper
has ever covered it. 1t is unneces-
sary to say to those who read the
Journal that it has always been the
advocate of the interests of every
section of Indiana.
The Journal will not deviate from
its policy in the past. 1t is and
will be Republican because it be-
Iieves in Republicanism. When it
comes to the news il will seek to
give its readers all that is impor-
tant from day to day. 1t will not be
sensational, but it will strive to
give all the news that is fit to print
and is worth the attention of intel
ligent people.
This reduction is made because
the Journal is willing to share with
its friends the prosperity that has
attended its efforts to acceptably
serve them, because its circulation
has reached a point where its own
ers can afford it, and because of a
belief that such action is sound
business policy.

the evil and the remedy therefor when
they are oppressive. Mr.. Foulke shows
that there trusts which do not appear
in the usual lists, such as the greedy ice
trust of the big Tammany of New York.
and the beer trust of the little Tammany
of Indianapolis. II is unfortunate that Mr..
Bryan's chairman is director in the rob-
Der monopoly Of the South. and that his
chosen leader in New York. Croker and
the Tammany regime, stands for the most
infamous trusts in New York city, which
include not only the American ice trust,
but extend to all the leading contracts.
In this city, Mr.. Foulke shows the nature

OUR ABsALOMs.

In his speech at st. Louis Mr.. Bryan de-
voted considerable space to paraphrasing
the scriptural query, rs the young man
Absalom safe2" On this text he delivered
a mournful wall over the almost hopeless
prospect of the young men of America un-
der present business conditions. After pay
ing tribute to the unselfshness of par
entail affection he called on the fathers and
mothers OF the land to ask themselves if
their Absaloms were safe. He said:
Is he safe when foreign or domestic finan-
ciers are allowed to determine the none
tary system under which he lives?
Is he safe when national banks control
the volume of money with which he does
business?
Is he safe when the bondholding class
determines the size of the national debt
upon which he must help to pay interest:
Is he safe when, by means or taxes lald
almost entirely upon consumption, he is
compelled to contribute according to his
wants rather than according TO his posses
sions?
Is he safe when corporate interests infiu-
ence, as they do to-day. the selection OF
those who are TO represent him in the Sen
ate of the United States?
If he is wage-earner, and you do not
know how soon he may be, even If he is
not now, is he safe when he is liable to
be deprived of trial by jury through the
system known as government by inJunc-
ton?
Is he safe, IL laboring man, when he
is denied the protection of arbitration and
compelled to submit to such hours and
terms as a corporate employer may pro-
pose?
In this series of questions Mr.. Bryan
made skillful use of his talent for putting
false assertions i'm the form of interroga-
tories. OF all the conditions which he in
sinuates prevail not one exists. There is
not an intelligent high-school debater in
the country who could not, on either one
of the issues raised in these queries, prove
that Mr.. Bryan is utterly wrong, and
either willfuIly or reckIessly misrepresents
facts.
Mr. Bryan's lament over our Absaloms
will not alarm either their parents or the
young men themselves. There is nothing
the matter with the young American Alb
salons. They are all right, and, in spite
of the oppressive conditions falsely pictured
by Mr.. Bryan. they are getting there" in
great numbers all the time. The millions
OF successful and prosperous middle-aged
Americans are sufficient evidence that the
young men of the country are not held
down or back in any of the ways intimated
by Mr.. Bryan. If he really wants TO know
whether the young man Absalom is safe
let him ask Absalom himself, instead of
drawing on his own lurid magination for
facts. Whether he finds Absalom on the
farm, or in the workshop. on the railroad,
in the counting room or the schoolroom. in
private employment or in public service
wherever it may be he will find that Absa-
lom is safe, not troubling himself about
imaginary dangers, and forging his way to
the front and the top, as young Americans
always have done, and never more success
fully than they are doing now. Our Absa-
Ions are all right.
