gresham w. c. Jones, when asked what
position he would take In the coming cam

Il am not in accord with the Repub-

old traditions and early teachings has
thrown Mr.. Jones into that slough of
discomfort where all is gloom, unrest,
despair. OF necessity, the only cheering
ray he sees is in Organism, and in
such doctrine he seeks solace. In this
modern madness he hopes TO find COM
fort and, incidentally, office. Support
for many years at the public expense
has united him for the task of earning
a living as other men do. Circum-
stances have made him something of a
public charge, and he not unnaturally
turns to the party which can most con-
sistently relieve his distress by finding
a place for him. What that place is
does not yet appear. but due announce
ment will probably be made before the
fall conventions meet
The only moral to this story OF an
eventful life is: Be persistent and you
will be happy. Take everything in sight.

When 1t comes to the study OF a pat
form 1t is worth while to read the prin-
ciples adopted by the fusionists and
then compare them with the array Of
professions as set forth in the several
sets of resolutions passed from time to
time by different factions in separate
conventions. The fusion platform, as a
work of suppression and elimination, Is
a masterpiece. There is not a prominent
plank in any of the separate platforms
that is repeated in the combination plat
form. The separate platforms are full
of features. The combination platform
is featureless. All the principles set
forth in the several sets of party reso-
buttons seem to have disappeared in
the construction of the combination
creed. They had to be eliminated for
the reason that no single party to the
fusion dicker believes in the professions
of any Of the other parties to said
decker and in consequence the matter
of principles was something that had
to be sidetracked. Principles are of no
concern In the fusion business. It is a
cold. hard proposition OF uniting for
plumber and determining how that plum
der shall be divided in case the raid is
successful.

itself to the same policy as far as re-
CARDS its own Asiatic possessions, and
cannot retreat from that position with
out inviting and receiving reprisals.
Any attempt to extend the tariff laws
so as to give this country free trade
with the Philippines and compel every
other country to pay heavy tariff dues
there would result inevitably in repri-
sails which would close all other Asiatic
ports to our trade, to the great benefit
of commercial rivals. who would like
nothing better than to see this country
commit itself TO such a gigantic blum
der.
The only true policy, and this is the
one to which the administration is COM
mitted. is to establish the Philippines as
a self-governing colony, collecting its
own revenues, and from them paying
its own expenses, being neither a bur-
den nor a source Of profit to the finances
of the federal government, and with no
special privileges in its tariffs for the
merchants or manufacturers of the
United States. for they need none. A
fair field and no favors Is all which is
needed to enable this country to control
the markets of Asia in the near future.

particular significance TO men who do
not think there Is as much in a name

the old Jacksonian wheelhorse vince TO
notice at the head OF the Democratic
ticket a nonpartisan Popuistic Prohibit
ZIONIST, who wants the single tax and
municipal ownership. The old wheel
horse may not object to man holding
on any public question such views as
his reason tells him are right, but he
doesn't relish the idea of having one of
these eccentric individuals of the pres
ent day parade himself before the public

people and is hard on the party. The

gin enacting the role of party.

"Jonesy" Throws Out an Anchor


Ex-Congressman w. c. Jones, or
"Jonesy." as he is better known In po-
litical circles throughout the state, an
nounces his affiliation with the Demo-
cratic party. TO all intents and pur-
poses he has been member of that
party for four years. and public proc
lamation that the flag of modern De-
mocracy Is to fly at his masthead win
occasion no surprise. He showed err
rattle tendencies as far back as 1895, and
a misstep having been once taken, the
descent was easy and the destination
sure. A two years effort to prove an
economical consangunity between a
bushel Of wheat and a accent dollar
was as facilitating physically as it was
demorallzing mentally. and old personal
friends long ago gave up hope of

Judge winsor does not quite under
stand where he comes in. In the midst
of all these negotiations the fact seems
to have been lost sight of that he is
still on earth. OF course the man who
was originally put up by the nonparti-
sans for mayor has been Endorsed by
other factions, but the nonpartisan prin-
ciple is ignored and the man must
travel with a Democratic label. The
Judge is asking himself If the leaders
we're justified in allowing him to wan
der Off innocently on this nonpartisan
path when the idea all along was
to repudiate original professions and
fix up a combination with all Of
the vital nonpartisan principles left
cut. When he looks at the ticket
which bears the legend Demo
cratic he doesn't see much of nonpar-
tisanship in 1t, and 1t Is no wonder he
begins to have misgivings as to the real
sincerity of the men with whom he has
been associating. OF course the Judge
does not complain because he has been
sacrificed, but it is not unnatural that,
having been compelled to step aside, he
should ask what has really been gained
for the nonpartisan idea, as that idea
was originally set forth by the fathers
OF the movement. In other words.
