In this open fight for liberty. surely
every anti-imperialist should be ready to
bear his part. Hesitation IT, avail our
selves of the leadership under which
alone opposition to imperialism can DO
made effective. through dlstrust of tho
leaders views on economic questions not
now ir issue. would be as senseless as
hesitation to employ surgeon on whose
skill depended the sole prospect of life
through dislike of his religious beliefs.
1t can hardly be necessary TO say that
we who four years ago sacrificed our pO-
ldcal prospects and personal associations
rather than lend even passive support or
silence to declarations which we believe
to be subversive of order. will pursue the
same course again If these questions
should ever recur.
STANDS FOR JUSTICE AND LIBERTY
The best evidence Of our capacity TO
deal with the issues of 1902 or 1904. what
ever they may be, Is to deal intelligently
now with the issues of 1900. On. that is
sue, Mr.. Bryan stands for justice, lib
erty and the constitution. and since all
these would be tmperilled by his defeat,
1t is to be hoped that the liberty cOnver-
Ventton will not be swerved from sup
porting him by preiudices springing from
past antagonisms or by groundless ap-
prehcnsions of the future. Yours very

National Independents were engaged to-
night behind closed doors preparing the

morrow on the floor Of the anti-imperiaI-

The third ticket advocates held no ses-

! say they will meet tomorrow and may
nominate ticket but nothing Is stated

R. A. Widman, of New York, one Of
! the prominent worker in the national
party, said tonight the representa- tives
here were opposed to both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties. therefore
nothing but third ticket would satlsfy

PROBLEM OF POLICE PAY
STEPS ARE TAKEN TO ADJUST 1T
IN COURT.

Joseph King, the former superintendent
OF the police alarm system, Is attempting
to collect $5SS.33, which he claims the city
owes him for the months Of June and
July He was discharged by the police
commission the 18th Of last June, and
Joseph Macauley was elected to fill the
vacancy. The plaintiff has retained Am
brose Tighe and Oscar Hallam to prose-
cute the case, which Is a test to determine
If all the police officers discharged by tho
commission will be able to get back pay
from the city. The payroll for July and
June has been audited, and the question
resolves Itself into the point whether tho
city must pay two sets Of policemen.
The plaintiffs attorney sought to tie up
Macauley's pay by serving complaint with
Comptroller McCardy. and stated that
they would hold the city liable for King 8
pay for June and July.
The comptroller sent note to Secrc-
tary COpiey suggesting that he withhold
Macauley's pay until the corporation had
been heard from Mr.. Markham advised
that the commission had no authority to
withhold Macauleys check after It had
been audited. McCardy then sent q note
to the corporation attorney inquiring
whether the financial department Of the
city had anything to do with the case.
An opinion has not been rendered.
This is the first action brought by a re-

twenty-five or thirty more in the same
status, all Of whom have retained th5
same attorneys.
When Bailiffs Adams and Parish called
at the office of the police commission yes
terday morning to get their pay Nhecks
for July salaries they were Informed tho
only way by which they could get their
checks was to turn in a receipt showiuE
that their stars and other property hal
been left with the chief Of police.
Secretary Copley stated that he hal
been instructed to not deliver the July
pay check to the bailiffs unless they could
show receipts for property belonging TO
the police department.

evidence leads to the conclusion that the
Illinois senator has been very indiscreet.
to say the least. He has advertised sew
eral articles Of commerce. but seems to
have given special attention to baking
powder and champagne. The pains he
takes with the subject OF champagne and
the amount Of space accorded 1t in the
report are a revelation to sober and in
dustrious people. A revelation Is also
made TO advertising experts who may
read the champagne section. Their first
thought will perhaps be that much adj
vertising talent was wasted when the Il
linois man cast his fortunes in the SEN
atorial business. That Congressional Re
cord champagne ad is very smooth and
elegant piece Of work. and the New York
manufacturer Of champagne who Is fay-
ored with special mention will doubtless
be the gamer by many thousands of dol
lars. which his unfortunate competitors
will Iosa
That Senator Mason is a connoiseur OF
champagne can easily be detected In the
port. If he does not love champagne as
it sparkles In the glass. and was not In
his report expressing the disgust of his
outraged stomach over a swindle discov-
cred by virtue Of the power vested in the
senatorial commission, then he was show
ing the most extraordinary concern for
the welfare of such Of his fellow men
as do not hesitate to look upon the wine
when it is pale yellow. The special grieV-
ance of the Illinois senator-otherwis
the pure food commission-seems to be
the substitution of plebeian carbonic acid
gas for natural fermentation of the wine
IN the bottle. The latter process takes
time, while the use of gas permits the
placing of the champagne on the market
as soon as the cork is driven In. Sena-
tor Mason was surprised to discover this
trade secret, and, If the way he handled
the subject Gffords a clue to his thoughts
at the time, he must have wondered how
often he had been taken in by the pro-
duct Of the pop factory. Such a shock
is not conducive to an amiable frame Of
mind. nor does 1t invite charity for the
evildoer. Quite naturally, carbonic acid
gas and the man who uses 1t to give
finish to his champagne" were both
roughly handled. They were given bumps
and jolts over lengthy treatise. and at
the conclusion of the article the reader
is left with. the impression that all MAX
ers of champagne in this country, ex-
cept one good and honest man In New
York, use gas while the one exception
allows his wine to age in the approved
'way-by fermentation in the bottle in
dark cellars. That is Billy Mason's tri-
umph as an ad writer He may not have
intended it as all ad, but that would
not make his ability any the less. The
man who can unconsciously and unin-
tentionally turn out such work of art
ought to be worth treble the senatorial
salary to any of our big breweries.

ROUGH RIDER AND SNOWMAN.

It is worthy of note just at this time
that number of the hoary yarns about
Roosevelt and the bucking broncho are
being revamped and are, in their new
form. doing more or less effective duty
as campaign literature.
1t was out In Fedora, N. D.. that the
most thrilling Of these touching episodes
took place. In it's original form the story
was sort of harmless affair, resulting
In nothing more serious than the breaking
Of Roosevelt's eyeglasses. But the license
of poetry has been extended to the rela-
ton Of this particular incident, and in its
current form. the broncho is represented
not only as having kicked Teddy's spec
tacIes off, but as having wrought other
and sundry grievous injuries whereby, in
the language Of Chitty on P1eadings, he
was rendered sick, sore, lame and dis
abled.
The ''bucking bronche' is a well estab-
| lished feature of Western American
life. 1t Is notable feature Of
all well ordered Wild West shows.
That which entertained the peo-
pie of st. Paul a day or two ago show
ed the world how effectively real buck
ing broncho can buck. The mere printed
relation is, in comparison with the actual
event, as a tame and wayworn old geld
Ing to the fiery steed Of the plains.
If Roosevelt's performance as a tanner
of the untameable broncho is to figure in
1t not under all the circumstances the
most appropriate and effective course for
him to pursue, to contribute his services
in a professional way as a broncho buster
to one of the various circus exhibitions
now travelling over the country. Lest this
may be regarded as beneath the dignity
Of the governor of great state, 1t might
become desirable to utilize some of the
vast campaign fund. which is at the dis
posal of Mr.. Hanna in the purchase of an
administration Wild West show, in which
Roosevelt might be witnessed at the
small cost of Is cents.
The possibilities of the Wild West show
as campaign institution have been sug-
gested by Gov. Roosevelt's experience
while a candidate for his present Office,
but the methods pursued then were Of the
crudest kind. Col William F. Cody, as a
campaign manager, would. for Gov.
Roosevelt. come nearer to the ideal than
even Boss Plat himself. The realistic ef-
feet, for instance, of the reproduction of
the blind charge on one position on San
Juan hill, which came so near to ending
both the political and military career of
the Republican candidate for vice presi-
dent, when reproduced by Col. Cody with
all the attending effects of red light and
blank cartridges, would be SO great that
all the ill-advised oratory of the candi-
date himself might not quite suffice to
overcome It's encouraging effect
The GIob be accordingly recommends
the Hon. William F. Cody to the highest
personal ana political consideration of
the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, as being
within his peculiar and exclusive sphere,
a campaign manager Of great originality
and reliability.

He'd a Narrow Escape.

John G. Ljungren, assistant engineer at
the state capitol building, received rather
painful injuries in an accident at Fifth
and Minnesota streets yesterday. He was
riding his bicycle and in rounding the
corner collided with a wagon, and later
with a street car.
He was not thrown from his wheel In
the collision with the wagon, but when
the car struck him he was thrown to the
pavement. He received no bruises. save
those incurred by falling to the pave
ment, and his escape from being run
over by the car seems almost miracu-
lous, His bicycle was badly smashed by
the car.
