trary government Of a minority without
sovereignty and authority on our part
and with only the embarrassment of a
protectorate which draws us into their
troubles without the power Of prevent
ing them.
"Those who profess to distrust the
liberal and honorable purposes of the
administration in its treatment Of the
Philippines are not justified. Imperial
ism has no place in it's creed or con-
duct. Freedom is a rock upon which
the Republican party was builded and
now rests. Liberty is the great Republi-
can doctrine for which the people went
to war and for which million lives
were offered and billions of dollars were
expended to make 1t lawful legacy of
all without the consent of master or
slave. There is a stran OF ill-concealed
hypocrisy in the anxiety to extend the
constitutional guarantees to the people
of the Philippines, while their nulli-
fication is openly advocated at home.
Our opponents may distrust themselves,
but they have no right to discredit the
good faith and patriotism Of the major
ity Of the people, who are opposing
them; thev may fear the worst form OF
imperialism with the helpless Filipinos
In their hands; but II they do, 1t is be-
cause they have parted with the spirit
and faith Of the fathers and have lost

Bryan's Address.

The address of Mr.. Bryan at India
napolis, last week, at the meeting for
formal notification of his nomination
for President, appears in full in this
issue and every line should be read
and every sentiment expressed pom
dered over by our readers. 1t is a
mastery presentation of the import.
ant, not to say, alarming, conditions
which now press forward for solution.
1t is one of the most remarkable pa
pers written for plainness of statement
and clearness of reasoning. Abraham
Lincoln, who was so noted for lucidity
of expression, never excelled it during
the time when the fate of the nation
hung upon the words he uttered. 1t
is the most convincing argument ever
made by man in favor of the funda-
mental principles of our government,
freedom, right and justice.
Nobody who reads the presentation
of the question of imperialism can for
a moment doubt the entire sincerity
of its author. Evident care has been
taken to state facts just as they exist,
and no effort made to pervert their
meaning or to attach to them Sc
quence that is not plainly apparent.
Read it, and see if you do not agree
with that opinion of its merits.

his pale.faced brother OF the P.-I.
He seems t" feel very sure that Bryan
will carry New York and Illinois and
he elected He said:
Bryan Will carry Nrw York State
and Illinois with most wonderful major
tiles. He is gaining strength every dav.
Oh, no; these are not the only States We
will carry. The east is Bryan in al
most every State.
We only expect to have II battle in
four Stairs-Ohio, Indiana, Michigan
aud Wisconsin. There will be fights
there, and Bryan will carry three States
Ill good style. Ohio may go Republi-
can. You remember how close it was
in Ohio in 1896. Well, Mckinley has
lost 10000 votes there since then, and
Bryan has made them.
In the west Well, now, | am from
New York, and don't know very much
about the west. The elimination of the
silver question will cut no figure here
Then again, Mr.. Bryan does not elimi-
nate silver. He does realize that, even
should he be elected, he will be power
less for four years.
The people of the United States,
with the exception OF those living in the
Pacific coast States, are tired of this
Philippine question. They want to get
rid of the islands. They are not ours
and we won't have them. They say
this all over the country, except in Wash
ington, Oregon and California. In Mon.
tana W. A. Clark says we are all right,
and l guess he knows.
" Now, there is one thing l want to
tell you. The Republican party has
lost, throughout every State in the
Union. the German and Irish vote
How could it help it, with the evidence
at hand of pro-English administration
Hay, without any exception, is the wors t
Secretary of State we have ever had.
Bryan is sure to be the next Presi-
dent, and then there will be no more
stealing of government funds or frauds
similar to those committed in Cuba"

A TRAVELLING FoRTREss.-An Eng
lish inventor at the head of q syndi.
cate for manufacture of high-speed
automobiles, by the name of Penning-
ton, has devised an armor.clad vehicle,
resembling an immense turtle in form,
which will probably revolutionize
army assaults by land. 1t carries two
rapid-fire guns protected by armored
turrets, in which four men find suffi.
cient room to handle them, even when
the machine is moving at high rate
of speed, which approximates fifty
miles per hour. These land monitors
can be made big and strong enough to
resemble a battle-ship on dry land,
and it is expected to be absolutely i'm
pregnable to ordinary attacks. 1t will
be able to batter its way through any
thing almost which meets it in battle
array. Gasoline is the fuel used for
the motor. The English government,
it is said, has already placed an order
with the inventor for several of these
fighting machines.

Great Railroad Magnate Dead.

c. =. Huntington, the mul.i-mil-
lionalre and railroad man, died Mon
day night, at Pine Knot camp, in the
Adirondacks, on Racquette Lake, N.
y. The cause was heart trouble.
Coils Potter Huntington was born in
Harwinton. Litchfield county. Conn.,,
Oct. Odd, 1921. He was educated in Il
local school, and at the a.e ui four
teen started out in life to earn his own
living. After several years spent in
odd jobs he formed partnership with
his brother in mercantile pursuits, at
Oneonta, y. y. In 1913 the brothers
made a shipment of goods to Califor-
nia, which Coils followed in March OF
that year. He began business in a
tent at Sacramento, dealing in miners
supplies. He afterwards opened q
large hardware store in that city with
Mark Hopkins for partner, and in
1850 matured a plan for "a transconti-
mental railroad, and Leland Stanford
and Charles Crocker united with him
and his partner in making survey
across the Sierra Nevada mountains.
These five men organized the Cen.
trail Pacific Railroad Co., with Mr..
Stanford as President, C. P. Hunting
ton, Vice President and Mark Hop
kins for Treasurer. They secured a
grant from Congress to aid in its con.
struction. Mr.. H. planned and per-
fected the whole California railroad
system, which extends over 5000
miles Of steel track, and built an At
lantic system, which by the Central
Pacific and the Chesapeake and Ohio,
forms a continuous line 1000 miles
long. from San Francisco to Newport
News, and developed an aggregate OF
$1,000 miles of steam water lines, in
Guiding the route to China and Japan.
He afterwards became President of the
Southern and Central Pacific railway
companies, of the Guatemala Central
Railroad and the Pacific Mail Steam
ship companies. His shipyards and
drydocks at Newport News are said to
be the finest in the world.
Mr.. Huntington was likewise one OF
the largest land owners in the coun.
try, and his wealth is estimated on
Wall street at from $l20OO,OOO to
$40,OOO,OOO. Russell Sage places it at
$2O.OOO,OOO, which is probably nearly
correct.
A special train carried the body to
New York City, Wednesday, for inter.
ment. 1t is thought that E. f. Hunt
ington, a nephew of the deceased, who
has been his personal representative
in San Francisco, will succeed to his
uncle's vast possessions.

RINGLING's circus was barred from
Portland by act of the City Council.
The people are getting up big show
themselves, in their Street Carnival,
and did not want a rival attraction to
receive the benefit of their advertising.
So they ran the license fee up to $12,-
600 day, and that settled it. The
Ringlings are no "hogs"-they know
when they have enough, and quietly
passed out, instead of attempting to
run bluff.

MAJOR E. Graft, a Commissioner OF
Education, who has spent two years
in Porto Rico, in an article in the N.
Y. Independent. says: 1.-THE whole
mass of the population of that island,
million in number, are slowly starv-
ing to death. Their soil is rich, but
not one-tenth of it under cultivation.
The only explanation of the matter is,
that they have so long lived under
bad laws, and unfavorable economic
conditions, that now, in their extreme
poverty and ignorance. they do not
know enough to draw their food from
the earth. Their diet is Goldfish,
beans, wild fruits and roots"

Z l place the philosophy of Franklin
against the sordid doctrine OF those
who would put q price upon the head
of an American soldier and justify q
war OF conquest upon the ground that
it will pay. The Democratic party is
in favor of the expansion of trade. It
would extend outside by every legiti-
mate and peaceful means but it is
not willing to make merchandise of
human blood.
But war OF conquest is as unwise
as it is unrighteous. A harbor and
coaling station in the Philippines
would answer every trade and military
necessity, and such concession could
have been secured at any time without
difficulty.
1t is not necessary to own people in
order to trade With them. We carry
on trade to-day with every part of the
world and our commerce has expanded
more rapidly than the commerce of
any European Empire. We do not
own Japan and China, but we trade
with their people. We have not ab-
sorbed the Republics of Central and
South America, but we trade with
them. 1t has not been necessary to
have any political connections with
Canada or the nations of Europe in
order to trade with them. Trade
cannot be permanently profitable I'M
less it is voluntary. When trade is Sc.
cured by force, the cost OF securing it
and retaining it must be taken out of
the profits, and the profits are never
large enough to cover the expense.
Such system would never be defend
ed but for the fact that the expense is
borne by all the people, while the
profits are enjoyed by the few.
