An Unnecessary ApoloeH

The apology of William L. Baker, of
Chicago, for his intention to vote the
Mckinley ticket this fall, and which
has been widely published in republic
can newspapers, was both unconscien-
tious and unnecessary. Mr. Baker has
been successful board of trade man;
he has become millionaire; he has
acquired large interests in trusts.
These purely selfish interests of his led
him to join the republicans four years
ago. He had been democrat, ostensi-
bly,, before that time. 1t is not likely
that any one expected him to return to
the party now. Why should he His
personal interests are opposed to dem
ocratic principles. He is man whose
personal interests override all patriotic
considerations. Unless he had unload
ed large amount of seltishness since
1896 and taken on in its stead, a con-
signment of patriotism, he could not
stand differently this year from four
years ago.
Nor has this totally needless apology
the semblance of sincerity, for it gives
no reason, or argument, in justification
of his proposed vote for Mckinley. 1t
merely contains several assertions,
briefly stated-assertions that will
hardly lind acceptance with well mean
ing republicans--Ssz evidently false.
splenetic, and i'll considered are they.
These assertions which he makes no
attempt whatever to prove are briefly
as follows:
First. All the present leaders of the
democracy are public enemies, not mis-
takenly so, but purposely so, Bryan
being the chief one, who would not
hesitate to wreck every industry in the
country to gain the presidency, and
who is ''the greatest imperialist since
the days of Napoleon who deluged
Europe in blood to reach a throne"
Second The opposition to imperial
ism is not sincere 'lt is an absolute
sham, silly and hypocritical inven-
ton to divert attention from their revo-
lutionary purposes
Third Even free trade has given
way" and in its place We have nothing
better than war against the trusts.
The latter statement is true enough.
but we hardly believe there are many,
republicans even, who viii view it with
the same alarm expressed by MIR. Baker
The publication of such letter, aad
from such man. may be wise politics
for the republicans, but we doubt it. 1t
is not likely that a man who accuses
all the present leaders of the democratic
party with being at heart public enc
mics engaged in an attempt to hood
wink the American people by a sham
issue in order that they may carry out
revolutionary purposes. viii not have
much Of an audience even from repIbli-
cans, or viii be credited with any better
motives than the insincerity of which
he so giibly accuses half the people of
the country.
Mr.. Baker does not conclude this lit

THE ART EXHIBIT.

Owing TO the floods the arrival of the
A. w. Elson Cos art exhibit was so de-
layed that the pictures were not all
hung until Monday evening. At
half past seven o'clock, Monday even
ing, all the public school teachers were
invited to the Universalist church to IN
spect the exhibit before its opening,
Tuesday, to the public in general. The
collection includes only photographs
and engravings from the originals, and
only such as the company thinks ought
to be in the schools. The pictures of
Egyptian architecture, sculpture, ETC.,
were taken by man sent out for that
purpose. The rise and progress of
Roman art is Illustrated by photographs
taken from originals by a professor
sent out from the Chicago University.
Another interesting group is that of
English works The Landseer's shown
are from Thomas Landseer's original
plates in the national gallery. French,
German, Flemish, Dutch, Italian and
Spanish works of art are shown.
The A. W. Elson Cos representative
will be on hand all the time to explain

The recent success of the philippine
troops, assures the condition predicted
by the PILOT more than once. If we
carry out the foolish and suicidal policy
of the administration, as of course we
will if McKinly is reelected. We must
have an army of at least 100000 men
and we must have it ut once. That
means conscription. Every man who
votes for Mckinley votes to have the
young men of the country drafted to
sight and die of fever and bullets in the
PHILIPPINES, in war of criminal agrees
sion,' war contrary to the American
declaration of independence, a policy
which will get the United States into
the European tangle, and render neces-
sary the maintenance of large stand
ing army.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1900-10-09

THE old $50 fraudulent order for manu-
featured goods subject to countermand
if Mckinley is not reelected is being
played again. In 1896 the manufacture
ers receiving this sort of order, if they
were republicans, pretended to be ter
ribly frightened. So frightened were
they that they took their employees into
their confidence and communicated
their fears to them. The consequence
was that the employees took fright too,
and as this fraud was practiced just be-
fore election Mckinley received ma
jority. But the times remained bad
and even grew worse for year or two
after Mckinley was elected; the orders
were countermanded Notwithstanding
his election, hundreds of thousands of
men were thrown out of employment
that winter who had been thus fooled.
Have they forgotten? viii the same
trick catch them SO soon again? Who
knows?

tie mud-slinging effort of his without
calling democrats anarchists" Indeed
to read his letter and find how worried
he seems to be about free silver and
1.-THE gold standard and spopulists and
anarchists" and revolutionary pur-
poses and SIS to / and lawlessness, !"
these are quotations from his letter.
one might suspect that he had gone
crazy about these things in 1896. and
was still a monomaniac, but such is not
the case. He Is simply a selfish man,
who deems politics a mere plaything,
so far as the masses are concerned, and
so far as the monied class is concerned,
a mere means of subscribing selfish in
terests. To such mind sincerity is so
utter stranger that he does not be-
lieve it exists, and so everything that
has the appearance of sincerity. whether
it be genuine or false, looks alike to
him, and is to his blunted moral vision
nothing but "hypocricy,' and so he
calls it that.
And the pity of it is that there are in
this country, nSw. not few men whose
moral sense is just as obtuse as this
man, Bakers. and who are in posi-
ton TO do, and are doing. much harm
in the decentralization of public opinion.
Evil minds love company, as well as
does misery, and other birds of
feather" Baker. and his sort, would
enjoy themselves better if all men were
as stunted morally as they are them
selves. Being disinclined TO attempt
raising himself TO higher plane, be-
cause be thinks il all myth and sham,
he would like to have his fellowmen
come down from their, to him foolish,
ideals and accept the world as being
merely selfish. and all sincerity as be-
ing a mere nickname for hypocrisy.

Is it the Last Battle ?

We neither concur in nor approve
the idea sometimes expressed by demo-
Gratis, that now or never is the time to
put down the evil suirits of monopoly
and militarism in the United States
1t is true that good thing can not be
done much too soon, and.therefore now
| is the best time, for if those evils are
now put down much suffering and
wrong to innocent persons will be
ayerted. But it may be that the Ameri-
can people are not fully awake to the
dangers that beset them. Alarge num-
Der of the voters may be at present
unable to realize that there are such
dangers as these; they may think these
things are only campaign bug-a-boos.
There may be enough of this class of
voters to turn the election in favor of
Mckinley
What then Is that to be the end
by no means, for, then these threatened
dangers will be upon us. We will then
have monopoly and militarism. The
trusts will have full swing and charge
us their own prices, as they do now,
only more so. The army will be largely
increased to complete the subjugation
of the Philippine islands and to keep
them in subsection Every hamlet in
the land will have its quota of young
men in that distant army. Many of
those voters who now think militarism
sham issue will then know and feel
the crushing truth of what they now
disbelieve. Four years of this state of
things will probably be enough to open
their eyes, and they will then be ready
to bury the politicians of the republican
party under such landslide of popular
disfavor that they will never be dis
inferred. The prospects for demo-
cratic success are bright today but not
so assured as they will be if the rerubli7a
cans should be returned to another
four years of power, for, in the latter
case the voters will certainly get their
eyes opened before another presiden-
tial election. But what if, in the mean
time, an attempt be made to overthrow
the republic and establish monarchy
And this is by no means an impossible
ty, forit will transpire, before the end
of another four years of republican rule,
that the people will be so aroused and
excited against them that trusts and
imperialists will see clearly their last
and only hope of retaining power will
be to establish a monarchy. If in the
meantime they should increase the
standing army sufficiently to execute
that purpose there can be little doubt
their desire would be to make this
change. There are, even now, writers
in magazines, who favor the change to
monarchy, and have plainly stated
their reasons. But there are thousands
of trust magnates who have not ex-
pressed this opinion publicly, who hold
it, and would hail the change to
monarchy with gladness So far as
the army is concerned the experience
OF mankind is that, as general thing,
it will obey its officers, without ques-
ton
If Mckinley is reelected, and if the
government is not changed into a
monarchy during his second term it
will be many decade before the adj
vocates of Monarchy will have another
such an opportunity. Will they throw
away this one if they get it The next
four years may bring the most interest
ing crisis Of our history

IT is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good" says an old proverb And this
country had, last week, an illustration
of this. For it surely is not good
thing for the American people that the
party in power should be in league with
the trusts, and yet the fact that it is
was just what enabled Hanna to dictate
to the coal trust in New York city, a
peace between the trust and its lao, 900
striking miners, by which the miners
obtain the greater part of their demands
and employment instead of starvation
and death by freezing, which would
assuredly have been their lot the COM
ing winter if it had not happened to be
near election day. This shows that the
best time to strike is just before cleo
ton. 1t was a dangerous precedent
for Hanna to establish, but it probably
looked to him like desperate case.

Louis Bohmrich by the republican state
press, because he showed his loyalty to
America and American ideas, is bound
