aid Mr.. Bryan to make laws?
THE MONEY! rp,7sr Mr.. Bryan has
" o''' vehemently de.
nounced every kind of trust save one
(the "money trust') and about this he
has not word to say. In 1896 he thus
indicated what the "money octopus"
was like:
1--WE are confronted today by the
most gigantic trust that was ever form
ed among men. Talk about trusts in
various articles which we produce, my
friends, all the trusts together fall into
insignificance when compared to the
money trust"
A few days ago some one asked him
how he would construe law relating
to the money trust" He declined to
answer. This was his reply:
II want the republicans who want
that question answered to find out first
what the law requires, and then want
them to know that if elected president
I will enforce that law just as will
enforce the law against trusts, and put
striped clothes on big thieves as we'll as
little thieves. But if you ask me to
construe republican law I reply that I
shall not construe law until it becomes
my duty to enforce it,
It is unprecedented for candidate
for the presidency to make political
distinction in laws.
The president of
the United States is the chief executive
officer. 1t is his duty to faithfully exc
cute alike all the laws of congress-, re-
publican as we'll as democratic laws.
But should the ambition of Mr.. Bryan
be realized the laws of the United
States will all be classified according to
the party which proposed them and he
will have one way of constituting repub-
lican laws and another for democratic
laws. Do the people want narrow,
bigoted, partisan president, who will
look for the label on a statute of con.
gress before he will execute or construe
it?

business and not going out as high
wayman?'
1t is pathetic in the extreme that Mr..
Bryan, who, it is reported. was at one
time student of the law, should have
so completely failed to grasp one of the
most fundamental legal propositions,
viz, the presumption of innocence on
the part of the accused until proven
guilty.
Mr.. BRYAN reverses this principle and
presumes the accused guilty until he
Revolutionary. pio'oS nls ihno'
cence. He pre-.
sumes that every corporation doing bus.
mess in several states, no matter if Or
ganized in a perfectly legal way, no
matter how honest and legitimate the
business may be, is presumed by Mr..
Bryan to be a highwayman, thief or
robber. In other words Mr.. Bryan
would base his prosecution upon the IN.
tent and not upon the overt act. He
assumes that every growing corporation
seeks to extend it's business not for the
purpose of honestly acquiring wealth
along the lines of legitimate enterprise
but is impelled by motives on a par with
those of the man who holds up a train
or robs bank. Every corporation that
should, by selling good goods at low
prices, create demand for those goods
in another state, would, if it attempt
ed to meet this demand, Immediately be
placed under arrest by Officer O'Bryan
on the charge of highway robbery, con.
fined in some dark dingy cell until it
proved that it was not highway rob-
ber. The method just mentioned is the
only way corporation could do busi-
ness outside of the state in which it was
organized. It could not go into an
other state and by force compel the citi-
zens of that state to take it's product
any more than Mr.. Bryan could force
people to take his book if they did not
want it, and he generously admits they
are not compelled to take it.
If Mr.. Bryan was more of lawyer
and less of demagogue he would know
that neither an individual nor cor
poration can be convicted of crime upon
the ground of mere ''intention," unsup-
ported by an overt act to prove the in
tent. When corporation violates the
law it may be prosecuted and convicted
but it cannot be convicted upon the the.
ory of intending to violate the law.
How then could this novel suggestion of
Mr.. Bryan prevent corporations from
entering other states?

WANTS TO ESCAPE SPIRITS.
A Delnented Man Bothered by the
Spirits of tho Drowned Woman.

"A lDel0ent60 Man BOInereO Dy the
spirits OF tho Drowned Woman.
An old man about 60 years of age APP
peared at the sheriff's Office at noon to-
day and asked for assistance in getting
rid of spirits that persisted in bothering
him. The man was John lsentrager,
for whom the police We're searching on
Tuesday afternoon because he was act
ing strangely and was bothering the
residents Of the southeast portion of
town. The sheriff's officers took the
fellow in charge and this afternoon the
insanity commission was convened to
Investigate his condition. Isentrager
says the spirits of the woman found
drowned in the river last week persist
in telling him that she was murdered
by being ch.oroformed and that her
body was then thrown into the river.
All the time that he was being exam-
ined he heard the spirits.
Isentrager was al one time member
OF the Soldiers Home and claims to be-
long at Keokuk. He was ac~sstted to
the Iowa Home eighteen months ago,
but later took discharge and Went to
the institution at Quincy, Ill. A month
ago he returned here and applied for
,readmission, but it then developed that
he was ineligible. He has been hanging
about the Home and the city since.
AS IseEtrager had application papers
for admission to the Leayenworth Ma

commissioners to buy him a. ticket to

SHOT in THE EAR
Daniel Baer, q Young German Far.
mer Living Near Rhodes, At.
tempts Suicide.
Puts q 32.Caliber Bullet Into His
Ear Financial Trouble and
Drink the Cause.

Daniel Baer, German farmer, aged
% years, attempted suicide at about Z
O'clock. Tuesday evening at the home Of
his father, John Baer. three miles south
of Rhodes by shooting himself in the
right ear with a 32-caliber revolver.
Financial trouble, which the young
man tried to drown by indulgence In the
flowing bowl, is assigned as the proba-
bile cause for the deed. Baer is said to
have been under the influence of liquor
at the time and it is also stated that
once, While in similar state, he made
an attempt to take his life.
The ball has been located by phyS-
clans. who were called Immediately af
ter the shooting, but a thorough prob
ing failed to secure 1t. 1t is lodged in
the large bone below the ear. Baer has
been conscious all the time since the
shooting, and unless inflammation sets
in 1t is not thought the wound will
prove fatal.
Baer does not state the exact cause of
his attempt upon his life. but from what
can be learned it is thought that a re-.
cent financial trouble had more to do
with it than any other one. thing. The
young man attempted farming on his
own responsibility lost about all the
property he had and has OF. late, been
pretty hard pressed by his creditors. He
recently had quarre! with his father.
who upbraided him for his recklessness
and some of his actions, and this. it is
thought. drove him to act as he did.
Baer was in Rhodes Tuesday. in COM
pany with his father and was driven
home With the elder Baer by c. F. Hill

home. and while the elder Baer and Mr..
Hildreth We're looking at some stock,
young Baer went indoors, lay down on a
bed and fired the shot It was not un-

covered to have shot himself.
