Bede's Pointers on Puerto RiCO'

What the Puerto Ricans want is
not charity but opportunity
The republican press OF the coun-
try is for doing our "plain duty" to
Puerto Rico.
To soften the blow of the tax on
Puerto Ricans, congress has given
them the two millions we have al
ready taken from them.
Speaker Henderson has added fuel
to the flames by calling such men as
Cush Davis and Knute Nelson COW
ards. They are lions, both of them.
Page Morris says the tariff against
Puerto Rico is the richest thing on
earth, but Senator Davis declares it
to be "pernicious mockery." Which
will you follow?
They tell us this Puerto Rico free
trade fuss is all a sentiment. Well,
that's all the difference there is be-
tween the flag aud rag, and we will
stand for old Glory, God bless it.
The president didn't know thing
about Puerto Rico when he wrote his
message in December according to
the congressional explanations now
in vogue. Too bad we have such an
ignorant executive.
We would like to be near enough
to hear Frank Eddy convince ATS out
of 500 people that it is best to tax
bread and let rum go free. After one
lesson we would undertake to work
immigration for Ke lucky.
The Puerto Ricans are SO poor that
we must tax them for their own sup
port. We propose to collect dollar
from them, give the officer that col
lects it quarter, and hand back rs
cents. And this is craftsmanship
The Puerto Ricans say if we would
give them free trade with the United
States and put our Dingley tariff law
between them and Europe, leaving
them on the same basis as ourselves.
they could work out their own saliva
ton.
The past few weeks have been aw
fully hard on the postmaster editors,
as they didn't know how their guard
ians would vote in congress, and
couldn't therefore strike very def
mite attitude on the Puerto Rican
question
Free rum and free tobacco, taxed
meats, taxed clothing, medicines,
boots and shoes that is the provis-
ion of the house bill which we had
before us, said Senator Davis. "Was
there ever such monstrous PROPOSE
ton? Not one cent of tax levied
upon rum and tobacco consumed in
the island of Porto Rico, while bread
stuff and the necessities of life were
to bear taxes. That was the sort of
bill which the house sent over to US,
and which they have been asking us
to coucur in"
In Jim Tawney's first explanation,
written March |, he said the Peep

WITH the repeated British reverses

The Breckenridge Telegram has
the following good words for Hon
Ezra q. Valentine, who will contest
with the present incumbent and DR.,
Cole, of Fergus Falls, for the Re
publican nomination for congress-
man for this district:
The Red River Valley owes more
to Hon. E. G.. Valentine than it can
ever repay, for the work which he has
done for it as chairman of the drain
age commission. Land that was con-
sidered worthless has been reclaimed
and rendered valuable and all section
benefited to greater or lesser ex-
tent. He has spent great deal of
time and money in this work and
asked nothing in return. He is now
taking an active interest in the new
project for holding back the head
waters of the Red River in reservoirs
so as to prevent the disastrous spring
freshets which have caused 80 much
damage in the past, AS member
of congress he would be in position
to carry this project through success

The republican party can turn
down its old leaders and elevate new
ones without self destruction. The
ways and means committee in con-
gress is the steering committee of the
party in power. If it strays off into
a wrong road it must have the wis
dom and courage to return or else it
will ruin itself if not the party, The
moment Tawney and Davis come to-
gether on proposition which the
rank and file of the party can support
that moment is harmony restored It
is possible for the party to win in the
coming elections without Tawney,
put it is impossible for the Tawney
actionto win in this state without

The Coanr d,AIana.

The latest development in the Co.
eur d'Alene investigation by the mill
tary committee of the house of repre-
sentatives is that the petition for the
continuance of martial law, bearing
5000 names and purporting to repre-
sent the people of Shoshone county,
is made up largely of forged or fcti-
tious names. This petition was
brought to Washington by the state
authorities and shown to President
Mckinley and to public men generally
as sort of justification of the high
handed despotism which these lawless
officials have imposed on the people
of the county. The charge that the
names are fictitious or false is sup
ported by a mum her of affidavits. but the
republican mem bers of the committee
whose purpose it has been throughout
to stifie the investigation and to gar
BILE the facts elected by it. voted that
the affidavits should not be admitted
in evidence. This is n most scauda-
lous perversion of the power OF the
majority. The petition itself having
been admitted in evidence. the repub-
licans now, simply because they have
a working majority of three, declare
that proof of its entire falsity shall
not be admitted. 1t is n most amaz-
ing thing that even the insolence of
the majority could be carried so far.
However. it is on a par wiki the
action of the republican members
throughout this most important in
vestigation. They have, by their
acts, accepted for their party entire
responsibility for the lawlessness and
unconstitutional aggre ssions and the
high-handed despotism of Gov.
Steunenberg, Bartlett Sinclair and
Brig. Gen. Merriam. The demo-
Gratis on the committee and in con-
gress have wisely taken the view that
Steunenberg must be repudiated. 1t
is only too evident that the ma jority of
members of the house committee will
bring in a withdrawing report, but
the minority report prepared by such
able lawyers as Representatives Lentz
and Sulzer will form a strong and
telling indictment of the methods in
vogue in Idaho. The whole story is
one Of fight on organized labor in
the interests of single monopoly
conducted by state officials in viola
ton of their oaths of office and APP

administration both in the White
House and in the department of war

The Ohio Trust Plank.

Representative Grosvenor and
Senator Hanna. both of Ohio. have on
frequent occasions voiced their con-
victions that the trust question was
one for the states to settle. Estates
can regulate and suppress trusts if
they like. Wait till you see how Ohio
handles the subject" was one OF Rep
resentative Grosvenor's noteworthy
utterances.
If the antitrust plank in the plat
form of the Ohio repu blicans gives fair
idea of how Ohio proposes to handle the
trust question those who have been
hanging on Grosvenor's words can
claim with justice that they get q
stone instead of bread.
I'VE insist" says this plank, that
injurious combinations shall be for
hidden and so-called trusts shall be so
regulated from time to time, and be
restricted as to guarantee immunity
from hurtful monopoly, and assure
fair treatment and protection to all
competing industries"
1t is understood that the Ohio plat
form is an advance edition of the re-
publican platform. says the st. Louis
Republic. In this plank appears the
hand of the man who declared ::
"Trusts.don't do any.harm. they ought
to be left alone" The trace also of
the prospective $50, 900. 600 campaign
contribution which, it is reported, has
been assessed against the trusts by
Mark Hanna can be seen in this plank.
1t would never do to speak too def
nitely on a subject so close to the
very existence of the agency that
pays the freight for the republican
party.

that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
