TEDDY MIXED IN HIS DATES
AGAIN.

The Republicans in Congress in ac-
cord with the recommendation of
President Mckinley, introduced bill
for permanent standing dInly Of 1907

the war with spain and the trouble in
the Philippines, and this odious mea 5

tory and the entire country without
regard to party feeling rejoiced. Now
comes along Teddy Roosevelt with his
usual propensity for laundering and
getting mixed in his dates, as we have
several times shown, and states in a
public speech that the hill to perma-
nently increase the regular army to
100000 men was introduced by Senator
Cockrell, of Missouri, supporter Of
Bryan and was voted for by the pdtrj-
otto Democrats of both houses. 1t has

BRYAN IN OHIO.

Mr.. Bryan's journey through Ohio
has been a succession of monstrous
meetings, marked by unparalleled en-
husiasm. Everywhere he has left his
telling influence and his own words
can best tell his Impressions:
The meetings in Ohio have
been large and the audiences
have everywhere shown a deep
interest in the issues before the
country. Gains are reported in
all the counties. 1 am pleased
and satisfied with the outlook

BRYAN'S IDEA OF A MODEL
REPUBLIC.

L can conceive of a national
destiny surprising the glOr-
les of the present and the
pasta destiny which meets
the responsibilities Of today
ana measures up to the pos
sibilities of the future.
Behold republic, resting
securely upon the foundation
stones quarried by revOlu-
tionary patriots from the
mountain of eternal truth
a republic applying in prac-
tIce and prOclaiming to the
world the self-evident pro-
position, that all men are
created equal, that they are
endowed with inalienable
rights that governments
are instituted among men to
secure these rights, and that
governments derive their
just powers from the con-
sent of the governed.
Behold a republic in which
civil and religious liberty
stimulate all to earnest en-
deaVOr and in which the law
restraints every hand uplifted
fora neighbours injury-a re-
public in which every citizen
is a sovereign, but in which
nOOne cares to weara crown.
Behold a republic standing
erect while empires all
around are bowed beneath
the weight of their own arm
aments-a republic whose
flag is loved while other
flags are only feared.
Behold a republic increasing
in population, in wealth, in
strength and influence
solving the problems of civil
lizatiOn and fastening the
coming of an universal
brOtherhOOd-a republic
which shakes thrones and
dissOlves aristOcracies by its
silent example and gives
light and inspiration to
those who sit in darkness.
Behold a republic gradually
but surely becoming the
supreme moral factor i'm the
worlds progress and the ac-
cepted arbiter of the worlds
disputes-a republic whose
history, like the path of the
just, sis as the shining light
that shineth more and more
until the perfect day."

WE acknowledge the receipt from our
friend G.. f. Lock, formerly of this
county, of a copy of the Gage County
Democrat, a bright newspaper, pub
lished at Beatrice, Neb This particu-
lar issue deals with the visit of Teddy
Roosevelt to that town recently. 1t
says the affair was complete farce, or
to use its own words, "no Jim crow
circus ever put out more gorgeous adj
vertising aud exhibited a ranker fake. 4"
That seems to be the general sentiment
in the States through which he has
travelled.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY is certainly
the "silent man" of the campaign.
He probably got his ORDERS" for a
man who inaugurated benevolent as

"plain duty" in Porto Rico, would GER
be pressed hard for explanations all
along the line. So wisely the bosses
have gotten others to do his talking for
him. whilst he studies the political sit
uation from the 'green room" in the
White House and the front porch" at
Canton. If he puts his ear to the
ground at either of these places, he can
hear something in the distance that
portends dire trouble for him in No

SUPREME COURT TO ACT ON
CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS
AND PORTO RICO.

1t may he purely circumstantal, but
the fact is the supreme Court has adj
vanced the case of Nicely, Rathbone,
ct al, in the Cuban postal frauds, and
that involving the extension of the
Constitution over Porto Rico, for the
second week in Novemher-ufIcr the
election. Public attention has been di-
verttd from these matters during the
campaign, especially the former and
the administration has certainly taken
advantage Of the suspension of popular
feeling to put the case out of the way
for the time being, at least. But the
people have not forgotten these colonial
carpet baggers-Neely, Rathbone, ct al.
and will register protest against u
government that make such crimes a
possibility.
The decision of the court in the Porto
Rican tariff case is most important
one and the decision will be anXiously
awaited Not only will the constitu-
tional status of Porto Rico and its in
habitants be defined, but also the true
relation to the United States of Hawaii
and the Philippines. AS the Phila-
delphia Record wisely remarks;

English Bankers that Nc
Kinley's War Chest Will

Them.

Horace Townsend sends a spec.
ial cable to the Philadelphia
Record from London on Saturday
as follows:
The most interesting matter of
discussion in England now is the
coming Presidential election in
the United States. In CONNER
cial circles, especially, great in
terest is manifested, and a Re.
publican congressman, who is
a notable figure in the American

occupation at present in assuring
prominent tinanciers that British
money interests will suffer Sc
verely if Bryan shall be elected,
limiting that the Republican war
chest will not object to receiving
replenishment from this side of
the Atlantic.

The article is in contradiction
of the statements of Mr.. SmaIley,

every day strongly tinged with
Republican fervOr.
The article practically ira
verses the whole Of Mr.. Smalley's
statements Of the last few weeks,

"the election of Mr.. Bryan in
November is highly probable"
He declares that President
Mekinley's policy, in all its main
features, has been dictated by
po"oIIul financial interests.

course contrary to what he thinks
is best, and continues: "In spite
OF the ince-sant and unparalleled

"The Republican attacks help
him. They are better than vol.

he is ''sincere, straightforward,

expression Of his hope and belief
that Mr.. Bryan will be the next

BRYAN'S IDEA OF EXPAN.
SION.

At Mansfield, Ohio, Mr.. Bryan gave
his idea. and to all unbiased minds,
the true idea of expansion as follows:
1.-THE Republicans try to hide
behind the term expansion.
They do not defend Imperialism.
They say they believe in eXpan-
sion, and they rob- the grave to
get some dignity to lend to their
cause. They try to make it APP
pear that Jefferson would en-
dOrSe II policy such as the Re
publican party now stands for.
Jefferson took in lands, the Re-
publicanS want to take i'll peO-
pie. Jefferson took in territory
that people could settle upon,
the Republicans want to take
in races for our army to fall
upon. jefferson brought i'll
land out of which ten great
States have been made, but no
Republican expects to make Il
state out Of the Philippine Is
lands. l believe in expansion,
when expansion takes in land
upon which American people
can settle, land that can be built
into States. believe in cXpan-
sion, when expansion brings us
people who want to come in and
whom we want, but | believe
expansion ought to be like mar
riage, satisfactory to both sides
and not a One-sided contract"
These words ring like true metal on
the ears and strike home in the heart.
They draw the line sharply between
the wild, extravagaut and illegitimate
policy of colonial and imperial eXpan-
sion on the one hand, and constitutions
al and justifiable expansion at home.

ONE thing the Republicans never
think possible and that is the loss of
Ohio to Mckinley. 1t, however, has
entered his head and he has been pay
ing long visit to Canton recently.
What happened to Cleveland in New
York in 1883 and to Harrison in Indi-
ana in 1892 is even more likely to hap
pen to Mckinley in Ohio in 1900.

lNDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 12.-The
Republicans of Indiana asked
Benjamin Harrison for bread to
sustain them, and he has given
them stone; they prayed him to
give them strong political slim
ulant, and he has given them a
milkshake.
The Republicans of the State
are in gloom, knowing the great
political influence Mr.. Harrison
exercises here. The State Com
mittee had hoped the former
President would make at least one
campaign address, and they
planned to coax him into several
short speeches.
The Democrats had made ar
engagements to counterfeit what.
ever Mr.. Harrison might say in
his speeches.
But now, to their great joy,
comes that distinguished mans
interview with himself, in which
he says he will make no speeches
for Mckinley.
And i'll that interview, as every
voter in the United States can
read, Mr.. Harrison expresses this
deliberate opinion.
The attitude Of the Republic
can party toward Porto Rico
is absolutely wrong; the Demo-
cratic contention for Porto
Rico is entirely right;
Mr., Harrison is one of the pre-
eminent constitutional lawyers
in this country. He carefully
weighs his words before he utters
them.
Yet in his interview with him
self this distinguished lawyer,
who would not knowingly put
into his brief anything that
gives his adversary an opening,
tells the country that while the
Porto Rico bill was pending he
differed in his opinion of it's con
stitutiOnality with President Nc.
Kinley and the majority of Re
publicans in Congress.
And he goes out of his way to
remind the country that he still
believes that the Republicans
in passing the Porto Rico bill
violated the Constitution.
81 stand where | did in 1862
says the eX-President.
The issues of Imperialism and
militarism did not confront the
people in 1896.
Now, when they are paramount,
eX-President Harrison declares
of the Porto Rico bill, the very
embodiment of militarism and
Imperialism, which taxes without
representation, which governs
without consent: 81 still believe
the bill is grave departure
from right principles"
In other words, if Mr.. Harri-
son had been President when
the Porto Rico bill was passed
he would have vetoed it.
Republicans here reluctantly
admit that Mr.. Harrison has done
much harm.

BREWERY LICENSE LAW.
New One Adopted by Terre Haute
COuncil-Merry Fight I'm Prospect.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March S.-The City
Council has passed a new ordinance impos-
ing a license fee of 81, 600 on breweries and
brewery agents. The purpose is to over
come the objection found by Judge Baker,
Of the United States Court. when he held
the former ordinance to be invalid, and
which was the same as the one passed by
the Indianapolis Council and held to be
valid by the State Supreme Court. Judge
Baker held that the ordinance was purely
a revenue measure and as such was in vio-
lation of the InterState-commerce law as
amended in 1891, to meet the objections OF
the United States Supreme Court in what
is known as the Iowa case, by granting to
States the right to restrict and regulate
the traffic If lone in the exercise of the
police power of the State.
The former ordinance did not have any
provision exercising police power. The new
established within 300 feet of a school or
church, that the agent shall not sell to a
saloon-keeper who has not taken out a city
license, and that once every sixty days a
report of the sales, with the names of GUS
toners, shall be made to the city authOri-
ties. The lawyers representing the agents
of breweries in other States say they will
resist this ordinance, and will carry the
case to the Federal Supreme Court, if
necessary.
