Judge Hess quotes in the Evening
News from bis interview as published
in the Independent few days ago
and says he did not say that $50 far
as the editor of the Republican
was concerned the postoffice is
high in the air. He also says
he did not say that Congressman
Brick will select man of affairs. one
who has been resident of Marshall
county for considerable time and that
he will not give the persimmon TO some
fellow just because he needs il"
1t will be noticed that the judge
quotes the exact language of the Inde-
pendent and says that he did not say
the words as used by the Independent
in publishing bis interview. He does
not say that be did not IN his interview
use language that conveys the same
meaning All understand that in q
running conversation it is impossible
for anyone to reproduce the exact lam
guage of person interviewed. 1t is
not difficult to reproduce the ideas con-
veyed by one interviewed, even if diff
ferent language is used. In the inde
pendent's article giving Judge Hess
interview no attempt was made to use
his exact language. The Independent
in that interview did convey his ideas
on the matter, all bis apologies in the
News to the contrary notwithstanding.
The judge in the article over his sig
nature IN the News says that there is
no fsctionsl war on. The statement is
as absurd as it is ridiculous. For party
reasons the judge wants the rank and
file of republicans to believe that there
is no bitterness among the leading re-
publicsns, but he knows very we'll that
there is "muss" and serious one at
that. If he don't know it he is more
obtuse than the people of Plymouth

EDITOR CAMPBELL AFTER DURBIN

EDITOR CAMPBELL AFTER DURBIN
The Anderson Herald goes after
Governor Durbin about right. Ed
tor Campbell publishes letter this
week written by Durtin as mana
ger of the paper manufacturing
plant in which Durbin regrets that
he cannot furnish him the low prices
he expects because he (Campbell)
EUYS PAPER FROM HAND TO MOUTH.
Durbin wanted him to buy in car
lots. This is an insult to newspaper
men of the whole state, as Editor
Campbell says. Durbin is said to
have been actuated to write such a
letter because Editor Campbell and
other Anderson publishers had just
previously bought paper of a Wis
consin mill where they saved
sIoo.57 by SO doing.
Campbell adds that from that
time and even before Durbin had
never had a good word for the
Herald. ale never gave it but
SI.5o worth of business ou side of
his daily subscription from the time
the present owner took hold of it
until he wanted to use it to further
his candidacy for governor, and he
has not been receiving the Herald
since ne went to Indianapolis as
governor. He was through with
it when he could use it no longer,
just as he is through with scores of
other friends when they no longer
serve his unscrupulous ambition"

Mueller Fell Down stairs.

Bill Mueller was on "high lonesome
April "a and some time that night fell
down the stairway of the Wolford
building on Center street. He was a
frightful specimen of humanity when
he came 70 his senses at o'clock the
next morning. His eye was black and
blue and entirely swollen shut. His
nose was about the size of Two noses
and there was cosgulsted blood all oveI
his face and ears. His first impulse
that morning was to go to saloon fol-
bracer. Bsreheaded and in the con
dition above described he begged at the
Wolford bar for drink. He said that
some big fellow whom be did not know
had struck him, but upon investigation
it was learned that his injuries were
csused by falling about twenty feet
down a steep stairway.
The Independent as not going to
preach temperance sermon. 1t doesn't
know where Bill Mueller got his whis-
key, but there is no one in plymouth
who does not know Bill Mueller
habits. The man who sold him the
whiskey that night knew at the time
that he was selling to man who was
already intoxicated and the authorities
should see to it that a proper tine is
meted out. Such cases are entirely 100
frequent and the men who are licensed
to sell spirituous liquors should in such
instances as this be taught lesson. If
q saloon cannot thrive except by such
violations of the law, it should be
closed up. These suggestions with all
due respect to the men engaged in the
liquor traffic.

Waite rson Warns Mr.. Bryan.

"Mr. Bryan and His Future" is the
heading of the leading editorial which
appears in the Courier-J ournsl from
the pen of Henry Wstterson. Mr..
Wstterson urges Bryan to devote him
self to the rehabilitation of his party,
warning him that he can maintain his
position as leader only by disinterest-
edness and self sacrifice and by not at
tempting further to exercise autocratic
power" The editor continues:
There is radical difference between
recognizing existing conditions and of
being answerable for their existence.
We may regret the altered situation
raised up by the Spanish war. Wemsy,
as an original proposition, be sverse to
the idea of outlying territory and all
this implies. We may have been
shocked by the presidents change of
policy as to Porto Rico, by the scandals
In Cuba, by the laundering in Manila,
but we cannot deny that, for veal or
woe, we are in possession of Porto Rico
and the Philippines; that we are reg.
nant in Cuba, and that we must either
pack up and come sway-and in doing
so make q confession of national i'm
potency-or else, standing our ground.
proceed with the new and complicated
obligations and duties incident thereto.
In abandoning the Philippines we
yield our vantage ground in the far
East, which is already become the GEN.
ter of the strife of the powers for COM
mercial supremacy. We make what
the world and the ages will hold an ig-
nominious and short-sighted surrender.
for we are entering upon q cycle of
pure commerclalism, whose end will
witness the survival of the fittest; and
since when was any spirited people in.
sensible either to money or empire?
"Wrong, morally wrong" says Mr..
Bryan. Why, on that line all effort
which has gain for Its objects is wrong.
"Out of line with American traditions,
says Mr.. Bryan. Why, every important
movement, from Louisiana purchase to
the abolition Of slavery, might be 80
described. But, right or wrong. they
are facts, and, as an organized body,
what shall the democratic party do
about them?
IL may be that we ought TO deliver
up to the useless sacrifice of the flames
q few more presidential elections in the
interests of cause already lost We
may be of the earth earthly, wanting
in grace; but, somehow, we cannot help
feeling that in this wicked world 1t is
substance, not shadow, that rules.

William j. Bryan says in effect that
he has no intention of seeking third
nomination for the presidency. Mr..
Brysn's announcement is in answer to
an article in an eastern paper specu-
lating on his future plans as political
leader. Mr.. Bryan said:
"I am not planning for another pres
idential nomination; if | were | would
not be editing paper; If ever become
a candidate again it will be because it
seems necessary for the advancement
of the principles to which adhere and
that does not now seem probable. l

tics for several years yet, if live, and
can be relied upon to support those
who as candidates advocate demo
cratic principles and who can be
trusted to enforce them if elected.

matter what man may have said or
done against the ticket in 1896 or in
1900, that man becomes my friend the
moment he accepts democratic princi
pies. Neither have | any disposition to
reward political friends at the expense
of our cause. No matter what man
may have said or done for the ticket in
1896 or in 1900 that man becomes an
opponent the moment be turns against
the democratic principles. Political
battles are fought, not in the past or in
the future, but in the present. The
heretofore cannot be recalled and the
hereafter cannot be anticipated, but
the now is all important"

decision that machine voting is cOnsti-
