any lesser war. Nevertheless. not a
little good has been done even by such
struggles as that which ended in en-
surfing independence to Cuba and In
giving to the Philippines a freedom to

LEr JUsTTcF % DONE.

An eastern paper became facetious
over the recent business venture Of Mr..
Bryan. and Democratic paper in Chi
cage copies the article with evident rel
ish- The first cause Of these remarks
is that Mr. Bryan has purchased an
eastern paper publishing about the
same matter as does the Commoner.
Now. if Mr.. Bryan had not spent so
much time in assailing combinations
and trusts. nothing would have been
said Of the consolidation Of another pa
per with his own. His purchase simply
shows that while Mr.. Bryan denounces
combinations, when it comes to getting
rid Of a competitor he is as eager to do
It as is the head Of the steel or the coal
oil combination. Mr.. Bryan saw that
the paper which he purchased would
probably interfere with the influence
and prosperity of his Commoner- The
competing publisher might reduce the
price or offer a premium to get sub
scribers to the injury Of Mr.. Bryan's
venture. So he bought up the competi-
tor and adds its subscription list to that
OF the Commoner. If there were half
dozen papers trying to occupy the same
field as the Commoner, Mr. Bryan
would have purchased them if he could,
because. like Mr.. Rockefeller or Mr..
Pierpont Morgan, he would get rid Of
every competitor to the end that he
may manage the business at a profit

conveyance was the 'hoodIum" wagon.
The object of the trip was to find out

The work of repairing the broken
