an early day give public expression to
my gratitude. II you and Mrs. Jones
find it possible to come by Lincoln, on
your way home, we shall be glad to see

NV. j. BRYAN
Mr.. Bryan did give public expression
Of his gratitude to his campaign man.
ayers In q letter which the Associated
Press carried to every part of the coun-
try.
That Mr.. Bryan correctly estimated
their liability, devotion and industry"
Is proven by the fact that in all the
states regarded In that campaign as
doubtful to which the efforts Of Senator
Jones and the national committee were
exclusively devoted, the vote for Mr..
Bryan was increased over that cast for
him In 1895. 1t was only In those states
conceded from the first to the Demo.
Gratis that his vote fell off-in those
states where the national committee
made no fight and left the campaign in
the hands Of the state committeeman.
Gov. Clarke. for instance, was COM
mitteeman for Arkansas, and Mr.. Bry.
an g vote was 90, 900 less In 1900 than
In 1895, largely because Gov. Clarke
permitted the campaign to go by default
and made no effort to get people to the
polls.

From the st. Louis Globe. Democrat. Oct II.
At u meeting Of the Worlds Fair
national commission held yesterday
afternoon In the parlors Of the Southern
hotel, Miss Helen Gould of New York
city WAS elected member at large Of the
board OF lady managers. A telegram
was Immediately sent to Miss Gould
notifying her Of the appointment. The
selection was unanimous. Commits
sioner Philip D. Scott Of Arkansas had
the honor of nominating Miss Gould,
and when he placed her name before
the meeting every member OF the com.
mission arose In rapid succession and
named the lady. Miss Gould g active
work In philanthropic and charitable
causes and the interest which she takes
In all matters OF public moment have
obtained for her an enviable distinction
among the ranks Of womankind. Her
appointment will be ratified by the
women Of st. Louis and the entire
nation. No more satisfactory action to
them could have been taken by the
commission.
After Miss Gould had been chosen to

Tributes From Senator German and

Tributes From Senator German and
Mr.. Bryan to Senator jones' Work.
From the Batesville Guard.
In the progress Of the senatorial cam
paign Gov. Clarke charges Senator
Jones with inefiiciency In the manage
ment of the presidential campaigns of
1895 and 1900. Gov. Clarke's antag.
onism to Senator Jones does not permit
him to do the senator justice. The
opinions of others on this subject who
are not only fair and impartial In their
Judgment but who are also very much
more familiar with the work of those
campaigns than Gov. Clarke are worth
vastly more than his In arriving ut a
correct conclusion. Two or three days
after the election Of 1895 Senator Cor
man of Maryland wrote Senator Jones
the following letter. Senator German
is the most successful campaign mana
ger the Democratic party has had since
the war. He was chairman Of the M.
tional committee when Mr.. Cleveland
was elected In 1884, and was In active
charge Of the campaign Of 1899, when
be was reelected, though Harrity was
nominslly chairman Of the National
Committee. Senator German, from
such experience ss this, is quite capable
Of passing judgement on the manage
ment Of national campaign, and this

Mr.. Bryan, who, personally had more
at stake In that campaign than any

| authorized him to name the officers and
direct the manner in which they should
exercise the powers already possessed
by the officers of the Territory. AS Mr..
Edmunds forcefully observes, the Pres
ident had no more power over the laws
themselves than the Secretary of the
Treasury has over the revenue laws.
His power was executive only. and the
change was merely one affecting the
personnel Of the ofiiCers-not of the
laws
But by the Spooner resolution all
military. civil, and judicial powers
necessary to govern the Philippine
Islands shall. until otherwise
provided by Congress. be vested in such
person or persons and shall be exer-
cised in such manner as the President
of the United States shall direct" etc.
Here we have complete grant of gov
erning power. absolute in character and
unlimited as to time. Everybody
knows that the Taft Government is do
ing far more than exercise the powers
of its Spanish predecessor. 1t is gov
erning'' the islands in all the length and
breadth of the term governing" sub
iect only to the paramount authority of
the President. The Philippine Govern
ment is complete in itself; it is sepa-
rate and distinct from the Government
of the United States; it is a Government
in which the power of the President is
absolute. except as to the granting of
certain franchises
> Here we have a difference between
the resolutions that is vital. which goes
to the very heart of the issue. 1t is
one which few people, perhaps, had
thought of until Mr. Edmunds made the
distinction so clear. but it is one which
should never have escaped the eye of
any Republican statesman who was
scanning the two resolutions for the
purpose of comparison. The claim that
the Spooner resolution is identical, in
substance. with that for the temporary
administration of Louisiana has not a
leg to stand on, and Senator Edmunds,
who ought to be considered good Re-
publican authority. proves it to the
point of mathematical demonstration.
