In mis- speech before the students OF
Ann Arbor university Friday night
ex-President Harrison made power
full arraignment of the Mckinley adj
ministration's policy toward our new
possessions.
Mr.. Harrison annihilated the con-
tention of the administration that the
constitution does not follow the flag.
He showed that unless the theory and
organic law of our government are to
be perverted and ignored Porto Rico
and the Philippines must be consider
ed parts of the United States and that
the fundamental law of the govern
ment applies to them as fully as to any
other part of the United States. We
have seen no more striking commenta-
nv on the limited application OF the
constitution which the administration
proposes to enforce upon Porto Rico
and the Philippines than that made by
MIR. Harrison in these strong words:
SIS it too much to say that this view
of the American constitution Is shock
ing? An outline of a possible law
might include the suspension OF the
habeas corpus, creation of a dukedom,
one special religion, a censorship, trial
without an indictment, etc. All these
could be done if the constitution has
no relation to the people in the terri
tory. And if Porto Rico, why not in
Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Alas
ka?
IA government of unlimited powers
is an un-American government, and 1
don't believe the framerss of the con-
stitution were scareful only OF their
liberty. It is one thing to tolerate q
condition that already exists, and II
is another thing to create a con-
dition that is wrong. Oar fathers were
not content to hold things in tenure OF
another mans beneYolence.

hour of democratic peril and when the
financial condition of the country was
in state of paralysis he sought not

All this had more than anything else
to do with driving democrats from the

to himself. He evidently still thinks
that he is the biggest and best part OF
all that is. in his opinion, left OF the
democratic party.
If Cleveland or anybody in sympathy
with him had been nominated by Cne
democrats in 1896 the democratic parry
would have been superseded py the
populist party. Not even hall Vne
southern states would have gone oenl-
ocratic.
But after sulking and being sorV

WAS NOT PUT IN STRIPES.
Mr.. Callahan Denies Report Sent
Out from Webster County.

Mr.. J. w. Callahan writes the fol-
lowing card to the Atlanta Journal
from cambridge:
SIN your paperof December 10 there
appeared an article concerning my
business which is calculated to injure
me. ask that you make this correc-
ton:
SIN that article it is stated that one
Caloney Mayo has been bound to me
by his father, to work in my convict
camps until he is q years of age, and
is to be placed with convicts and wear
stripes and chains as they do. This
statement is totally untrue. The truth
is that have hired this negro boy at
a contract price of $40 month for a
wear, to be paid to his father, he being
a minor, and l have him employed on
one of nv farms IN Decatur county.
The boy is doing farm work and wears
no stripes or chains, nor does he work
with any gang of convicts, and all
statements to the contrary are without
foundation and wholly untrue.
"Such statements as the one pub
lished, if allowed to stand undenied,
are calculated to cast some discredit
on the convict camps I control, and l
therefore request that in common JUS
tice to me you publish this denial oyer
nv signature. j. w. CALLAHAN.

General Harrison's Great Speech.
From the Atlanta Journal.

for the territories? Is it that we pro-
pose to have territories for colonial
ton, crown colonies, and that we are
to be a world power? Congress has
the right to lay duties, imports, etc.,
but all duties shall be uniform through
out the United States. Can duties be
levied in New York to be expended
for education, ETC., in Porto Rico If
Porto Rico is not part of the United
States? Region which is governed
for the general welfare of the United
States is part of the United States.
"The flag cannot stand for the benev-
olent policy of one administration. 1t
stands for permanency. If the act of
acquiring territory does not extend to
it the constitution nothing will, except
by it's admission as a state. That we
give back to Porto Rico all the money
we get from her is not excusable.
When a tribute is levied and then re-
turned as benefaction it is only to
declare the territory in state of vas
salage.
SIT is said that expansion is the law
of national life. but expansion may be
dropsical. The conquest of the Dutch
republic has not strengthened Britain.
1t has multiplied disappointed peo-
pie. 1t has made revelation to her
that there is need of larger armies and
coast defenses at home. do net ar
que against expansion, but the old
coach may be safer vehicle for old
folks than the bicycle"
Mr.. Harrison has been one of the
ablest champions the republican party
has found in this generation, but he is
also a profound constitutional lawyer
and a patriotic citizen. He is convinced
that his party has departed on line
that is neither constitutional nor just,
and the courageous manner Ia which
be enters his protest against il will
be received with respect By the coun-
try.

Then came trump from Morgan.
Without any warning the personnel of
the board of directors was changed.
Friends of Morgan were put in and
Williams friends found themselves
out. The bank would not advance Will
liams one cent. In this dark period
even the seemingly indomitable spirit
of Williams was broken. There was a
meeting of the board OF directors OF
the Greater Seaboard Air Line. The
cherished dream of years seemed like
bubble about to be burst. Williams
called the meeting to order.
Gentlemen, he said, 81 regret to
inform you that the Produce Exchange
bank, upon which we counted, has fail
ed us. We will have to get money, but
at this moment l cannot say where we
are to procure it. have called this
meeting in order to learn your views"
There was a gloomy silence among
the directors. A great deal OF money
had been sunk in the Seaboard-a
great deal was being sunk. The COW
seemed to be MIXED dry.
Then one man got up and left the
table at which the directors were sit
ting and walked over to another table
in the room. He wrote something on a
piece of paper, arose and walking over
to Williams handed it to him.
"Will this pull US through" he
asked
Williams looked at it. 1t was check
for 81 10000.
The man was Mr.. Shepherd, one OF
the few New Workers interested in the
company, and reputed to be worth over
100000.
Gradually the injunction suits were
beaten or withdrawn, and the great
consolidation that this young Rich
mond man had engineered was perfect

beaten, horse, foot and dragon.

bility of consolidation. Gradually sue
cess was coming near. The price was
high. If Williams succeeded in effect
ing the combination he was to receive
go, 600, 900 in common stock of the COM
pany, and would be its president.

high. If Williams succeeded in effect
ing the combination he was to receive
so, 600, 900 in common stock of the COM
pany, and would be its president.
Morgan lost no time in starting the
machinery of the law and the money
market against the newcomers into the
field then dominated by the Southern.
There were three ways to fight, and
instantly the three methods we're ap-
piled. In the first place everything
was done to cripple the old Seaboard's
line from Norfolk to Atlanta. This
road is the short line between the two
points, but has to depend upon other
roads to get to Washington and the
north. Through Morgan's influence
the trains which connected with the
Air Line from Washington stopped at
every semblance of a station. This de-
lay enabled the Southern to run faster
through trains to Atlanta.
The second step was to persuade
some stakeholder in each of the roads
which Williams aimed at consolidating
to get out an injunction in equity
against the terms of the transfer of the
roads to the Seaboard. This task was
left to Thomas F. Ryan, Mr.. Morgan's
agent, and at one time there were q
injunctions before the courts of the
various states. In all there were 118
injunctions brought.
The third method was nothing more
or less than to prevent Williams from
getting money in New York TO finance
the consolidation. This was MOrgan's
strongest card, and he played it so well
that but for what was almost an acct
dent he might have won. Williams
had counted on his acquaintance in the
New York Produce Exchange bank to
enable him to finance the company.
He had a majority of the members of
the board of directors of the bank
back of him, and everything looked
bright.

are inclined to wait before we pronounce him a

LESLIE M SHAW OF DEN1soN

J1Eok1E W. SE1kA w sOFa OENAoON.
We are surprised at the intmation Of the broad
minded editor of the Boone Republican that the
good feeling shown toward Governor Shaw by the
Fort Dodge Messenger, Algona Upper Des Moines
and Carroll Herald is explained in the fact that
the papers are owned by Delivers Shaw Office hold
ers. For that is explanation at all
The fact is, George Roberts, Harvey Ingham
and the Carroll Herald men knew Leslie M. Shaw
before he was governor long before he aspired to
any Office or tried to influence nomination of men
for Office. They knew Leslie M. Shaw OF Denison
and they had pretty good opinion of him then.
He held no Office then, mind you and sought to
place no ofhceholder under obligation to him.
He was plain Leslie M. Shaw, whom one valued
for his personal worth.
But Leslie NJ. Shaw of Denison, the plain, UNI
titled citizen. with Office or favor to dispense,
possessed qualities that drew men to him. He
was to begin with, an entertaining gentleman to
meet. He was dull, dry or undressing.
His mind sparkled with good things, his unbound
ing good humor charmed, and his supreme good
fellowship made friends Of all who learned to know
him.
But there was something more than likabe parts
to Leslie M. Shaw Of Denison, as the editors nam
ed learned to know him. He was a man Of splen-
did ability and the most aggressive and ceaseless
energy. He was from the start lawyer Of ability
and skill, and he early attained standing at the
bar surpassed by none, not even the best known
lawyers in western Iowa: He was a worker, and
while not cease lawyer" in any sense he pre-
pared his case and was never found mapping He
was in a constant state Of .spreparedness'' and
never left anything undone.
Nor were his efforts confined to his professor.
He was a thorough business man and by good
judgment and foresight had early made a fine bust
the Republican party, schools and colleges as we'll
as the churches
That's what Leslie NJ Shaw Of Denisondid and
the people who met him occasionally in political
conventions, in his rounds while attending to legal
business and in personal gatherings knew these
things and appreciated them. When it became
known that he aspired torthe governorship, not
one Of those who knew him best stood back They
came forward and told the people what kind of
man he was.
And we don't believe he has been found wanting.
As a goyarnor he has exercised the same Qualities
his friends knew he possessed, the same that had
given him5standing and won him friends when he
was just plain Leslie M. Shaw of Denison. It IS
only because we have known him longer and bet
ter that we can give him more and better support
than others, We are quite sure that our good
friend Of the Boone Republican would give him the
same unreserved support if he knew him as well
and as long as the stDolliver-Shaw oficehclders"
in question. Carroll Herald.
