A DEPUTY AT AR1oN.

The people q! Ariou are circulating
petition which will be presented to
the board OF supervisors ASKING that
deputy sheriff BE- appointed TO act as a
peace officer at that railroad junction.
Something sho.;ld be done to preserve
life and property and preserve the
good name of Crawford county. The
limits of the incorporation are so snall
that city officer is OF liLtle avail and
it would not be fair TO ask the people
Ariun to paw all the expense of an Of
flcer TO preserve the peace n matter
which affect: he entire county. Two
murders aithln year beside nuner.
Gus thefts and burglaries is surely
enough. The county would be 6nan-
cial gamer a. would also the railroads
and the people of Arion shoald proper
police protection be offered that place
Expensive trials would be avoided and
the lives and property of citizens
would be much safer Arion is the
junction of lhrc. roads. aud it is Their,
for the hardie>t possible dumping
place for all the riff raft and buns who
are catching rides from ore part of the
country to another. just outside of
Arion the Milwaukee leaves on
steep grade and it is here that the
tramps congregate ashley change from
one'road to another. This is the point
where the two murders have been
committed and as it is outside the cor.
poration town marshall would have
no authority to act. We would sug-
gest that Arion. the county and the
railroads go into sort of partnership
arrangement. That the city marshal
be made Il deputy sheriff and rail-
road officer and that all contribute to-
ward the payment of one or two men
as may be necessary. This matter
has been .s@ icng ucg,ectcd snd it q
to the interest Of all that something
should be done. We would further
suggest that a strong but small jail
should be erected at Arion for tempor-
airy detention purposes.
Col. AL. Sortor tne prominent S. of
V. organizer and worker of Iowa has
received the Democratic nomination
for Congress in the Fourth district
against G. N Haugen. Col. Sortor is
very popular and were the district less
strongly republican he might have a
fighting show, 1t is to be regretted
however that as patriotic man as Mr..
Sor,or should join hands with the
party that has brought nothing but
sorrow and distress TO the country
which he loves.

THAT IOWA PLANK.

| Again extremes meet. There are
certain high protectionists among the
republicans who see grave menace to
the policy OF protection in the Iowa
deliverance. Their opinion seems to
be that the Dingley schedules cannot
be touched at all without serious con.
sequences to business all along the
line. And here comes Mr.. Bryan, one
of the lowest O! low tariff democrats,
with this observation:
II am GLAD to see that the republi.
cans OF Iowa have admitted the neces-
sity for tariff reform, for while it will
strengthen the republican party il.
that state for the coming campaign it
Will ultln ately weaken it, for the re-
publlcans cannot permit any reform in
the tariff without endangering their
whole system, and they cannot abandon
the protective system without an aihi
| latiue it
This ia sheer extravaganza. The
| idea that reform of the tariff means its
destruction, that the REIMBURSEMENT of
protection duties means the abandon.
ment of the protective system, par
takes solMe what of the com!cal. The
very success of tariff bill makes a re.
adJustment Of u rates necessary. AS
business is stimulated ov it, changes,
in time, become imperative. The
rates of one era do not fit the condi-
tions of another era.
| lake the case of the Mckinley tariff
bill. That was very carefully pre-
pared under the direction Of man
who had fully mastered the whole
question of protection, and who always
insisted that i a fair trial had been
given it the Till would have justified
itself But it was condemned at the
its enactme' into Law; ard as soon as
the democrats could get at it in Con.
gress they superseded it by passing
the Gormau- Wis n oll. That in luru
was superseded by the passage of the
Dingley Bit, whjca is nov in opera
| zion.
| When Mr.. Dineley ant his assistants
took up the subject OF revision they
did not go back to the rates of the Nc
Kinley bill. Seven years mad passed
since the preparation OF that bin, and
business conditions had changed in
that time The Mckinley rates were
no longer suitable New rates re
required, and these Mr. Dingley and
his friends, guided BY the business re
quirement= Of The day. prepared
Tney have justified themselves il

so very we'll that Industries beneftns
by them no longer need the care they
then did. Ia the five years since the
Dlngley bill was written conditions

vantage.

The Bulletin suggests that it is DOS.
sible that William Jennings Bryan
may visit Denison during the street
fair This certainly would be entirely
satisfactory to all concerned There
is bare possibility that President
Roosevelt may be induced TO include
henison in mis- western itinerary as a
plinient TO the home of the Secre
tary OF the Treasury. Should the
President come he will be greeted not
as d party leader but as tae President
OF the United States. Should Mr..
Bryan come he should be treated not
as partisan but as one of the dis
tineuished citizens of the nation. With
this understanding. should Denison be
fortunate enough to be visited by these
FAM u men. ali can work together to
show how greatly Denison appreciates
the honor.

A FAMOUS ~ MAN.

Tracey the outlaw is dead-dead
from self.inficted wound. His career
reads like the pages of a lurid nickel
novel but his fate should be warning
to all the would-be bad men" of the
country. Hunted for weeks like wild
beast, knowing that every mans hand
was against him, fleeing for his life
through the woods and mountains fin.
ally, shot down like a dog, he drags
his bleeding body into a wheat.6eld
sees that the end is near and rather
than be captured he turns his unerring
aim upon himself. Such is the picture
IF the death, not of hero but of an
outlaw who caused the innocent and
the helpless to suffer, brough. nothing
good TO the world and whose life can
only be of use as terrible example of
utter moral depravi,v. In the weeks
! OF his flight he showed wonderful gen.
eralshlp. great personal courage, in
dom table will and surprising GOODNESS.
| There can be no doubt but that had
his forts been we'll directed he had
the ability to have made for himself a
name and fame that would have lived
upon the lips of men to be spoken
otherwise than with contumely and
reprobation. There are too many
boys. boys right here in Denison he
are starting out on the "bad man"
line. Their ends will hardly be as
dramatic as Tracey's bit unless they
get a higher ideal OF life than that OF
lazy lcadng and making their living by
their wits. it will be just as sad and
disgraceful.

will not even hold up the hands OF the
men who are trying to fight your
battles for you. And many of you
will doubtless vote against the candi-,

roads pay on the same proportion OF

you do on yours. You take little in

tented to vote the republican ticket.
So long as you continue to attend to

to pay two or three dollars taxes to

Republican editors and speakers
over the state are much exercised
over the fact that the fusion state
committee has not answered the vari-
Gus charges which have been pre-
ferred by the Bailey gang against
Mr.. Craddock's private history of
some eighteen or twenty years ago.
The managers of the fusion campaign
are aware that to be drawn into ex-
PLANTATION of political roorbacks and
campaign lies is exactly what the re-
publican managers wish to force
them into, thereby binding the voters
to the main question-taxation. In a
campaign OF that sort, the managers
of one political party can keep their
opponents busy doing nothing bu:

INDUCED in little horse play last

committee to debate the tax law bill
or any other measure before the
voters of this county at a series OF
meetings already advertised by our
committee. They knew that they were
holding meetings at the same points
the same week aud instead of asking
US to debate at their meetings they
ask that they be given not only the
whole of their own night but half of
ours: that's gall Again they pro-
pose to put up Senator Smith, the
man who wrote the bill. against any
one we can bring, realizing that on
such short notice it is impossible to
make arrangements to get man who
is as familiar with the subject as is
the senator. In fact it would be hard
to fnd a man as familiar with the
subject for the reason that the COM

f. Dumont Smith, chairman Of the
tax commission which compiled the
republican tax bill which the republi-
cans will pass in the next legislature
if they have a majority in the house,
has flown in the face of his state COM
mittee, and there will be merry war
from now on. The peoples party
state committee, some weeks ago,
through the republican committee,
challenged Mr.. Smith to a joint de-
bate on his tax bill. But Alhau9h,
chairman of that committee, refused
absolutely to let his people debate
the tax law. Now in the face of this,
Mr.. Smith issues challenge on his
own hook to the fusionists of this
county, hoping that he wiH be able to
defeat any local speaker. This chai-
lenge has been referred to the populist
state committee which has told Mr..
Smith that if he desires to debate the
law, they will make arrangements
with his state committee.

less of the merits of the bill, it has
been under discussion for some time
and Mr.. Tatum has the same right as
any other person to discuss its pro-
visions and also a right to be treated
with common decency afterwards,
even though his opposition to the bill
threatens to disarrange the political
plans of any republican. BUT why
does the senator call MIR. Tatum a
perjurer He says that MIR. Tatum
made false statement to the as
SCISSOR in that he failed to list lot
of mortgages for taxation that ap-
pear on the records as owned by him.
Mr.! Tatum tells US that the notes
his property, that they represent
cattle sales and that as fast as they
came into his possession they were
sold to other parties and that it was
the place of the owner to pay these
taxes, and not the man who had at

nOre InfamY.

1t appears that the infamy at
tempted by Secretary of State Clark.
upon the candidate. Thomas II. Girls
ham, of the 4th district, was. only a
small part of the wrong this hireling
attempted by arbitrary ruling in re-
gard to the ballots.
In the case of s. D. Adams in the
Meade-Seward representative district,
there had been no nomination what
ever on the peoples ticket, the poru
lists havIag gone into the democratic
convention. However, Mr.. Clark ar
bitrarily placed Mr.. Adams on the
peoples ticket alone. for the express
purpose of running his chances for
election. Upon demand of secretar-
les McC<um and Curran. he finally,
after s0sne denur, agreed that Mr.
Adams name should go under the
name cf the party by which he was
nominased, the democratic party.
The democratic aomination of
Charles q. Apt for Judge in the Pratt
district has been declared null and
void ueder the new election law, for
the reason that the certificate furn-
ished by the attorney general had
no partg emblem on Il, although the
certifcase fled showed plainly he had
been neminated by the democratic
party and the democratic party had
adopted an official emblem, which
emblem IS well known aot only to the
secretary of state. but TO every other
man in the state.
1t was not enough tha's the secretary
of state should hide like a common
criminal srom the officers of the law,
but must take these bold aud under
handed msthods to attempt to defeat
the will Of she people. This man will
do more 70 break the faith of the
people in the republicaG party in
their oficers than wouk years OF
mistakes hODestly made.

The feeling against the republican
tax law is so violent that their candi-
dates for the legislature feel lmpelled
to declare themselves against it in
order to save themselves from defeat.

nominee for representative in Co
manche county, recently published a
notice in the Coldwater Star, offering
to give any man $50 who would prove
that he tSherman) had ever spoken a
word in favor of the proposed repub-
lican tax bill. Thus is this child OF
the republican party, which cost 81 600
to give it birth, turned out into tn
cold, fatherless.

We regret that the honorable sena-
t0,. from this district should have
given so little attention to the posi-
tion of the fusionists ia this campaign
that he has not understood our posi-
tion on the question of taxation.
Had he done so he would hardly have
made the statement that appears in
his paper last week that "Mr. Grad
dock was in favor of taxing the rail
roads at their full value and leaving
the tax on other property as at pres
ent-On value of from OneE Eth
to one-fourth. Our proposition is
other property. We will state the
matter in as few words as possible: {:
The public service corporations of
this state, as railroads, telegraphs,
telephones, ETC., have cash value OF
about $500. 600. .0e9, they pay taxes on
about $50. OOO, ,009. or ten per cent.
one-tenth of their value. and every
tax payer knows that the farmer and
small home owaer pays taxes on a
valuation of eae-third. Nov, if the
corporations are compelled to pay on
one-third valuation also. it is at once
apparent they will pay larger pro-
portion of the amount of the total
taxes than they do at present and the
result will be to cut the state tax oil
,our home people down to about one
half of what they pay at present.
The republicans cell US that this can
not be done ana that the railroad S
ere paying as nnch as they can af-
ford and that If we undertake
to raise their taDes they will go into
oDurt and prevent.it. This makes an.
other propositios clear and tkat is
thst the fusionists are making a def
inzte promise to try and oveacome
whMt is recognizes as great in
justice. Many republicans will vote
our 6ieket on the grounds that az the
repshilicans promise no relief 1a6ong
this time they will gfse the people a
chance who do prOuise to come to
their relief.

ssA half truth is whole lie' is an
old saying that is frequently brought
TO our mind >as we read the republic
can papers in camuaign. Senator
Smith tells US in the last issue of his
paper. that notwithstanding the fact
that the populists were In power in
1894 the assessment of the railroads
was reduced about two million dol
lars. Now that is half truth. The
facts are that according to the sena-
tors tax bill the popuiists raised the
assessment on the railroads in 1893
ten million dollars aud the following
year when times were hard this was
dropped two million leaving total
gain Of practically eight millions and
this has stood from that time till now,
practically . gain Of eight millions in
