Oyerzealous newspapers which have
defended the murderous orders Of
"Hell- Roaring" Jake Smith, just be-
cause he was working for Republic
an administration, are in a quandary
now for an explanation. President
Roosevelt has summarily fred Smith
for the cruslties he perpetrated in the
Philippines, and which the faithful
kept denying, Roosevelt,S confession
that the charges are true leaves the
thick-and=thIn defendersof Smith up
a stump.-H. Paul Globe.
The cords and cords Of binding Irvine
required to harvest the immense
crops OF the Northwest, at trust prices,
Is q heavy burden on production.
Binding twine which might be furnish
ed at q profit at I cents a pound is now
quoted at 13i at Wholesale. If Mr..
Roosevelt is in earnest about prosecu-
ting the trusts, why don't he have
some one Of the 300 attorneys whose
are paid for by the public,
commence criminal proceedings
against the tnine trust9 The twine
trust from its profits can pay amillion
dollars into the republican campaign
fund in 1891, and that is Of more i'm:
portance to the republican party and
to Mr.. Roosevelt than the protection
of the farmers from extortion and
robbery. These are unpleasant truths
but stubborn facts nevertheless, and
the man who casts vote lfor the re-
publican party endorses the methods
for his own despoilment.
Political parties have become ma.
chimes extending frem pathmaster up
through the various grades of town,
county, state and congress, to that OF
President. When the political ma
chine. is used as it is with the repu bill
can party to foster and protect the
trusts which fatten from the. unlaw-
fnl gains taken from the people, it
would seem as though the time had
come when sensible men would assert
their independence Of party and vote
to destroy the machine. The politi-
Cal machine in this county is part
of the power that is upholding the
trusts, and little quiet voting would
open the eyes of the administration
TO the necessity OF doing something
against thoss combinations more
powerful than the honied words OF
the President.
