The attorney, red-faced and glisten-

upon which were numerous bundles OF

Arranging some sheets of paper, he

1t impossible to concentrate his mind

Let Him Answer.

Mr.. Roosevelt is soon to start
on one of the most ambitio us
stamping tours ever attempted
by an occupant of the White
House. He will endeavor to de.
fend his administration against
the criticism which has been di
rected against it and he should
be aided by suggestions from
his opponents. For instance,
Mr. Roosevelt might answer
tie following questions:
why not apply the Declare
ton of Independence to the
Filipinos?"
why not begin criminal &C
ton against the beef trust mil
lionaires as we'll as against the
small criminals?"
Are you in favor of the
Fowler bill with its asset cur
rency, its branch banks and it's
redeemaole silver dollars?"
why not take the tariff off
of trust-made articles?"
The questions present issues
upon which he should ell.
tighten the public. -Bryan's
