BASEBALL MAD

We have from time to time
called attention to the demorallza-
tlon OF whole classes Of our citi-
zons over baseball, and it is per-
laps fortunate that the season is draw

of the season most OF the games were
marked by enthusiasm which did not
violate docency and decorum, but little

VOTERS, ASSISTANTS

Apparently the Governor has de-
termined to appoint the voters assist
ants without consulting the judges as
to the constitutionality OF the act au-
thorizing their selection. The chair
man OF the Democratic Committee
speaking for about half the voters OF
the State, requested the Governor tc
exercise his privilege Of calling on th'
judges for an opinion. In reply th'
Governor stated that he would consult
the Attorney-General. That Official, il
appears. has declined to express al
opinion and IN the absence Of this, tn
Governor is preparing to name the vot
ers' assistants.

a great mistake, and that he is layin

PENINSULA PRESS
AQueer Point of View
From the New Castle News.

From the New Castle News.
Our esteemed contemporary, Every
Evening, in commenting on The aband-
onment Of the charges against Sheriff
Mcdaniel. his former wardens and
Mayor Boyd, makes this extraordinary
statement:
"The case is not one in which the
State was compelled to abandon its
contention Of guilt and send the ac-
cused forth with a vindication. On
the contrary they still stand arraigned
before the people OF New Castle county
as being guilty of the offenses alleged
against them. and they will continue
to stand 80 arraigned until they can
publicly give testimony that will re-
lieve them from the charge OF guilt"
Now because Every Evening is an
Influential factor for good in the State,
and has used its power to correct many
gross Ills. the injustice in dlsseminat-
ing such a doctrine is all the more
pronounced.
In substance. our contemporary
would reverse the order OF things and
place every man at the mercy OF black
mailers or other scoundrels, II the
! burden of proof "a with the accused.
Boar in mind. we are not contendins
for dishonesty in public life, but for a
fundamental principle OF law which as
sumes every accused person innocent
until proved guilty.
The public mind has been very much
innamed. and with good reason, in this
county during the past few ycars, over
the exorbitant cost in carrying on pub
lie business. and for this very reason
any dharges or rumors OF maladminis-
tration would naturally be accepted as
facts by the masses. with little actual
evidence. and for this reason It is the
duty OF a public prosecutor to be even
more careful of his proofs than when
the public mind is not infamed, in
order 90 safeguard the Innocent This
being admitted, when accused persons
are ready for trial with the material
witness against them an acknowledged
murderer who fails to appear. Thus con
pelling the State upon which the
burden OF proof rests to abandon the
case IL seems more like persecution
than prosecution to contend that the
accused are guilty until proved inno-

MANY MARRIAGES.
rRed Oalr Ernracc1

Was there ever such an epidemic Of
marriages in Red Oak before? Several
years ago there was a big crowd of
young people and society was gay. The
other day young lady who belongs to
the crowd" remarked that this sum-
mer she has had practically no girl as
sociates. They are nearly all married
or engaged, which is just about as bad.
There's something contagious about
marriages. Every wedding a young
fellow is invited to is a suggestion and
a reproach to him. The stock of eligi-
BILE bachelors has run pretty low in Red
Oak and the indications are that it will
run considerable lower before the roses
bloom again.

commEN1 ON HEnDERsoN's ACT

The sensation created by the with
drawal of Col. Henderson continues
to be the uppermost topic in press and
private circles. Generally the belief
is entertained that he made the mis-
take of his life, and that the act is not
a worthy one for public man of such
an excellent political record.
Comment by the Iowa press brings
out various opinions. Col. Henderson's
reason for withdrawal. that he is not
in accord with the demand for tariff
revision as remedy for the trust.evil,
is not accepted by the Sioux City
Journal as a sufficient one. 1t says
further that mo man in Iowa has had
q more loyal constituency than he has
had in the republicans of the Third
district AT this late day they are
left without candidate in the pres
ence Of a boastful opposition. 1t seems
to the Journal that Mr.. Henderson
should have stood IL for no other reason
than to lead his people in the fight of
this year. He might well have taken
chances with them"
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil thinks
that. I'm brief, the letter of refusal
means that Speaker Henderson is not
at all in sympathy with what has be-
come known as the Iowa idea in tariff
revision. It is like the rugged, honest
minded and outspoken Dave Hender-
son to do just this thing and refuse
sure reelection to congress and re-
election to its speakership because he
feels that his views are not the views
of his people. His political honesty is
to be admired and commended. But,
after all, may 1t not be true that the
speaker has mistaken the meaning and
ihtelft of the Iowa platform and that
he magnifies what to him seems diff
ference between himself and his con-
stituents? The republican platform
does not advocate free trade as a rem
edy for trusts-not at all. Speaker
Henderson has taken the democratic
misinterpretation of it rather than the
republican Interpretation"
The Webster City Freeman-Tribune
declares that "the charge put forth by
Mr.. Henderson that the republican
platform of Iowa favors free trade, or
anything approaching free trade. will
not be accepted by republicans gen.

REPUBLICAN, POLICY OUTLINED.

As result Of the conference of q
number Of leading republicans with the
president at Oyster Bay, including
Senator Allison, it is announced that
+ an agreement was reached on the gen.
eral policy Of the republicans during
the present campaign. 1t was simply
an exchange of views and develop
ment Of sentiment such as these lead
ers thought out to govern party action.
and Of course is binding on no one. At
the same time the points agreed upon
will be generally commended
The position Of the president on
trusts was approved. and attention 10
to be called to the fact that the govern
ment under Roosevelt's administration
has already Instituted proceedings
against the beef trust and the Northern
Pacific railroad combine. Regulation
OF trusts will be advocated. The presi-
dent will not be led into any theory OF
regulating trusts by hostile action thru
the tariff, party fear that seems to
have influenced Col. Henderson In his
Withdrawal Cuban reciprocity will be
urged. AS to the tariff. the president
and campaign speakers will declare for
protection as Indicated in the national
platform of 1896, but which at the same
time declares that the republican party
is not committed by any schedules and
that the question of rates is a detail to
be settled from time to time by con-
gress. On this basis, it is stated. the
president and campaign speakers will
declare in favor of tariff revision wher-
ever the cost of production has been
lowered by changed conditions so that
protection is no longer necessary; but
that there will be no adherence to the
theory that the tariff can be or should
be reduced merely because certain arti-
cles are produced by trusts.
It is this last feature in regard to tar
III revision that will specially interest
Iowa srepublicans, and they can accept
it heartily, for II revision is predicated
on the first proposition,wh where protection
IS no longer needed, 1t will cover the
last condition as to trusts so thoroughly

mands for such revision. The program

INITIATION OF the CURRENCY.


the New York money market, such as
periodically occurs when crops are to
be moved, leads to proposals for inflat-
in1 the currency. But there ought to
be no need of it. for there is an abund-
ance of money in the country. The per
capita circulation was never 80 great
as at present. There is local. scarcity
In New York because the banks have
loaned more funds than they should.
and borrowers have incurred reckless
obligations In speculation. It is well
established fact that abundant curren-
cy tends to excess in speculation. and
that this only breeds a. demand for
more currency. A cure for this ought
to be found. But It Is unwise to permit
too great an imitation. Secretary Shaw
has been urging National bankers to
take out more currency. but, Of course.
he would be unwilling to create a con-
dition such as above Indicated. It Is
stated, however that Secretary Shaw
has under consideration plan to ac-
sept securities other than government
bonds to safeguard government depos-
Its, so that bankers may use such bonds
to increase their circulation. The Chi-
cago Tribune says that such plan is
heartily endorsed by local bankers as
being wise and by attorneys as being
legal.

pressed with the possibilities for good

he telegraphed the secretary offering to
take out at once 100000 new circula-
ton if the secretary would release that
amount of government bonds which the
bank now has with the department as
security for.$7O0,o00 deposits Of govern
ment money. The bank would use
these bonds for new circulation and de-
post other securities to safeguard the
government deposits which it holds.
