ISSUE SELECTED in DEMO-
CRATIC CAMPAIGN BOOK
Chairman Griggs and His Congress
sional Committee Dispel All
Doubt-Free Trade Advocated
and Reciprocity, Even With
Cuba, Denounced Imperialism's

The Democratic congressional com
mittee has given to the public re-
markable document in the Democratic
campaign book just issued. This official
|mouthpieee of the Democratic party
places the Democratic party on record
|as in favor of free trade. For twenty
five years the Democratic leaders have
been explaining old platforms and
denying that they were free traders,
but Chairman Griggs and his committee
come out openly in favor Of free trade
in this Democratic bible which is to be
the inspiration of Democratic orators in
this campaign. The committee assails
the tariff as the mother of trusts, denies
the existence Of prosperity, calls reci-
procity hunbug and declares that it
it worse than protection.
The book shows a wealth of incon-
sistencies In one part there is published
the resolution of the Democratic caucus
last June denouncing the Republican
majority for the failure to pass the
Cuban reciprocity bill, which was
heartily supported by the Democratic
In another part of the book
it is declared that reciprocity looks like
free trade, but tastes ike protection. II
is really new sugar coating prepared
BY the Republican tariff doctors for
many patients who are refusing to take
their protection pills straight. In prac-
ice reciprocity is worse than protec-
ion.
There is another paragraph from
his Democratic campaign book that
shows on the revenue question. Underl

A ROMANCE
How the Reporters of Seattle
 Can Weave Fiction.

What the reporters of Seattle can't write about isn't worth the trouble to relate. But the waterfront man on the Seattle Times ,kes the biz biscuit.
 On the last Dolphin, J. Jandos, jr., vas taken south to the lns ne as, lum at Salem. All Sksgwavlans know hIs mania. But here Is a new one. This Is what the Times says:
 "J. Jando, ir., an Insane man, was brought down on the Dolphin la charge of Deputy United States Marshal w. H.. MeNalr. Mr. Jando Is being taken to the Salem Institute for the Insane.
 His case Is pathetic one.
 He Is only about 2S wears of age and Is a magnificent specimen of manhood, but the rlgors of ao Alaska winter proved too much for hin and he went Insane.
 The great white silence of the north land Is said to Dc responsible for the tragedy, for it was while out on a pros pectlng trip, with but one companion and the oppressive solitude and wastes of dag zlIng snow that the young man became dementcd, Later he was taken In charge by the ffieers at Dawson and sent outside to the Insane asylum"

President RooseyeIts brave stand
ID the interests Of the people
against the enroachments of the
trusts has thereby, according to
recent news reports, brought up
on himself the opposition of John
p. Morgan, the finance king aud
trust magnate. According to the
latter the President is q disturber
and an unsafe man to be at the
head of the 90 7ernment. We do
not believe the American people
will endorse Mr.. Morgans esti-
mate of the President, For the reas-
on that they will never consent to
turn tho government over to
the money king. Their welfare
auc progress is of more importance
than the protection of Mr.. Nor
gan's special interests. President
Roosevelt's position on the trust
question is not revolutionary. He
does not say, as SO many of the
rabid anti-trustites do, that all the
trusts should be swept out Of eX-
istencc in one swoop. He recog-
nizcs the fact that under industrial
conditions as they now exist COM
binations of capital are an absolute
necessity in order to meet these
conditions, but at the same time he
sees the necessity also holding the
operations of organized capital
within the limit of its proper func
ton. That function is to stimulate
and carry on the industrial activity
of the country and to broaden
commercial enterprise. Within
this sphere organized capital may
operate without legal hindrance.
1t is only when the trusts, o-calI-
ed, overstep their rights and use
the power of organized wealth to
create monopoly for the control
Of the neccssarics of life, or to
grind down the wages Of labor that
regn!ative legislation should be
applied to their conduct. This is
the Presidents position and the
people will endorse it.

HOT TIME AT NOME.
"Function" While the Mercury
Is 40 Below Zero.

A correspondent at Nome writes
glowing account of a roof garden per-
formance in midwinter by the Knights
of Pythias club. He asserts that the
hall was made to represent an Allan
tic coast roof garden in the summer
season. Scattered about the hall were
palm trees. Chinese lanterns, and arti-
fetal willows. The ladies wore light
frocks and the men were attired in
ducks. shirt waists and straw hats.
All those present are said to have en-
loved themselves until after midnight.
no doubt imagining they were eating
watermelons and slipping lemonade
and mint .iuleps. At the very moment
of doing this. however, the wind out
side was bowling and the mercury was
down in the bulb to 40 below zero. This
is cheerful news, comments our in
formant, and clearly indicates that q
Yankee is bound to have hot time"
in spite Of any weather conditions with
which he may have to cope.

There is q contrast between the
Republican and Democratic county
tickets which speaks volumes in
favor of the former from the stand
point of honesty. En- nominating
the Republican ticket the question
was referred to the people and $50
voters took a hand in the matter.
On the other hand the Democratic
ticket was made up in Potosi by a
few selfish ringsters, who had no
further interest in it than to secure
the best nominations for themselves
and fill in the blank spaces by nom
mating only such men rs will prove
useful tools in their hands in cut
ting out a few offices for the ring.
This game has been played every
two years for the past decade.
The men who really control the
votes and who have thrown their
influence to the ringster candidates
are the ones who have always been
left to hold the bag. 1t is true
that there had been some kicking
and talk of retribution previous to
the Democratic county convention,
but the ringsters have led the de-
luded ones into the trap again by
giving them few Of the nomina
tions for minor offices with efus..ve
promises of support that will never
materialize.

The outstanding state indebted
ness, exclusive of the school fund
certificates, now amounts to
only 1887, 900. There is said
to be sufficient money in the
sinking fund at the present time to
pay off this indebtedness; but the
fund commissioners are taking no
steps to cancel the bonds. 1t is
believed they are under orders
from Governor Dockery to leave
these few remaining bonds out
standing until after the election to
see how the question of the propos-
ed tax of three cents on the hun
dred dollars to lay the interest on
the certificates turns out when the
people have voted on it in Novem-
ber. Meanwhile the old levy of
ten cents on the hundred dollars
for the state interest tax is being
levied for the year 1908, although
the constitution expressly states
that when money sufficient to pay
off all the outstanding state bonds
has been collected this tax shall
cease. Are not the taxpayers
within their rights if they refuse to
pay any further taxes into the
state interest fund.- Will not the

1t is certainly significant that ex-
Governor Stone found it incumbent
upon himself to make two political
visits to this county within Il few
weeks. What was his OBJ ject! Why,
to hayo Il Democratic Representa-
tive elected from this county next
November. There is no political
principle involved III the election
'of a Representative. Oh, no. of
course, not; but just the same if
a Democrat is elected to represent
the county at the next General
Assembly he will he found sup
porting Gov. Stone for United
States Senator. We always get Il
prompt application of political
principle from our Democratic
Representatives after they reach
Jefferson City, and our Republican
voters should apply a little of it to
their own conduct wien they go to
the polls in November.

Our frequent illusions to the
use of booze and doodle in deter
mining elections in this county are
not made with the hope Of reform
ing the Democratic candidates, the
case is hopeless in that direction.
Our object is give publicity to an
evil that is generally admitted to
be growing worse year by year,
and awaken the people of the
county to the fact that political con-
ditions here are a reproach upon
the good name of the community.
Democrats themselves, even some
of the candidates on that ticket,
have admitted that the corruption
AMI debauchery of the voters has
all the horrors of nightmare,
and that the situation is growing
worse instead of better. Their ex-
cuse is that i'll going into the game
at all they must 60 in to Twin"
TO win in the face of constantly
growing Republican majority
leaves them no other alternative
than to ''seduce" (using the ex-
pressive term applied to the situa-
ton by the independently Republi-
can voters from their allegiance by
the use of money and whiskey.
How can a remedy be applied is
the question that has been put
more than once by those who ab-
hor the evil that has hoist its vic
iousness in our midst. There is
but one remedy and that is to de-
feat the men who are known to be
associated with this evil. Take
the two county tickets and COM
pare them. On the Republican
ticket you have men who are ready
to go before the voters upon their
personal merits. They appeal for
a campaign conducted along the
lines of decency and honesty, in
viting their opponents to meet
them on this ground. The people
should force such campaign upon
the Democrat. by giving them to
underetand that the limit of booze

Democratic county ticket has been
boasting around that he had chattcl
mortgages on 400 Republican vot-
ers. When the assessor called on
him one day last week to list those
mortgages he denied that he had

after the votes are counted that he
spoke true to the assessor, even il
