Policy Adopted Is to improve Ef-
ficiency of Dominion's Forces

Ottawa, Oct. 26.-Sir Frederick
Borden, minister of militia, was ask
ed if it was true that he had refused
the suggestion of Mr.. Frederick, the
British war secretary, to have an i'm
perial force of 5000 men raised in
Canada for imperial defense. He
said the report was correct.
"Our policy" he added, sis to carry
out and perfect what we have under
taken in the way of increasing the
efficiency of our own system of de-
tense. We should be in a position to
defend ourselves against sudden at
tacks from any quarter. and then,
in case of prolonged warfare, to rely
upon aid from the mother country,
just as we did, of our free will and
accord, give aid to the empire accord
ing to the necessities Of the conflict.

submit to such taxation-certainly
not unless we had representation in
the councils of the empire"

THE GOVERNORS PLEA.

Like a refreshing breeze, laden With
the perfume OF flowers comes the let

morass OF democratic abuse and vii
LITIGATION and makes u Plea for de-
cency and honesty in tie campaign as
it relates to the election of associate
justice of the supreme court.
Always a democrat of the most
uncompromising sort and a party man
in every sense of. the term, yet the
governor corns to descend to the
low level of some of the men who
set themselves up as leaders of his
party and assail the reputation and
character of an honest and reputable
citizen for no other npurpose than to
gain a political advantage. Well aoes
he say that for the first time in the
history of the state, or any other
state that he knows of, have political
managers and party newspapers made

the supreme court the paramount is

some latent purpose O to be COM
mended must lie behind the unprece-
dented action of party managers in
forcing the respective candidates to
the front, to the exclusion of political
issues, and make their candidacy the
one absorbing question of the cam
pagn.
Being a lawyer himself, the govern

the judiciary that is a part of the
mental makeup of every good and
honest man who practices the legal
profession. His sense of decency and
respect revolts at the spectacle pre-
sented in the present campaign, when
through the efforts of a few men the
judiciary is made the subject of the
most %invidious discussion by the press
and from the platform and when ru-
mors are started intended to bring
the bench into d%isrepute with the peo-
pie and impair it's usefulness by the
destruction of the respect and conf
dence which it should inspire in the
minds of all law abiding citizens. Sad

Minneapolis Times: That greedy,
rapacious and %capacious monstrosity,
the Pullman Palace Car company,
congratulates itself upon the fact that
last year was it's largest ever. Here
is a case of swelling of stock to the
limit possible, of expansion, lest the
dividends should appear SO atrocious-
ly out of proportion to the service
rendered that the public would be-
gin a crusade against the leech. In
a general way the stock is worth
about three times the amount of o
ey ever invested in it, and cash and
stock dividends are about Is per cent
a year, while the surplus swells until
now it reaches the $11, 900, 900 mark.
The saddest thing about the whole
affair is that there seems to be no
remedy. Railway companies hate the
Pullman monopoly, but do not seem
to see their way clear to break it.

self with saying that to all appear
ances the letter had been intended as
a personal communication. The fact
is that the remarks of the governor
are SO fair, honest and appropriate
that none of the publications which
have been attacking Judge HClloway
can make reply to them. They we'll
know the utter absurdity and sense
l%essness Of the charges they have been
making against an honorable and up
right mar and the plain words of the
leading man of their own party has
brought the matter home to them in
all it's seriousness. AS we'll as every
other intelligent person of the state
do the reyilers of Judge Holloway
realize the untruthfulness of their as
sertions rejecting on his honesty as
a judge and his standing as a man
and citizen. 1t only remained for the
manly and commendable stand of the
governor to make it all the more ap-
parent to them.

A LOGICAL

Omaha Bee: This country may not
yet be prepared to assume control of
coal mines, but the argument that it
would cost the government Is per cent
more to run the mines than it would
private individuals and private cor
porattbns will scarcely brighten any
body. If it would actually cost rs
per cent more to mine the coal, the
additional outlay would be distribut-
ed to- the mine workers and they
would put it into circulation among
the merchants whose wares they must
buy and the farmer whose products
they must consume. Heavier wages
would increase consumption and that
means better prices for the producer.
Under existing conditions the Is per
cent gees into the capacious pockets
of the coal barons and coal mine
trusts.
The most logical objection to gov
eminent ownership is the risk of
such a colossal undertaking,
the enormous increase of the nation
al debt and the excessive price that
would have to be paid for the mines
if acquired by condemnation
process. Where billions are involv-
ed the mine owners would readily pay
hundreds of thousands, or millions,

selves to be blinded and biased by
the %senseless ISLANDERS and charges
made by those whose purpose is open
to suspicion and doubt.
Because he is honest and honorable
and pleads for observance of the rules
that should govern the conduct Of
honest, honorable men, the governor
should not be charged with a lack of
party loyalty or with harboring de.
sires inimical to the success of the
candidate named by his political or.
~ganization. He realizes the great dan.
ger to- the state if partisan prejudice
and blind political passion are permit
ted to gain the a%scendency now
threatened. Feeling pride in his state,
he finds himself constrained to pro-
test against the methods Lis party
is pursuing in the present campaign
because he sees in them only meal
culable injury to the state through
the unmerited suspicion which must
attach to it's courts. He sees nothing
in the situation to justify any fear
that the supreme court, whatever the
result of the election may be, will
lose any of the hight character that
now belongs to it. Both candidates,
he declares, are men of high char
acter and acknowledged ability and
both hold judicial offices Of the same
rank to which they have been elected
by the people Of their respective dis
tricts and against whom no breath Of
suspicion has ever been raised. He
considers both men of the highest in
tegrity and no matter which n is
elected he feels satisfied that the
laws will be administered fairly, i'm
partially and with the utmost regard
for honesty and justice.
The rebuke administered by the
governor to the leaders of his party
who are doing all in their power to
bring the courts into disrespect and
to cause them to be held in contempt
is none the less merited because of
the sting it contains. Were more
men like him the scandals which have
arisen and the assaults. making
on the bench would not form a part
of some decidedly regretable history
for which certain members of his
party are answerable.

THE NEXT

Omaha Bee: Representative Over
street of Indiana, who as a member of
the republican national congressional
committee, has been during the sum-
mer It the headquarters in New York
and is therefore ~ccnversant with the
general political situation, expresses
confidence that the republicans will
have a safe majority in the next house
of representatives. He said the cam
paign has been a difficult one, owing
to the fact that the people have been
exceedingly busy in all lines of bust
ness, yet he had no doubt that the re-
suit of the congressional elections
would leave the republican party in
control of the house.
Mr.. Overstreet said: 'The Pacific
slope and the northwest are safe. We
have more than an even chance for
gains in Kansas and Nebraska and
will certainly hold u own in the
middlewest. The general healthy tone
of business and the settlement of the
coal strike clears the situation great
ly in the east, where we will not suffer

the republicans will carry the larger

Il can see nothing in the situation

ton may be, will lose any of that
high character which belongs to it.
y + : But when both candidates
before the people are men of high
character and acknowledged ability,
both holding judicial offices of the
same rank, to which they have been
elected in their respective districts,
and against whose integrity the
breath of suspicion has never rested,
one is led to believe that there is
some latent purpose not to be CON-
mended in the unprecedented action
of party managers which forces them
to the front, practically to the ex-
clusion of political issues, and makes
the judiciary a mark for frenzied dis
cussion in the press and venomous ru-
mors on the street."-Governor Toole

A democratic newspaper of the
state takes occasion to, remark in the
sage manner peculiar to it that 1.-The
Chinese issue appears to have been
pretty generally spread around among
all the parties" This is SO as it ap-
plies to the different democratic par
ties of the state, but it cannot be
made to apply to the republicans. Mr..
Evans. a nominee CT one of the demo-
cratic parties, stands convicted of
having employed a Chinese servant,
and now it is charged that a promi-
nent leader of another of the demo-
cratic parties has a Chinese cook in
his employ. While this is spreading
it around tolerably well among the
democratic parties, no evidence has
been introduced to establish like guilt
en- the part of any republicans. 1t is
true that Mr.. Dixon was accused of
patronizing a Chinese laundry, hut he
promptly compelled recalling of that
story as untrue. ..

The republicans having declared for
a fellow servant law and pledged
their nominees for the legislature to
vote for such a measure and to do
all in their power to secure it's enact
ment, the democrats now declare they

been forced from them and they may
be relied upon to forget all about it

lature.

to say that he had reference to any

making strenuous efforts to ele

their congressional candidates In or
der that they may obtain control of
the house. Strong attempts will be
made to secure a change in the tariff
and with a democratic majority in the
house all know what to expect. The
protection that wool now enjoys will
be m of the first items that will be
assaulted and the very foundation of
the wealth and prosperity that now
make this the favored spot of the en-
tire country will be in danger. Our
democratic friends may declare that
they are in favor of a protective tar
if on raw products, particularly wool,
and their speakers and editors may
aver with all the earnestness at their
command that the men in congress
from this state may be relied upon
to- stand by it's interests when the
time comes, but they do not mean It.
They are bound to their party's pol
icy of free trade and are to be de-
pended upon to vote that way when
put to the test.
Those of this county who may be
inclined to vote for Mr.. Evans have
only to bark back,a few years to see
wherein they are likely to make a
very serious mistake. The time is
not so far back when a democratic
tariff was in force and all can easily
recall it's effects locally. Wool sold
at figures so low that it's production
became impossible and the man who
was unfortunate enough to find him
self with a band of sheep on his hands
was really to be pitied. Wherever
possible he sold them, unless the
sheriff and cerditors saved him the
trouble, and many men who had been
comfortably off found themselves re-
duced to straits as hard as those of
the laborers whom erstwhile they had
been able to employ. Not only were
the f1ockmasters affected, but the en-
tire community was made to suffer
because of democratic incompetency
and lack Of ability TIC legislate for the
welfare of the nation. With a return
of a republican president and con-
gress matters speedily changed for
the better. Wool was afforded the
protection it needed and ranges that
had been deserted soon again teemed
with countless sheep. The tlockmas-
ter no longer need fear the ccmpeti.
ton of the Canadian wool grower and
the imaginary line that divided them
because a barrier to the one that he
could not cross and afforded protec-
ton tc, the other so strong that he
has continued safe and secure ever
since. Billings through this protect
ing was made the worlds
greatest initial wool market, a matter
not only of pride, but of material inn
portance to it's citizens.

to return to the days of democratic
and stagnation in all
branches of business, or do you del

nate conditions shall continue? By
