IS IT A DEMOCRATIC oP ENING2

Is the democratic party of the nation
likely to make friends with the great
octopus known as the trust? That is
the latest possibility looming UP on the
horizon, and is plausibly sustained by
Thomas F. Ryan, well-known leader
In financial and industrial affairs, in ar
article quoted elsewhere. His theory is
that it can resist federal encroachment,
such as is involved in trust legislation,
on the cid state rights ground, and in
harmony with conservative tendencies.
Mr. Ryan argues that if the democrats
in the southern states. will unite with
eastern democrats, revert to the old
conservatism, cease to coquette with
populism, or to follow vagaries which
have recently united against the demo-
cratic party all who had dollar to lose,
they might succeed in assuring the sue
presidential campaign. For then. those
of the northern states in which the
democratic party is strong would unite
with them in nominating a ticket that
would represent a safe and conserva-
tive policy, and that ticket might rely
upon receiving the support of every
democrat and OF many conservative re-
publicans in the northern states. Among
the policies for which the democratic
no fy stand the present
ment. Mr. Ryan specifies the following:
a moderate tariff for revenue. without
prejudice to domestic industries; a
sound currency: moderation in public
expenditures: the restriction OF the fed
eral government to its legitimate func-
tions. and opposition to the further eX-
industries of the people of the states.
Mr.. Ryan's views are Interesting, even
tho they bring sinister smile to Bry-
ian's face, and antagonize a large ele-
sment Of the democratic party.
Altho both parties and all parties
have inveighed against the trust. there
is feeling among the thoughtful men
of all parties that the possibilities in
VOWED IN attempted control may bring
forth the gravest consequences. The
republican party is making an honest
attempt in congress along conservative
lines to meet the public demand for
such control without interfering with
business, but the outcome is cloudec
with doubt

Tawncy for Tariff Revision.
IMinneapolis Tribune.l

There is far more hope in Represen-
tative Tawney's resolution looking to
tariff revision than in that introduced
in the senate by Mr.. Lodge Tawney's
resolution goes to the heart of the mat
ter. 1t attacks the question OF tariff re-
vision, as it was attacked by the con-
gress that framed the Dingley bill. a
joint commission of senators and rep
resentatives elect is to examine the
whole question of reduction of duties,
expansion of foreign trade and maxi
mum and minimum schedules during
the recess and report to the next con-
gress. The Dingley bill was framed In
this way before the congress that pass
ed 1t met, and the work of legislation
was very expeditions.
This resolution has not the authority
of the, house organization behind IT.;
but that authority is much diminished
of late. It has the public sentiment of
the whole west behind it. and will have
the support of the president. 1t Is In d.
rect line with the new republican policy
that dates from the last speech OF the
late President Mckinley at Buffalo.
There have bene signs of late that
houses are aware of the urgency of
public demand for dealing with this
matter. Undoubtedly 1T is the wish of
these leaders to avoid any action at this
session; but we do not believe that they
can go so far as to refuse the inquiry
into changed conditions and the means
Of adapting legislation to them recon-
mended by the president and demanded
by public opinion. The house organi-
cation and senate leaders can not turn
down Mr.. Tawney's resolution without
substituting one of their own.

TRIBUTES 70 AN t0wAN.

- The death of Congressman j. n. w.
Rumple. of the Second Iowa district,
has brought out a number of tributes
from leading journalists, showing his
worth as citizen and as a public man.
The Sioux City Journal says of him;
John Rumple was a brave man and 4
splendid citizen. Thirty years ago
Capt. Rumple was a member of the
Iowa senate, and since that time he sus-
tanned wide state acquaintance. His
last service there was in 1880, but his
people at home kept him in association
with public duties of some kind. He
was a member of the board Of regents
of the state university. curator of the
state historical society member of the
city council of Marengo. mayor of his
town, city solicitor member OF the
school board, and all that sort of thing.
sss Capt Rumple was a popular man
among his associates. He was helpful
man, considerate and patient"
The Des Moines Register and Lead
er's expression is much in the same ten
or.
Captain Rumple had wide ac-
/ quaintance in the state, and acquain.-
,. ance with him meant friends. 1t
was matter of general regret to re-
publicans in Iowa when last summer it
became known that Captain Rumples
failing health would not permit him to
stand for second congressional nomi-
nation. He served the state well, was
always loyal to its best interests, and
was a type of man such as a state al
ways has too few and which, once hav-
ing, does not easily lose.'
The Davenport Republican, published
in his district, concludes an article by
stating
Personally Mr.. Rumple was most
lovable man. and had few enemies. Be
cause of failing health he declined a
second nomination for congress, much
to the regret of his constituents. Dur
ing the short time he served in that
body he did good work, and had his
health permitted, he would have made
strong member. His death will be
mourned all over Iowa, and deeply so in
the Second district"
Altho Congressman Rumple had less
than month to serve, 1t will be neces-
sary, under the constitution, to call an
election for successor for the unex-
pired term. Judge Wade. who was
elected by the democrats for the sue
ceeding term, or Mr.. Hoffman, whom he
Defeated, may be the one thus honored.

| States by the constitution, nor prohib-
] tied by it TO the states, are reserved tC
the states respe ctively, or to the peo-
pie"
To guard the rights of the states and
of the people under the constitution
| has been the historic mission of the
democratic party. and is more than
ever its obligation today. To guard the
impair or destroy it, is necessary to
prevent our system of checks and ball
ances from being perverted into a CEN
tralized bureaucracy, capable of being
turned by incompetence, ambition, or
Imsdiracted zeal, in moments of popu-
lar passion. against those political at
tributes of the citizen which THE Bill
of Rights declares to be sacred.
THE constitution as it is" is a battle
cry which may come to nave a vital
meaning. and which may again array
those who love their country under the
banner of the democratic party.
VI.
There has of late been an evasion of
the constitution which was but the first
step to an invasion of it. Nothing has
happened In forty years that has given
more concern to all thoughtful men
than the usurpation by the executive
of the power to interfere between the
employer and the employed. Further
more, it is impossible to disconnect 1t
from the expressed intention to force
an amendment to the constitution for
ends wholly at variance with its spirit
and with the intent of its trainers
ends than which nothing could ulti-
mately prove more subversive of the
rights of the states or more destructive
of the very foundations of the govern
ment itself. 1t will be for the de-
mocracy to offer a determined, perse-
vering and overwhelming resistance to
oil such trespass. Fealty to the con-
stitution and proper respect to the
principles therein indicated by our
fathers are a sufficient guide and inspi-
ration to party conduct.
VII.
Against these new follies of budding
state socialism, the democratic party
of the union can afford to array itself
with unflincning faith, and in such
movement the democrats OF the south
should be the leaders. Such atti-
tude would be in harmony with the
democratic faith of the past 1t would
be In harmony with the best asplra-
tons of the democracy for the future.

the state legislature. the Keokull Cat,
City says: He has served twelve years
in the legislature, eight of them in the
upper house, and has made an enviable
record for ability and fidelity. There
will be general regret over his decision
to retire.
The Eldora Herald observes that 1T

any moment and thus make certain an
altogether harmonious state convention
next summer"
In noticing that President Roosevelt
has espoused the interests of the people
as opposed to the interests of corporate
wealth, the Webster City Freeman
Tribune thinks 1T remains to be seen
whether the people will stand by him
or bow down to the golden calf
The Rockford Register suggests that
Some day some nice man will discover
that the old law of supply and demand
has more TO do with high priced COM
modities than the trusts"
The Traer Star-Clipper thinks There
is a studious quiet, silence almost
on certain matters since Iowas

Certain newspapers in the Fourth
district are already talking about Con-
gresham Haugens successor. to be

in counting out Mr. Haugen. The Argo
says that gentleman will be "a pretty

Tho Rich He Chose to Be Tramp.
rNew York World

Having given up wealth and friends
to be a tramp. and after roaming about
the country for thirty years, George
Sheldon died in Oswego, N. Y, Sunday.
He inherited large fortune. After
his fathers death he gave his brother
all his share except money enough for
his needs, and started to wander
around the country.
He dressed shabbily. wore his hair
and beard long and walked from place
to place. He boosted that he never
paid a cent for railroad fare. He at
tended every county fair in the state
for many years. In 1898 he walked to
the worlds fair in Chicago. He tramp
ed from Oswego to New York two
years ago.
He was arrested often as a vagrant,
but was set free When he showed that
he had money.

Post Check Currency.

New York Press.
Familiarity with the post check
currency plan is the chief essential to
unqualified approval. Acquaintance
with it is easy. The government is
sues 81. So and IS bills. much like Bank
of England notes, having blank spaces
thereon. These bills possess al the vir-
tues of our present currency, with this
new one added: That when the owner
the mails he sticks on a two-cent
stamp, cancels it, writes in the blank
spaces his name and the name of the
payee and the operation transforms the
currency into a check which will be
paid, on Identification, by any money
order postoffice or by any bank. This
we should say, is the extreme of ia
cility and implicitly. 1t provides every
body with a check book which he can
fill out at will, without the trouble
even of making deposit! We would
get clean, fresh, new bills always. The
West, which, owing to its distance
from the points of issue, is forced to
handle more filthy and germ carrying
money than the east must appreciate
the Improvement
No curtailment of the present money
order system is contemplated save to
the extent that the people lessen its
operation by the change to the far
more convenient way of sending re-
mittances which the post check pro-
vides. The farmer need not go to the
postoffice nor the city business man
~, edo ic. Al
tional convenience which undoubtedly
would become widely and warmly pop
ular in the first six months of it's oper-
alton. Merchants will welcome it be-
cause the volume of trade always in
creases with added facility of doing
business. That wait at the money
order window in the city, that trip to
the postoffice in rural communities,
have prevented no one knows how
many little commercial transactions
which in the aggregate no doubt are a
large sum.
For the reasons stated, merchants
everywhere are in favor of adding this
new facility to our commerce Bankers
favor it, for it will reduce the volume
of 81 checks which must go thru the
same machinery as $1,000 checks. Pub
fishers enthusiastically favor it, for
reasons which appeal even more to
them than to the sellers of merchan-
disc. Their advocacy of post check
currency is based on the conviction
that ii will win instantaneous and
lasting popularity. We have read the
argument made In it's behalf before the
house committee on the postotfice and
post roads by Mr.. c. w. Post, of Battle
Creek, Mich, the author of this ingen
ious device, and the many questions
put to him by representatives, and the
answers he gave to those questions.
And from them we should say that
every imaginable objection to the pro
posed innovation has been anticipated
or provided negligible. The post check
plan ought to be brought by
the committee to the early attention
of congress, with it's recommendation
for favorable consideration

BUILDER LIKE IT.
vinol does create strength.
~ A 4 9

vinol does create strength.
We know that and have proved Il in
many instances.
The reason Vinol rejuvenates and
strengthens q person is that it acts
directly upon the stomach, strengthens
ing and toning up this great vital organ
and enabling it to obtain for itself,
from the food that is taken into it, the
elements which are required to make
firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
sound bone structure and pure healthy
blood.
Vinol does this in a scientific way
and is enabled to do it because it con-
tains, dissolved in delicate mild wine,
in q highly concentrated state, the act-
i've principles of cod-liyer oil.
Vinol does not contain any of tho
grease that formerly characterized cod
liver oil, hence is free from all the OBJ
jectionable features which made it im-
possible for patients to take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
Vinol in its favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs OF the
body acts also in beneficial way upon
the nerves and brain, and will be
found to be invaluable to brain workers
as well as body workers.
The following letter is from a we'll
known authoress. It reads as follows:
II wish to acknowledge the receipt
of the Vinol and testify to its great
benefits. Since taking it am much
improved in health, and during the In
tense heat of last August should not

to say in regard to Vinol.

everything we claim for It, we.
will gladly refund to you tho
amount you have paid Us.
