to condense what he has to say The
Hon Marcus Kline one of Pennsylya-
MAS -four Democratic representatives
in congress seems to know how to do
this In Il recent interview he squeezed
the political issues into Il very small
space. as follows:
If l were in Judge Parker's place 1
would in the Forthcoming letter of accept
ance answer Roosevelt's letter so briefly
that everybody would read what ! said.
I would not use 500 words-say a quarter
of column. | would say:
If elected | will recommend
The rigid enforcement of the common
law for the determination of those con-
spiracies called trusts.
The reduction of the tariff to the level
of requisite revenue, SO that pampered
manufacturers could not sell their prod
ucts abroad cheaper than at home
The announcement of our merchant
marine as q business, not as a sentiment,
SO that if ships cannot be built and run by
US at i profit Of al least per cent I
would leave ocean transportation to those
foreigners who are content with very low
wages

A Self Evident Fib.

Republican stories touching the Dem
ocratic situation are so contradictory
as to be amusing. Recently a great
metropolitan Republican paper stated
that the Democratic national commit
tee is so completely out of funds that
it had ceased even to send out cam
paign documents. On another page of
the same issue it stated that Judge
Parker's only hope of election lies in
Tom Taggart's promise to buy Indiana
outright Query: If the national Demo-
cratic committee is SO thoroughly inn
pecunious that it has been compelled
to discharge 4 large portion of its Of
flee force and to quit sending out cam
paisn literature how in heavens name
can Taggart buy Indiana: The editor
of that paper ought TO get himself to-
gether and tell a lib that is not self
evident Both of the above tales are
not true, and it is a 10 to / shot that
neither is true

IS Post Dispatch says editorialy
The republic Of Liberia was declared
free and independent in 1847 by the United
States
Can Mr.. Roosevelt explain why since
then Liberia has not become the prey
of one Of the great powers waiting to
take UP what from his standpoint is the
task we SO eravenlv abandoned in Civ
ing the Lberan republic independence?
This is his principal argument for deny
ing the right TO establish an Independent
republic to the people Of the Philippines.
He says that if we established or per-
nlitted to be established in the Philip
pines such an Independent republic as we
helped in establishing in Liberia then the
islands would be immediately seized by
some European power.
While every cther part of Africa except
the little republic of Liberia. without
army, navy OF money has been seized by
European powers since 1874 Liberia for
fifty-seven Scsrs has remained on the
map as u monument to the moral power
of the friendly interest of the American
people in Il republic established under
American auspices.
Was il a policy of seuttle'' for the
United States to establish and recognize
before the world the independence of the
I4iberian republic2
And If the question is of 'relapsing into
barbarisn aud anarchy with bloody
conflicts inevitably ensuing" Mr. Roose-
velt cau find by consulting history that
many more lives have been sacrificed by
a single week Of his policies in the Philip
pines than have been sacrificed in Liberia
by all the "barbarism and anarchy Of
the fifty seven Years since the United
States Withdrew from the country and
declared it IN independent republic.
As these are the two points on which
he rests his case in refusing the same
freedom and independence TO the people
Of the Philippines we conceded to the peo-
pie of Liberia it remains for Mr.. Roose-
Welt to explain why all the harm has not
come of the simple justice we did the
people of Liberia which he says would
come from the simple justice we owe the
people Of the Philippines.

Republicans Scared.

That the Republicans are badly scar
ed is shown By the fact that Mr.. Chair
man Cortelyou and his lieutenants are
busy scurlying around the country fry
ing the fat out of trust magnates 1t
is said that they raised $325,000 in
Pittsburs in one day recently, which,
everything considered, is about as sue
cessful fat frying operation as that
far famed one Of pious John Wanna
maker in 1888. which made Mr.. Wanna
maker postmaster general in the
younger Harrison's cabinet, and by
strange coincidence it seems that Mr..
Cortelyou is to be postmaster general
in Roosevelt's administration provid-
ed he is elected Commenting on the
successful touch OF the fat fryers Mt
Pittsburg, the New York Herald says
editorially inter ALA:
While Messrs. Cortelyou and Bliss are
the nominal eanNassers for funds they
are in reality the receivers for moneys
collected by George w Perkins of the
firm of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co, jacob
II. Schiff of Kuhn. Loeb & Co and r. H
Hartman of the St Paul and Union Pa
cifc railroad systems and the Northern
Securities company. the latter being the
object OF President Roosevelt's attack on
trusts, and Senator Nelson w. Aldrich of
Rhode Island father-in~law of John ID.
Rockefeller, Jr.
These are only few of those engaged
in the fat frying operation. They have
been assured that there is nothing to be
feared by them should Mr. Roosevelt be
elected, and by no less a person than
Mr.. Cortelyou. chairman Of the national
committee, formerly private secretary to
the president. later secretary Of COM

a Republican Mistake.

Representative John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi in a recent speech de-
clared that the contention of the Re
publican party that it was responsible
for the prosperity which has attended
the labors of American farmers in re-
cent years reminded him of a story
told BY Abraham Lincoln. Mr.. Lincoln
said there was woodpecker away up
in the top of tree pecking and peck
ing and pecking at the tree, and after
awhile windstorm came along and
blew down the tree and the woodpeck-
er believed to its dying day that it had
pecked the tree down.

originate in 1898; 1t began long prior to
tho presidential election of 1892 That
panic originated and reached its worst
under the famous tariff law known as the
Mckinley bill.
The Republican party was restored to

The Mckinley bill became law Oct. 6,
1890.

Ia the Prime Of Life.


The lively way in which ex-senator
Henry q. Davis has been stumping
Maryland and West Virginia shows
that there is lots of life in that yener-
able statesman vet "A woman is no
older than she looks 50 it is said, and
"a man no older than he feels .Judg-
ing by that rule Mn Davis is still in
the prime Of life. Consequently our
Republican friends may reserve their
''weeps' to borrow an expression from
Artenus Ward by reason of the ca
lamitics which they conjure mp as hap
pening should Judge Parker be elected
and then die before his term expires.
The indications are that Senator Davis
will be hale and hearty for a score of
years yet and will become known as
"America's Grand Old Man" even as
he is now known as West Virginia's
Grand Old Man.

The Treasury Deficit.

The Treasury Deficit.
Hon. Henry q. Davis in his letter of
acceptance seems TO have squarely hit
the target i'll his remarks touching the
treasury deficit, as is demonstrated by
the fact that Republican papers have
jumped on him with both feet for stat
ing that if the deficiency grows to the
end Of the fiscal year at the rate it in
creased in July and August it will
amount to over $140.000,000 Yet he
did not state that the treasury state
surplus for that month of $6000,000.
and they aliege that that statement
was published before he sent his letter
TO the press. which is probably untrue
The statement was published before
his letter was published, but everybody
that has had anything to do with such
matters knows that such documents as
are intended for general circulation
are given to the Associated Press five
or SIX days or even more before the
date OF publication 80 it can send
printed slips to its patrons all over the
land. This fact is we'll known at least
to every metropolitan paper which has
criticised him
Now let's see how the case stands
counting the months Of July, August
and September the first three months
of the fiscal year The Republican pa.
pers cackle over the S6.O00,000 surplus
for September as loudly as d pullet
cackles over her first egg.
Here are the facts: In July and Au-
gust the deficit amounted to nearly
$24 100000 In September the surplus
amounted to about S6,000O00. leaving a
net deficit for the three months of July
August and September of between
SIT 100000 and S1S,O00,000. an average
of nearly $6.000O00 per month which,
projected for the rest of the fiscal year,
will make Il deficiency of about $72,-
100000 by yuly 1.
No man with intelligence enough to
read the treasury reports and with
candor enough to state the truth will
gainsay the foregoing figures.
What's more Mr.. Secretary Of the
Treasury Shaw himself predicts a
deficit for this fiscal year True, he
figures it lower than S72.o00.U0o, but
he is Il very optimistic sort Of Il states
man, especially i'll campaign years.
SO the evidence proves conclusively
that Republican extravaganza Is get
ting the country into Il hole, and the
sooner they are turned out and Demo
Gratis put in the better the country
will he off Nobody wants higher
sue; the Republicans can't economic;
consequently the only remedy is to put
the Democrats in, who will economic.

TO his laurels Senator Charles
Warren Fairbanks has suddenly burst
upon an astounded world in the char
acter of humorist and is running neck
and neck with Yorick for first place.
He has given it out that he considers
Missouri doubtful state ana has
asked the national committee to cancel
some of his eastern dates and to as
sign him to Missouri. | wish the COM
mittee may do so There is no place III
America where Sepator Fairbanks
would be more royalty entertained or
dc less harm There are III counties
in Missouri besides the city OF ST.
Louis, which is a jurisdiction by itself.
1t would be rafting good thing to
have the senator spend every day until
the election i'll Missouri. He would be
delighted with the hospitality extended
to him, and the people would be glad
to have him, for they are great lovers
of humor, and since he has placed Mis-
souri, in the doubtful column they re-
gard him as Il humorist of the rarest
sort. BY all means let the national
committee grant his request to cam
paign in Missouri.
