ASSAlLlNG THE TARIFF.
Democrats Seem Determined to Force
q Disturbing Issue.

Signs increase that the Democratic
leaders are determined to force the tariff
issue to the front in the presidential cam
paign. While Republicans will welcome
the discussion of this question, we'll
knowing that it is sure to add many
thousands Of votes to their majOrities,
they cannot but regret the selection of
the tariff as the main issue, because of
the unfortunate influence it will have up
on the business interests of the country.
so far this year the presidential cam
paign has not blocked business and firan-
Cial activity. Affairs proceed rs usual.
In all lines of business there is Il hope
fulness and confidence which is most en-
couraging. But il the country is to be
confronted with another visitation of tar
iff revision agitation, with even a re-
| mote chance of success in the election,
there is bound to be n great slump in
the industrial world and a corresponding
| depression in all business interests.
1t Is we'll remembered what happened
ten years ago. when. rs President Roose-
| welt puts it, "the last attempt was made
by means OF lowering the tariff to pre-
vent some people from prospecting too
much. The attempt was entirely sue
cessful. The tariff law OF that year was
among the causes which in that year
and for some time afterwards effectually
prevented anybody from prospecting toe
much, and labor from prospecting Mt all,
Undoubtedly it would be possible at the
present time to prevent any OF the trusts
from remaining prosperous by the simple
expedient OF making such n sweeping
change in the tariff as to paralyze the
| Industries of the country.'
The people OF the United States will
not soon court again the destruction and
panic of 1893. Once is enough for on
generation. There will be a tremendous
vote against tariff legislation by thu
Democrats.
The confidence Of the country ma,
stand even throughout n tariff revision
campaign. but it is risking a good dea
to raise that issue in the manner con
templated. They, however, have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose. The!
have got to have something to stanC
upon, and complete failure in every otheI
attack made upon the Republican posi-
ton has driven them upon the tariff a
a standing outpost of Republicanisn
which can always be assailed. wheI
nothing else affords a convenient target

THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
A Man OF Action, Who Cen BE Relied
on In Emergencies.

Theodore Roosevelt occupies a unique
position in the estimation of the Ameri-
can people. 1t is not that other men in
public life are not honest. or earnest or
incorruptible-these qualities are not
rare. 1t is that Mr.. Roosevelt combines
them in an unusual way. He il possess
ed OF great physical vitality and mental
energy: he has OF his own taste and his
W motion entered into various occu-
pations that have put him in touch and
sympathy with all classes of men, high
and low. When he was q ranchman he
made the cowboys his friends so that
when he became "a soldier they clamored
to be of his regiment. He became Police
Commissioner in New York, not for 1.-THE
money there was in it," as was the GUS
tom in New York, but to see that certain
abuses were remcdied. They were rem
edicd in spite OF the opposition OF other
TENDERS OF the board. He became AS
sistant Secretary Of the Navy in order
to carry out certain plans of naval pro-
gress. He enlisted in the Spanish war
from patriotic motives and made a rec
ord. He was elected Governor OF New
York on account Of his public services
and was nominated for Vice President
against his own wishes for the same
reason. In all these positions and as
President OF the United States he has
done his duty fearlessly and honestly.
The people have learned to regard him
as a man of action; as a man who does
things, and who can he relied on in an
emergency. In common phrase he is
regarded as a man "who will do to tie
to-"
Against such a record as this the neg
alive record OF a man who has done
nothing but write legal opinions and in
dOrse Democratic platforms mounts ia
nothing. As a man Of executive ability
and Of action Judge Parker is mot in

Mr.. FAIRBANKS LETTER,
A Clear and Effective Statement OF
Repub1icaa Principles.

Senator F~airbanks's letter Of accept
ance IL a document which appeals direct.
ly to the business men and workers gem
erally. 1t states clearly some Of the most
important. but perhaps not sufficiently
understood, tenets OF the Republican
| party in its conflict with Democracy.
In calling attention to the service done
t. the entire country 10y the establish
ment Of tho Bureau OF Commerce and
Labor. with a special department to deal
with corporations, the Senator points out
the first real attempt by the government
to deal with the trust problem. lie clear
ly sees that the regulation Of the great
combinations OF capital by law IL pos
sible. is necessary. and I've shows the
consistent course OF the Republican party
in this regard.
As to our foreign policy Senator Fair
banks rightly considers that We have
much to be proud OF in the firm. conscr-
vative and thoroughly broad and Chris
tian policy which has been adhered to
during the years of Republican admins
t%ration. The tremendous expansion in
our trade. our foreign interests and IN
fuence has been accomplished by peace
full methods. and no remote sign OF war
has appeared upon our horizon in the
Ndi iht tSttbiiSIllclll Va new
National relations or our acquisition Of
a vast territory in the far East.
In his cnunciation OF the Republican
idea of the desirability of closer trade
relations with our great neighbor. Can
ada. the candidate for the Vice FRESH
dency is peculiarly happy. He is plainly
for a liberal movement for reciprocity
between this country and the people inst
over the line to the north. lie also
emphasizes the value of the ''open door"
secured for us in China. and promises a
continuance OF the benefits of that re-
suit OF our recent foreign policy.
AS a whole. the letter Of the Vice Pres
idential candidate is a strong paper. one
which commands respect and confidence.
Senator Fairbanks is meeting the Ameri-
can people face to face, from one end
of the country to the other, in his very
lively campaign. 1t is well, however. to
have in hand his written opinions and
aspirations as a public man on the great
questions at issue at this moment

BACKED BY The TRUSTS.
Tho Democratic Cnsh-Box Ia Rcceiv-
ing Liberal Contributions.

The trusts long ago recognized Presi-
dent Roosevelt as n dangerous foe to ille-
gal m~onopOlies. If the money power of
the United States could have defeated
ltoosevelt's nomination at the Chicago
convention ii would have FASTENED to 10
so. 1t saw, in time, that the people had
set their hearts upon ROosevelt's candi-
dacy. and, leaving the Republicans out of
the ease. they turned to the Democrats.
In Judge Parker they found, apparently,
n man of that cast of mind which toler.
atcs questionable behavior, procrasti-
mates decisive action, and leans to Irece-
dent so strongly as to balk advance--the
very man for the giant trusts to play
with.
When Judge Parker's speech of accept
ance was read, his remarks upon the
trusts were ~anxiously scanned by the peo-
pie. Disappointment came to those who
| were not already awake to the actual ma
ture of David Bennett Hills manipula-
tons in connection with the nomination
Of Parker.
"Wait till we see where the trusts put
| their money" said one wavering indie.
pendent, not yet willing to give up the
hope of n Democratic fight upon illegal
trusts.
There was not long to wait. 1t is a
matter OF public knowledge that the
great trusts are pouring money into the
Democratic campaign treasury. TIL to-
bacco trust, the sugar trust, the oil trust,
the New York transportation trust, all
are known to have contributed literally
to Belmont's treasure chest. These COM
binations of capital well know how and
when to he liberal. They see in the
election IF Parker their only protection
against n straightforward, courageous
chief executive who will enforce the
United States laws for the control of
combinations Of capital and illegal mo-
nopolies.
The trusts do not wint Roosevelt for
President. The great combinations of
capital have delicate susreptibilities when
it comes to their Immediate or remote
prospects for gain. BIT money cannot
carry the presidential e~ection. The Ger.
tainty that the trusts are working for
Parker will only send hundreds OF thou.
sands Of voters to the polls to cast their
ballots for Roosevelt. Their own EN-.
ploycs will vote againss the candidate OF
the trusts. Judge Parier's shutting sen,
fences about a non.xistent common
law" and it's possible Ilealings with the
trusts gave the American people their
first liar" as to the position of the Dem.
ocratic nominee on tbs question. The
heavy contributions 81 the trusts to the
Parker campaign fluid have completed
the awakening as to The attitude Of the
great combinations ind m%onopolies In
this presidential election.
Parker may well sly. in this connec
ton. as well as in tie contemplation o.
most OF his close associates, Save m,
from my friends!"

party in power-has been its building up
OF the rural delivery system. 1t has ac-
complished a tremendous work in the
extension of the work of the POstoaics

The announcement OF Charley
plppin for the Office Of county atkor-
ney appears In this Issue.
He was born and raised in Ellis
county and began bis professional
life In this county in 1896, when he
was admitted to the bar. He has
filled the office of assistant county
attorney at Ennis to the entire sat
isfaction of the people for the past
three years, having been appointed
by Mr.. Farrar at the beginning of
his term of office and is familiar
with the duties of the office, and
has won for himself a reputation as
an officer, using that good judgment
required in the successful admins
tration of all public affairs.
He has authorized us to say that
be favors local government. And
if elected will use all means at bis
command to cause the trial of mis-
demeanor cases over which justices
of the peace have jurisdiction TO be
held in the precinct wherein the of
tense was committed. He thinks
the policy of our Law is, and that IT
was intended by the legislature when
1t enacted the following law, to
bring the courts TO the people. Art.
472 reads as follows:
causes over which justices OF
the peace have jurisdiction may be
transferred to a justice of the peace
at the county seat, or in the discre-
ton of the Judge, to the justice of
the precinct in which the same can
be most conveniently tried, as may
appear by memorandum Endorsed by
the foreman of the grand jury on
the indictment or otherwise; but If
il appear to the judge that the Of
tense has been committed In any in
corporated town or city, the cause
shall be transferred to justice in
said town or city, If there be one
therein; and any justice to whom
any such cause may be transferred
shall have jurisdiction to try the
same"
Notwithstanding the law permits
these cases to be tried in the county
court he believes it right TO save
the loss of time, expense and trou-
BILE of attending county court, as
witnesses and jurors, to the people.
His announcement is made sub
ject to the action of the democratic
primary election.
