"TELL THE TRUTH.

Addressing Yale students, Rev. DR.
Rainsford said:
mir. Roosevelt has earned the thanks
Of this country for the good he has done
telling the truth.
1.-The man who tells the truth and
sticks to to it does the most lasting
good. whether he tells that truth at
the dinner table or in public"
Did Mr.. Roosevelt tell the truth when
In his Life of Thomas" lie agreed
with political economists that protec
ton lis vicious in theory and harmful
in practice?" Then did he stick to it
when he advocated protective tariff
wherein the duty should more than
equal to the cost of wages abroad aud
at home?
Did he tell the truth III his Cincinnati
speech on Septemb Der 90. 1902, when he
said that the tariff did not foster trusts,
and asserted that the anthracite trust.
was not protected by tariff duties?
Did he stick to 1t when in his message
OF December, 1902, he admitted that
the tariff can produce monopoly. and
recommended the removal of the tariff
on anthracite coal?
DID be tell the truth when, in bis
speech at LOganspOrt. Ind he admitted
thai the tariff might need revision, aud
when in his message of December. 1902.
he said That it was important that n
tariff commission be appointed? Did
he stick to it when he later adopted the
stand pat" policy and showed his
utter contempt for the tariff question
by ignoring it in his latest message to
Congress?
DID he tell the truth when he rejected
the little gift of a sllken flag woven by
the hands of a patriotic American girl
on the ground that the President of II e
United States should not receive gifts?
Did he stick to it when he accepted free
OF all cost special trains at the hands
of railroad magnatpS?
Did he tell the truth when in his
Ranch Life and Hunting Trail" he
said that the cowboys are much better
fellows and more pleasant companions
than small farmers and agricultural
laOorerF; nor are the mechanics and
wOrkmen of the great cities to ua
mentioned in the same Dreath?" Did
he stick to it when he came To appeal
for the votes Of the small farmers, the
agriculture: labOrers and the mechanics
and wOrkmen of the great cities?

IF LAWS and administrations have
nothing to do with enhancing the
values Of trust prop critics how does it
harpen that all of these interests and
men representing them are so active in
the elections? How does 1t happen
tina. they have representatives in the
lobbies Of congress and legislatures?
The man who says that legislation has
no effect one way or the other, Is sadly
in need of head regulator.

Bale WAGGENER has been appoint

Bale WAGGENER has been appoint
ed by Gov. Bailey to prosecute the &C
ton in the DeBolssiere case to recover
the estate from Troutman & Stone.
There is good big fee in it and
Waggener is very lucky. For demo.
-crat he stands mighty close to the
machine" This reminds us that
during all Of last winters session of
the legislature he and Cy Leland labor
ed together very tremendously. We
fear that the g4ntleman's democracy is
1noculated with too many republican
germs

HOW ANY man who has been affiIiat.
ing with the Peoples party can now re,
turn to that republican party consist
tently, we can not understand. We
have heard such action excused on the
theory that President Roosevelt is
trust fighter, but the first instance OF
any act of his which jastities such a
conclusion has yet to be cited. He is
the same advocate of high tariff, the
foster parent Of trusts, as Marx Hanna
is. He is as much opposed to enforc.
ing the criminal clause of the Sherman
antitrust law as any other republican
official at Washington is. He is not
in favor Of an income tax. He is Op-
posed to government ownership and
control of public utilities. He endorses
our present banking system and, in
short, Stands squarely on the republican
pro trust platform. No man can be a
sincere believer in the principles ad
vOcated by populism aud vote the re.
publican ticket. Any other party in
existence comes nearer representing
those principles.

ACCORDING TO the Kansas City and
Topeka papers, the few Populist ad-
ministratlOns which did business in
Kansas several years ago, weren't so
bad after all. It used to cost the state
only 1900, 900 per year to run things
under Populism. Now it Is costing
$2,5OO,OOO. Please remember that this
is republican authority that we are
quoting, hence it is not shading the
figures in favor of Populism. Verify,
Truth crushed to earth shall rise
again"

WE would like for some wise repub-
