WHY HE DID 1T.

President Roosevelt says of his efforts in
bringing about arbitration as means OF set
thing the recent great coal strike in the anthra-
cite region
at was only this action by the President
which prevented the movement for national
ownership of the coal fields from gaining what
might we'll have been an irresistible power"
Speaking OF this admission, Mr.. Bryan says
"We have all along been told that Mr..
Roosevelt suggested the arbitration OF the coal
strike fvr the protection of the people who
were then suffering because of lack of fuel.
But now, Mr.. Roosevelt points out that, but
for his action, the movement for national own
ership of the coal fields might we'll have gained
an irresistible impetus
care we to understand, and, indeed: is not
the inference fair one, that, in the suggestion
for the coal.strike arbitration, Mr. Roosevelt
was moved more through fear of public owner
ship of the coal mines than because of any
serious concern for the people?"

From the Cincinnati Post
Big newspaper guns have been turned on
William Jennings Bryan because of his new
platform. He has nailed his colors to the mast,
and will advocate, regardless of the result of
the national election:
State ownership and operation OF railways.
Government ownership and operation OF
teegraphs.
Popular election OF federal judges and Unit
ed States senator's.
Local nomination of postmasters.
His enemes-and he has them in clusters
say that the platform is stark, staring, bowling
madness, and rot even worth discussing.
But are any of the issues he has touched
upon we'll regulated, from the peoples stand

try that will eventually, If not checked, Guido

communications by wire as well as by mail! 1t

ice with less error and greater dispatch than a
private company could hope to equal
The misuse of power by federal judges has
given growth to popular hatred for that par
ticular branch of authority. The fact cannot

wrong, but they hate we'll
The election OF United States senator's has
become a synoym for Doodle, and seats in the
"Millionaires' Club" at Washington are pur-
chased as surely as the sun shines.
1t is an advanced platform, but to call 1t
"howline madness" is to stamp every new Ism
as dementia. Municipal ownership has been
called folly, and some of the best minds in tha
country were convinced that high protection IS
highway robbery, and so it goes along the line
of things untried.
Mr.. Bryan serves his country by forcing the
people to think He doesn't ring the bell ev'

HOcus POcus Money Book.

Although Populists have always insisted that
the money problem overshadows all Others III
Importance, our entangling alliances have KEEP,
it in the background for several years. The
short-lived comparative prosperity that was
caused by the increased output of gold and
bank bills and hocus pocus money eliminated
year or two ago, and, since then, conditions
have constantly grown worse--because of the
steadily -increasing disproportion between the
volume OF business the people wished to trans
act and the amount of money available for that
purpose. Yet, with the wolf of want already
installed in scores of thousands of homes, and
logging the footsteps of myriads of wanderers,
both of the old parties assert that the money
problem is "irrevocably settled"
Fortunately, the "Hocus Pocus Money Book"
just published is crammed with vitality import
ant and irrefutable facts which throw food of
light on the cause of this change-and points
out what looks like the only road to safety.
The phase. of the money problem it considers
is the one that has heretofore been Leaf discuss
ed, and clear understanding OF what is most
necessary at this particular time Indeed, most
people will find much of it entirely new and
startling. 1t was written and is published by
Albert Griffin, of Topeka, Kas and will be
mailed by him to any sending IS cents for
single copy, or 81 for copies
As we believe that its circulation will greatly
help our cause, we trust that all friends of mon
etary reform will procurs copies for themselves
and call the attention of others to it.

Ii MADE HIM SICK.

The expose of the Standard Oil trust, the
copper trust and other great combinations by
Thomas w. Lawson, IN Everybody IS Magazine,
is creating an unusual furore, and some of the
trust magnates are worried. Henry M. Rog-
ers, of the Standard Oil Company, branded as
"director of every move of the giant octopus, ]"
Is seriously sick at his palatial summer home
near New Bedford, Mass.-al due to worrying
over Mr.. Lawson's expose.
Those who are not reading Mr.. Lawson's
attacks on these great thieving institutions are
certainly missing something rich-something
which every citizen ought to know. And, by
the way, Mr.. Lawson says that, after he fin
ishes the publication of this matter in print, he
will take the case into court.

washington Feb. 27.--The s"nate
today approached nearer to Rlbuster
than on any former occasion during the

made on the part Of the democratic
senators against requiring the use OF
American ships for the shipment OF
government supplies and amendment
after amendment was offered, Only to

were interspersed with the debate, so
between the two forms OF procedure
the entire session was consumed. on
most votes the senate divided on party
lines. but Mitchell three or four times
voted with the democrats. Mitchell
tried to change the time when the bill
shall take effect and in this he had the
cooperation Of Dietrich and Fulton.
At the close Of the day, Hale consent-
ed to make material notifications OF
the bill, whereupon the unanimous
agreement was reached to vote on 1t
Tuesday.
