:Repaying the Editor.

It was local philosopher who said
that newspaper candidate is a weak
candidate because he has usually said
some things about people, which they
remember while the seditor has forgot.
William Randolph Hearst has been
complaining that the New York news
papers did not fairly represent him.
The newspapers have reioined that If
it were. true Mr.. Hearst would have no
reason to complain. They call his at
,tention. to the fact; that virtue, like
charity, should begin at home, and they
have dug up out Of f:sthe files of his
newspapers and his own speeches some
expressions about American citizens
which make the remarks about Candi-
date Hearst look mild and tame. Here
are some Of them: 49, 4. .sss:d
\ William McKinley~-an incompetent
poltroen. s1a -svs>f ---s-@.
b, Theodore Roosevelt-,-a player to the
colored gallery. = zs.s5 n
y Grover Cleveland-a convenience of
predatory wealth. r.,
Elihu Root-a spotty corporation at
Ftorney; Ryan's jackal. :
|. Secretary Bonaparte--a cab horse.
Alton B. Parker-a cockroach; a
wsterbug. -. m
7" Speaker Cannon-as INSCRIPTIONS as
fox in barnyard. ,.,...s...43..s.~ IL: Z.
None Of these characterizations is
brilliant, witty or true: They are mostly
addressed to the groundlings whose ami

talk in loud type. ! The rawlings Of
Hearst regarding Mckinley. Indirectly
led to the latter's violent death.
It may be argued That MI. Hearst
is not responsible for everything that
goes into his newspapers, since he does
not see it all. But nevertheless he
takes credit for everything good that
appears in his newspapers. He even
reprints Brisbane's editorials, some Of
which are good and some no good, with
Hearst's name on them and no men

The: Hearst campaign Of defamation
is returning to annoy him. The merely

The Tax Amendment.

The discussion Of the tax amendment
as it relates to church property has
gone far enough to show that the fear
OF great amounts Of property being alb,
sorbed into the non-taxable class is
groundless. The presence or absence
of the words FUSED for religious pur.
poses' does not control. The thing
which controls is that fact that the
phrase church property already has q
definite meaning which, the courts I'M
derstand. It does not admit of any
construction which would allow church
societies to hold great blocks of prop:
erty not subject to taxation. Besides,
the statute already limits the amount
of income-producing property, which "a
church can hold to $4,000 annually. I'm
der this state Of facts there is no sense
in the scare over the possible escape
Of a large amount Of property thru the
amendment. - psf. .. =. .-, -:
How or when the issue over church
property started is not now clearly IN
derstood. It may have begun, with
some people who were sincerely anxious
lest the amendment have the effect
feared. It may have started with those
who wished to defeat the amendment
for other reasons. l>1'- N.--"
However it started, it has attained
a prominence in the discussion. which
docs not deserve. It has dwarfed con-
sideration Of the amendment to an ex.
tent which is regrettable. The purpose
of the amendment is to broaden the
legislatures hold upon the subject of
taxation. Its intention is to place
property so far under the control of
the legislature that it may enact laws
that will bring some large classes Of
property, which now escape. tribute to
the state, under the law. The effect of
this would be to tighten the burden
upon other classes of property which
have been paying more than their share
Of taxes. 49, ...
It is quite logical that those owning
this untaxed property should desire to
have it continue untaxed. They can
have no affirmative interest. in the
amendment. On. the other hand, they
would not be so stupid as to oppose it
openly. The church-property scare
would be a very handy weapon fol
them to WELD. They may have WELD
ed it. 's-' $500. r. y 1877
Against the theory Of the terrible
spread Of church property under the
amendment we have the opinion Of the
attorney general, Of Senator Wilson
who piloted It thru the senate, and OF
as good lawyers as John Lind, that it
can have no such effect as is outlined
by the opposition.

Which One Means It?

In an address to the democrats Of
Indiana William J. Bryan said the
other day: r..
Let every democrat pick out q re-
/ publican and supply him with litera-
ture. Converts are made more by con-
9iversations between neighbors than by
public speeches. ~.-.
Here is an opinion from man who
mas addressed more people than any
other man living on political questions.
& He says more converts are made in con-
.yersations between neighbors than by
/ public speeches.
Applying Mr.. Bryan's doctrine to the
/ situation of the gentleman whose let
/ ter was alluded to in the Sunday Jour-
nal what does it show? That he can
i accomplish more for his candidate by
talking privately with his neighbors
/ and friends than if he were able to
make a public speech in behalf of his
candidate.
There is no question that great
Y majority Of the people are in favor of
square law enforcement. They are
/ tired Of gun-shoe administrations. On
this issue they will vote for the candi-
II date who is really for the square deal.
/ Which one ISL This is the only ques-
tion to be determined. When Mr..
Haynes was mayor before, he made no
pretense Of enforcing the Sunday laws,
! nor the laws against gambling. He
gumshoed thru two years and at, the
I end fattered himself that he had been
! neither approved nor condemned. Now
he comes up as law enforcement can
{ didate. He says he accepts the g lid y
/ as an accomplished fact. But it is
noticeable that he has not parted with
company with those who deny that the
lido is an accomplished fact. There
/ are only two classes Of voters in the
4 city today, those who favor the en-.
! forcement of law, and those who oppose
i it. There are only two candidates
+ who have chance to be mayor. On
4 whose side are those against law en-
forcement aligned9 Are they fol
a Mayor Jones7
I The whole question in the campaign
4 is which of these two candidates means
I what he says. Will any man who fav
/ ors law enforcement vote for Haynes on
& his promise to keep the Sunday saloon
d closed when he has chance to vote fo1
: q man who not only gives the promise
! but has the record Of having done it
Will any brewery agent or gambler
! vote for Jones on the superstition botf
candidates are on the same platform

or revolution, by which her chief and
most beautiful city has been ascending
In the scale of municipal reform and
CIVIC righteousness. The first important
step in this direction, after the over
throw Of the >Ames regime was the sig
nal defeat of the republican nominee for
mayor, who was not a representative of
the best political ideals. The admins
tration of the democratic mayor was
disappointment to his republican friends,
who believed him competent and hon
est, and who by their suffrage made his
calling and election sure. His defeat for
reelection by the present incumbent,
Mayor Jones. was the logical outcome Of
a thoroly aroused moral public Sent
ment, that was insistent for better en-
forcement of law. That this demand
has been fully met and satisfied, the
morally courageous and superb admins
tration of Mayor Jones Is the best an

duty, an infexible purpose. reinforced by
an abundance Of moral fiber, Mayor Jones
