The postal department and the
department of justice have display
ed a narrowness in their prosecu-
ton of the Appeal to Reason, the
socialist paper published at Girard,
Kansas, that should be discour-
aged. 1t probably is intended as a
move to put the Appeal and social
ism out of business but it is certain
to have the opposite effect. The
paper is a very radical one and
while its circulation is tremendous,
its admirers are comparatively few.
Yet there are fewer who endorse
the attorney generals actions. The
American spirit of freedom and a
free press is so deep rooted that no
man or set of men can annihilate
it. The Appeal to Reason raps
the powers that be, at Washington
and elsewhere, pretty hard and
perhaps in some instances uulustly,
but when the men who are assail.
ed undertake to suppress the paper
instead of proving to the world by
their official conduct that the
charges are untrue, they only add
to the general unrest that is abroad
in the land. The quickest way to
make socialist recruits in large
numbers is to suppress the socialist
press.

Twelve or fifteen years ago when
the populists wanted subtreasuries
and an elastic currency, they were
hooted at as calamity howlers

Within the past week there has been
very much similar ideas advocated
by high hnanciers over the country,
and even Roosevelt has given voice
to a similar idea.-AnthonyBulle

The Wichita Beacon has sent a
tracer out to locate the Kansas Day
Club. The aforesaid K. D. c. is
an organization of republican pie
hunters that assemble at Topeka
on Kansas Day-Jan. 2eth of each
year-make spread.eagle speeches
and fight over the allotment of the
offices for the following year. The
club is pretty we'll split up into
fractions now. A few years ago
several honest, brainy and fearless
young men were admitted to mem
bership and they aired the rotten
ness existing within their own
ranks and there has been conster-
nation among the grafters, hooters
and professional politicians ever
since. The enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law also had something
to do with depreciating the value
of stock in the organization. The
average republican politician can
not make speech without liquid
inspiration.

w. ]. Bryan announces that he
will accept the democratic nomi-
nation for president if it is tender
ed him but will make no effort to
secure it. He also states that if in
the judgment of the party some
other man is more available, he
will not sulk but will be in the
fight as earnestly as though he
were a candidate. His announce
ment is characteristic of the man.
1t proves, again, that the principles
which he advocates are far more
important to him than personal
ambition. He holds that he has
been sufficiently honored by his
party and any future honors could
not add to his personal gratihca-
ton, and 1t is for these reasons that
he desires the party to nominate
the strongest man, not losing sight
OF true democracy and the general
welfare of the nation. Our humble
opinion is that Mr.. Bryan is the
strongest man in the ranks today.

southern democrats tried New
York's plan and the result was the

ty has ever sustained. Let it be

MICHIGAN men
FOR ALTA CAMP
Party of Operators and Experts
Are Taking in District
this Week.
NEW DEAL Is IN PROSPECT
DETAILS WITHHELD PENDING
RETURN OF VISITORS.

Michigan operators, already largely in

another proposition and the prospects are
that the deal will be rounded into shape
within a week or such matter that
dpending on the time spent at camp by
the party of visitors who left for the
diggings yesterday afternoon. In this par
ty are Arthur Finley, an engineer of
Hancock; w. Frank James, of the same
place: Charles Cheynowth. of Calumet,
and Michael NJ. Foley, of Houghton.
These men are all more or less inter
ested in the Columbus Consolidated, South
Columbus and other propositions of the
district and, after inspecting the better
developed properties of the camp, they
will follow the natural bent of their lives
as mining men, and make a study OF
the camp in general. They all know what
mining is; they all realize that mines
are made rather than found, and what
they will want to know first of all in
the proposed starting of another enter
prise is that conditions are right for the
deposition of ore and that the chances
of getting it in paying quantities are
good.
Michigan is largely interested in the
camp now" said Mr.. Finley during the
day. "and many who have invested there
are well pleased with their ventures. Min
ing is their business to large extent
and they are always willing TO tackle
anything of real merit. They go into a
proposition with the knowledge of expert
ence that it requires time and money
to make a success of a mining enter
prise the same as any other and, being
aware of what is required at the start,
they never falte' in carrying propo-
sition through I think business will be
done on this trip, but IL would be pre-
mature to give any particulars until we
have been to camp and reach decision.
BY the end of the week, possibly, We
shall know all about it."
