statement of Roosevelt's policies in
his speech before the Buckeye clut
in Columbus, o., Monday evening
After answering the specious argu-
ments made by those who are voicine
the sentiments of ,..e powerful cor
porations which have been made to
feel the sting of justice, Secretary
aft turns ON Bryan and exposes the
weakness of Bryan's position. He
said:
"Mr. organs whole system of rem
edies, for the evils that both Mr..
Roosevelt and he and many others
recognize is based On his distrust of
the honesty, courage and impartiality
of the individual as an agent on be-
half of the people to carry on any
part of government and rests on the
proposition that our present system
of representative government is a
failure. He would have government
ownership of railways because he
does not believe it is possible to Sc
cure an interstate commerce COM
mission that the money power can
not and will not ultimately own. He
would have the initiative and refer
endum because he distruSts repre-
sentative government and has no con-
fidence in the ability of the people to
find men who will conscientiously,
and free from the influence of the
money power represent them in
preparing and voting legislation. He
would take away from courts, be-
cause he distrusts the ability of
Judges to resist the malign influence

enforce their own orders until jury
is called to tell the court whether the
order has been disobeyed, and thus,
in practice, though not in theory,
the jury would come to pass on the
correctness and Justice of the court S
order.
"Mr. Bryan seems to be seeking
some system of administering law
under which the rich wrong-doer
shall be certainly restrained, while
the lawless poor shall escape. He
would have his judicial machinery
adjusted to restrict the violations of
law by a corporation but would give
freedom of action to the lawless
members of a labor union. Indeed,
in the constitution of Oklahoma,
which he says is the greatest consti-
tuition ever written, this anomaly pre-
walls. No one can be punished for
violating an order of injunction or
restraint except after verdict of a
Jury deciding that the violation was
committed, and yet in the same con-
stitution. corporation commission
of an executive character, a body of
laymen, authorized to make orders
against railroads and other corpora
lions is empowered, If it's orders are
not obeyed to change itself into a
court and after giving due process of
law by hearing, to enforce its own
orders by a fine of $500 day until
the order is performed.
"Such a discrimination in practic-
al legislation can not be maintained
for moment. Courts and judicial
procedure are made for all and must
operate equally for and against all.
The only method by which wealthy
and powerful malefactors can be re-
strained is by maintaining the power
of the courts, and the minute the
power of the court is weakened in the
supposed interest of the lowly and
unfortunate accused of wrong-doing,
the lawless rich are furnished the
immunity they seek, The wealthy
wrong-doers could easily escape the
restraint of the law through the rents
in its meshes Mr.. Bryan would make
for the benefit of those with less in
fluence and means.
I'm all his proposed reforms, Mr..
Bryan seems to give little attention
to securing efficiency and force in
government so that the evils he rec
ognizes may be suppressed. The gov
eminent which his system of remed-
les would tend to produce would be
nerveless. Estopped by his own ex-
pressed fear of power put in the
hands of any individual, he would
find difficulty in welding it when
most needed.
Following are provisions of law
relating to publication of Mining
Patent Notices, found on Page 8, of
Copp's Manual of Mining Laws:
Section 50.-Upon the receipt of
these papers, if no reason appears
for rejecting the application, the
register will, at the expense of the
claimant (who must furnish the
agreement of the publisher to hold
applicant for patent alone respon-
sible for charges of publications. pub
lish a notice of such application for
the period of sixty days in a news
paper published nearest to the claim,
and will post a copy of such notice
in his office for the same period.
When the notice is published in
weekly newspaper, nine consecutive
insertions are necessary; when in
daily newspaper, the notice must APP
pear in each issue for sixty-one con-
secutive issues. In both cases the
first day of issue must be excluded in
estimating the period of sixty days.
Section 52.-The register shall
publish a notice of application for
patent in paper of established char
acter and general circulation, to be
by him designated as being the news
paper published nearest the land.
In some cases these laws have been
violated by publishing patent notices
distant from the land or claim. Pat
ents may be held up because of de-
fective publication.
Despite heavy liquidation in the
security market, the banks still ap-
pear to have all their available re-
sources occupied, and borrowers find
rates at the legal maximum, with an
extra commission to be paid for all
accommodation over the period of
pressure, says Dunn's Review.
During the next few months there
is no prospect of substantial relief,
rates of domestic exchange being
against this center and funds will be
withdrawn until the crops are har-
vested and sold. Last Saturdays
