A DIFFERENCE.

a great deal is being said and much
more will be said in the next year on
the question Of tariff revision. 1t is
generally conceded that there are some
schedules that need adjusting TO pre-
vent certain inequalities that have
arisen during the years of increasing
prosperity. This age would be different
from all others if that were not true.
The tariff has to be looked after and
the schedules adjusted occasionally
Just the same as the tax rate or any
other economic scale. But the great
question for the people to think about
is whether we want a tariff at all.
Our Democratic friends are not half so
much concerned about the matter of
the adjustment of the tariff as they
are with wiping it out altogether and
putting the American product and
American labor on the same footing as
foreign products and foreign labor.
The real question is, are we to have
tariff adjustment by Republicans, the
friends and advocates of protection to
American labor and American industries
or shall we turn the whole thing over
to the enemies of the tariff and protec-
tion-the Democratic party led by Mr..
Bryan and his free trade allies? These
are the vital points for the American
people ito think about while hunting
around to locate an issue and getting
ready to cast their votes at next years
election.

the Home Telephone company, was
last week nearly suffocated while
crowd of spectators stood and watch

Complaints that the latch on the

latch worked, but when he tried to
get out he found that he was a pris-
oner in the alright, soundproof booth.
The walls and door are of double
thickness and he knew that unless he
could get help he would suffocate, so
he turned to the telephone and notified
the men at the central Office of his
predicament. AS quickly as possible
a party of men was detailed for the
work of rescue. They fastened to the
depot with an outfit of tools and after
An hours work tore the booth to

Secretary Cortelyou made the an.
nouncement that, as means of af-
fording relief to the financial situa-
ton, the treasury will issue $5O,O00,-
roc of per cent. Panama bonds, and
S100,000,O0O certificates of indebted
1ess, or so much thereof as may be
necessary. The certificates will run
for one year and will bear per cent.
interest.
The secretary's action meets with
President Roosevelt's hearty approval,
and is the outcome of several confer
ences which have been held within
the past few days at the White
House. Secretary Cortelyou says that
the Panama bonds will afford most
substantial relief, because the law
provides that they may be used as a
basis for additional national bank cir
culation
He says also that the proceeds
from the sale of certificates can be
made directly available at points
where the need is most urgent espec-
tally for the movement of the crops,
which, he says, "if properly accelerat-
ed will give the greatest relief and re-
suit in the most immediate financial
returns" The secretary calls atten-
ton to the attractlveness of the bonds
and certificates as absolutely safe in
vestments.
Secretary Cortelyou adds that these
measures will enable him to meet pub
lie expenditures without withdrawing
for that purpose any appreciable
amount of the public moneys now de-
posted in national banks throughout
the country. Two treasury circulars,
one inviting proposals for the issue of
bonds and the other asking for the
certificates were sent out Monday.

decided on the status of college ath.

that college athletes may register
with the union from two places only,
their colleges and the homes OF their
parents or guardians. An attempt
was made to eoniine college athletes
to competitions at their colleges, but
the delegates believing that this
change was altogether too drastic, the
resolution was amended to include
their homes. Yet this action will pre-

Mr.. sryan's Announcement.

William J. Bryan announces that
he will accept the nomination for
| president in 1908, but he will neither
ask nor make q fight for it. He says
that for a year or more he has been
pressed to answer the question "Will
you accept nomination. and he be-
lieves the public is entitled to an an
swer and to know the position he oc-
| cupies. He says in part:
Now that the election of 1907 is
past and plans are being made for
next years campaign Mr.. Bryan feels
that statement is due to the public.
Those who prefer another candidate
are entitled to know his position and
those who favor his nomination have a
right to demand an answer to the
question so often put viii you accept
nomination? His refusal to answer
the question has led to the circula-
tion of many false reports, and un-
friendly newspapers have taken ad-
vantage of his silence to misrepresent
his attitude.
"Mr. Bryan will not ask for or seek
a nomination, and he will not assume
to decide the question of his avail
ability. He has been so amply recon-
pensed by his party for what he has
done and for what he has endeavored
to do that he cannot claim a nomina-
tion as a reward; neither should his
ambition be considered, for he has
had honors enough from mis- party to
satisfy any reasonable ambition.
THE only question then to weigh
with the party is whether the party
can be strengthened more by his NOM
ination than by the nomination of
some one else. If he can serve the
party by being its candidate, he will
accept the commission and make the
best fight he can. IT, however, the
choice falls upon another, he will not
be disappointed or disgruntled.
His availability is a question to be
decided not by him, not by few lead
ers, not even by the leading newspa-
pors that call themselves Democratic,
but by the voters of the party, and to
them he entrusts the decision of the
question-they are the supreme court
in all matters concerning candidates,
as they are in all matters concerning
the platform.
"He assumes that they will not Sc
lect him unless they desire to make
an aggressive fight for the application
of Democratic principles to present
conditions, and he also takes it for
granted that the organization of the
party will be in harmony with the
platform and will be composed of men
whose political records will invite con-
adence and give assurance that vic
tory, if won, will not be a barren vic
tory.
