Presidents Latest Letter

The President seems to have
magic and inexhaustible letter file
When he becomes involved in a con-
troversy, he has way of going to
his file, getting out a letter he had
written to somebody or other month";
or years before, and flashing it upon
his opponent and the public as a sort
of card up his sleeve, as it were. II
requires no little adroitness to pre-
pare a series of letters for future
emergencies; which is to say that
the President is pretty foxy, for hi;
letter cabinet seems to be stocked
for anything that turns up.
He answers committee of the
Central Federation Union r, digging
into his file and bringing forth let
ter written by him to the attorney
general on March rs, Ioo6-over {
year ago. The committee visited him
last week to protest against his ami
madversions on Meyer, and Hay
wood as undesirable citizens, ane
complain that he was injuring theil
chances of a fair trial; this letter
shows that shortly after the men hat
been arrested he became interested
in seeing that they were not perse
cuted nor wronged nor in any way
denied the complete justice; also,
that the court should not be subject
ed to any undue pressure or infuenc,
that should render it difficult to con
vict them if guilty, and it disclose.
that he gave explicit directions to
the attorney general to keep a clos,
watch on the case as a sentinel of
justice. A rather adroit retort!
The response made by the Presi
dent to the New York committee
ought to be complete and satisfac
tory answer to it and all others wht
have been assiduous1y assailing him
He has "a perfect right to conside
socialistic agitators and apostles o
violence as undesirable citizens
even though they be absolutely guilt
! les of murder
And free and impartial trial i
all that Meyer, Haywood and thei
! friends should want That is all tina
anybody should want If innocent
! such trial will establish it; surel,
the prisoners partisans are not ser1
Gus in their irlsinuations that they
should be set free if guilty.-Courie

NO ELECTION
THIS YEAR
$4,000 IN 1910

The decision OF the Board of
Supervisors last Tuesday, to allow
the names of signers to the petition
fled for the calling of an election for
local option, to be withdrawn, wheth
er right or wrong, ended the contest
in this county for prohibition until the
new year, which has, for the past
month, been the most interesting
question to our people Never has
there been witnessed in any county
for any cause, more determination,
personal sacrifice, work and devotion
than was exhibited in this fight by
the noble women of this city, and
while one may differ with them i'll
their opinions, all are compelled to
admit that they were honest in then,
and admire and honor them for the
open and determined fight made.
Such principles and devotion are
bound to triumph in the end

The Democratic party today, for
the first time in many years, IS united
it is harmonious both as TO candidate
and platform There is not the
slightest question, but what Mr.. w.
y. Bryan will be its leader in the next
national struggle and the Democratic
platform his principles, and both will
triunphantly win. His broad intelli-
gence, fidelity TO his party and its
leaders, and true Democratic prlnci,
pies. have won the regard and ad-
miration OF all sections of the coun-
try and all classes of people.
The corporate interests. by thei.
gifts of thousands, and lies, that were
able to defeat him in 1896 and 1900
can no longer scare the laboring mar
into voting the Republican ticket, fc'
the s1ture welfare of themselves ane
country. He IS today the populai
and trusted candidate OF all classe.
and will defeat Taft or any other mai

Truly, stranger things have hap
pened than Mr.. Bryan in 1909.

this speech. All must agree
whether they differ from Mr.. Thomas
